DESCRIPTION
The MDmesh™ is a new revolutionary MOSFET
technology that associates the Multiple Drain process with the Company’s PowerMESH™ horizontal
layout. The resulting product has an outstanding low
on-resistance, impressively high dv/dt and excellent
avalanche characteristics. The adoption of the
Company’s proprietary strip technique yields overall
dynamic performance that is significantly better than
that of similar competition’s products.
