An improved semiconductor AC switch is described having internal bias generation for the power MOSFET switches and isolated control input. Dual power MOSFETS with substrate diodes are connected in series between source and load. DC gate bias for the MOSFETS is derived from an internal power supply containing energy storage which charges from the line, typically every half cycle. The gates of the power MOSFETS are tied to the internal bias generator through a voltage divider network containing a variable resistance controlled by an optical input signal. The internal energy storage may be a capacitor or solid state battery, preferably a monolithic thick or thin film battery. No transformers or external control bias generators are required and the resulting switch is particularly simple and compact.
