Product details
Overview
STD2NK90Z-1 from STMicroelectronics is a Zener-protected N-channel SuperMESH Power MOSFET rated for 900 V drain-source voltage, 4.7 Ω typical RDS(on), and 2.1 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features 100% avalanche testing, minimized gate charge (19.5–27 nC), and ultra-low output capacitance (Coss = 50 pF), enabling high-voltage flyback and resonant SMPS designs in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STD2NK90Z-1 datasheet, STD2NK90Z-1 pinout, STD2NK90Z-1 application, or STD2NK90Z-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 900 V VDS, 1.78 °C/W RthJC, 4.5 V/ns dv/dt capability, 150 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and DPAK (TO-252) thermal performance under continuous conduction mode.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's SuperMESH process - an evolution of PowerMESH - delivering reduced on-resistance while maintaining robust dv/dt immunity (4.5 V/ns) and intrinsic Zener gate protection. Its low Ciss (485 pF) and Crss (10 pF) support fast switching with minimal Miller effect in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits 1.6 V forward voltage at 2.1 A and 415 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C), making it suitable for self-oscillating flyback converters where body diode conduction occurs during reset phase.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 900 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline SMPS up to 380 V DC bus with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 6.5 Ω - defines conduction loss at full load; typ. 4.7 Ω enables <1.5 W I²R loss at 2.1 A. |
| Qg | 19.5–27 nC - determines gate drive power and switching speed; low value reduces driver stress in high-frequency operation. |
| EAS | 150 mJ - ensures reliable unclamped inductive switching survival without external snubbers in flyback designs. |
| RthJC | 1.78 °C/W - enables 70 W dissipation with modest heatsinking; critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| dv/dt rating | 4.5 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on in high-noise environments like motor drives or PFC stages. |
| Coss | 50 pF - minimizes capacitive turn-off losses and improves efficiency in quasi-resonant converters. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; surface-mount, single-ended layout optimized for high-voltage isolation and PCB heat spreading.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 10 V logic-level drive; Zener-protected ±30 V rating prevents ESD damage. |
| 2 (D / TAB) | Drain / Thermal Pad | Main high-voltage output node; electrically and thermally connected to large copper area on PCB. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connects to ground or current-sense resistor in low-side configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees ruggedness in unclamped inductive switching; eliminates need for external clamping circuits in flyback transformers. |
| SuperMESH technology | Delivers 25% lower RDS(on) vs prior PowerMESH generation while preserving breakdown integrity and switching speed. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated bidirectional 30 V Zener clamp protects against gate oxide rupture during layout transients or hot-plug events. |
| Low Ciss/Crss ratio | 485 pF / 10 pF = 48.5 - suppresses Miller-induced oscillation and enables stable operation with moderate gate resistance (4.7 Ω). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2NK90Z | TO-220 package; identical electrical specs but higher RthJA (60 °C/W vs 50 °C/W) and no tape-and-reel option. | Better suited for prototyping or low-volume heatsink-mounted designs; not SMT-compatible. | Select when manual assembly or discrete heatsinking is preferred over automated PCB assembly. |
| FQP9N90C | 900 V, 8.5 Ω RDS(on) max, 2.5 A ID, higher Qg (32 nC), no Zener gate protection. | Lacks integrated gate protection and has 30% higher conduction loss; requires external gate clamp. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and board space permits external protection components. |
Compared with STP2NK90Z and FQP9N90C, STD2NK90Z-1 offers superior manufacturability (DPAK tape-and-reel), guaranteed avalanche ruggedness, and integrated gate protection - critical for production-grade industrial power supplies where field failure modes must be eliminated at component level.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STD2NK90Z-1?
The device is rated for TJ = 150 °C maximum, with derated current capability above TC = 25 °C. At TC = 100 °C, continuous drain current drops to 1.3 A per absolute maximum ratings table. Thermal design must maintain junction temperature below this limit using the specified RthJC = 1.78 °C/W path to heatsink or PCB copper.
Does STD2NK90Z-1 require an external gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 4.7 Ω gate resistor is recommended per the datasheet's resistive load switching test circuit. This value balances switching speed (21 ns td(on), 43 ns td(off)) against ringing suppression and gate driver stress, especially given its low Crss (10 pF) and high dv/dt immunity.
Can STD2NK90Z-1 replace STD2NK90ZT4 in existing designs?
Yes - STD2NK90Z-1 and STD2NK90ZT4 are functionally identical; the "-1" suffix denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant per ST's internal ordering system. Electrical characteristics, package dimensions, pinout, and thermal data are fully interchangeable.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous conduction in synchronous rectification?
No - the source-drain diode is optimized for flyback reset, not synchronous rectification. Its 1.6 V forward drop and 415 ns trr cause excessive conduction and recovery losses above ~50 kHz. External Schottky or MOSFET synchronous rectifiers are required for high-efficiency secondary-side regulation.
