IRF820B/IRFS820B
500V N-Channel MOSFET
IRF820B/IRFS820B
November 2001
General Description
These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary,
planar, DMOS technology.
This advanced technology has been especially tailored to
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the
avalanche and commutation mode. These devices are well
Features
• 2.5A, 500V, R
• Low gate charge ( typical 14 nC)
• Low Crss ( typical 10 pF)
• Fast switching
• 100% avalanche tested
• Improved dv/dt capability
= 2.6Ω @VGS = 10 V
DS(on)
suited for high efficiency switch mode power supplies,
power factor correction and electronic lamp ballasts based
on half bridge.
