FDA215
MOSFET Driver
Description
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 will activate
the photodiode array and generate a voltage at the
output. The photodiode arrays are capable of gener-
ating a floating source voltage and current sufficient
to drive high power MOSFET transistors. The optical
coupling provides a high level of input to output isola-
tion. The FDA215 is well suited for use in discrete
solid state relay designs and other isolated switching
applications.
