Specifications
The AP4563GM typically features a drain-source voltage (VDS) rating appropriate for a range of power supply voltages. The continuous drain current (ID) rating is sufficient for moderate to high current applications. The on-resistance (RDS(on)) is a critical parameter, specified at a particular gate-source voltage (VGS). The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) indicates the voltage required to turn the MOSFET on. It comes in a SOP-8 package. Refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics and thermal performance data.
