Description
These devices are N-channel Power MOSFETs
developed using MDmesh™ M2 EP enhanced
performance technology. Thanks to their strip
layout and improved vertical structure, the
devices exhibit low on-resistance and optimized
switching characteristics with very low turn-off
switching losses, rendering them suitable for the
most demanding very high frequency converters.
