Product details
Overview
STD7N52DK3 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 525 V, 1.15 Ω (max), 6 A SuperFREDmesh3™ power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring Zener gate protection, 100% avalanche tested operation, and optimized for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STD7N52DK3 datasheet, STD7N52DK3 pinout, STD7N52DK3 application, or STD7N52DK3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V/ns dv/dt capability, 110 ns diode reverse recovery time at 150 °C, 33 nC total gate charge, and Rthj-case of 1.39 °C/W - critical for thermal design in compact, high-efficiency converters.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's SuperFREDmesh3™ process, integrating a fast-recovery body diode with low Qrr (0.44 µC typ. at 25 °C) and improved softness (trr = 140 ns max at 150 °C). Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–4.5 V) ensures robust noise immunity while enabling direct drive from standard 10 V gate drivers.
The built-in back-to-back Zener diodes clamp VGS to ±30 V, eliminating external gate protection components. Its 1.15 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 3 A, combined with 90 W PTOT, supports continuous conduction mode operation in 65–100 kHz flyback and boost topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 525 V - supports 380 V AC input rectified systems with ≥20% margin against surge transients |
| RDS(on) max | 1.15 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 3 A - enables <1.0 W conduction loss at 6 A RMS in PFC boost switches |
| Qg | 33 nC - reduces gate driver power demand and switching losses in high-frequency operation |
| trr | 110 ns (25 °C), 140 ns (150 °C) - minimizes diode recovery loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies |
| EAS | 110 mJ - provides unclamped inductive switching robustness without external snubbers |
| dv/dt | 20 V/ns - ensures reliable operation under fast-rising drain transients in high-noise environments |
| Rthj-case | 1.39 °C/W - allows >70 W dissipation with standard heatsink mounting on PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
STD7N52DK3 uses the DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. The 3-pin configuration places Drain (D) on the large metal tab (pin 2 and tab), Gate (G) on pin 1, and Source (S) on pin 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 10 V logic-level drive; protected by integrated 30 V Zener |
| Pin 2 + Tab (D) | Drain | Main high-side switching node; electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to control ground; forms source node for current sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener gate protection | Integrated ±30 V bidirectional clamping eliminates need for external TVS diodes on gate |
| SuperFREDmesh3™ diode | Soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 0.44 µC) reduces EMI and stress on primary-side capacitors |
| 100% avalanche rated | Guaranteed 110 mJ single-pulse energy withstand enables reliable unclamped inductive switching |
| Low Coss(er) | 74 pF energy-related output capacitance minimizes turn-off loss in high-voltage switching |
| High dv/dt immunity | 20 V/ns rating prevents false turn-on during fast drain transients in bridge configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STF7N52DK3 | Same die, TO-220FP package; Rthj-case = 5 °C/W vs. 1.39 °C/W; PTOT = 25 W | Suitable for lower-power, through-hole designs with heatsink mounting; not surface-mount compatible | Select when board space permits through-hole assembly and thermal management uses discrete heatsinks |
| IPP65R190CFD7 | 650 V, 190 mΩ, CoolMOS™ CFD7; lower RDS(on) but no integrated Zener; Qg = 42 nC | Better efficiency at light loads; requires external gate protection; higher cost | Prefer for ultra-high-efficiency server PSUs where gate drive complexity and cost are acceptable trade-offs |
Compared with STF7N52DK3, STD7N52DK3 offers 3.6× lower thermal resistance and surface-mount compatibility; versus IPP65R190CFD7, it trades higher RDS(on) for integrated gate protection and lower gate charge, simplifying layout in cost-sensitive industrial converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current (ID) for STD7N52DK3 at TC = 100 °C is 4 A, as specified in Table 1 of DS6515 Rev 3. This limit is set by junction temperature constraints and reflects derating from the 6 A rating at 25 °C case temperature.
Does STD7N52DK3 require external gate protection?
No - STD7N52DK3 integrates back-to-back Zener diodes between gate and source with a breakdown voltage of 30 V (±1 V tolerance), providing inherent overvoltage protection and eliminating the need for external gate clamp components in standard 10 V gate drive applications.
How does the SuperFREDmesh3™ body diode improve system performance?
The SuperFREDmesh3™ diode delivers soft reverse recovery with Qrr = 0.44 µC (typ.) and trr = 110 ns (25 °C), reducing voltage overshoot and EMI generation during turn-off. This enables smaller snubber networks and improves reliability in hard-switched topologies like boost PFC.
Can STD7N52DK3 be used in avalanche mode for energy recovery?
Yes - STD7N52DK3 is 100% avalanche tested with guaranteed EAS = 110 mJ (single pulse, TJ = 25 °C). It supports controlled unclamped inductive switching in applications such as relay driving or snubberless flyback designs, provided peak current and voltage remain within SOA limits.
