General Description
The VP2450 is a low-threshold, Enhancement-mode
(normally-off) transistor that utilizes a vertical
Double-diffused Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (DMOS)
structure and a 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
coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of
all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal
runaway and thermally induced secondary breakdown.
This Vertical DMOS Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is
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.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
