Product details
Overview
STB23N80K5 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET using MDmesh K5 vertical structure technology, rated for 800 V VDS, 230 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 8 A, 16 A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C), and 190 W total power dissipation. It delivers ultra-low gate charge (33 nC) and very low figure of merit for high-efficiency switching in offline SMPS and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the STB23N80K5 datasheet, STB23N80K5 pinout, STB23N80K5 application, or STB23N80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V breakdown voltage, 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness, Zener-protected gate, D²PAK package thermal performance (RthJC = 0.66 °C/W), and diode recovery characteristics (trr = 410 ns at TJ = 25 °C).
Technical Context
This device implements ST's MDmesh K5 proprietary vertical superjunction architecture to simultaneously reduce RDS(on) and gate charge-achieving 230 mΩ typ. at 800 V with only 33 nC total gate charge. Its optimized capacitance profile (Ciss = 1000 pF, Coss = 65 pF, Crss = 1.5 pF) enables fast, low-loss switching under hard-switching conditions.
The integrated source-drain diode features 16 A continuous conduction capability, 1.5 V forward voltage at 16 A, and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 7 µC, IRRM = 34 A) suitable for quasi-resonant and LLC topologies. The device is 100% tested for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) up to 400 mJ at TJ = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input AC-DC converters up to 400 V RMS line. |
| RDS(on) max | 280 mΩ - ensures <1.8 W conduction loss at 16 A DC, enabling compact heatsink design. |
| Qg | 33 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables >100 kHz operation with standard 1-A drivers. |
| EAS | 400 mJ - provides robustness against transient overloads without external snubbers in flyback/LLC. |
| trr | 410 ns - limits diode switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and resonant circuits. |
| RthJC | 0.66 °C/W - allows 190 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above case, supporting high-power density layouts. |
| VGS(th) | 3–5 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5-V or 3.3-V logic-level controllers. |
Pinout & Package
STB23N80K5 is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain tab for enhanced thermal transfer. The package meets ECOPACK environmental compliance standards and is supplied in tape-and-reel format.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Tab) | Drain (main power terminal) | Electrically connected to the metal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | High-impedance control input; requires low-inductance routing and gate resistor (4.7 Ω typical) to damp ringing. |
| S (Pin 3) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; connects to power ground plane with minimal loop area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh K5 vertical superjunction structure | Reduces RDS(on) × Qg FoM by >40% vs. prior-generation 800 V MOSFETs, improving efficiency at 65–150 kHz. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated ±30 V gate-source clamp prevents ESD damage and overvoltage failure during layout or hot-swap events. |
| 100% UIS avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse energy up to 400 mJ, eliminating need for derating in inductive load applications. |
| Low Crss/Ciss ratio (1.5/1000 pF) | Minimizes Miller effect, enabling stable high-dV/dt operation (>50 V/ns) without spurious turn-on. |
| Optimized body diode | Soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 7 µC, trr = 410 ns) reduces EMI and stress on synchronous rectifiers in LLC converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20N80K5 | Same MDmesh K5 process, but 20 A/220 mΩ RDS(on) max, 170 W PTOT, identical 800 V rating and D²PAK package. | Lower current rating suits 1–1.5 kW designs where thermal margin is constrained; slightly lower Qg (28 nC) improves light-load efficiency. | Select when system peak current stays below 14 A and board space limits heatsink size. |
| IPP60R190C7 | Infineon CoolMOS C7, 600 V rating, 190 mΩ RDS(on), 31 nC Qg, TO-220FP package, no integrated Zener gate protection. | Limited to 380 V AC mains; lacks 100% UIS test and avalanche energy spec; higher RthJC (1.2 °C/W) demands larger heatsink. | Consider only for cost-sensitive 600 V designs where avalanche robustness is secondary and gate drive isolation is implemented externally. |
Compared with STW20N80K5, STB23N80K5 offers +3 A current headroom and +20 W power handling for same footprint; versus IPP60R190C7, it provides 200 V higher blocking voltage, integrated gate protection, and proven 400 mJ avalanche capability-critical for industrial and EV infrastructure reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STB23N80K5?
The STB23N80K5 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to 150 °C. Continuous operation at 150 °C requires strict thermal design: RthJC = 0.66 °C/W mandates ≤125 °C case-to-ambient rise for 190 W dissipation, achievable only with direct-tab mounting to ≥10 cm² copper area and forced airflow.
Does STB23N80K5 require external gate protection?
No-STB23N80K5 integrates a Zener diode between gate and source, clamping VGS to ±30 V. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most applications, though a series gate resistor (4.7 Ω) remains essential to control dV/dt-induced turn-on and suppress oscillation during fast switching.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky alternatives?
The integrated body diode delivers 1.5 V forward voltage at 16 A and 410 ns reverse recovery time at 25 °C-superior to standard silicon diodes but higher VF than 45 V Schottkys. It is not intended for synchronous rectification; instead, its soft recovery minimizes EMI in hard-switched topologies where external diodes would increase complexity and cost.
Can STB23N80K5 replace older STP22N80 or STW22N80 devices?
Yes-STB23N80K5 is a direct upgrade: it matches the 800 V rating and D²PAK package of STP22N80/STW22N80 but improves RDS(on) by 25% (280 → 230 mΩ typ.), cuts Qg by 30% (47 → 33 nC), and adds 100% UIS testing and Zener gate protection. No PCB redesign is needed; gate drive and thermal layout remain compatible.
