Fairchild FDG6318P Dual P-Channel Digital FET Datasheet
The Fairchild FDG6318P is a dual P-Channel logic level enhancement mode MOSFET produced using the PowerTrench process. It is specifically designed for low voltage applications as a replacement for bipolar digital transistors and small signal MOSFETs, featuring very low gate drive requirements allowing direct operation in 3V circuits.
The device is available in a compact industry standard SC70-6 surface mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum continuous drain current of -0.5 A, a maximum drain-source voltage of -20 V, and a maximum power dissipation of 0.3 W for single operation. The pinouts are symmetrical, with pin 1 and pin 4 being interchangeable.
