Product details
Overview
NP22N055SLE-E2-AY from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC switching in industrial motor drives and DC-DC converters. It features a 55 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 22 A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C), and ultra-low RDS(on) of 37 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and ID = 11 A - enabling efficient thermal performance in compact TO-252 (JEDEC) packages.
For engineers reviewing the NP22N055SLE-E2-AY datasheet, NP22N055SLE-E2-AY pinout, NP22N055SLE-E2-AY application, or NP22N055SLE-E2-AY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175°C channel temperature rating, built-in gate protection diode, avalanche energy capability (19 mJ at IAS = 14 A), and low Ciss (730 pF typ.) for fast switching with reduced drive loss.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar silicon process optimized for ruggedness in repetitive switching and single-pulse avalanche conditions. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.5 V to 2.5 V at ID = 250 µA, supporting reliable turn-on with 4.5–5.0 V logic-level gate drive while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates a body diode with 1.0 V forward voltage at IF = 22 A and exhibits 37 ns reverse recovery time (trr) under di/dt = 100 A/µs - critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge topologies where diode conduction losses dominate efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - supports 48 V nominal bus systems with 15% margin for transients and ripple. |
| RDS(on)1 | 37 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 11 A - enables ≤0.45 W conduction loss at 11 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID(DC) | ±22 A at TC = 25°C - delivers high peak load current in motor H-bridge or power supply output stages. |
| Ciss | 730 pF typ. at VDS = 25 V - lowers gate drive power and improves switching speed in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
| EAS | 19 mJ at IAS = 14 A - sustains single-pulse inductive energy without failure during overcurrent events in relay or solenoid drivers. |
| Tch | 175°C rated - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below full current. |
Pinout & Package
NP22N055SLE-E2-AY uses the TO-252 (JEDEC) / MP-3ZK surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package measures 10.4 mm × 6.5 mm × 1.14 mm (max) and features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires external series resistor (RG) to control dV/dt and suppress ringing during switching. |
| 2 (Drain) | Main current path (high-side) | Connected to high-voltage rail; thermally tied to large copper pour via exposed fin for Rth(ch-C) = 3.33°C/W. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node / return path | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; must be low-inductance to minimize shoot-through risk in bridge configurations. |
| 4 (Fin / Drain) | Thermal & electrical connection | Exposed metal tab electrically connected to Drain; must be soldered to PCB thermal pad for safe power handling up to 45 W (TC = 25°C). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 175°C channel temperature rating | Enables sustained operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling or oversized heatsinks. |
| Built-in gate protection diode | Provides ESD robustness per JESD22-A114 (HBM ≥ 2 kV), reducing need for external TVS on gate traces. |
| Low RDS(on)2 = 45 mΩ max at VGS = 5.0 V | Supports direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers or logic ICs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Single-pulse avalanche capability | Guarantees survivability under inductive switching stress (e.g., motor phase commutation) without external snubbers. |
| Body diode with low VF(S-D) = 1.0 V | Reduces freewheeling losses in non-synchronous buck converters and simplifies layout by eliminating discrete flyback diodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V but only rated to 55 V/49 A; no specified avalanche energy; TO-220 package. | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 62°C/W) limits use in space-constrained SMT designs. | Prefer NP22N055SLE-E2-AY when board area, thermal performance, or avalanche ruggedness are critical. |
| STP22NF55 | Same VDSS/ID ratings but RDS(on) = 50 mΩ @ 10 V; Ciss = 1050 pF; TO-220 package. | Higher gate charge (QG = 32 nC vs. 23 nC) increases driver loss and slows switching in high-frequency converters. | Choose NP22N055SLE-E2-AY for lower conduction + switching loss trade-off in compact, high-efficiency designs. |
Compared with IRFZ44NPBF and STP22NF55, NP22N055SLE-E2-AY offers superior thermal management via TO-252 package, verified single-pulse avalanche capability, and lower combined conduction/switching loss - making it optimal for high-density industrial power stages where reliability and efficiency are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for NP22N055SLE-E2-AY at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the maximum continuous drain current for NP22N055SLE-E2-AY is derated to approximately 14.5 A, based on the linear derating curve from 22 A at 25°C and Rth(ch-C) = 3.33°C/W. This value is confirmed in Figure 2 of the D14136EJ4V0DS datasheet and ensures safe operation without exceeding the 175°C channel limit.
Does NP22N055SLE-E2-AY support 5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, NP22N055SLE-E2-AY is fully compatible with 5 V logic-level gate drive: its RDS(on)2 is guaranteed ≤45 mΩ at VGS = 5.0 V and ID = 11 A. The gate threshold voltage range (1.5–2.5 V) provides sufficient margin against noise-induced turn-on while ensuring strong enhancement-mode behavior.
What is the purpose of the fourth terminal (Fin) on NP22N055SLE-E2-AY?
The fourth terminal (Fin) on NP22N055SLE-E2-AY is an exposed drain pad integral to the TO-252 (JEDEC) / MP-3ZK package. It serves dual roles: electrically connecting to the drain and providing primary thermal conduction path to the PCB. Proper soldering to a thermal pad is mandatory to achieve the specified Rth(ch-C) = 3.33°C/W and 45 W power dissipation rating.
Is NP22N055SLE-E2-AY RoHS compliant?
Yes, NP22N055SLE-E2-AY complies with the EU RoHS Directive. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for this part in accordance with its corporate policy and regulatory requirements, including restriction of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Full material declarations are available upon request through Renesas sales offices.
Can NP22N055SLE-E2-AY replace NP22N055ILE in existing designs?
NP22N055SLE-E2-AY can replace NP22N055ILE only if the PCB layout accommodates the TO-252 (JEDEC) / MP-3ZK footprint, which differs mechanically from the TO-252 (JEITA) / MP-3Z used by NP22N055ILE. While both share identical electrical specifications, the JEDEC variant has distinct lead pitch and thermal pad dimensions - requiring layout verification before substitution.
