Infineon, PVI1050NPBF DC Input Dual Optocoupler, Through Hole, 8-Pin DIP

The Infineon 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 GaAlAs light emitting diode, which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. The PVI Series is ideally suited for applications requiring high-current and/or 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.
