10 Mbits/s optocoupler provides simple solution for isolated signaling
The DPC6137 optocoupler series from Diodes Incorporated, which features a high isolation rating, has various safety approvals certifying its suitability for use in industrial and computing equipment.
Diodes Incorporated has released the DPC6137 series of optocouplers, providing a robust and easy solution to implement for isolated data transfers at rates up to 10 Mbits/s in industrial, consumer, and computer applications.
The phototransistors in the DPC6137 offer low capacitive coupling, which enables them to support high-speed isolated data transmission. The optocoupler features two chips, an infrared diode emitter and an open-collector Schottky-clamped phototransistor with a high current transfer ratio. This circuit provides 5 kV of isolation between the two dies.
The DPC6137 series is available in three industry-standard 8-pin package types: two through-hole and one surface-mount.
