STMicroelectronics recently introduced an n-channel MOSFET for use in HID lamps, high-end ballasts and switch-mode power supplies that use zero-voltage and zero-current transitions.
According to the company, the STx9NK60ZD is the first device built using a new high-voltage process technology known as SuperFREDMesh. This advanced technology realises a new carrier lifetime control process on ST's basic High Voltage SuperMESH series. The device shows, along with optimal dynamic performance, optimised body diode reverse-recovery time (trr) and very soft recovery. All these features help reduce switching losses. Devices built using the SuperFREDMesh technology also benefit from reduced on-resistance, Zener gate protection, high dv/dt capability and cost competitiveness.
ST says the part handles 600 V, a drain current of up to 7 A and offers a typical RDS(on) of 0,85 Ω. The STF9NK60ZD can handle up to 30 W, while the STB9NK60ZD and STP9NK60ZD each can handle up to 125 W.
