Ultra-small P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFETs are simple to drive

Advanced Power Electronics, a leading Taiwanese manufacturer of MOS power semiconductors and ICs for DC-DC power conversion applications, has launched a new P-channel Enhancement-mode Power MOSFET, the AP2325GEU6-HF-3, which is well-suited for use in applications such as load switches. Combining fast switching, low on-resistance and cost-effectiveness, the AP2325GEU6-HF-3 is simple to use and has a low gate charge. It features a minimum Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage (BVDSS) of -20V, maximum RDS(ON) of 145mohms, and a maximum Continuous Drain Current (ID) at 25degC of -1.8A. According to Ralph Waggitt, President/CEO, Advanced Power Electronics, "these Advanced Power MOSFETs are available in the popular RoHS/REACH-compliant, halogen-free SOT-363 ultra-small surface-mount package which is widely used in commercial and industrial applications where a small board footprint is required."
