This combination produces a • Fast Switching Speeds device with the power handling capabilities of bipolar • High Input Impedance and High Gain transistors as well as the high input impedance and • Low Power Drive Requirement positive temperature coefficient inherent in • Ease of Paralleling MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally Applications induced secondary breakdown. The body of the transistor is connected to the gate pin. • Normally-on Switches The channel is therefore being pinched off by both the • Solid-state Relays gate and body. The gate pin has a diode connected to • Converters the drain terminal and another diode connected to the • Constant Current Sources source terminal. • Analog Switches Package Type5-lead SOT-23DRAINSOURCEN/CGATEN/C See Table 2-1 for pin information. 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
