DESCRIPTION
Using the latest high voltage technology based on a
patented strip layout, STMicroelectronics has de-
signed an advanced family of IGBTs, the Power-
MESH
™
IGBTs, with outstanding performances.
The built in collector-gate zener exhibits a very pre-
cise active clamping while the gate-emitter zener
supplies an ESD protection.
