isolation. The output, constructed with efficient
MOSFET switches and photovoltaic die, uses Clare’s
patented OptoMOS® architecture while the input, a
highly efficient GaAlAs infrared LED, provides the
optically coupled control. The combination of low
on-resistance and high load current handling
capability makes this relay suitable for a variety of high
performance switching applications.
