STL18N65M5 - N-channel 650 V, 0.079 ohm typ., 16 A MDmesh™ M5 Power MOSFET in a PowerFLAT™ 5x6 package

The STL18N65M5 is a high-performance N-channel Power MOSFET from STMicroelectronics, designed with the advanced MDmesh™ M5 technology. This product is tailored for highly efficient power conversion applications and is housed in a compact PowerFLAT™ 5x6 package, which is known for its excellent thermal performance and space-saving footprint.

With a drain-source voltage of 650 V, the STL18N65M5 offers a robust solution for systems that require high voltage operation. The device is characterized by an extremely low on-resistance (R<sub>DS(on)) of 0.079 ohms (typical), which contributes to its outstanding efficiency, minimizing energy losses during operation. The device's current rating stands at 16 A, allowing for significant power handling capability.

One of the key features of this Power MOSFET is the MDmesh™ M5 technology, which combines excellent R<sub>DS(on) per area with a fast-recovery body diode. This technology is ideal for high-efficiency converters and is especially suited for resonant and hard-switching topologies. The STL18N65M5 is also designed to handle high pulse currents, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of power applications.

The PowerFLAT™ 5x6 package is not only space-efficient but also enhances the thermal management of the device. This package allows for a simplified PCB design with a reduced footprint, benefiting designers who are looking to optimize their systems for size and thermal performance. Additionally, the package's low profile and leadless design make it an excellent choice for applications where height is a critical constraint.

Applications for the STL18N65M5 include a variety of power supply circuits, lighting applications, solar inverters, welding equipment, and any other system that requires a high-efficiency, high-voltage, and high-current MOSFET. With its outstanding performance characteristics and the reliability of STMicroelectronics, the STL18N65M5 is a solid choice for designers aiming to enhance their power conversion systems.
