GS

= 10 V  
Low gate charge ( typical 35 nC)  
Low Crss ( typical
 
12pF)  
Fast switching  
100% avalanche tested  
Improved dv/dt capability  
These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect  
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary, planar  
stripe, DMOS technology.  
This advanced technology has been especially tailored to  
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching  
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the avalanche  
and commutation mode. These devices are well suited for high  
efficient switched mode power supplies, active power factor  
correction, electronic lamp ballast based on half bridge  
topology.
