Solid State Relay, ASSR Series
Evaluation Board
Data Sheet
Description
This evaluation board features Avago Technologies’
Solid State Relay (SSR) with MOSFET output, ASSR
Series, in 4 different IC package footprints. They are 8Pin DIP with Gull Wing Surface Mount, 6-Pin DIP with
Gull Wing Surface Mount, 4-Pin SO, and 4-Pin SSOP.
ASSR-xx2x Series, 2-form A (dual channel), is featured
in 8-Pin DIP with Gull Wing Surface Mount footprint
and offers 2 identical channels for evaluation. ASSRxx1x Series, 1-form A (single channel) Solid State Relays
are featured in the other 3 footprints on the evaluation
board. In total, the board can accommodate up to 5
channels.
Input
The input channels of the ASSR series are LED driven,
designated as “ANODE” and “CATHODE”.

Output
Each output pair of the ASSR Series is made up by two
MOSFET devices with equivalent output voltage rating.
The output traces from the MOSFET drains to the screw
terminals are 50ohm lines, which can withstand 6A,

Figure 1. Input Stage of the ASSR Series
They are commonly driven by TTL or buffered CMOS
logic gates. A current limiting resistor at each anode is
usually required to limit the current through the LED
to a proper value. The recommended input forward
current is between 3mA and 20 mA. Thus, if driven by
a 5V power supply, it is recommended to use a resistor
value of 680 ohm. It provides a forward current
between 5mA to 6.5mA where the temperature
variation between -40 0C to 85 0C and a 10% tolerance
of the resistor are taken into consideration.

Operation
In the schematic diagram, R1, R2 ,R5, R8 and R10 are
the current limiting resistors before the input pins. If
the LED is driven by a 5V power supply, a 680 ohm
resistor can be used. In the schematic diagram, R3 ,R4 ,
R6, R7, R9 and R11 are the load. The impedance of the
load should be sufficient enough to limit the output
current to less than the recommended maximum
output current.
When the LED is on (or power is applied to the LED),
the SSR (MOSFET) turns on, current will flow through
the load. When the LED is off (or there is no power
applied to the LED), the SSR (MOSFET) turns off, there
is no current flowing through the load.
For the operation of U2, the ASSR-xx1x-001E Series is
packaged in a 6-Pin DIP with Gull Wing Surface Mount,
but only five pins are used. Pins 1 and 2 are the anode
and the cathode of the input LED, respectively, and
Pin 3 is not connected (N.C.) internally. Pins 4, 5, and 6,
at the output side can be configured as either
Connection A or Connection B as shown in figure 3.
With Connection A as shown in figure 3a, the signal at
the output of the SSR can have either positive or
negative polarity. This means that the ASSR Series can
pass either ac or dc signals. With Connection B, the
signal at the output of the ASSR must have its polarity
as indicated in figure 3b. In this configuration, pins 4
and 6 are tied together, and the ASSR can control dc
signals only. The advantage of using Connection B is
that it places two output MOSFETs in parallel with each
other, rather than in series. This configuration reduces
