MDmesh™ Power MOSFET
General features
High dv/dt and avalanche capabilities
100% avalanche tested
Low input capacitance and gate charge
Low gate input resistance
Description
The MDmesh™ is a new revolutionary Power
MOSFET technology that associates the Multiple
Drain process with the Company’s
PowerMESH™horizontal layout. The resulting
product has an outstanding low on-resistance,
impressively high dv/dt and excellent avalanche
characteristics and dynamic performances.
