While p-channel MOSFETs for active clamps offer a simpler
alternative to n-channel clamp implementations, until now the majority
of devices suitable for this application were available only in larger
packages such as the SO-8 and DPAK. With the new devices in the SOT-23
and SC-70, Siliconix brings together small size and on-resistance
values at least 80% better than the nearest competing devices. The
-150-V Si7439DP offers on-resistance of 0.
