50V N-Channel MOSFET AF15N50
Data Sheet
General Description
This N-Channel MOSFET has been designed
specifically to improve the overall efficiency and to
minimize switch node ringing of DC-DC converters
using either synchronous or conventional switching
PWM controllers. It has been optimized for low gate
charge, low R
diode reverse recovery performance.
The AF15N50 is available in PDFN-5×6-8 package.
