In this respect the Zener voltage is appropriate to achieve an efficient and cost-effective intervention to protect the device’s integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid the usage of external components 5/16 Doc ID 18424 Rev 2 **STF6N65K3, STFI6N65K3, STU6N65K3** **Electrical characteristics** ## **2.1 Electrical characteristics (curves)** **Figure 2.
