Supertex TP2520 P-Channel Enhancement Mode Vertical DMOS FET Datasheet
The document describes the TP2520 as a low threshold enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistor utilizing a vertical DMOS structure. It combines the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors with the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices, making it free from thermal runaway.
Key features include a maximum threshold voltage of -2.4V, low input capacitance up to 125pF, fast switching speeds, and low ON-resistance. The device is available in TO-243AA (SOT-89) packages with RoHS compliance options.
