Data Sheet October 1999
-10A, -150V, 0.500 Ohm, P-Channel Power
MOSFET
This P-Channel enhancement mode silicon gate power field
effect transistor is designed for applications such as
switching regulators, switching convertors, motor drivers,
relay drivers, and drivers for high power bipolar switching
transistors requiring high speed and low gate drive power.
These types can be operated directly from integrated
circuits.
Formerly developmental type TA9404.
