Product details
Overview
2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for low-voltage, high-current synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters. It delivers RDS(on)1 = 3.8 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 32 A, supports 5 V gate drive, and features Ciss = 4770 pF typical - enabling efficient switching in compact power stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ datasheet, 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ pinout, 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ application, or 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-252 (MP-3ZK) package, avalanche-rated operation (EAS = 168 mJ), body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 43 ns), and suitability for high-frequency, high-efficiency buck converter topologies.
Technical Context
This device employs a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off) = 2.0–3.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers, while the 5 V drive capability enables direct interface with microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting.
The integrated body diode exhibits VF(S-D) = 0.91 V at IF = 64 A and trr = 43 ns under specified di/dt conditions, supporting efficient freewheeling in synchronous rectifier configurations. Avalanche ruggedness (IAS = 41 A, EAS = 168 mJ) provides robustness against inductive switching transients in non-isolated DC/DC stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 25 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input bus systems and 5 V output rails. |
| RDS(on)1 | 3.8 mΩ max @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 32 A - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 32 A, critical for thermal management in high-current POL converters. |
| Ciss | 4770 pF typ - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and improves switching speed in high-frequency (>500 kHz) designs. |
| trr | 43 ns - Fast body diode recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and switching losses during dead-time transitions. |
| QG | 88 nC - Gate charge value determines required driver peak current and influences gate loop stability in high-speed layouts. |
| EAS | 168 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating allows safe operation under transient overvoltage events without external clamping. |
| PT1 | 40 W @ TC = 25°C - Thermal performance enables high-power density when mounted on copper-clad PCBs with adequate heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ uses the TO-252 (MP-3ZK) surface-mount package - a 3-lead, single-die configuration with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package measures 10.4 mm × 6.1 mm × 2.3 mm (max height) and features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Gate | Control electrode | Accepts 0–20 V gate drive; threshold voltage range 2.0–3.0 V ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces. |
| 2. Drain | Main current path (high-side connection) | Connected to internal die backside and exposed metal tab - must be thermally and electrically tied to PCB ground plane or heatsink. |
| 3. Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Serves as common reference for gate control and load current return; requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) with 5 V drive | RDS(on)2 = 7.8 mΩ max @ VGS = 5 V, ID = 16 A - enables use with 5 V microcontroller outputs without gate driver ICs. |
| Fast switching with low QG/QGD ratio | QGD/QG = 34% - reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability in hard-switched topologies. |
| Robust body diode | trr = 43 ns, Qrr = 52 nC - minimizes reverse recovery losses and EMI generation during synchronous rectification. |
| Avalanche-rated operation | IAS = 41 A, EAS = 168 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching applications like motor drives and DC/DC converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PbF | RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 10 V, but higher Ciss = 5200 pF; no published EAS rating. | Lacks documented avalanche ruggedness - unsuitable for unclamped inductive switching. | Prefer 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ where transient overvoltage immunity is required. |
| STP30NF20 | Higher VDSS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 35 mΩ - significantly higher conduction loss at 25 V operation. | Designed for high-voltage industrial motor drives, not optimized for low-VDS high-current DC/DC. | 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ offers 9× lower RDS(on) at 25 V, delivering superior efficiency in low-voltage POL applications. |
Compared with IRL3803PbF and STP30NF20, the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ uniquely balances ultra-low on-resistance, fast switching, and certified avalanche capability in a TO-252 package - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-efficiency synchronous rectifiers in 12–24 V input DC/DC converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ?
The 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ has a maximum continuous drain current (ID(DC)) of ±64 A at TC = 25°C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal management; actual usable current depends on case temperature and layout. Derating applies above 25°C per the datasheet's total power dissipation curve.
Does the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ support 3.3 V gate drive?
No - the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ is not guaranteed to fully enhance with 3.3 V gate drive. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off)) ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 V, and RDS(on)2 = 4.1–7.8 mΩ is specified only at VGS = 5.0 V. For reliable low-RDS(on) operation, 5 V or 10 V gate drive is required.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case (Rth(ch-C)) for the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ?
The 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ has a channel-to-case thermal resistance (Rth(ch-C)) of 3.13°C/W, measured under JEDEC conditions. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise in TO-252-mounted designs and confirms the device's suitability for high-power-density applications when soldered to adequate copper area.
Is the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Renesas Electronics confirms lead-free plating and halogen-free molding compound in this part variant, consistent with its "Standard" quality grade classification and target applications in office equipment and industrial electronics.
What is the purpose of the fourth terminal (Fin/Drain) shown in the TO-252 package drawing?
The fourth terminal labeled "Fin (Drain)" in the 2SK3993-ZK-E1-AZ TO-252 package drawing is the exposed drain pad - a large metal surface on the underside of the package. It serves as both the primary thermal path to the PCB and the electrical connection to the drain node, requiring direct soldering to a copper pour for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
