The VN2224 is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET designed for switching and amplifying applications requiring high breakdown voltage, low input capacitance, and fast switching speeds. It is packaged in a 3-lead TO-92 case and features an integral source-drain diode. The device has a drain-to-source breakdown voltage of 240 V, a static drain-to-source on-state resistance of up to 1.25 Ω at 10 V gate voltage and 2 A drain current, and a continuous drain current rating of 5 A. It operates with an ambient temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and has a thermal resistance of 132 °C/W. The part meets RoHS compliance and is free from thermal runaway and secondary breakdown.
This enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistor utilizes a vertical DMOS structure and well-proven, silicon-gate manufacturing process. This combination produces a device with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors and the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally-induced secondary breakdown. Vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide range of switching and amplifying applications where very low threshold voltage, high breakdown voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast switching speeds are desired.
