Series PVI5033RPbF
Photovoltaic Isolator Solid-State
Opto-Isolated MOSFET Gate Driver Dual-Channel, 5V, 5mA
General Description
The PVI5033R Photovoltaic Isolator is a dualchannel, 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 PVI5033R 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.
