General Description

The PVR13 Series AC/DC Relay is a dual-pole,

normally open, solid-state replacement for

electromechanical relays used for general purpose

switching of analog signals. It utilizes International

Rectifier’s HEXFET power MOSFETs as the output

switches, 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 PVR13 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 PVR13 can switch analog signals from

thermocouple level to 100 Volts peak AC or DC

polarity. 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 16-pin, molded DIP

packages and available with thru-hole leads, in

plastic shipping tubes.
