General Description
The PVY116 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-
pole, normally-open solid-state relay that can replace
dry and Mercury-wetted reed relays in many appli-
cations. It utilizes International Rectifier鈥檚 proprietary
HEXFET power MOSFET as the output switch,
driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic gen-
erator of novel construction. The output switch is
controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting
diode (LED), which is optically isolated from the pho-
tovoltaic generator.
The PVY116 is ideally suited for use as matrix relay
in low voltage ATE applications and general
instrumentation applications involving high frequency
test signals. This can be accomplished thanks to the
extremely low Figure Of Merit (FOM = Coff * Ron),
which is the product of the relay鈥檚 off-state output
capacitance and on-state resistance.
The PVY116 is packaged in a 4-pin, molded small
outline package (SOP-4) with surface mount (gull
wing) terminals. It is available in plastic shipping
tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to Part
Identification information.
