DESCRIPTION
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,specialcareis taken to ensur e a very good dv/dt capability for the
most dem anding applications. Such series complements ST 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 capability, but also to make them safely absorb possible voltage transients that may occasionally be
applied from gate to souce. In this respect the Zener voltage is appropriate to achieve an efficient and c osteffective intervention to prote ct the d ev ice’s integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid the usage
of external component s.
