6. Frequently Asked Questions
▶>
A: ST’s F7 technology provides enhanced power density and lower RDS(on), improving efficiency and reducing heat losses in high-current circuits.
>
A: Yes, it’s suited for EV sub-systems like BMS, DC-DC converters, and low-voltage power stages.
>
A: For loads under ~20A, yes. But for full 100A operation, a heat sink is mandatory to avoid thermal damage.
>
A: STD100N6F7 (D2PAK) offers similar performance with surface mount convenience.
>
A: It requires a gate driver or at least 10V gate signal. Direct MCU drive (3.3V/5V) isn't recommended without a buffer.
