PVI5013RS

Product Summary

The PVI5013RS is a photovoltaic isolator. It is a dualchannel, opto-isolated driver capable of directly driving gates of power MOSFETs or IGBTs. The PVI5013RS utilizes a monolithic integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel construction as its output. The output is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. The PVI5013RS is ideally suited for applications requiring high-current and/or high voltage switching with optical isolation between the lowlevel driving circuitry and high-energy or highvoltage load circuits. The PVI5013RS can be used for directly driving gates of power MOSFETs. The dualchannel configuration allows its outputs to drive independent discrete power MOSFETs, or be connected in parallel or in series to provide higher-current drive for power MOSFETs or higher-voltage drive for IGBTs. Applications are (1)Telecommunications; (2)Load distribution; (3)Industrial controls; (4)Instrumentation and measurement.
