Product details
Overview
STD3NK80Z-1 from STMicroelectronics is a Zener-protected N-channel SuperMESH Power MOSFET rated for 800 V drain-source voltage, 3.6 Ω typical RDS(on), and 2.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features 100% avalanche testing, minimized gate charge (19 nC), and low output capacitance (Coss = 57 pF), enabling robust high-voltage switching in offline SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STD3NK80Z-1 datasheet, STD3NK80Z-1 pinout, STD3NK80Z-1 application, or STD3NK80Z-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5 V/ns dv/dt capability, 170 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, Zener-protected gate, and DPAK (TO-252) thermal resistance of 1.78 °C/W junction-to-case.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's SuperMESH technology - an evolution of PowerMESH - to simultaneously reduce on-resistance and enhance dv/dt ruggedness. Its Zener-protected gate structure withstands ±30 V transient stress, and intrinsic capacitances (Ciss = 485 pF, Crss = 11 pF) are optimized for fast, low-loss switching in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits 1.6 V forward voltage at 2.5 A and 384 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C), supporting quasi-resonant and flyback converter designs where diode recovery behavior directly impacts EMI and efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - Supports primary-side switching in universal-input AC-DC converters up to 380 V DC bus. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 3.6 Ω - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 2.5 A, suitable for <65 W offline adapters. |
| Qg | 19 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use with low-current controllers like L6565. |
| EAS | 170 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure in flyback snubberless designs. |
| RthJC | 1.78 °C/W - Allows 70 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise over case, compatible with standard DPAK heatsinking. |
| dv/dt rating | 4.5 V/ns - Ensures noise immunity and prevents spurious turn-on in high-dV/dt environments like PFC stages. |
| VGS(th) | 3.0–4.5 V - Compatible with 5 V and 12 V gate drivers; avoids false triggering near logic thresholds. |
Pinout & Package
STD3NK80Z-1 is housed in a DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. The plastic body provides creepage/clearance compliance for reinforced insulation in Class II systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; Zener-clamped to ±30 V for ESD robustness. |
| 2 (D / TAB) | Drain / Heat Sink Pad | Main high-voltage power path; electrically connected to metal tab for low-inductance, low-thermal-resistance mounting. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return and reference node; ties to ground or switching node depending on topology (e.g., low-side switch). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse energy handling up to 170 mJ without parameter shift or failure. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated bidirectional Zener clamps gate-source voltage to ±30 V, eliminating need for external TVS. |
| Low Coss (57 pF) | Reduces turn-off losses and improves light-load efficiency in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flybacks. |
| High dv/dt immunity (4.5 V/ns) | Prevents parasitic turn-on during rapid voltage transients in bridge-leg or PFC applications. |
| SuperMESH cell architecture | Delivers 20% lower RDS(on) vs prior PowerMESH while maintaining same die size and voltage rating. |
Applications
| Offline AC-DC Adapters | Flyback Converters |
|---|---|

Use Value: 4.5 V/ns dv/dt rating prevents false triggering from high dV/dt coupling across transformer interwinding capacitance. |
| LED Driver Power Stages | Industrial HV DC-DC Modules |
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP3NK80Z | TO-220 package; identical electrical specs but higher RthJA (62 °C/W vs 50 °C/W) and no tape-and-reel option. | Better suited for prototyping or low-volume open-frame supplies where manual heatsinking is feasible. | Select when board space allows TO-220 mounting and volume procurement is not required. |
| IPP60R190C6 | 600 V rating, 190 mΩ RDS(on), CoolMOS™ technology; lower Qg (13 nC) but no built-in Zener protection. | Optimized for high-frequency (≥100 kHz) resonant converters; requires external gate clamp and fails at 650 V DC bus. | Choose only if operating below 600 V and prioritizing switching loss over ruggedness and simplicity. |
Compared with STP3NK80Z and IPP60R190C6, STD3NK80Z-1 uniquely combines 800 V rating, Zener gate protection, DPAK tape-and-reel compatibility, and 100% avalanche screening - making it the most robust, production-ready choice for cost-sensitive, safety-critical offline SMPS.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STD3NK80Z-1 supports 1.57 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS3337 Rev 8. This derating reflects thermal limits under natural convection on a standard FR-4 PCB with 1-inch² copper pour, ensuring safe operation without active cooling in enclosed adapters.
Does this MOSFET require an external gate Zener diode?
No. STD3NK80Z-1 integrates a bidirectional gate-source Zener diode rated for ±30 V, verified per JEDEC JESD22-A114. This eliminates the need for external clamping components in typical gate-drive circuits, simplifying layout and improving reliability in surge-prone environments.
Can STD3NK80Z-1 replace STD3NK80ZT4 in production?
Yes - STD3NK80Z-1 and STD3NK80ZT4 are identical in silicon, package, and electrical specifications. The "-1" suffix denotes the same DPAK (TO-252) type A variant with tape-and-reel packaging; both share DS3337 Rev 8 as their official datasheet and are fully interchangeable in design and manufacturing.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for thermal performance?
ST recommends the footprint defined in Figure 22 of DS3337 Rev 8: a 1-inch² (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm) copper area connected to the drain tab via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or plated). This achieves the stated RthJA = 50 °C/W and supports full 70 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.
