DESCRIPTION
The 6N137A is single channel 10 MBd optocouplers utilizing
a high efficient input LED coupled to a very high speed
integrated photo-detector logic gate with a strobable
output. This detector features an open collector. The internal
shield provides a guaranteed common mode transient
immunity of 1 kV/μs. The use of a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor
connected between pin 5 and 8 is recommended.
