PVI5013RS-T

The PVI5013R 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 PVI5013R is ideally suited for applications requiring high-current and/or high voltage switching with optical isolation between the lowlevel driving circuitry and high-energy or highvoltage load circuits. It can be used for directly driving gates of power MOSFETs. The dualchannel configuration allows its outputs to drive independent discrete power MOSFETs, or be connected in parallel or in series to provide higher-current drive for power MOSFETs or higher-voltage drive for IGBTs. PVI5013R employs a fast turn-off circuitry.

PVI5013R Photovoltaic Isolators are packaged in an 8-pin, molded DIP package with either thru- hole or "gull-wing" terminals. It is available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-andreel. Refer to Part Identification information.
