About this document
Scope and purpose
This Application Note describes the characteristics of CoolMOS™ P6, the seventh technology platform of
Infineon’s high voltage power MOSFETs designed according to the revolutionary Superjunction (SJ)
principle. CoolMOS™ P6 will be described in reference to the existing CoolMOS™ generations both from a
technology viewpoint and application performance. Design guidelines will be given to enable CoolMOS
TM
P6
optimized performance.
Intended audience
This document is intended for design engineers who want to improve their high voltage power conversion
applications.
