Product details
Overview
STB25N80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 800 V, 19.5 A high-voltage power MOSFET based on MDmesh K5 technology, featuring 190 mΩ typ. RDS(on), 40 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche tested. It serves as a primary switching device in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial inverters operating up to 150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the STB25N80K5 datasheet, STB25N80K5 pinout, STB25N80K5 application, or STB25N80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low FoM (RDS(on) × Qg = 7.6 Ω·nC), Zener-protected gate, and D²PAK package thermal performance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary MDmesh K5 vertical superjunction architecture to achieve simultaneous reduction in conduction loss and switching loss. Its 800 V V(BR)DSS rating supports universal AC input (85–265 VAC) with margin for transient overvoltage in telecom and industrial power supplies.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 515 ns at 25 °C, 615 ns at 150 °C) and is rated for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 200 mJ - enabling robust operation in hard-switched flyback and resonant LLC topologies without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 800 V - Withstands peak line voltage + surge in 400 VDC bus applications without breakdown. |
| RDS(on) max | 260 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 10 A - Limits conduction loss to ≤ 52 W at 19.5 A, critical for thermal management in compact designs. |
| Qg | 40 nC - Enables fast turn-on with low drive power; reduces gate driver losses in high-frequency (>100 kHz) PFC stages. |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Sustains single-pulse inductive energy without failure, eliminating need for external clamping in flyback snubberless designs. |
| trr | 515 ns - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI generation during diode commutation in bridge-leg configurations. |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - Enables 250 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case-to-junction rise, supporting high-power density in D²PAK-mount PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
STB25N80K5 is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. The package complies with ECOPACK environmental standards and features 3 terminals: Drain (Tab), Gate (Pin 1), Source (Pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path collector / heat sink interface | Exposed copper tab provides low-inductance, low-thermal-resistance path to PCB copper pour or heatsink; electrically connected to drain. |
| Gate (Pin 1) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; Zener-protected to ±30 V to prevent ESD-induced gate oxide rupture during handling or layout transients. |
| Source (Pin 3) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; must be routed with minimal inductance to avoid oscillation and false turn-on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate charge | Qg = 40 nC enables <500 ns turn-on with 100 Ω gate resistor, reducing switching loss in 100–300 kHz SMPS. |
| Very low FoM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 7.6 Ω·nC - benchmark figure of merit for high-voltage MOSFETs; directly improves power density vs. legacy K3/K4 devices. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated 30 V bidirectional Zener clamp prevents gate-source overvoltage beyond absolute maximum rating during layout or ESD events. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse EAS = 200 mJ - guarantees ruggedness in unclamped inductive switching without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP25N80K5 | Same die, TO-220 package; RthJC = 3.1 °C/W vs. 0.5 °C/W for STB25N80K5. | Lower power density; suitable for lower-current (<12 A continuous) or forced-air-cooled designs. | Select when mechanical mounting constraints favor through-hole or when thermal budget allows higher junction rise. |
| IPW65R041CFD7 | 650 V rating, 41 mΩ RDS(on), 61 nC Qg; Infineon CoolMOS CFD7 technology. | Not rated for 800 V systems; requires derating in universal-input PFC; superior efficiency only below 400 VDC bus. | Choose only for 380–400 VDC bus applications where lower conduction loss outweighs voltage margin loss. |
Compared with STP25N80K5, STB25N80K5 delivers 6.2× better thermal resistance and 30% lower switching loss in surface-mount high-power layouts; versus IPW65R041CFD7, it provides essential 800 V rating for surge-immune industrial mains interfaces but trades 15% higher RDS(on) for system-level reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for STB25N80K5 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 12.3 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS9179 Rev 4. This rating accounts for thermal derating due to reduced channel conductivity and increased RDS(on) at elevated temperatures, ensuring SOA compliance under sustained load conditions.
Does STB25N80K5 require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. STB25N80K5 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 3–5 V and is fully enhanced at VGS = 10 V. A gate drive of 0 V is sufficient for turn-off; applying negative voltage is unnecessary and not required by the datasheet for normal operation or noise immunity.
Can STB25N80K5 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (shown in Figure 7) enables inherent current sharing. However, matched gate drive layout, identical PCB trace inductance, and individual gate resistors are mandatory to ensure balanced dynamic current distribution and avoid oscillation or thermal runaway.
Is the body diode of STB25N80K5 suitable for synchronous rectification?
No. The body diode is optimized for freewheeling, not reverse conduction. Its VSD = 1.5 V at 19.5 A and trr > 500 ns result in high conduction and recovery losses. For synchronous rectification, an external Schottky or MOSFET with dedicated low-VF and fast trr is required.
