ABSTRACT:
A circuit with a small package for MOSFETs comprises a load circuit in which an a.c. current flows. Further included are a p-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET and an n-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET, the sources of which are connected together at a common node through which the a.c. current flows. The MOSFETs respectively provide positive-going and negative-going contributions to the a.c. current, with approximately equal r.m.s. values. A package is provided in which the MOSFETs are arranged adjacent to each other, in the same plane. A main surface of the package has an area of no more than about 40.5 square millimeters. The channel area of the p-channel MOSFET is from about 1.4 to about 2.0 times the channel area of the n-channel MOSFET.
