SIHP33N60EF-GE3

The SIHP33N60EF-GE3 is a type of Field Effect Transistor (FET) that falls into the Single, Power MOSFET category. This type of transistor is designed for use in AC and DC power control applications. FETs are transistors that have an insulated gate electrode that is separated from the semiconductor material by a very thin layer of metal oxide. When a voltage is applied to the gate, it results in a change in the conductivity of the semiconductor material, allowing the FET to amplify or switch current.

The SIHP33N60EF-GE3 is a N-Channel enhancement mode MOSFET, meaning it operates in such a way that when a positive gate-source voltage (Vgs) is applied, current can flow between the source and the drain. The MOSFET also has an integrated ESD protection circuit to protect it from electrostatic damage. It is rated with a continuous drain current (Id) of 30A, a drain source voltage (Vds) of 33V, a threshold voltage (Vth) of 2.25-2.75V and a maximum temperature of 175°C.

This type of power MOSFET is perfectly suited for applications requiring higher current density and more efficient power switching. It is commonly used in motor control, switching power supplies and DC-to-DC converters. Due to its high current-handling capability and low on-state resistance, the SIHP33N60EF-GE3 is also widely used for PFC (Power Factor Correction) applications.

Another great advantage of the SIHP33N60EF-GE3 is its low gate charge (Qg). This is the amount of charge that needs to be supplied to the gate electrode in order to switch the transistor on and is an important factor in determining the power efficiency of the device. The more charge that needs to be supplied, the more power will be consumed when switching the device on and off. The low gate charge of the SIHP33N60EF-GE3 makes it particularly useful for load switching applications.

In summary, the SIHP33N60EF-GE3 is a great solution for applications where high current density and high efficiency are required. Its low gate charge reduces power consumption and its integrated ESD protection circuit gives it robust protection from electrostatic damage. This makes it ideal for use in a variety of AC and DC power control applications, from motor control to PFC.
