VNP10N06 - FULLY AUTOPROTECTED POWER MOSFET

The VNP10N06 is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower Technology, intended for replacement of standard power MOSFETS in DC to 50 KHz applications.

Built-in thermal shut-down, linear current limitation and overvoltage clamp protect the chip n harsh enviroments.

• During Normal Operation, the INPUT pin is electrically connected to the gate of the internal power MOSFET through a low impedance path as soon as VIN > VIH. The device then behaves like a standard power MOSFET and can be used as a switch from DC to 50KHz. The only difference from the user’s standpoint is that a small DC current (typically 150 µA) flows into the INPUT pin in order to supply the internal circuitry. During turn-off of an unclamped inductive load the output voltage is clamped to a s.
