Series PVG613
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET
Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-60V, 1.0A AC/ 2.0 A DC
General Description
The PVG613 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-
pole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace
electromechanical relays in many applications. It util-
izes International Rectifier's proprietary HEXFET
power MOSFET as the output switch, driven by an
integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel
construction. The output switch is controlled by ra-
diation from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED)
which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic
generator.
These units exceed the performance capabilities of
electromechanical relays in operating life, sensitiv-
ity, stable on-resistance, low off-state leakage, minia-
turization, insensitivity to magnetic fields and
ruggedess. The compact PVG613 is particularly suited
for isolated switching of high currents from 12 to 48
Volt AC or DC power sources.
Series PVG613 Relays are packaged in a 6-pin, molded
DIP package with either through-hole or surface mount
(gull-wing) terminals. It is available in standard plastic
shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to Part
Identification information opposite.
