HEXFET® MOSFET technology is the key to IR Hirel advanced
line of power MOSFET transistors. The efficient geometry design
achieves very low on-state resistance combined with high
transconductance. HEXFET transistors also feature all of the
well-established advantages of MOSFETs, such as voltage
control, very fast switching and electrical parameter temperature
stability. They are well-suited for applications such as switching
power supplies, motor controls, inverters, choppers, audio
amplifiers, high energy pulse circuits, and virtually any
application where high reliability is required. The HEXFET
transistor’s totally isolated package eliminates the need for
additional isolating material between the device and the
heatsink. This improves thermal efficiency and reduces drain
capacitance.
