V (BR)DSS (sometimes called BVDSS) is the drain-source voltage at which no more than the specified drain current will flow at the specified temperature and with zero gate-source voltage. This tracks ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. TYPICAL HIGH-SIDE, n-channel, hot-swap “soft-switch” systems use a charge pump to drive the gate of an external MOSFET ...

The source voltage of a P-channel device is stationary when the device operates as an HS switch. Conversely, the source voltage of an N-channel device used as an HS switch varies between the low side ...
