IRL540NS/L

PD -91535

Fifth Generation HEXFETs from International Rectifier

utilize advanced processing techniques to achieve

extremely low

on-resistance per silicon area.

This

benefit, combined with the fast switching speed and

ruggedized device design that HEXFET Power MOSFETs

are well known for, provides the designer with an extremely

efficient and reliable device for use in a wide variety of

applications.

accommodating die sizes up to HEX-4. It provides the

highest power capability and the lowest possible on-

resistance in any existing surface mount package. The

its low internal connection resistance and can dissipate up

to 2.0W in a typical surface mount application.

The through-hole version (IRF540NL) is available for low-

profile applications.
