Series PVI5033RPbF
Photovoltaic Isolator
Solid-State
Opto-Isolated MOSFET Gate Driver
Dual-Channel, 5V, 5µA
General Description
The PVI5033R Photovoltaic Isolator is a dual-
channel, opto-isolated driver capable of directly
driving gates of power MOSFETs or IGBTs. It util izes
a monolithic integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of
novel construction as its output. The output is controlled
by radiation from a GaAlAs light emit ting diode (LED)
which is optically isolated from the photovol taic
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. The dual- channel conguration
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. PVI5033R employs a
fast turn-off circuitry.
PVI5033R Photovoltaic Isolators are packaged in
an 8-pin, molded DIP package with either thru-hole or
“gull-wing” termi nals. It is avail able in standard plastic
ship ping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Refer to Part
Identica tion in formation.
