PhotoMOS® Photovoltaic MOSFET High-Power Drivers

Panasonic's photovoltaic MOSFET high-power drivers are available in a small package size (SSOP) with higher short circuit current and drop-out voltage to the MOSFET's gate. These drivers can drive high VGS MOSFETs, such as SiC MOSFETs, and are capable of high switching capacities at high switching speeds.

PhotoMOS relays can sometimes be used in applications where traditional electromechanical relays are already being used. Replacing a standard electromechanical relay with PhotoMOS can provide additional benefits such as a longer life cycle, better resistance to shock and vibration, low on-resistance, and a theoretically infinite life cycle. This makes PhotoMOS relays a very good solution for battery monitoring systems, test and measurement, electrical power, and industrial markets.

Some common applications for PhotoMOS relays are in the measurement markets, security equipment, fire prevention systems, and industrial machines.
