25 MHz = 1 / 40 ns

How fast you can make a MOSFET switch depends on how fast you can charge/discharge its gate. Assuming that your gate driving circuit is fast enough, choose a device with a small gate capacitance, e.g., the CSD15380F3.

Discrete transistors are designed for larger loads. For small loads at low voltages, it might make sense to use a logic gate like the SN74AUC1G07 or an analog switch like the SN74AUC1G66.

Hello Ward,

Thanks for your interest in TI FETs. Most of our power MOSFETs are optimized for switching in the kHz to low MHz frequencies. Some of our smaller FemtoFET and other similar devices have been used in applications switching up to 80MHz driving VCSEL lasers. What are the voltage and current requirements for your application? How are you driving the MOSFET gate and what is the gate drive voltage?

Best Regards,

John Wallace

Small Vgs voltage 1.5 and Vds voltage 2.5, I gate gets a really narrow pulse and at a frequency of 25 MHz

CSD15380F3 no have legs (BGA) is not good.

Hi Ward,

are your leds that fast?

Hi Ward,

TI has no N-channel FETs with on resistance specified at VGS = 1.5V. We have a few devices rated down to VGS = 1.8V and all of those are in chip scale packages similar to the CSD15380F3. The only leaded devices are in TO220 packages and those FETs are optimized for high current/mid-voltage switching up to a few hundred kHz. I am going to close this thread and we can continue this discussion via private message.

Thanks,

John
