IXYS Power MOSFET Datasheet Parameters Definition
Abdus Sattar, IXYS Corporation
IXAN0065
IXYS provides datasheets with parameters that are essential and useful for selecting the appropriate device as well as for predetecting its performance in an application. The graphs included in the datasheet represent typical performance characteristic and can be used to extrapolate from one set of operating conditions to another. Power MOSFET generally contains a body diode, which provides “free wheeling” operation in the inductive load switching. Figure 1 shows the equivalent circuit for an N-Channel and a P-Channel Power MOSFET.
