PROTECTION FEATURES OF GATE-TO-SOURCE ZENER DIODES

The built-in back-to-back Zener diodes have specifically been designed to enhance not only the device’s

ESD capability, but also to make them safely absorb possible voltage transients that may occasionally

be applied from gate to souce. In this respect the 25V Zener voltage is appropiate to achieve an efficient

and cost-effective intervention to protect the device’s integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid

the usage of external components.
