Optoisolators employ an electrical component isolated from the rest of a circuit by light or other electromagnetic radiation. As part of a signal integrity system, optoisolators can help protect microchips from high voltage surges, which can be damaging. Among the various types of optoisolators is 6N137S which is in the category of Logic Output isolator. This article explains the application field of the 6N137S device as well as its working principle.

Application Field of 6N137S:

The 6N137S device is in the Logic Output isolator category. It provides a low-cost isolating alternative for logic-level signals. Furthermore, the 6N137S is designed for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. It is ideal for how load-switching applications in the industrial automation industry. It is also employed for monitoring devices in the consumer electronics industries.

Some of the most common application fields for the 6N137S include: HVAC, medical equipment, automotive components, industrial equipment, control systems, and aerospace applications. In addition, the 6N137S is widely used in cable and satellite television headend equipment, as well as in satellite navigation systems.

Working Principle of 6N137S:

At the heart of the device is a light-emitting diode (LED) connected to an output transistor. This LED emits light when current flows through it. The output transistor is used to regulate the light output from the LED. When the output transistor is off, no current flows through the LED, and the LED does not emit any light.

The light from the LED passes through an optically isolated section of the device to the logic circuit. This optically isolated section is what enables the device to provide electrical isolation between two sections of a circuit. The logic circuit is then triggered based on the level of light from the LED. When the light is at a certain level, the logic circuit is triggered and the corresponding action is taken. Depending on the particular application, this could be the turning on or off of a load or the passing of a signal from one part of the circuit to another.

In this way, the 6N137S device is able to provide high-level electrical isolation while still allowing the logic circuit to accurately interpret the signals. This makes the 6N137S an ideal device for many applications, especially those dealing with high voltage surge protection. As mentioned earlier, it is commonly found in the industrial automation, consumer electronics, HVAC, medical equipment, automotive, industrial equipment, control systems, and aerospace industries.

Conclusion:

The 6N137S is an optoisolator in the Logic Output isolator category. It is used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, such as HVAC, medical equipment, automotive components, and also in control systems and aerospace applications. The 6N137S works by using a light-emitting diode connected to an output transistor, which regulates the light output from the LED. The light passes through an optically isolated section of the device, enabling electrical isolation between two sections of a circuit. The 6N137S is an ideal device for many applications due to its ability to provide high-level electrical isolation and still accurately interpret the signals.
