International Rectifier has introduced the world's first 1000V radiation-hardened power MOSFET.
The PVG612A is a single-pole, normally open solid-state relay.
It uses an integrated circuit photovoltaic generator and IR HEXFET power MOSFET transistors as the output switch.
The switch is controlled by radiation from a light-emitting diode that is optically isolated from the generator.
The PVG612A is rated at 60V, with 3A AC or 6A DC maximum load current, and features an input drive of 5mA, making the new PVG612A fully TTL-compatible.
The device is offered in through-hole, surface mount and tape and reel package options.
