Description
The RFV10N50BE is an N-Channel fast switching MOSFET transis-
tor that is designed for switching regulators, inverters and motor driv-
ers. The RFV10N50BE is a monolithic structure incorporating a high
voltage, high current MOSFET, a control MOSFET and ESD protec-
tion diodes. As indicated in the symbol to the right, the turn-on of the
main MOSFET is controlled by Gate 1 (G
1
). The control MOSFET,
controlled by Gate 2 (G
2
), is distributed throughout the structure. Gate
2 provides a very low impedance and inductive path to rapidly dis-
charge the gate of the main MOSFET. Gate 2 affords very fast turn-off
(typically less than 25ns) when desired. A separate return connection,
Source Kelvin (S
K
), is supplied for the gate drive circuit to avoid volt-
age induced transients from the output circuit during switching. The
RFV10N50BE can be operated directly from integrated circuits.
Formerly developmental type TA9881.
