TN2524

General Description

This

low

threshold,

enhancement-mode

(normally-off)

transistor 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 the high input impedance

and positive temperature coefficient 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

impedance, low input capacitance, and fast switching speeds

are desired.

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.
