DESCRIPTION
The SuperMESH™ series is obtained through an	INTERNAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
extreme optimization of ST’s well established strip-
based PowerMESH™ layout. In addition to pushing
on-resistance significantly down, special care is tak-
en to ensure a very good dv/dt capability for the
most demanding applications. Such series comple-
ments ST full range of high voltage MOSFETs in-
cluding revolutionary MDmesh™ products.

APPLICATIONS

■HIGH CURRENT, HIGH SPEED SWITCHING

■IDEAL FOR OFF-LINE POWER SUPPLIES, ADAPTORS AND PFC

■LIGHTING

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 capability, but also to make them safely absorb possible voltage transients that may occasionally be applied from gate to source. In this respect the Zener voltage is appropriate to achieve an efficient and cost-effective intervention to protect the device’s integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid the usage of external components.
