PVI5080NPBF

The PVI5080NPBF is a through-hole Photovoltaic Isolator generates an electrically isolated DC voltage upon receipt of a DC input signal. It is 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 GaAIAs light emitting diode (LED), which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. It is ideally suited for applications requiring high-current and 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 device 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 for IGBTs. The photovoltaic isolator employs fast turn-off circuitry.
