Technical Specifications:

Typical specifications for the AM20P15-295D include (refer to the official datasheet for exact values):

• Drain-Source Voltage (VDS): -20V
• Gate-Source Voltage (VGS): ±12V
• Continuous Drain Current (ID): -15A (dependent on temperature and package)
• On-State Resistance (RDS(on)): Typically less than 0.15 Ohms at VGS = -4.5V and ID = -7.5A
• Gate Charge (Qg): Specific value in nC (dependent on test conditions)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C

The AM20P15-295D is typically packaged in a surface mount package, such as a DFN3x3 or similar, for compact integration into circuit boards. Its low RDS(on) minimizes power dissipation and improves overall circuit efficiency. The logic-level gate drive capability enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers and other logic devices without the need for additional driver circuitry. Proper thermal design, including the use of heat sinks or appropriate PCB layout, is critical for reliable operation at higher currents.
