Microchip Technology LND01
The LND01 is a low-threshold, Depletion-mode (normally-on) transistor that uses an advanced lateral DMOS structure and a well-proven silicon gate manufacturing process. This combination produces a device with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors as well as the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices. The body of the transistor is connected to the gate pin.FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally induced secondary breakdown. The channel is therefore being pinched off by both the gate and body
