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 MOSFETs including revolutionary
MDmesh™ products.

1.1 Protection features og gate-to-source zener diodes

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