General Description
The Supertex DN2535 and DN2540 are low threshold depletion-
mode (normally-on) transistors utilizing an advanced vertical
DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate
manufacturing process. This combination produces devices
with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors
and with the high input impedance and positive temperature
coeffi cient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS
structures, these devices are 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
high breakdown voltage, high input impedance, low input
capacitance, and fast switching speeds are desired.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Parameter Value
Drain-to-source voltage BVDSX
Drain-to-gate voltage BVDGX
Gate-to-source voltage ±20V
Operating and storage
temperature -55OC to +150OC
Soldering temperature* 300OC
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device
may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied. Continuous
operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect device reliability. All
voltages are referenced to device ground.
