VN0550
N-Channel Enhancement-Mode Vertical DMOS FET
Features
General Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The VN0550 Enhancement-mode (normally-off)
transistor uses a vertical DMOS structure and a
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.
Free from Secondary Breakdown
Low Power Drive Requirement
Ease of Paralleling
Low CISS and Fast Switching Speeds
Excellent Thermal Stability
Integral Source-Drain Diode
High Input Impedance and High Gain
Applications
•
•
•
•
•
•
Microchip’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.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
