The SuperMESH™ series is obtained through an
extreme optimization of ST’s well established stripbased PowerMESH™ layout. In addition to pushing
on-resistance significantly down, special careis taken to ensure a very good dv/dt capability for the
most demanding applicat ions. Such series complements S T full range of high voltage MOSFETs including revolutionary MDm es h™ products.

PROTECTION FEATURES OF GATE-TO-SOURCE ZENER DIODES
The built-in back-to-back Zener diodes have specifically been designed to enhance not only the device’s
ESD c apability, but also to make them sa fely absorb pos sible voltage transients that may occasionally be
applied from gate to source. In this respect the Zener voltage is appropriate to achie ve an efficient and
cost-effective intervention to protect the device’s integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid t he
usage of external components.
