General Description
The PVI5013R Photovoltaic Isolator is a dual-channel,
opto-isolated driver capable of directly driving gates
of power MOSFETs or IGBTs. It 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 PVI5013R is ideally suited for applications requiring
high-current and/or high voltage switching with optical
isolation between the low-level driving circuitry and high-
energy or high- voltage load circuits. It can be used for
directly driving gates of power MOSFETs. The dual-
channel 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.
PVI5013R employs a fast turn-off circuitry.
PVI5013R Photovoltaic Isolators are packaged in an 8-
pin, molded DIP package with either through-hole or
surface-mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in
standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel.
