GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Series PVA13NPbF Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-100V AC/DC, 375mA FEATURES
The PVA13 Series overcomes the limitations of both conventional electromechanical and reed relays by offering the solid state advantages of long life, fast operating speed, low pick up power, bounce-free operation, low thermal offset voltages and miniature package. These advantages allow product improvement and design innovations in many applications such as process control, multiplexing, automatic test equipment and data acquisition. The PVA13 can switch analog signals from thermocouple level to 100 Volts peak AC or DC polarity. Signal frequencies into the RF range are easily controlled and switching rates up to 450Hz are achievable. The extremely small thermally generated offset voltages allow increased measurement accuracies. These relays are packaged in 8-pin, molded DIP packages and available with either thru-hole or surface-mount (“gull-wing”) leads, in plastic shipping tubes.
