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.
