80V power MOSFETs from ST for solar micro-inverters
STMicroelectronics has extended its family of power transistors
featuring sixth-generation STripFET technology.
STMicroelectronics says the latest STripFET VI DeepGATE
power MOSFETs can withstand voltages up to 80V, allowing
to be used in solar applications (micro-inverters), telecommunications,
networking and power supplies for servers.
The high voltage ratings permit reliable operation in 48V
telecom applications; delivering efficiency gains that help
operators reduce network-running costs. Consumer power supplies
will draw less energy and will operate at lower temperatures
for improved user comfort and longer life claims STMicroelectronics.
The first five parts introduced are the 60V STP260N6F6
and STH260N6F6-2, the 75V STP210N75F6 and STH210N75F6-2,
and the 80 V STL75N8LF6. Using ST's latest-generation DeepGATE
trench MOSFET structure, they achieve lowest on-state resistance
per die area for this type of device. This allows ST to
house the low-loss devices in a choice of miniature and
industry-standard package styles, enabling customers to
boost system efficiency while also minimizing PCB (printed-circuit-board)
dimensions and lowering overall component costs.
