(normally-on) transistor that uses an advanced vertical
DMOS structure and a 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.
Microchip’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.
