STM Offers SuperMESH Power MOSFET Devices

February 07, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

STMicroelectronics Inc. (STM, Geneva) announced three high-voltage, N-channel, power MOSFETs that combine high efficiency and speed with ruggedness and low cost. The devices are the first to be introduced using STM's SuperMESH technology, which complements the company's range of MOSFET technologies, including its MDmesh family of devices.

The three MOSFETs are the STL5NK65Z, a 650V device having a typical on-resistance of 1,500m(omega); the 600V STP13NK60Z, with a typical on-resistance of 480m(omega); and the 500V STP14NK50Z, whose typical on-resistance is 340m(omega). All three MOSFETs are suitable for off-line and switch-mode power supplies, adaptors, power-factor correctors, lamp ballasts, and high-intensity discharge lamps.

The STL5NK65Z is available in the new PowerFLAT packages, while STP13NK60Z and STP14NK50Z are available in D(2)PAK, I(2)PAK and TO-220 packages. Units are available now in volume quantities.
