ST AN3973 Application note handbook
This document describes the application of an electronic ballast using STD3N62K3 power MOSFET and STD845DN40 BJT devices. The electronic ballast features active power factor correction (PFC), optimized THD harmonic distortion, and electric efficiency.
ST AN3994 Application note handbook
One of the bigger challenges of the 21st century is to deal with the growing need for power and, at the same time, the necessity of product compactness. The new MDmesh™ V series from STMicroelectronics, based on the super junction concept, meets these targets by offering an extremely low RDS(on) value in a given package, unobtainable in standard HV MOSFETs. In addition to the dramatic reduction of RDS(on), super junction MOSFETs are extremely fast in transients and this may lead to some issues when a better performing technology replaces an older version on the same board with the same driving network. The two main components in the ST super junction MOSFET family (MDmesh™ II and MDmesh™ V) are analyzed and compared in terms of energy losses, voltage, and current rates. It is shown how the external driving network impacts on their performances. Furthermore, a separate section is dedicated to the layout parasitic effects and their impact on MOSFET behavior. It is clear in the end that layout can be crucial, especially when managing very fast transients, and it must be carefully planned in order to help the MOSFET exploit its best potential.
ST AN4016 Application note handbook
This application note reports on the design of a 2 kW-100 V, 123 MHz Class AB peak power amplifier (PPA) for 3 Tesla MRI applications. It almost doubles the output power of previous amplifiers using MOSFET transistors in standard ceramic packages. The design techniques and construction practices are described in enough detail to permit duplication of the amplifier.
