• Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• DC-DC converters
• Lighting ballasts

Features:

• N-Channel MOSFET
• 500V Drain-Source Voltage (VDS)
• 3.3A Continuous Drain Current (ID)
• Low gate charge (Qg)
• Low drain-source on-resistance (RDS(on))
• Fast switching speed
• High ruggedness
• Avalanche energy rated

Benefits:

• High efficiency in power conversion due to minimized conduction and switching losses
