General Description
These depletion-mode (normally-on) transistors utilize
an advanced 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 inherent 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.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Parameter Value
Drain-to-source voltage BVDSX
Drain-to-gate voltage BVDGX
Gate-to-source voltage ±20V
Operating and storage temperature -55OC to +150OC
Soldering temperature* 300OC
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.
