VP5225

      The VP5225 is a P-Channel Enhancement-Mode Vertical DMOS FET designed for Medical Ultrasound imaging;Non-destructive evaluation;Solid state relays;Telecom switches;Logic level interfaces---ideal for TTL and CMOS.The VP5225has the following features including  Low threshold (-2.4V max.);High input impedance;Low input capacitance;Fast switching speeds;Low on-resistance;Free from secondary breakdown;Low input and output leakage.
      This low threshold, enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistor of VP5225 utilizes a vertical DMOS structure and Supertex's 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. Supertex's vertical DMOS FETs are 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. 
      Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the  VP5225device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the VP5225 device at these or any other condition s above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
