Description
Using the well consolidated high voltage MESH
OVERLAY™ process, STMicroelectronics has
designed an advanced family of very high voltage
Power MOSFETs with outstanding performances.
The strengthened layout coupled with the
company’s proprietary edge termination structure,
gives the lowest RDS(on) per area, unrivalled gate
charge and switching characteristics.
