DESCRIPTION
Using the latest high voltage MESH
OVERLAYprocess, SGS-Thomson has
designed an advanced family of Power
MOSFETs with outstanding performance. The
new patent pending strip layout coupled with the
Company’s proprietary edge termination
structure, gives the lowest RDS(on) per area,
exceptional avalanche and dv/dt capabilitiesand
unrivalled gate charge and switching
characteristics.
