Overview
The 6N136M optocoupler, produced by onsemi, is a high-performance transistor optocoupler designed for high-speed applications. It consists of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high-speed photodetector transistor. This configuration allows for the transmission of signals between two electrically isolated circuits, making it suitable for various industrial and electronic applications. The 6N136M is known for its enhanced speed and noise immunity, thanks to a separate connection for the bias of the photodiode and an internal noise shield.
