ST has recently introduced the new 650 V MDmesh II and the 800 V MDmesh I series in response to the increasing demand for higher efficiency adapters in the 75 W up to 230 W power ranges.
The types of Power MOSFETs chosen by adapter designers differentiate themselves in breakdown voltage and maximum on-resistance depending on the topology and the range of power involved. In flyback single switch adapters designers may use 600 V to 800 V Power MOSFETs.

Depending on the winding ratio of the transformer, and the voltage and current capability of the diode used on the secondary side, designers may improve the efficiency of their applications by using a 650 V Power MOSFET instead of a 600 V device.
When designers require higher breakdown voltage levels, the 800 V MDmesh devices are the right choice for the most demanding high-efficiency adapters. In fact, thanks to STs' Super-junction technology, 800 V devices greatly reduce switching losses.

650 V MDmesh II key features


Standard packages TO-220, D2PAK, I2PAK, TO-220FP and TO-247
Avalanche ruggedness
Gate charge minimized
Very low intrinsic capacitance
Very high-speed switching
Extreme dv/dt rating
Exceptionally low RDS(on)

650 V MDmesh II main benefits


The range of VGS used to drive the 650 V devices has been lowered (threshold voltage range Vth: 2 V < Vth < 4 V) keeping the same threshold spread (2 V), ensuring high noise immunity that prevents the circuit from accidentally switching. An energy-optimized driver circuit enables the Power MOSFET to drive higher currents at a lower voltage gate threshold.

800 V MDmesh I Main benefits


Thanks to its extremely low on-resistance per area, the 800 V device is recommended for PFC in lighting, adapters and most high-efficiency converters for switching applications. The wide variety of packages allow designers maximum flexibility in their applications.

800 V MDmesh I key features
