General Description
The Supertex TN2425 is a low threshold enhancement-
mode (normally-off) transistor that utilizes a vertical
DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate
manufacturing process. This combination produces a device
with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors,
and the high input impedance and positive temperature
coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all
MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway
and thermally-induced secondary breakdown.
Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a
wide range of switching and amplifying applications where
very low threshold voltage, high breakdown voltage, high
input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast switching
speeds are desired.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device
may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied. Continuous
operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect device reliability. All
voltages are referenced to device ground.
