PVDZ172NPbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-60V DC, 1.5A
General Description
The PVDZ172N Photovoltaic Relay is a single-pole, normally open solid state relay that can replace electromechanical relays used for general purpose switching of DC loads. 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.
