MDmesh™: Application-based high voltage super-junction MOSFETs

Miss the live event? Watch the 1-hour webinar recording to discover ST’s market-leading high voltage power MOSFETs, including the new M6 series optimized for SMPS applications.

During the session, we explore ST’s high voltage super-junction MOSFET technology, MDmesh™. Spanning voltage ratings from 250 V to 1500 V, these innovative discrete devices are advancing the performance of power topologies for applications ranging from motor control to vehicle electrification — and everything in-between.

We review the benefits and target applications of ST’s broad high-voltage portfolio, followed by a dedicated discussion on the new 600 V - 700 V M6 series highly suited for applications requiring high efficiency and power density, such as Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).

You will learn:

• What makes the MDmesh™ structure so effective
• The target applications for each of the 5 MDmesh™ families
• About the power topologies enabling high efficiency standards
• The diverse packaging options available
• About the resources available to help designers use MDmesh™ MOSFETs

About MDmesh™ Power MOSFETS

• The Super-Junction MOSFET structure allows to shrink the epitaxial layer of the vertical MOS compared to planar types, reducing Rds(on) for a given die area
• There are four modern families of MDmesh devices – M5, M2, M6, and K5 – Spanning drain voltage ratings from 250 V to 1700 V.
• Each is optimal for differing power applications like CCM PFCs, resonant converters, ZVS bridges, or flybacks.
• M6 is a new reference for best-in-class performance in resonant topologies
• Diverse SMT and through-hole packaging, as well as module options, allow mechanical ease of design in any application.
• Detailed application notes, selection guides/apps, and models enable quick designs with MDmesh™ technologies
