Advanced DMOS Technology
These low threshold depletion-mode (normally-on) transistors
utilize an advanced vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s
well-proven silicon-gate manufacturing process. This combination produces devices with the power handling capabilities of
bipolar transistors and with the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures, these devices are free from thermal
runaway and thermally-induced secondary breakdown.
Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide range
of switching and amplifying applications where high breakdown
voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast
switching speeds are desired.
