NDS8434A
Single P-Channel Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistor
General Description Features
March 1997
SO-8 P-Channel enhancement mode power field effect
transistors are produced using Fairchild's proprietary, high cell
density, DMOS technology. This very high density process is
especially tailored to minimize on-state resistance and provide
superior switching performance. These devices are particularly
suited for low voltage applications such as notebook computer
-7.8 A, -20 V. R

High power and current handling capability in a widely used
surface mount package.
power management and other battery powered circuits where
fast switching, low in-line power loss, and resistance to
transients are needed.
