HEXFET TRANSISTOR
N-CHANNEL
200Volt, 0.40 Ω, HEXFET
The Logic Level ‘L’ series of power MOSFETs are
designed to be operated with level logic gate-tosource voltage of 5V. In addition to the well established characteristics of HEXFETs, they have
the added advantage of providing low drive requirements to interface power loads to logic level
IC’s and microprocessors.
Fields of application include: high speed power
applications such as switching regulators, switching converters, motor drivers, solenoid and relay drivers.

The HEXFET technology is the key to International
Rectifier ’s advance line of logic level power
MOSFET transistors. The efficient geometry and
unique processing of the HEXFET achieve very
low on-state resistance combine with high
transconductance.
