High-Efficiency Super-Junction MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics Target Energy-Saving Power Topologies

Geneva, December 12, 2018 — STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh™ M6 series 600V super-junction transistors are engineered for high efficiency in medium-power resonant and hard-switching converter topologies.

The threshold voltage optimized for soft switching makes the the new transistors ideally suited for LLC resonant converters and boost-PFC converters in energy-conscious applications. MDmesh M6 devices perform efficiently in hard-switching topologies, too, with their capacitance profile enhancing light-load efficiency and gate charge (Qg) as low as 16 nC permitting high switching frequencies.

In addition, ST’s state-of-the-art M6 super-junction technology helps reduce RDS(ON) to as little as 0.036Ω, unleashing extra efficiency gains and increasing power density in equipment such as battery chargers, power adapters, PC power supplies, LED-lighting drivers, telecom and server power supplies, and solar micro-inverters.

Package options include the space-saving and thermally efficient new leadless TO-LL, as well as 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 30% smaller footprint and 50% lower height than the established D²PAK 7-pin, allowing more compact and space-efficient power converters. With low parasitic inductances, TO-LL also helps minimize electromagnetic interference.

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

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
