DESCRIPTION
Using the latest high voltageMESH 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 RDS(on) per area, exceptional avalanche
and dv/dt capabilities and unrivalled gate charge
and switchingcharacteristics.
APPLICATIONS
■ HIGH CURRENT, HIGH SPEED SWITCHING
■ SWITCHMODEPOWER SUPPLIES(SMPS)
■ DC-ACCONVERTERS FOR WELDING
