Series PVI5013RPbF
Photovoltaic Isolator
Solid-State
Opto-Isolated MOSFET Gate Driver
Dual-Channel, 5V, 1.0µA
General Description
The PVI5013R Photovoltaic Isolator is a dual-channel,
opto-isolated driver capable of directly driving gates
of power MOSFETs or IGBTs. It util izes a monolithic
integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel
construction as its output. The output is controlled by
radiation from a GaAlAs light emit ting diode (LED)
which is optically isolated from the photovol taic
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 conguration
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 thru-hole or
surface-mount (gull-wing) termi nals. It is avail able in
standard plastic ship ping tubes or on tape-and-reel.
