General Description
The Supertex VN2222NC is an enhancement-mode (normally-
off) transistor array consisting of four N-channel MOSFETs in a
20-Lead ceramic side-brazed DIP package. These transistors
utilize a vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-
proven silicon-gate manufacturing process. This combination
produces a device with the power handling capabilities of
bipolar transistors, and the high input impedance and positive
temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic
of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway
and thermally-induced secondary breakdown.
Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide
range of switching and amplifying applications where very
low threshold voltage, high breakdown voltage, high input
impedance, low input capacitance, and fast switching speeds
are desired.
