Lookup label: PV-DRV
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: Manufacturer

An optical component producing an isolated photovoltaic output used to drive a MOSFET gate circuit.

## What it represents

An optical component producing an isolated photovoltaic output used to drive a MOSFET gate circuit.
On a schematic, identify the LED input, photovoltaic output polarity and gate-discharge arrangement and trace the isolated MOSFET switching circuit. Keep the component tag and signal/reference names consistent across the control drawing, terminal schedule and device documentation.
The photovoltaic output drives a gate circuit; this component is distinct from a solar-generator power connection.
The preview is an independently drawn educational functional reference. Add the selected component’s actual power pins, terminal numbers, timing or analogue reference details when producing a construction drawing.

## How to read it

- Identify the LED input, photovoltaic output polarity and gate-discharge arrangement.
- Trace the isolated MOSFET switching circuit.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the LED input, photovoltaic output polarity and gate-discharge arrangement.
- Cross-reference the isolated MOSFET switching circuit.
- Add the selected device or circuit documentation revision, power/reference connections and project signal convention.

## Important distinction

The photovoltaic output drives a gate circuit; this component is distinct from a solar-generator power connection.
