Description
This HEXFET® Power MOSFET is specifically designed for Sustain; Energy Recovery & Pass switch
applications in Plasma Display Panels. This MOSFET utilizes the latest processing techniques to achieve
low on-resistance per silicon area and low EPULSE rating. Additional features of this MOSFET are 175°C
operating junction temperature and high repetitive peak current capability. These features combine to
make this MOSFET a highly efficient, robust and reliable device for PDP driving applications.
