2N6790
3.5A, 200V, 0.800 Ohm, N-Channel Power
MOSFET
The 2N6790 is an N-Channel enhancement mode silicon
gate power MOS field effect transistor designed for
applications such as switching regulators, switching
converters, motor drivers, relay drivers, and drivers for high
power bipolar switching transistors requiring high speed and
low gate drive power. This device can be operated directly
from an integrated circuit.
