Product details
Overview
2SK1947-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-speed switching in DC-DC converters and motor drive circuits. It features 250 V VDSS, 50 A continuous drain current, 0.047 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, built-in fast-recovery body diode (trr = 140 ns), and TO-3PL package with flanged drain for enhanced thermal dissipation.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK1947-E datasheet, 2SK1947-E pinout, 2SK1947-E application, or 2SK1947-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss at high current, fast switching timing (td(off) = 420 ns), rugged body diode performance, and suitability for industrial switching regulators requiring stable 250 V operation.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a vertical DMOS structure optimized for low RDS(on) and high dV/dt immunity. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off) = 2.0–3.0 V) enables direct TTL/CMOS drive, while Ciss = 5810 pF and Crss = 270 pF support efficient gate control in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits forward voltage VDF = 1.2 V at 50 A and reverse recovery time trr = 140 ns under diF/dt = 100 A/µs - critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 250 V - supports input rails up to 200 V DC with 25% safety margin in offline and industrial SMPS |
| RDS(on) | 0.047 Ω (typ) at VGS = 10 V - delivers ≤58 W conduction loss at 50 A, enabling compact heatsink design |
| tr/tf | 270 ns / 200 ns - enables >100 kHz switching without excessive switching loss in hard-switched converters |
| trr | 140 ns - minimizes diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated EMI in inductive switching |
| Pch | 200 W at Tc = 25°C - allows high-power pulse operation with case temperature monitoring |
| Ciss | 5810 pF - determines gate drive strength requirement; ~1.2 µC Qg typical per datasheet curves |
| Tch | 150°C maximum channel temperature - defines safe operating area limits under transient overload |
Pinout & Package
2SK1947-E uses the TO-3PL package (RENESAS code PRSS0004ZF-A), featuring an isolated flange-drain configuration for direct mounting to heatsinks and high thermal conductivity (θch–c = 0.625°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Gate | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; ±30 V max rating protects against transients during layout routing |
| 2: Drain (Flange) | High-side power terminal | Electrically connected to metal flange - must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to system ground |
| 3: Source | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; low-inductance PCB layout essential for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) | 0.047 Ω reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. comparable 200 V MOSFETs, lowering thermal stress in 50 A motor drives |
| Built-in fast-recovery diode | trr = 140 ns enables use without external Schottky in low-frequency synchronous rectifiers, saving board space |
| High dV/dt immunity | Specified VDSS = 250 V with robust oxide ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial environments |
| TO-3PL thermal design | Flanged drain provides direct thermal path to heatsink, supporting 200 W dissipation at Tc = 25°C |
| Low gate charge | Qg ≈ 1.2 nC (inferred from Ciss/Crss and switching waveforms) eases drive requirements for microcontroller-based gate drivers |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH50N20L | 200 V VDSS, 0.042 Ω RDS(on), TO-247 package, no integrated diode | Lacks built-in fast diode; requires external SiC Schottky for same recovery performance | Select when higher voltage margin is unnecessary and discrete diode optimization is preferred |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK1947-E?
The 2SK1947-E has a rated continuous drain current (ID) of 50 A at Tc = 25°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and derating per the Pch vs. Tc curve - at 100°C case temperature, the usable ID drops to approximately 30 A. The 2SK1947-E must not exceed this limit to maintain safe channel temperature below 150°C.
Does the 2SK1947-E have a built-in body diode, and what is its reverse recovery time?
Yes, the 2SK1947-E integrates a fast-recovery body diode with reverse recovery time (trr) of 140 ns under test conditions of IF = 50 A and diF/dt = 100 A/µs. This diode is intrinsic to the MOSFET structure and enables freewheeling in inductive loads without external components - a key feature confirmed in the "Features" section of the 2SK1947-E datasheet.
What package type does the 2SK1947-E use, and how is thermal management implemented?
The 2SK1947-E uses the TO-3PL package (RENESAS code PRSS0004ZF-A), where the drain is electrically connected to the metal flange. Thermal management relies on mounting the flange directly to a heatsink using insulating thermal pads or mica washers. The specified thermal resistance θch–c is 0.625°C/W, meaning a 200 W power dissipation raises the channel temperature by 125°C above case temperature - requiring active cooling for sustained operation.
Can the 2SK1947-E be driven directly by a 5 V microcontroller GPIO pin?
No - the 2SK1947-E requires VGS ≥ 10 V for full enhancement and minimal RDS(on). At 5 V, the device operates in linear region with significantly higher on-resistance (>0.2 Ω), causing excessive heating. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4420 or similar) is required to deliver sufficient peak current and reach 10 V quickly, especially given its Ciss of 5810 pF.
What is the gate-to-source voltage rating for the 2SK1947-E, and why is it important?
The 2SK1947-E has a gate-to-source voltage rating (VGSS) of ±30 V. Exceeding this limit risks permanent gate oxide damage. During circuit operation, transient overshoots from parasitic inductance or improper gate driver layout can easily breach this rating - hence gate resistors, TVS clamps, and low-inductance gate loops are mandatory design practices for reliable 2SK1947-E deployment.
