Are these mosfets interesting?

They're designed purely for switching but have a pretty modest Vt, which should make some here quite happy. Not sure how they behave in linear applications, but obviously their eye watering current capabilities are going to be markedly reduced. Also can't remember how their parasitic capacitances sit in comparison with competitors options.

Long story short: don't know!
 
If you're looking for new power transistors and are perhaps willing to step back a little bit from a "Pass-traditional" level of bias, they might work just a treat. We don't know their linear properties.

And yes, of course you can parallel them with all the caveats of paralleling output transistors.
 
Yep, that's what I've been meaning in terms of "linear properties", i.e. not using them as a switch. :) Since TI is selling these chips for switching, they didn't publish those curves. Will require some enterprising individual to publish those for us to use.
