OptiMOSTM Linear FET offers a faster switching response compared to a standard MOSFET. It also provides lower transconductance, which helps with equal current sharing when two or more Linear FETs are operating in parallel. This helps limit the peak currents and improves the lifetime of bulk capacitors and battery packs.

Discrete power semiconductors like MOSFETs or IGBTs are operated with high voltages. These products as well as the applications/equipments in which they are used need to comply with safety and isolation requirements, which are defined in safety standards.

This document should gives guidance on how to use the Dual Gate MOSFET for short circuit clamping and capacitor charging in disconnect switch applications. This will also be explained based on available evaluation boards and measurements.
