IRF730B/IRFS730B
400V N-Channel MOSFET

General Description Features

These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect • 5.5A, 400V, RDS(on) = 1.0Ω @VGS = 10 V
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary, • Low gate charge ( typical 25 nC)
planar, DMOS technology. • Low Crss ( typical 20 pF)
This advanced technology has been especially tailored to • Fast switching
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching • 100% avalanche tested
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the • Improved dv/dt capability
avalanche and commutation mode. These devices are well
suited for high efficiency switch mode power supplies and
electronic lamp ballasts based on half bridge.
