FQA46N15 / FQA46N15_F109
150V N-Channel MOSFET
Features
50A, 150V, RDS(on) = 0.042 @VGS = 10 V
Low gate charge ( typical 85 nC)
Low Crss ( typical 100pF)
•Fast switching
100% avalanche tested
Improved dv/dt capability
175°C maximum junction temperature rating
Description
These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary, planar
stripe, DMOS technology.
This advanced technology has been especially tailored to
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the avalanche
and commutation mode. These devices are well suited for high
efficient switched mode power supplies, active power factor
correction, electronic lamp ballast based on half bridge
topology.
