Description
These are N-Channel enhancement mode silicon gate
power field effect transistors. They are advanced power
MOSFETs designed, tested, and guaranteed to withstand a
specified level of energy in the breakdown avalanche mode
of operation. All of these power MOSFETs are 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 TA17405.
