600V Super-Junction mosfets for bridge and ZVS converters

STMicroelectronics’ DM6 600V mosfets contain a fast-recovery body diode to bring super-junction technology to full-bridge (and half) phase-shifted zero voltage switched (ZVS) converters – and other applications that need a robust diode to handle dV/dt. “Leveraging ST’s carrier lifetime control technology, the mosfets have reduced reverse-recovery time [trr] to minimise power dissipation in the diode ...
