DESCRIPTION
This Power MOSFET is the latest development of
SGS-THOMSON unique "Single Feature Size
TM
"
strip-based
process. The resulting transistor
shows extremely high packing density for low
on-resistance, rugged avalanche characteristics
and less critical alignment steps therefore a
remarkable manufacturing reproducibility.
APPLICATIONS
s
HIGH CURRENT, HIGH SPEED SWITCHING
s
SOLENOID AND RELAY DRIVERS
s
MOTOR CONTROL, AUDIO AMPLIFIERS
s
DC-DC & DC-AC CONVERTERS
s
AUTOMOTIVE ENVIRONMENT (INJECTION,
