Product details
Overview
VO2630-X009T from Vishay Semiconductors is a dual-channel high-speed optocoupler with 10 MBd data rate, open-drain NMOS outputs per channel, and no enable pin. It isolates digital signals between microcontroller I/O and industrial bus interfaces while maintaining timing integrity in motor control feedback loops and PLC input modules.
For engineers reviewing the VO2630-X009T datasheet, VO2630-X009T pinout, VO2630-X009T application, or VO2630-X009T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel isolation without enable logic, 42 ns tpHL / 53 ns tpLH propagation delays at 5 V, and compatibility with 350 Ω pull-up and 15 pF load conditions.
Technical Context
The VO2630-X009T integrates two independent optocoupler channels in one SOIC-8 package, each combining a high-efficiency GaAs LED input stage and a monolithically integrated photodiode + amplifier + NMOS output driver. No enable function is implemented - both channels operate continuously when forward-biased.
Each channel delivers open-drain NMOS output with typical VOL = 1.5 V at IF = 7.5 mA and RL = 350 Ω, supporting standard TTL/CMOS logic interfacing. The device operates over 0–70 °C ambient temperature and requires external pull-up resistors on VO1 and VO2 pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 10 MBd - supports high-speed serial communication up to 10 million bits per second with guaranteed timing margins. |
| Propagation Delay tpHL | 42 ns - ensures fast low-to-high transition response critical for real-time control loop sampling. |
| Propagation Delay tpLH | 53 ns - defines maximum latency for rising-edge signal transmission across isolation barrier. |
| Input Threshold Current ITH | 5 mA - minimum LED forward current required to reliably switch output from high to low state. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - enables wired-OR logic, level shifting, and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5 V). |
| Isolation Voltage | 5000 VRMS - provides reinforced insulation for safety-critical industrial and medical equipment interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
VO2630-X009T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SO-8, 3.9 mm body width) with standard surface-mount footprint and creepage/clearance compliant with IEC 60747-5-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode Channel 1 | LED anode input for first optocoupler channel; requires series current-limiting resistor. |
| K1 | Cathode Channel 1 | LED cathode return for Channel 1; connects to ground or controller sink output. |
| K2 | Cathode Channel 2 | LED cathode return for second optocoupler channel; electrically isolated from K1. |
| A2 | Anode Channel 2 | LED anode input for second optocoupler channel; independent of A1/K1 path. |
| GND | Detector Ground | Common reference for NMOS output stages and internal detector circuitry. |
| VO2 | Output Channel 2 | Open-drain NMOS drain terminal for Channel 2; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| VO1 | Output Channel 1 | Open-drain NMOS drain terminal for Channel 1; independently controllable from VO2. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Positive supply (typically 4.5–5.5 V) for detector IC; powers both output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent channels | Two fully isolated signal paths in single SOIC-8 package reduce board space vs. discrete optocouplers. |
| No enable pin | Eliminates control logic overhead and PCB routing for strobe signals - simplifies interface design. |
| High-speed NMOS output | Sub-100 ns propagation delays enable use in 10 MBd UART, SPI isolation, and encoder feedback links. |
| Standard SOIC-8 footprint | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 6N137-based designs when dual-channel operation is needed. |
| 5000 VRMS isolation | Meets reinforced insulation requirements for UL 1577 and IEC 60747-5-2 in industrial safety applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VO2631-X009T | Identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (X009T vs. X007T). | No functional difference - used interchangeably where packaging format is not constrained. | Select VO2631-X009T only if identical reel specification is required for SMT line compatibility. |
| 6N137-000E | Single-channel, includes enable pin (VE) and different pinout (8-pin DIP); 10 MBd, similar tpHL/tpLH. | Requires redesign for dual-channel use; VE pin adds control complexity but enables power gating. | Choose 6N137-000E only when single-channel operation with strobing capability is mandatory. |
Compared with VO2630-X009T, VO2631-X009T offers identical performance in alternate packaging, while 6N137-000E trades dual-channel simplicity for enable-controlled single-channel flexibility - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping high-speed isolation needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for VO2630-X009T?
The VO2630-X009T is rated for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Exceeding 5.5 V risks damage to the internal NMOS output transistors and violates the absolute maximum ratings specified in Vishay's official documentation. Always use a well-regulated 5 V supply with local decoupling capacitors near the VCC and GND pins of VO2630-X009T.
Does VO2630-X009T require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, VO2630-X009T requires external pull-up resistors on both VO1 and VO2 pins because it features open-drain NMOS outputs. A typical value is 350 Ω to 5 V, matching the 10 MBd timing test condition. Pull-up values affect rise time and power consumption - lower resistance improves speed but increases current draw when outputs are low.
Can VO2630-X009T replace a 6N137 in an existing design?
VO2630-X009T cannot directly replace a 6N137 due to fundamental differences: VO2630-X009T is dual-channel with no enable pin and different pin mapping (A1/K1/K2/A2/GND/VO2/VO1/VCC), whereas 6N137 is single-channel with enable (VE) and pinout DA/DK/GND/VO/VE/VCC. Board redesign is required to accommodate VO2630-X009T.
What is the input LED forward voltage of VO2630-X009T at 5 mA?
The VO2630-X009T LED forward voltage is typically 1.45 V at IF = 5 mA and TA = 25 °C, based on Vishay's characterization data for this family. This value is consistent across VO2630, VO2631, and VO4661 variants and must be accounted for when calculating series resistor values for 3.3 V or 5 V drive sources.
Is VO2630-X009T certified for reinforced insulation per IEC 60747-5-2?
Yes, VO2630-X009T is certified to IEC 60747-5-2 for reinforced insulation with 5000 VRMS isolation voltage and minimum creepage/clearance of 5.0 mm. This certification is documented in Vishay's official safety approval reports and applies to the VO2630-X009T variant in SOIC-8 package, making it suitable for medical and industrial safety-critical applications.
