1. 4N31 Substitution Conclusion
The 4N31 is not recommended as a direct substitute for the H11G3. The key differences lie in the output voltage capability (30V vs. 55V) and the sensitivity of the Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) (50% @ 10mA vs. 200% @ 1mA). First, if the original circuit design operates with an output or supply voltage exceeding 30V, using the 4N31 could lead to output stage breakdown and failure. Second, to achieve the same output current, the 4N31 requires a significantly larger input drive current (approximately 4-5 times greater) than the H11G3. This may overload the preceding driver circuit or prevent the output from reaching saturation, severely compromising circuit performance and reliability.
2. TIL113 Substitution Conclusion
The TIL113 can serve as a conditional substitute for the H11G3, but the specific operating conditions of the circuit must be evaluated. The primary variances are in output voltage capability (30V vs. 55V), switching speed (turn-on 350ns vs. 5µs), and a higher CTR (300% @ 10mA). First, similar to the 4N31, it is critical to ensure the circuit operates within the 30V safe voltage range to avoid risk. Second, its exceptionally high CTR and faster turn-on speed offer superior performance and easier driving in digital switching applications. However, for analog or slowly varying signal isolation circuits that rely on the original, slower switching characteristics, the faster response of the TIL113 may introduce noise or stability issues.
