Series PVR33NPbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Dual-Pole, Normally-Open
0-300V AC/DC, 165mA
General Description
The PVR33 Series AC/DC Relay is a dual-pole, normally
open, solid-state replacement for electromechanical
relays used for general purpose switching of analog
signals. It utilizes International Rectier’s HEXFET
power MOSFETs as the output switches, 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 PVR33 Series overcomes the limitations of
both conventional electromechanical and reed
relays by offering the solid state advantages of
long life, fast operating speed, low pick up power,
bounce-free operation, low thermal offset voltages
and miniature package. These advantages allow
product improvement and design innovations in many
applications such as process control, multiplexing,
automatic test equipment and data acquisition.
The PVR33 can switch analog signals from
thermocouple level to 300 Volts peak AC or DC
polarity. Signal frequencies into the RF range are
easily controlled and switching rates up to 350Hz are
achievable. The extremely small thermally generated
offset voltages allow increased measurement
accuracies.
These relays are packaged in 16-pin, molded DIP
packages and available with thru-hole leads, in plastic
shipping tubes.
