General Description
The PVI5013R 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 PVI5013R 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. PVI5013R
employs a fast turn-off circuitry.
PVI5013R Photovoltaic Isolators are packaged
in an 8-pin, molded DIP package with either thru-
