General Description
The PVI5033R Photovoltaic Isolator is a dual-
channel, 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. The dual- channel 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. 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” terminals. It is available in standard plastic
shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Refer to Part
Identification information.
