TP0610T

Advanced DMOS Technology

These enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistors utilize a

vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate

manufacturing process. This combination produces devices with

the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors and with the

high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inher-

ent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures, these

devices are 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 high breakdown

voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast

switching speeds are desired.

Note: See Package Outline section for dimensions.
