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.
