Description
This HEXFET® Power MOSFET utilizes the latest
S
ID = 36A
processing techniques to achieve extremely low
on-resistance per silicon area. Additional features
of this design are a 175°C junction operating
temperature, fast switching speed and improved
repetitive avalanche rating.These features
combine to make this design an extremely efficient
and reliable device for use in a wide variety of
applications.
