Product details
Overview
STB9NK80Z from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified, Zener-protected N-channel SuperMESH Power MOSFET in D²PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 800 V drain-source voltage, 1.8 Ω max RDS(on), and 5.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It delivers high dv/dt immunity and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness for automotive and industrial high-voltage switching.
For engineers reviewing the STB9NK80Z datasheet, STB9NK80Z pinout, STB9NK80Z application, or STB9NK80Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt capability, 210 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, 40 nC total gate charge, and Zener-protected gate structure - all critical for flyback, PFC, and SMPS designs operating under harsh transients.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's SuperMESH process - an optimized evolution of PowerMESH - to simultaneously reduce on-resistance and intrinsic capacitance while maintaining robust avalanche performance. Its Zener-protected gate ensures ±30 V VGS tolerance and ESD immunity up to 4 kV (HBM).
The MOSFET supports unclamped inductive switching with verified 5.2 A repetitive avalanche current and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its low Ciss (1138 pF typ.) and minimized Qg (40 nC) enable fast, efficient hard-switching in high-frequency converters up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - Supports primary-side switching in offline 400 V AC–DC and 800 V DC bus applications without derating. |
| RDS(on) max | 1.8 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 2.6 A - Enables low conduction loss in <5 A medium-power SMPS stages. |
| ID cont. (TC = 25 °C) | 5.2 A - Sustains continuous load in thermally managed TO-263-mount designs with RthJC = 1 °C/W. |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Guarantees reliable operation during unclamped inductive turn-off events in PFC and flyback topologies. |
| dv/dt (peak) | 4.5 V/ns - Prevents spurious turn-on in high-noise environments such as motor drives and industrial inverters. |
| Qg | 40 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers (e.g., STGAP2SIC). |
| VGS(th) | 3.0–4.5 V - Ensures clean logic-level compatibility with 5 V microcontrollers and avoids marginal turn-on near 3.3 V rails. |
Pinout & Package
STB9NK80Z is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain tab for thermal enhancement. The three-terminal configuration places Drain on the large metal tab (Pin 2), Gate on Pin 1, and Source on Pin 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 10 V drive for full enhancement; Zener-clamped to ±30 V for overvoltage protection. |
| Pin 2 (D / TAB) | Drain (exposed tab) | Main high-voltage power terminal; electrically connected to heatsink; requires isolation if mounted to chassis ground. |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; ties to low-side switch node or current-sense resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HTRB, etc.). |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit undergoes unclamped inductive switching verification at IAR = 5.2 A and EAS = 210 mJ. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate-body Zener clamps VGS to ±30 V, eliminating need for external gate protection components. |
| Low Coss eq. | 50 pF equivalent output capacitance reduces switching loss during zero-voltage transition and improves efficiency above 100 kHz. |
| High dv/dt immunity | 4.5 V/ns rating prevents false triggering in noisy high-dV/dt circuits like LLC resonant converters and half-bridge inverters. |
Applications
| Automotive Onboard Charger (OBC) | Industrial Flyback Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switching in 3.3 kW bidirectional OBCs with 800 V battery architecture.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW9NK80Z | Same die, but in TO-247 package; higher RthJA (40 °C/W vs 62.5 °C/W), no exposed tab for solder mounting. | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or forced-air-cooled industrial UPS where mechanical robustness outweighs PCB space constraints. | Select when board-level thermal management is impractical and discrete heatsink mounting is preferred. |
| FQP8N80C | Non-automotive grade; RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω typ. but not avalanche-tested; no Zener gate protection; VGS rating only ±20 V. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer adapters but lacks AEC-Q101 validation and fails under repetitive avalanche stress. | Use only in non-safety-critical, low-duty-cycle applications where transient immunity is not required. |
Compared with STW9NK80Z and FQP8N80C, STB9NK80Z uniquely combines automotive qualification, Zener gate protection, and D²PAK thermal performance - making it the only choice for space-constrained, high-reliability 800 V switching where board-level thermal design and transient immunity are co-optimized.

FAQ
Is STB9NK80Z suitable for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies?
Yes. With Coss eq. = 50 pF and low Qgd/Qgs ratio (21 nC / 7 nC), STB9NK80Z enables reliable ZVS in LLC resonant converters operating up to 300 kHz. Its 4.5 V/ns dv/dt rating prevents false turn-on during resonant transitions, and the Zener-protected gate withstands the voltage spikes common in resonant tank ringing.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for driving STB9NK80Z in a 100 kHz flyback?
For 100 kHz operation with 40 nC Qg, a 10 Ω gate resistor limits peak current to ~1 A and achieves ~100 ns turn-on delay - well within safe SOA limits. Higher values (>22 Ω) increase switching loss and risk thermal runaway at full load; lower values (<4.7 Ω) require ≥2 A peak driver capability to avoid overshoot.
Does STB9NK80Z require external gate protection when used with a 12 V microcontroller?
No. Its integrated Zener clamps gate-to-source voltage to ±30 V, fully covering 12 V drive with margin. No external TVS or resistors are needed unless the gate trace exceeds 5 cm in length or runs parallel to high-dV/dt nodes - in which case a 100 Ω series resistor suffices for EMI suppression.
Can STB9NK80Z replace STP9NK80Z in existing designs?
Yes, with identical pinout and electrical specs, but STB9NK80Z offers enhanced AEC-Q101 qualification and 100% avalanche testing - whereas STP9NK80Z is legacy TO-220 and not automotive-qualified. Layout remains compatible, but thermal pad soldering must be verified for D²PAK footprint alignment and void control.
