Description

Ordering Information

Pin Configuration

Series, or Isolated Configuration

The FDA215 is a dual photovoltac MOSFET driver

that uses a pair of optically coupled GaAIAs LEDs to

drive two photodiode arrays. When the input current

is applied to the LED, the light emitted activates

the photodiode array, and generates a voltage at the

output. The photodiode arrays are capable of

generating a floating source voltage and current

sufficient to drive high power MOSFET transistors.

The optical coupling provides a high level of input to

output isolation. The FDA215 is well suited for use in

discrete solid state relay designs and other isolated

switching applications.
