Product details
Overview
STD17NF03L-1 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 30V Power MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching with RDS(on) ≤ 0.05 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 17 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 100% avalanche tested for ruggedness-used in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and power supply OR-ing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the STD17NF03L-1 datasheet, STD17NF03L-1 pinout, STD17NF03L-1 application, or STD17NF03L-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (4.8 nC), exceptional dv/dt capability (7 V/ns), thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 5.0 °C/W), and verified unclamped inductive switching performance.
Technical Context
This STripFET™ II MOSFET employs a single-feature-size strip-based process to achieve high cell density and low on-resistance while maintaining robust avalanche energy rating (EAS = 200 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–2.2 V) enables reliable 5 V logic-level drive, and source-drain diode recovery is characterized with trr = 28 ns and Qrr = 18 nC under defined inductive conditions.
The device is rated for operation up to Tj = 175°C, features ±16 V gate-source voltage tolerance, and delivers stable RDS(on) over temperature (normalized to 1.5× at 125°C). Its safe operating area (SOA) is validated for pulse widths up to 10 ms at 17 A and 30 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V industrial bus systems and automotive 12 V/24 V architectures. |
| RDS(on) | ≤0.05 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 17 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (cont) | 17 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current load switching without external heatsinking in moderate-duty cycles. |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy ensures reliability during inductive turn-off transients. |
| Qg | 4.8 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power demand and switching losses in high-frequency SMPS. |
| dv/dt | 7 V/ns - High immunity to parasitic turn-on in noisy environments such as motor drives and solenoid control. |
| Rthj-case | 5.0 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to metal-core PCBs or small heatsinks for thermal management in space-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
STD17NF03L-1 uses the TO-251 (IPAK) package: a 3-pin, surface-mount variant of TO-252 with isolated tab (drain-connected), no exposed metal pad, and lead-free ECOPACK® compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Low-side return path; electrically tied to PCB ground plane for minimal loop inductance in switching nodes. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOSFET gate requiring <2.25 nC charge to reach threshold; sensitive to ESD and layout-induced ringing. |
| 3 (Drain) | Power output / heat sink interface | Internally connected to molded tab; must be routed to high-current traces and thermally coupled to copper pour or heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| STripFET™ II process | Enables 0.038 Ω typical RDS(on) in IPAK, improving power density vs. first-generation strip FETs by >25%. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for unclamped inductive switching at rated current/voltage, eliminating need for external snubbers in many applications. |
| Low gate charge at 100°C | Qg remains stable up to junction temperature of 100°C, ensuring consistent switching timing in thermally stressed environments. |
| Application-oriented characterization | SOA, diode recovery (trr, Qrr), and dv/dt performance measured under real-world inductive load conditions-not just DC specs. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Primary Switch | Brushed DC Motor Driver (H-Bridge Low-Side) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronous buck converter operating at 200–500 kHz with 12 V input and 3.3/5 V output for FPGA or microcontroller power rails. IC Role / Device Role: High-side or low-side power switch handling peak currents up to 17 A with minimal conduction and switching loss. Use Value: RDS(on) ≤ 0.05 Ω and Qg = 4.8 nC enable >92% efficiency at 10 A load while limiting die temperature rise to <45°C above ambient. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional 24 V brushed motor control in industrial actuators, with PWM frequency ≥10 kHz and stall current ≤15 A. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side switch in H-bridge configuration, sinking motor current during active decay and freewheeling via internal body diode. Use Value: Verified trr = 28 ns and Qrr = 18 nC reduce shoot-through risk and EMI during commutation, supporting clean PWM edges. |
| Hot-Swap / OR-ing Controller | Industrial Solenoid / Relay Driver |
Use Scenario: Redundant 24 V power supply OR-ing in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), requiring fast fault isolation and low forward drop. IC Role / Device Role: Back-to-back configured MOSFET acting as ideal diode replacement with controlled turn-on/turn-off. Use Value: Low VGS(th) (1.0–2.2 V) allows precise gate control using dedicated OR-ing ICs; RDS(on) minimizes voltage drop (<0.85 V at 17 A). | Use Scenario: Driving 24 V/12 W solenoids in factory automation I/O modules, with 100 ms ON time and 1 Hz duty cycle. IC Role / Device Role: Single-ended switch controlling solenoid coil current, absorbing inductive kickback via avalanche-rated drain-source junction. Use Value: EAS = 200 mJ eliminates need for external flyback diodes in most cases, reducing BOM count and board area. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 30 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF3708PBF | RDS(on) = 0.023 Ω @ 10 V but higher Qg = 22 nC; TO-220 package only. | Requires larger heatsink due to TO-220 thermal resistance; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs. | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) outweighs gate drive complexity and board area constraints. |
| STP16NF03L | Same VDS/RDS(on) spec but DPAK package; lower ID rating (16 A vs. 17 A); identical STripFET II process. | Compatible footprint for rework but slightly reduced current margin; same SOA and avalanche rating. | Choose for DPAK-compatible layouts where IPAK mechanical fit is unavailable or thermal path differs. |
Compared with IRF3708PBF and STP16NF03L, STD17NF03L-1 uniquely balances low gate charge (4.8 nC), IPAK SMT compatibility, and 17 A current rating-making it optimal for compact, high-frequency, thermally sensitive switching where driver efficiency and layout density are prioritized.

FAQ
Is STD17NF03L-1 suitable for 5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes. With a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0–2.2 V and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 0.05 Ω at VGS = 5 V (0.045–0.06 Ω), it fully supports direct drive from standard 5 V microcontrollers and gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 12 A continuous at TC = 100°C. This derating reflects thermal limits of the IPAK package (Rthj-case = 5.0 °C/W) and ensures safe operation within the 175°C maximum junction temperature.
Does STD17NF03L-1 have a built-in body diode, and is it optimized for reverse recovery?
Yes. It integrates a fast, avalanche-rated source-drain diode with trr = 28 ns and Qrr = 18 nC at Tj = 150°C, di/dt = 100 A/µs, and VDD = 15 V-validated for use in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths without external diodes.
How does STD17NF03L-1 differ from STD17NF03L?
STD17NF03L-1 is the IPAK (TO-251) variant, while STD17NF03L is the DPAK (TO-252) version. Both share identical electrical specs, but differ mechanically: IPAK has a smaller footprint, isolated tab, and different thermal path-requiring distinct PCB land patterns and heatsinking strategies.
