Super-junction MOSFETs are engineered for energy saving topologies

Engineered for high efficiency in medium-power resonant and hard-switching converter topologies, the MDmesh M6 600V super-junction transistors have been released by STMicroelectronics.

The threshold voltage optimised for soft switching makes the transistors suitable for LLC resonant converters and boost-PFC converters in energy-conscious applications. According to STMicroelectronics, the MDmesh M6 MOSFETs perform efficiently in hard-switching topologies. The capacitance profile enhances light-load efficiency and gate charge (Qg) as low as 16 nC, permitting high switching frequencies.

The M6 super-junction technology helps reduce RDS(ON) to as little as 0.036Ohm, for extra efficiency gains and increasing power density in battery chargers, power adapters, PC power supplies, LED-lighting drivers, telecomms and server power supplies, and solar micro-inverters.

Package options include the space saving, thermally efficient, leadless TO-LL, and popular through-hole and surface-mount packages including DPAK, D2PAK, TO-220, TO-247, and PowerFLAT. The JEDEC-registered TO-LL power-package outline has a 30 per cent smaller footprint and 50 per cent lower height than the D²PAK seven-pin package, allowing more compact and space-efficient power converters. With low parasitic inductances, TO-LL helps minimise electromagnetic interference, adds STMicroelectronics.

The MDmesh M6 series is part of the STPower portfolio. The series comprises 37 part numbers covering current ratings from 13 to 72A and is in production now. Please contact your ST sales office for pricing options and sample requests.
