Product details
Overview
H11N3-M from ON Semiconductor is a 6-pin DIP Schmitt trigger output optocoupler with AlGaAs infrared LED input and open-collector logic-compatible detector, delivering 5 MHz NRZ data rate, 4170 VACRMS isolation voltage, and guaranteed hysteresis for noise-immune digital signal isolation in industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the H11N3-M datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input threshold current (0.8–3.2 mA), output sink capability (16 mA @ 0.5 V max), supply voltage range (4–15 V), and UL/DIN safety certifications for reinforced insulation in AC/DC interface designs.
Technical Context
The H11N3-M integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a monolithic IC detector featuring a Schmitt trigger with defined hysteresis (IF(off)/IF(on) = 0.65–0.95), enabling clean pulse shaping without external components. Its open-collector output supports flexible pull-up configurations across TTL, CMOS, and microprocessor systems.
Designed for high-noise environments, it operates across −40°C to +85°C with guaranteed turn-on/turn-off thresholds, 100 ns minimum turn-on time, and 12 ns fall time. Safety-rated insulation (VIORM = 850 Vpeak, VISO = 4170 VACRMS) complies with UL1577 and DIN-EN/IEC60747-5-5 standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for the H11N3-M LED input?
The H11N3-M LED input has a maximum continuous forward current (IF) rating of 30 mA at TA = 25°C, with derating above that temperature. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and must not be exceeded to ensure long-term reliability. The H11N3-M datasheet also defines a peak forward current of 100 mA for 1 s pulses at 300 pps. Operating the H11N3-M within these limits preserves LED luminous intensity over its service life.
Does the H11N3-M require an external pull-up resistor on its output pin?
Yes, the H11N3-M features an open-collector output (pin 6, VO), which requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC or another logic rail to define the HIGH state voltage level. The H11N3-M output can sink up to 50 mA, and typical designs use 270 Ω to 10 kΩ pull-ups depending on speed and load requirements. Without this resistor, the H11N3-M output remains floating and cannot drive logic HIGH.
What safety certifications does the H11N3-M hold, and what do they cover?
The H11N3-M is certified to UL1577 (4170 VACRMS for 1 minute) and DIN-EN/IEC60747-5-5 (850 Vpeak working insulation voltage). These ratings validate its suitability for reinforced insulation in end equipment. The H11N3-M achieves VIORM = 850 Vpeak and VPR = 1594 Vpeak in 100% production testing, ensuring consistent isolation barrier integrity across manufacturing lots.
Can the H11N3-M operate with a 3.3 V supply on its detector side?
No, the H11N3-M detector requires a minimum VCC of 4 V per the Electrical Characteristics table; operation at 3.3 V is outside specification and may result in undefined output behavior or failure to meet VOL ≤ 0.5 V and hysteresis guarantees. For 3.3 V systems, consider alternative optocouplers explicitly rated down to 3 V, or use a level-shifter - the H11N3-M is not designed for sub-4 V VCC operation.
How does the Schmitt trigger in the H11N3-M improve noise immunity compared to standard phototransistor optocouplers?
The Schmitt trigger in the H11N3-M introduces controlled hysteresis (IF(off)/IF(on) = 0.65–0.95), creating distinct turn-on and turn-off thresholds that prevent multiple transitions during slow or noisy input edges. Unlike standard phototransistor optocouplers - which lack hysteresis and can oscillate under marginal input conditions - the H11N3-M delivers clean, jitter-free digital outputs even with slowly rising/falling or EMI-contaminated LED drive signals.
