General Description
The H11FXM series consists of a Gallium-AluminumArsenide IRED emitting diode coupled to a symmetrical
bilateral silicon photo-detector. The detector is electrically isolated from the input and performs like an ideal
isolated FET designed for distortion-free control of low
level AC and DC analog signals. The H11FXM series
devices are mounted in dual in-line packages.
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

parasitic feedback to the controlling function.
Accuracy and range are improved over conventional FET
switches because the H11FXM has no charge injection from
the control signal. The H11FXM also provides switching of
either polarity input signal up to 30V magnitude..

This simple circuit provides over 70db of stable gain control for
an AGC signal range of from 0 to 30mA. This basic circuit can
be used to provide programmable fade and attack for electronic

The linearity of resistance and the low offset voltage of the
H11FXM allows the remote tuning or band-switching of active
filters without switching glitches or distortion. This schematic
illustrates the concept, with current to the H11F1M IRED’s
controlling the filter’s transfer characteristic.

In many test equipment designs the auto polarity function uses
reed relay contacts to switch the Kelvin Contact polarity. These
reeds are normally one of the highest maintenance cost items
due to sticking contacts and mechanical problems. The totally
solid-State H11FXM eliminates these troubles while providing
faster switching.
