DESCRIPTION
This new series of low charge Power MOSFETs achieve
significantly lower gate charge then conventional Power
MOSFETs. Utilizing the new LCDMOS (low charge device
Power MOSFETs) technology, the device improvements are
achieved without added product cost, allowing for reduced
gate drive requirements and total system savings. In
addition, reduced switching losses and improved efficiency
are achievable in a variety of high frequency applications.
Frequencies of a few MHz at high current are possible using
the new low charge Power MOSFETs.
These device improvements combined with the proven
ruggedness and reliability that characterize Power
MOSFETs offer the designer a new power transistor
standard for switching applications.
