STE48NM50 N-CHANNEL 550V Tjmax - 0.08 - 48A ISOTOP MDmesh MOSFET Table 1: General Features Figure 1: Package TYPE V R I DSS DS(on) D ( Tjmax) STE48NM50 550V < 0.1 48 A TYPICAL R (on) = 0.08 DS HIGH dv/dt AND AVALANCHE CAPABILITIES 100% AVALANCHE TESTED LOW INPUT CAPACITANCE AND GATE CHARGE LOW GATE INPUT RESISTANCE ISOTOP TIGHT PROCESS CONTROL AND HIGH MANUFACTURING YIELDS DESCRIPTION The MDmesh is a new revolutionary MOSFET technology that associates the Multiple Drain pro- Figure 2: Internal Schematic Diagram cess with the Companys PowerMESH horizon- tal layout. The resulting product has an outstanding low on-resistance, impressively high dv/dt and excellent avalanche characteristics. The adoption of the Companys proprietary strip tech- nique yields overall dynamic performance that is significantly better than that of similar competi- tions products. APPLICATIONS The MDmesh family is very suitable for increas- ing power density of high voltage converters allow- ing system miniaturization and higher efficiencies.
