RTF015N03TL Discrete Semiconductor Products

The RTF015N03TL is a single insulated gate field-effect transistor (IGFET). An IGFET is a three-terminal device with a source, gate, and drain. It is used to control the flow of electrons from a source to a drain. This device is an n-channel power MOSFET, a type of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). N-channel MOSFETs are used for a range of applications, including power supplies, DC-DC converters, potting, audio amplifiers, and automotive power management.

The RTF015N03TL features a gate corrosion protection system that significantly increases immunity against corrosion and chemical deposits on the gate of the device. It also features an ultra low on-resistance capability and a low profile surface mountable package that makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. The device has a maximum drain to source voltage rating of 30V, a drain current of 15A, and a maximum continuous power dissipation of 150W.

The heart of the RTF015N03TL is its symmetrical construction, which allows it to be used in both enhancement and depletion mode applications. In its enhancement mode, the gate voltage must be increased above the source voltage in order to turn the device on. Conversely, in depletion mode, the gate voltage must be decreased below the source voltage in order to turn the device off. This device is capable of handling a wide range of power levels and switching frequencies, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

When operating in enhanced mode, the RTF015N03TL is able to handle power levels ranging up to 30V, with a maximum drain current of 15A. The device requires a gate voltage of 10V or higher to reach its rated maximum drain current. When operating in depletion mode, the device requires a gate voltage of 5V or less to reach its rated maximum drain current. In either mode, the device is able to switch frequencies up to 500 kHz, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

The RTF015N03TL is an ideal choice for a range of applications, including DC motor control, stepper motor control, power supplies, DC-DC converters, audio amplifiers, and automotive power management. Its symmetrical construction allows it to be used in either enhancement or depletion mode, making it ideal for applications that require higher power levels and/or higher switching frequencies. Its low gate corrosion protection system makes it resistant to corrosion and allows it to be used in harsh environments. Additionally, its low profile surface mountable package makes it suitable for space-constrained applications.
