Data Sheet No. PD10052-D

Series PVD13N

Microelectronic Power IC

Single-Pole, Normally-Open

0-100V DC, 550mA

General Description

The PVD13 Series DC Relay (PVD) is a single-pole,

normally open, solid-state replacement for

electromechanical relays used for general purpose

switching of analog signals. It utilizes International

Rectifier’s 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 PVD13 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 PVD13 can switch analog signals from

thermocouple level to 100 Volts peak DC. Signal

frequencies into the RF range are easily controlled

and switching rates up to 450Hz are achievable. The

extremely small thermally generated offset voltages

allow increased measurement accuracies.

These relays are packaged in 8-pin, molded DIP

packages and available with either thru-hole or

surface-mount (“gull-wing”) leads, in plastic shipping

tubes.
