STP1N120
STU1N120
N-channel 1200 V - 30 - 500 mA - TO-220 - IPAK
Zener - protected SuperMESH™ Power MOSFET
Features
100% avalanche tested
Extremely high dv/dt capability
ESD improved capability
New high voltage benchmark
Gate charge minimized
Application
Switching applications
Description
The SuperMESH™ series is obtained through an
extreme optimization of ST’s well established
strip-based PowerMESH™ layout. In addition to
pushing on-resistance significantly down, special
care is taken to ensure a very good dv/dt
capability for the most demanding applications.
Such series complements ST full range of high
voltage Power MOSFETs including revolutionary
MDmesh™ products.

1. The built-in-back Zener diodes have specifically been designed to enhance not only the device’s ESD
capability, but also to make them safely absorb possibile voltage transients that may occasionally be
applied from gate to source. In this respect the zener voltage is appropriate to achieve an efficient and ost-
effective intervention to protect the device’s integrity. These integrated zener diodes thus avoid the usage
of external components.
