Data Sheet June 1999
12A, 80V and 100V, 0.300 Ohm, P-Channel
Power MOSFETs
The RFP12P08, and RFP12P10 are P-Channel
enhancement mode silicon gate powerfieldeffecttransistors
designed for applications such as switching regulators,
switchingconvertors, motor drivers, relaydrivers,anddrivers
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 TA17511.
