Product details
Overview
NP80N03MLE-S18-AY from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 (MP-25K) package, rated for 30 V VDSS, 80 A DC drain current, and 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features built-in gate protection diode, 175 °C channel temperature rating, and low input capacitance (2600 pF typ.), designed for high-current DC/DC converter primary-side switching and motor drive half-bridge legs.
For engineers reviewing the NP80N03MLE-S18-AY datasheet, NP80N03MLE-S18-AY pinout, NP80N03MLE-S18-AY application, or NP80N03MLE-S18-AY equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V–10 V gate drive, avalanche energy rating (2.5–400 mJ), thermal resistance (Rth(ch-C) = 1.25 °C/W), and TO-220 mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device uses a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in hard-switched topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5–2.5 V) enables logic-level drive compatibility, while the body diode exhibits 1.0 V forward voltage at 80 A and 34 ns reverse recovery time - critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths.
The MOSFET supports single-pulse avalanche operation up to 50 A (IAS) with energy ratings dependent on starting channel temperature (2.5 mJ at 175 °C, 400 mJ at 25 °C). Thermal design must account for Rth(ch-A) = 83.3 °C/W in still air and derating above 25 °C case temperature per Figure 2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; suitable for 24 V nominal bus systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 7.0 mΩ max - Enables ≤ 22.4 W conduction loss at 80 A DC, requiring active heatsinking for sustained operation. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 11 mΩ max - Confirms usable performance with 5 V microcontroller gate drive without external level-shifting. |
| QG total | 72 nC max - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.4 A peak for 50 ns turn-on with 1 Ω RG). |
| EAS @ Tch = 25 °C | 400 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche robustness for inductive load switching without snubber. |
| Ciss | 2600 pF typ. - Impacts gate drive power loss and EMI generation; lower than comparable 80 A MOSFETs. |
| Tch max | 175 °C - Allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
NP80N03MLE-S18-AY is housed in TO-220 (MP-25K) package with standard 3-pin layout and integral metal tab (Drain-connected fin) for direct heatsink mounting. Package weight is 1.9 g; lead plating is pure Sn (Pb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Left) | Gate | Control terminal; requires < ±20 V absolute max rating; protected by internal Zener diode. |
| 2 (Center) | Drain | Main high-side current path; electrically connected to metal tab - must be isolated from heatsink unless system ground referenced. |
| 3 (Right) | Source | Power return node; defines reference for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super low RDS(on) | 7.0 mΩ max at 10 V drive enables high-efficiency 24 V motor control and DC/DC converters with minimal thermal footprint. |
| Built-in gate protection diode | Integrated Zener between Gate and Source limits gate oxide stress during ESD events or gate driver faults - reduces need for external TVS. |
| 175 °C channel rating | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood auxiliary loads) without derating to 150 °C. |
| Low Ciss/Coss ratio | Ciss = 2600 pF / Coss = 590 pF improves switching efficiency and reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk in bridge configurations. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 34 ns and Qrr = 22 nC minimize switching losses and voltage spikes during commutation in synchronous rectifiers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP80NF03L | RDS(on) = 6.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Ciss = 2900 pF; TO-220FP package (shorter leads, no mounting hole). | Lacks integrated gate Zener; requires external gate protection; slightly higher gate charge (75 nC). | Preferred where lower RDS(on) justifies added protection circuitry and footprint adjustment. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ @ 10 V; VDSS = 40 V; TO-220AB package; no gate protection diode. | Higher voltage rating increases cost and capacitance; 40 V rating unnecessary for 24 V systems, reducing efficiency vs. 30 V devices. | Only suitable when 40 V transient immunity is mandatory and gate protection is externally implemented. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for NP80N03MLE-S18-AY?
The NP80N03MLE-S18-AY is rated for ±80 A DC drain current at TC = 25 °C, based on channel temperature limit of 175 °C. At elevated case temperatures, current must be derated per Figure 2 in the datasheet - e.g., ~55 A at TC = 100 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and PCB copper area per MP-25K package thermal guidelines.
Does NP80N03MLE-S18-AY have built-in gate protection?
Yes, NP80N03MLE-S18-AY integrates a gate-to-source Zener diode for ESD protection, as confirmed in the Equivalent Circuit diagram (page 9) and Features section. This protects the gate oxide from transients up to ±20 V, though external gate resistors and clamping remain recommended for high-noise environments.
Can NP80N03MLE-S18-AY operate with 5 V gate drive?
Yes, NP80N03MLE-S18-AY specifies RDS(on)2 = 9.0 mΩ max at VGS = 5 V and ID = 40 A, confirming functional enhancement-mode operation with standard 5 V logic. Gate threshold voltage is 1.5–2.5 V, ensuring reliable turn-on with 5 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting.
What is the avalanche energy rating of NP80N03MLE-S18-AY?
NP80N03MLE-S18-AY is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) up to 400 mJ at starting channel temperature of 25 °C, decreasing to 2.5 mJ at 175 °C (Figure 4). This enables robust operation in inductive switching without external snubbers when gate drive and layout minimize parasitic inductance.
Is NP80N03MLE-S18-AY RoHS compliant and Pb-free?
Yes, NP80N03MLE-S18-AY uses pure Sn (tin) lead plating and is explicitly marked "Pb-free" in the Marking Information section (page 9) and Ordering Information table. It complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements, with chlorine content in rosin flux limited to ≤0.2 wt.% per recommended soldering conditions.
