Technology

The ALx Series uses MOSFETs for power dissipation, delivering one of the industry's widest full-power operating ranges for its product class. MOSFETs are operated in the linear region to allow full power and full control over the entire VA rating of the product. Each MOSFET device produces a load current defined by VC/Rn, with closed loop amplifiers enabling multiple MOSFETs to share load current equally.
