General Description
The Photovoltaic DC Relay (PVD) is a single-pole, normally open solid state replacement for electro
mechanical relays used for general purpose switch ing of analog signals. It utilizes as an output switch a
unique bidirectional (AC or DC) MOSFET power IC termed a BOSFET. The BOSFET is controlled by a
photovoltaic generator of novel construction, which is energized by radiation from a dielectrically iso
lated light emitting diode (LED).
