In application, this means the conduction and switching losses are reduced, and overall the circuit will operate at a higher efficiency with a reduced operating temperature. In addition, the DIOFET is an avalanche rugged process and the devices have a low gate capacitance ratio to reduce the risk of shoot-through currents.

The DIOFET is well suited for Point of Load (PoL) DC-DC converters usedin computing, telecoms and industrial applications including:

• Laptops, Netbooks and Notebooks
• Set-top boxes
• Servers and Desktop Computers
• Telecom Equipment
