General Description
The Supertex VP0104 is an enhancement-mode (normally-
off) transistor that utilizes a vertical DMOS structure and
Supertex’s 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 coefcient inherent in MOS devices.
Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from
thermal runaway and thermally-induced secondary breakdown.
Supertex’s 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.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Parameter Value
Drain-to-source voltage BVDSS
Drain-to-gate voltage BVDGS
Gate-to-source voltage ±20V
Operating and storage temperature -55°C to +150°C
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the
device may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.
Continuous operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect
device reliability. All voltages are referenced to device ground.
