These P-Channel enhancement mode power field effect

transistors are produced using Fairchild's proprietary, high cell

density, DMOS technology. This very high density process is

especially tailored to minimize on-state resistance, provide

superior switching performance, and withstand high energy

pulses in the avalanche and commutation modes. These

devices are particularly suited for low voltage applications such

as notebook computer power management and other battery

powered circuits where fast switching, low in-line power loss,

and resistance to transients are needed.
