A simple, reliable alternative to replacing solid-state relays (SSRs) or electromechanical relays (EMRs) when combined with an external, low-cost FET. Si875x devices combine robust CMOS isolation technology with a FET driver to form a complete, isolated switch. The self-contained device generates its own gate drive output voltage, reducing cost, size, and complexity. Si875x devices eliminate the need for bulky mechanical relays and allow self-selection for FET switches, so the design can be completely optimized for the application’s power, cost, and performance requirements.
