The VP0550 is a P-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 TO-92 case, measuring up to 6.10 mm in length and 2.05 mm in body width. The device has a drain-to-source breakdown voltage of -500 V, a maximum continuous drain current of -54 mA, and a maximum drain-to-source on-state resistance of 125 Ω at -10 V gate-source voltage. It features an integral source-drain diode with a forward voltage drop of -0.8 V to -1.5 V and typical thermal resistance of 132 °C/W. The part is RoHS compliant and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
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.
