Fifth Generation HEXFETs from International Rectifier utilize
advanced processing techniques to achieve extremely low
on-resistance per silicon area. This benefit, combined with
the fast switching speed and ruggedized device design that
HEXFET Power MOSFETs are well known for, provides the
designer with an extremely efficient and reliable device for
use in a wide variety of applications.
The D2Pak is a surface mount power package capable of
accommodating die sizes up to HEX-4. It provides the highest
power capability and the lowest possible on-resistance in
any existing surface mount package. The D2Pak is suitable
for high current applications because of its low internal
connection resistance and can dissipate up to 2.0W in a
typical surface mount application.
The through-hole version (IRF9520L) is available for low-
profile applications.
