Fast switching speed.
Low gate charge (2.1nC typical).
High performance trench technology for extremely low
R
DS(ON)
.
High power and current handling capability.
These N-Channel Logic Level MOSFETs are
produced using Fairchild Semiconductor's
advanced PowerTrench process that has been
especially tailored to minimize the on-state
resistance and yet maintain superior switching
performance.
These devices are well suited for low voltage
and battery powered applications where low
in-line power loss and fast switching
are
required.
