This application specific Power MOSFET is the
third generation of STMicroelectronics unique
“single feature size” strip-based process. The
resulting transistor shows the best trade-off
between on-resistance and gate charge. When
used as high and low side in buck regulators, it
gives the best performance in terms of both
conduction and switching losses. This is
extremely important for motherboards where fast
switching and high efficiency are of paramount
importance.

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in ECOPACK®
packages. These packages have a Lead-free second level interconnect. The category of
second level interconnect is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in
compliance with JEDEC Standard JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering
conditions are also marked on the inner box label. ECOPACK is an ST trademark.
ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com
