Product details
Overview
NP82N04MDG-S18-AY from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 package, designed for high-current DC switching in automotive and industrial power systems. It delivers 82 A DC drain current, 4.2 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling use in motor control, DC-DC converters, and battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NP82N04MDG-S18-AY datasheet, NP82N04MDG-S18-AY pinout, NP82N04MDG-S18-AY application, or NP82N04MDG-S18-AY equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.4–2.5 V), low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (8.5 mΩ max), repetitive avalanche rating (43 A / 185 mJ), and thermal resistance (Rth(ch-C) = 1.05 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device uses a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.4–2.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, while its 6000 pF typical input capacitance supports moderate-speed PWM operation up to ~100 kHz without excessive gate drive power.
The integrated body diode exhibits 0.9–1.5 V forward voltage at 82 A and 43 ns reverse recovery time under defined di/dt conditions, making it suitable for freewheeling in synchronous rectification and H-bridge topologies where controlled commutation is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; defines use in ≤36 V nominal battery systems (e.g., 12 V/24 V automotive rails). |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10 V | 4.2 mΩ max - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 41 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=4.5 V | 8.5 mΩ max - Ensures usable on-resistance with 5 V microcontroller GPIOs or low-voltage gate drivers. |
| ID(DC) | ±82 A - Continuous drain current rating at TC = 25°C; requires heatsinking for sustained operation. |
| QG | 150 nC max - Total gate charge determines required gate driver peak current for <100 ns switching transitions. |
| Tch max | 175°C - Maximum channel temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design margin in sealed enclosures. |
| EAR | 185 mJ - Repetitive avalanche energy at Tch ≤ 150°C; supports unclamped inductive switching in relay replacement or solenoid drive. |
Pinout & Package
NP82N04MDG-S18-AY is housed in a TO-220 (MP-25K) package with exposed drain tab (fin) for thermal conduction. The case is electrically connected to the drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; requires ESD-safe handling and gate resistor (RG = 25 Ω typical) to control dV/dt and oscillation. |
| 2 (Drain) | Main current path (high-side) | Connected to load supply rail; tab is electrically tied to Drain and must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| 3 (Source) | Return path / reference node | Serves as common return for load current and gate drive reference; forms low-impedance ground loop for switching noise control. |
| 4 (Fin / Drain Tab) | Thermal & electrical drain connection | Primary heat transfer surface; must be mounted to heatsink via insulating thermal pad or isolation washer if source is not at chassis ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.4–2.5 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Super low RDS(on) | 4.2 mΩ @ 10 V reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 6–8 mΩ devices at same current, improving efficiency in 48 V subsystems. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood applications including engine control modules and EPS motor drivers per stress test requirements. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands 43 A / 185 mJ unclamped inductive energy events - eliminates need for external snubbers in solenoid or relay coil driving. |
| Pb-free plating | Sn (tin) lead finish complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 marking. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220FP package (isolated tab) | Higher current rating but larger footprint; lacks AEC-Q101 certification | Preferred for non-automotive high-efficiency SMPS where higher ID and lower RDS(on) justify cost and layout change. |
| IXFH82N40P3 | 400 V, 82 A, RDS(on) = 45 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-247 package | Higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance; not logic-level (VGS(th) = 3.5–5.5 V) | Only suitable when 400 V blocking is required; unsuitable for 12/24 V systems due to excessive conduction loss and gate drive incompatibility. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IXFH82N40P3, NP82N04MDG-S18-AY offers optimal balance of logic-level drive, AEC-Q101 compliance, and thermal performance in TO-220 for 40 V automotive and industrial switching - whereas STL220N4F7AG trades qualification for higher current, and IXFH82N40P3 sacrifices voltage compatibility and gate drive simplicity for ruggedness at higher voltages.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for NP82N04MDG-S18-AY?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for NP82N04MDG-S18-AY is specified as 1.4 V minimum to 2.5 V maximum at ID = 250 μA and VDS = VGS. This logic-level range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, and the NP82N04MDG-S18-AY maintains stable switching behavior across temperature from −55°C to 175°C.
Is NP82N04MDG-S18-AY qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, NP82N04MDG-S18-AY is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the official Renesas datasheet D19800EJ1V0DS. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, uHAST, and temperature cycling, confirming suitability for under-hood automotive applications such as motor drivers and battery management systems - a key differentiator of the NP82N04MDG-S18-AY versus generic industrial MOSFETs.
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for NP82N04MDG-S18-AY?
The maximum continuous drain current (ID(DC)) for NP82N04MDG-S18-AY is ±82 A at case temperature TC = 25°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking; derating applies above 25°C - for example, at TC = 100°C, the usable ID(DC) drops to approximately 45 A. The NP82N04MDG-S18-AY's Rth(ch-C) = 1.05 °C/W directly informs this thermal design requirement.
Does NP82N04MDG-S18-AY have an integrated body diode, and what are its characteristics?
Yes, NP82N04MDG-S18-AY includes an integrated body diode with forward voltage VF(S-D) = 0.9–1.5 V at IF = 82 A and reverse recovery time trr = 43 ns under defined conditions (di/dt = 100 A/μs). These parameters make the NP82N04MDG-S18-AY suitable for freewheeling in H-bridge and synchronous rectifier configurations where fast, low-loss commutation is needed.
What package type and pin configuration does NP82N04MDG-S18-AY use?
NP82N04MDG-S18-AY uses the TO-220 (MP-25K) package with four terminals: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source, and Pin 4 = Fin (electrically connected to Drain). The metal tab serves as both thermal interface and drain connection, requiring electrical isolation from the heatsink unless the drain net is chassis-ground referenced - a defining mechanical feature of the NP82N04MDG-S18-AY layout implementation.
