DESCRIPTION
The PowerMESHII is the evolution of the first
generation of MESH OVERLAY. The layout refinements introduced greatly improve the Ron*area
figure of merit while keeping the device at the leading edge for what concerns swithing speed, gate
charge and ruggedness.
APPLICATIONS
■ HIGH CURRENT, HIGHSPEED SWITCHING
■ SWITH MODE POWER SUPPLIES (SMPS)
■ DC-AC CONVERTERS FORWELDING
