The device has a 100V drain-source breakdown voltage (BVDSS) providing sufficient headroom to support 48V telecom rails and industrial applications, while having a 5V gate voltage to simplify designs with a direct logic level interface to MCUs. An 11A peak pulse current rating also means the device can handle the in-rush current from energizing a coil, which is usually greater than five times the typical operating current of a DC motor.
The DMHC10H170SFJ is able to replace four SOT23 or two SO-8 packages, which enables compact arrays of multiple ultrasonic transducers. An example of this is 1024 transducers each needing to be individually driven with an H-bridge, providing steerable and focused beams for phased-array systems. Such systems are used in manufacturing for material flaw inspection or in marine echo location systems.
