General Description
This low threshold enhancement-mode (normally-off) transis-
tor utilizes 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 with the high input impedance and
positive temperature coeffi cient 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 im-
pedance, low input capacitance, and fast switching speeds
are desired.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Parameter Value
Drain-to-source voltage BVDSS
Drain-to-gate voltage BVDGS
Gate-to-source voltage ±20V
Operating and storage temperature -55OC to +150OC
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.
