PVT422P
Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Dual Pole, Normally Open
0-400V, 120mA AC/DC
General Description
The PVT422P Series Photovoltaic Relay is a dual-pole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace electromechanical relays in many applications. It utilizes International Rectifier’s HEXFET power MOSFET as the output switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel construction. The output switch is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator.
PVT422P is ideally suited for PCMCIA card applications. Its extremely low profile allows it to be used in Type II cards whose outer shells are only 5mm thick.
