AO4437 P-Channel Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistor General Description Features The AO4437 uses advanced trench technology to provide excellent RDS(ON), low gate charge and operation with gate voltages as low as 1.8V. This device is suitable for use as a load switch or in PWM applications. It is ESD protected. Standard Product AO4437 is Pb-free (meets ROHS & Sony 259 specifications). AO4437L is a Green Product ordering option. AO4437 and AO4437L are electrically identical.

Copper, in a still air environment with TA =25°C. The value in any given application depends on the user's specific board design. The current rating is based on the t ≤ 10s thermal resistance rating. B: Repetitive rating, pulse width limited by junction temperature. C. The R θJA is the sum of the thermal impedence from junction to lead RθJL and lead to ambient. D. The static characteristics in Figures 1 to 6,12,14 are obtained using 80 µs pulses, duty cycle 0.5% max. E. These tests are performed with the device mounted on 1 in 2 FR-4 board with 2oz. Copper, in a still air environment with TA=25°C. The SOA curve provides a single pulse rating. Rev2: August 2005 THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND QUALIFIED FOR THE CONSUMER MARKET.
