Sillumin SiLM6000
The SiLM6000 is an integrated power line communication (PLC) receiver that is designed for photovoltaic array rapid shutdown. With the integrated NFET driver, the SiLM6000 provides a simple system design that complies with the requirements of the National Electric Code for photovoltaic module level shutdown. When the PLC receiver detects a system generated keep alive signal on the DC power line, the gate driver controls an external switch to connect the PV module to the string.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In the absence of the keep alive signal, the gate drive turns off the external switch and allows the PV module to be disconnected from the string. The SiLM6000 additionally provides a 1V, 10mA regulated output that can be applied to the PV array during shutdown which compliance with the SunSpecTM Alliance specification. The SiLM6000 operates with input voltage from 10.5V to 110V and supports junction temperature between 40℃ to 125℃.FEATURES
