of rated voltage, with V GS = 0. This measurement is made in the same manner as BVDSS, except that: 1. The mode switch is set to “leakage”. 2. Connect the device using the left/right switch and adjust the collector supply voltage to the rated voltage of the Power MOSFET (200 V for the IRF630). Read the value of IDSS from the display (see ...
