The BSS84 is a P-channel small signal MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) designed for use in high-speed switching applications. It is commonly used in low-voltage applications such as battery management and load switching due to its low on-state resistance and high current-carrying capability.
Key features of the BSS84 include a maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) of -50V, a continuous drain current (ID) of -0.13A, and a low on-state resistance (RDS(on)) of 3.0 ohms. Additionally, it has a low threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of -1.0V, making it suitable for low-voltage circuits.
The BSS84 is housed in a compact SOT-23 surface-mount package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. It also has a high-speed switching capability and low gate charge, making it suitable for high-frequency operations.
Overall, the BSS84 is a reliable and efficient discrete semiconductor component suitable for a variety of low-voltage switching applications
