Product details
Overview
2SJ297-91L from Renesas Electronics (formerly Hitachi) is a silicon P-channel MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in DC-DC converters and switching regulators. It features –60 V VDSS, –20 A continuous drain current, 0.05 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = –10 V, avalanche-rated operation, and LDPAK surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the 2SJ297-91L datasheet, 2SJ297-91L pinout, 2SJ297-91L application, or 2SJ297-91L equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (–1.0 to –2.25 V), low drive current requirement compatible with 5 V logic, body diode reverse recovery time (160 ns), and avalanche energy rating (34 mJ).
Technical Context
This P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET operates with negative gate-to-source control, enabling high-side switching without level-shifting circuitry. Its low RDS(on) and fast switching times (td(on) = 25 ns, tf = 210 ns) reduce conduction and switching losses in synchronous buck topologies.
The integrated body diode supports freewheeling in non-synchronous converters, with specified VDF = –1.1 V at –20 A and trr = 160 ns under defined di/dt conditions. Avalanche capability (IAP = –20 A, EAR = 34 mJ) allows robust operation under inductive load turn-off stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | –60 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown |
| ID (continuous) | –20 A - max DC current at TC = 25°C, defines thermal design margin |
| RDS(on) (VGS = –10 V) | 0.05 Ω typ - determines I²R conduction loss in high-current paths |
| VGS(off) | –1.0 to –2.25 V - gate threshold range enabling reliable turn-on with 5 V logic |
| tr/tf | 130/210 ns - rise/fall times at ID = –10 A, RL = 3 Ω, impacts switching loss |
| EAR | 34 mJ - single-pulse avalanche energy rating, critical for inductive load reliability |
| Ciss | 2200 pF - input capacitance affecting gate drive power and switching speed |
Pinout & Package
Package: LDPAK (4-pin surface-mount, dual-drain configuration). Thermal pad on underside enhances PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Control terminal; negative VGS turns device ON; requires <2.25 V magnitude for full enhancement |
| 2 & 4 | Drain | High-side switched node; electrically common; connects to load supply rail |
| 3 | Source | Power return path; referenced to system ground in high-side switch configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) | 0.05 Ω typ at –10 V gate drive reduces conduction loss in 20 A power stages |
| 4 V gate drive compatibility | Full enhancement achievable with standard 5 V logic, eliminating need for gate boosters |
| Avalanche-rated | 34 mJ single-pulse energy tolerance enables reliable operation during inductive turn-off transients |
| Fast switching | 25 ns turn-on delay and 210 ns fall time support >500 kHz DC-DC converter operation |
| Integrated body diode | 160 ns reverse recovery time and –1.1 V forward drop allow efficient freewheeling without external diode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPbF | RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω (higher), VDSS = –100 V, TO-220 package | Higher voltage rating but higher conduction loss; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts | Prefer when higher blocking voltage is required and thermal mass permits TO-220 mounting |
| Si2305DS | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω (lower), VDSS = –30 V, SOT-23 package | Lower voltage rating and 3.5 A current limit; limited to sub-5 A applications | Prefer for compact, low-power designs where 30 V rating suffices and board area is critical |
Compared with IRF9540NPbF and Si2305DS, the 2SJ297-91L uniquely balances –60 V rating, –20 A current handling, 0.05 Ω RDS(on), and surface-mount LDPAK packaging-making it optimal for medium-power, high-density DC-DC converters requiring avalanche ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the 2SJ297-91L?
The 2SJ297-91L has a gate-to-source cutoff voltage (VGS(off)) ranging from –1.0 V to –2.25 V at ID = –1 mA and VDS = –10 V. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic-level signals while maintaining adequate noise margin against false triggering in noisy environments. The 2SJ297-91L's low threshold supports simple gate drive design without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the 2SJ297-91L be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes, the 2SJ297-91L is suitable for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (0.05 Ω typ), fast switching (tf = 210 ns), and integrated body diode with 160 ns reverse recovery time. Its P-channel architecture simplifies gate drive in secondary-side configurations. The 2SJ297-91L delivers measurable efficiency gains over Schottky diodes in 12–24 V output DC-DC converters operating up to 500 kHz.
What is the maximum avalanche energy rating for the 2SJ297-91L?
The 2SJ297-91L is rated for 34 mJ of single-pulse avalanche energy (EAR) at Tch = 25°C with Rg ≥ 50 Ω. This specification validates its ability to absorb inductive energy during unclamped inductive switching events-critical for reliability in switching regulators and motor drive circuits. The 2SJ297-91L's avalanche capability is confirmed per test condition notes in the original Hitachi datasheet.
Does the 2SJ297-91L have a thermally enhanced package?
Yes, the 2SJ297-91L uses the LDPAK package, which features an exposed thermal pad on the underside for direct PCB copper connection. This design significantly improves thermal resistance from junction-to-board, supporting higher continuous current operation in compact layouts. The 2SJ297-91L's LDPAK footprint enables better thermal performance than comparable SO-8 or DPAK packages at equivalent power levels.
Is the 2SJ297-91L RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
The 2SJ297-91L was originally released in November 1996 and predates mandatory RoHS requirements. While Renesas does not publish formal RoHS/halogen status for this legacy part, the 2SJ297-91L is manufactured using lead-based terminations and may contain restricted substances. For new designs, consult Renesas' official product change notices or contact Aetrix Electronics for compliance documentation specific to current production lots of the 2SJ297-91L.
