Technologies for UPS systems

In ST portfolio, favorite silicon technologies for the UPS environment are:

•

STripFET™ IV DeepGATE technology ("F4 series")

•

STripFET VI DeepGATE technology ("F6 series")

Both of them are trench technologies, which allow a good R

DS(on)

performance. Here below

the cross-sections of STripFET IV DeepGATE technology (

Figure 4) and STripFET VI

DeepGATE technology (

Figure 5).

Figure 4. STripFET IV deepGATE technology cross-section

Figure 5. STripFET VI deepGATE technology cross-section

By comparing two above mentioned technologies, STripFET VI DeepGATE shows a better

performance in specific R

DS(on)

(or R

DS(on)

*area); in

Figure 6, the relevant specific R

DS(on)

is compared by taking into account the breakdown voltage and die size.
