DESCRIPTION
This application speci fic Power MOSFET is the second
generation of STMicro electronis 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 be st perfor manc e in terms of both
conduction and switching losses. This is extremely
important for motherboards where fast switching and
high efficiency are of paramount importance.
