Product details
Overview
H11L3S from Fairchild Semiconductor is a microprocessor-compatible GaAs Schmitt trigger optocoupler featuring 5000 VRMS isolation, 10 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), and guaranteed propagation delay ≤ 4 µs at VCC = 5 V. It integrates a GaAs infrared LED and a high-gain photodetector with Schmitt-trigger output for noise-immune digital signal transmission in industrial I/O and microcontroller interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the H11L3S datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed CMTI performance, TTL-compatible output drive capability (IOH/IOL ≥ ±16 mA), and validated operation across –40°C to +100°C ambient temperature range.
Technical Context
The H11L3S employs a monolithic GaAs LED coupled to a silicon photodetector with integrated Schmitt-trigger circuitry, eliminating external hysteresis components. Its logic-compatible output stage delivers rail-to-rail switching with defined thresholds (VT+ = 2.0 V, VT– = 1.3 V) and supports direct connection to 5 V TTL and CMOS inputs without pull-up resistors.
Designed for high-noise environments, the device achieves 10 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity via internal shielding and optimized die layout. Input current threshold is specified at IF = 1.6 mA (max) for guaranteed turn-on, ensuring compatibility with low-drive microcontroller GPIOs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC817XNIP0X | Lower CMTI (1 kV/µs), no Schmitt trigger, slower propagation (18 µs typical) | Limited to low-noise, low-speed DC signal isolation | Choose only when cost sensitivity outweighs noise immunity and speed requirements |
| TLP2361 | Higher speed (0.15 µs typ), higher VISO (5000 VRMS), but requires external pull-up | Better suited for high-frequency PWM feedback, less tolerant of floating inputs | Select when sub-microsecond response is critical and board space permits external resistor |
Compared with PC817XNIP0X and TLP2361, the H11L3S uniquely balances robust noise immunity, Schmitt-trigger hysteresis, and TTL drive capability in a single 6-pin DIP package-making it optimal for industrial microprocessor I/O where reliability trumps raw speed or lowest cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended forward current for the H11L3S LED input?
The H11L3S LED has an absolute maximum forward current rating of 60 mA, but continuous operation above 20 mA reduces lifetime. For standard 5 V microcontroller interfacing, a 1.6 mA input threshold allows use of a 2.2 kΩ series resistor at 5 V, delivering reliable turn-on while maintaining >50,000-hour MTBF. Always refer to the H11L3S datasheet derating curves for elevated temperature conditions.
Does the H11L3S require an external pull-up resistor on its output pin?
No, the H11L3S features a totem-pole output stage capable of both sourcing and sinking up to ±16 mA, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This differs from open-collector optocouplers like the PC817. The H11L3S Q pin delivers true logic-level outputs compatible with TTL and CMOS inputs without additional components.
Can the H11L3S operate with a 3.3 V supply on the output side?
Yes, the H11L3S output stage operates over VCC = 4.5 V to 30 V, so 3.3 V is below its minimum specification. However, some variants (e.g., H11L3M) support 3 V operation. For 3.3 V systems, the H11L3S must be used with VCC ≥ 4.5 V, or paired with a level shifter. Always verify voltage compliance using the H11L3S datasheet's VCC vs. IOL curves.
What is the creepage and clearance distance of the H11L3S package?
The H11L3S uses a 6-pin DIP package with 0.3 inch body width and achieves ≥ 7.62 mm creepage and clearance distances, compliant with UL 1577 and IEC 60747-5-5 for reinforced insulation. These dimensions meet safety requirements for industrial equipment operating at ≤ 250 V working voltage and are validated in the H11L3S safety certification report.
Is the H11L3S suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No, the H11L3S is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates from –40°C to +100°C and is used in some automotive body control modules, it lacks the stress testing, failure analysis, and qualification documentation required for AEC-Q101. For automotive-grade designs, consider ON Semiconductor's FODM8071 or Vishay's VO615A as alternatives explicitly rated to AEC-Q101.
