Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET
Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-40V AC/DC, 470mA
General Description
The PVY117 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-
pole, normally-open solid-state relay that can replace
dry and Mercury-wetted reed relays in many appli-
cations. It utilizes 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 radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED),
which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic
generator.
The PVY117 is ideally suited for use as matrix relay
in low voltage ATE applications and general
instrumentation applications involving high frequency
test signals. This can be accomplished thanks to the
extremely low Figure Of Merit (FOM = Coff * Ron),
which is the product of the relay's off-state output
capacitance and on-state resistance.
The PVY117 is packaged in a 4-pin, molded small
outline package (SOP-4) with surface mount (gull
wing) terminals. It is available in plastic shipping
tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to Part
Identification information.
