Series PVY117
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 singlepole, normally-open solid-state relay that can replace dry and Mercury-wetted reed relays in many applications. It utilizes International Rectifiers 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 relays 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.
