Description

This Power Mosfet is the latest development of SGS-THOMSON unique “Single Feature SizeÔ” strip-based process. The resulting transistor shows extremely high packing density for low onresistance, rugged avalance characteristics and less critical alignment steps therefore a remarkable manufacturing reproducibility. An N-channel, 60V MOSFET refers to a specific type of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) that has an N-channel as the conducting channel and can handle a maximum voltage of 60 volts.

N-channel MOSFETs are commonly used in electronic circuits for various applications, such as power supplies, motor control, lighting control, and audio amplification. They offer advantages like fast switching speeds, low on-resistance (RDS(on)), and low gate drive requirements.

Applications:

1. HIGH CURRENT, HIGH SPEED SWITCHING
2. SOLENOID AND RELAY DRIVERS
3. MOTOR CONTROL, AUDIO AMPLIFIERS
4. DC-DC & DC-AC CONVERTERS

Features:

1. TYPICAL RDS(on) = 0.032 W
2. EXCEPTIONAL dv/dt CAPABILITY
3. 100% AVALANCHE TESTED
4. LOW GATE CHARGE 100 oC
5. APPLICATION ORIENTED CHARACTERIZATION
