Datasheet International Rectifier PVI

Data Sheet No. PD 10029-G Series PVI
Photovoltaic Isolator
5-10 Volt Output General Description Features The PVI Photovoltaic Isolator generates an electrically isolated DC voltage upon receipt of a DC input
signal. The input of the PVI is a light-emitting diode
(LED) which is optically coupled to, but electrically
isolated from, the output. A GaAIAs LED is used for
high output and maximum stability. The infrared
emission from the LED energizes, by photovoltaic
action, a series connection of silicon PN junctions. A
unique alloyed junction stack which is edge-illuminated is used to form the output photovoltaic generators. This novel structure produces extremely high
operating efficiency. Units are available with a single
5-volt output or dual 5-volt outputs which can be
series connected to produce 10 volts. Isolated Voltage Source
