STs new STV160NF02L and STV160NF03L N-channel MOSFETs are manufactured in STs proprietary STripFET II low voltage technology, and are housed in PowerSO-10 for surface mounting.
Thanks to this well consolidated technology coupled to the multi-wire and multi-stitch bonding technique introduced in the PowerSO-10, these devices show the lowest on-resistance (1.6m ohm) and the lowest figure of merit RDS(on) * Qg .
The New A version of PowerSO-10 exhibits almost the same performance in terms of RDS(on), with a simplified assembly procedure.
The new devices are ideal for synchronous buck converters for telecom and also in matching the very high current and fast transient response requirements in the newest generation of CPUs. The Kelvin source terminal enables the drive voltage to be applied between the gate and the Kelvin itself, therefore averting voltage drops of the type LS* dID/dt due to high rates of change of drain current across the stray inductance in series to the conventional source lead.

Features
These
PowerSO-10 devices are not only suitable
for new designs, but can also replace existing
solutions using paralleled SO-8, DPAK and D2PAK
packages much more efficiently. This translates
into simplification of circuit layout and board
space saving.
