DESCRIPTION
Using the latest high voltage MESH OVERLAY
process, SGS-Thomson has designed an
advanced family of power MOSFETs with
outstanding performances. The new patent
pending strip layout coupled with the Company’s
proprietary edge termination structure, gives the
lowest R
per area, exceptional avalanche
DS(on)
and dv/dt capabilities and unrivalled gate charge
and switching char acteristics.
APPLICATIONS
■ SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLIES (SMPS)
■ DC-AC CONVE RTERS FOR WELDING
