4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Photovoltaic panel dedicated driver"

What is a photovoltaic driver?

The photovoltaic driver is a device that is combined with high voltage MOSFETs to form a solid-state relay. The photovoltaic driver can be configured with a single MOSFET or two MOSFETS (back-to-back) for bidirectional application. Pin 5 is connected to the Gate, and Pin 7 is connected to the Source.

What are photovoltaic MOSFET drivers?

Photovoltaic MOSFET drivers provide a galvanic separation between control circuits and the power output semiconductors. The new high power type APV3111GVY can even directly switch MOSFETs with a very low ON resistance, thanks to an output voltage of 18V, which saves additional amplifier parts on the PCB.

What is the acpl-k308u photovoltaic driver?

The Broadcom® industrial ACPL-K308U photovoltaic driver is designed to drive high voltage MOSFETs. It consists of an AlGaAs infrared light-emitting diode (LED) input stage optically coupled to an output detector circuit. The detector consists of a high-speed photovoltaic diode array and a turn-off circuit.

What happens when a photovoltaic driver is turned off?

The photovoltaic driver has a built in turn-off circuit, which decreases the turn-off time. This circuit instantaneously discharges the gate capacitance of MOSFETs when the photovoltaic driver is turned off. The turn-off circuit is activated when the photovoltaic voltage is collapsing. Q1 and Q2 are saturated.
