Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended application for this device?
This N-Channel Switch is designed for low current DC and audio applications, providing excellent input stages for high impedance signal sources.
How should I calculate derating for elevated temperatures?
The total device dissipation must be derated (mW/°C) when operating above 25°C. The maximum rating is 350 mW at 25°C.
Are the Source and Drain pins interchangeable?
Yes, the manual notes that Source & Drain are interchangeable for these devices.
What are the typical Transconductance values (f=1.0 kHz)?
The typical range varies by model: PN4117 is 70-210 µmhos; PN4118 is 100-330 µmhos; and PN4119 is not specified in this section.
