6N138S1(TA)-V

Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output, are elements that transmit signals between two circuits that are electrically isolated from each other while maintaining electrical isolation. They open and close electrical circuits without the need for direct electrical connection between the input and output paths. The 6N138S1 (TA)-V is an example of an optoisolator from Fisch Instruments with a transistor, photovoltaic output. This device is used for applications such as level shifting, data link isolation, and logic level shifting.

The 6N138S1 (TA)-V has an optocoupler which is a combination of an infrared (IR) light emitting diode (LED) and an NPN silicon photo transistor. The LED is the input, emitting light upon application of a current and the output is the photo transistor, which serves as the load resistor. Under the influence of light, electrical current is generated, collecting on a positively charged plate inside the transistor. This current can activate the collector-emitter connection which then allows the output signal to connect with ground.

The 6N138S1 (TA)-V features two LEDs in one package, with one LED emitting 1 mA and the other LED emitting 2 mA with continuous forward current. It also features a high isolation resistance of up to 1 GigaOhms and an operating temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The 6N138S1 (TA)-V has a wide range of applications including voltage level shifting, signal isolation, and logic level shifting. It helps reduce system noise and EMI and improves system performance and reliability.

The 6N138S1 (TA)-V is ideal for applications which require the transfer of logic level signals between two circuits which are isolated from electric shock and RF interference. It is also used in motor control systems, coupling, instrumentation and communication systems, and industrial automation systems. The 6N138S1 (TA)-V can also be used in applications where external power sources are unsolvable, by converting the control signal from the source into a light signal which is then converted back to an electric signal by the 6N138S1 (TA)-V.

In summary, the 6N138S1 (TA)-V is an optoisolator with a transistor, photovoltaic output. It is mainly used for applications like volume level shifting, data link isolation, and logic level shifting. Its features include an isolation resistance of up to 1 GigaOhms, and two LEDs in one package, with one LED emitting 1 mA and the other LED emitting 2 mA with continuous forward current. Its applications include voltage level shifting, signal isolation, motor control systems, and industrial automation systems.
