Product details
Overview
STL26N65DM2 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET in the MDmesh™ DM2 series, featuring 650 V VDS, 0.206 Ω RDS(on) max at 10 V VGS, 20 A continuous drain current, 140 W power dissipation, and fast-recovery body diode with 100 ns trr at 25 °C. It serves as a primary switching device in high-efficiency bridge and ZVS phase-shift converters.
For engineers reviewing the STL26N65DM2 datasheet, STL26N65DM2 pinout, STL26N65DM2 application, or STL26N65DM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (530 mJ EAS), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), low gate charge (35.5 nC), and Zener-protected gate-source integrity.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh™ DM2 superjunction technology to achieve simultaneous low RDS(on) (0.182 Ω typ.) and ultra-low Qrr (0.365 µC at 25 °C). Its fast-recovery body diode enables hard-switched and resonant topologies without external freewheeling diodes.
The integrated back-to-back gate-source Zener diodes provide ±30 V breakdown protection, eliminating need for external clamping. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 0.89 °C/W, supporting high-power density PCB layouts with direct heatsinking via the exposed drain pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - supports 400 V bus designs with 30% margin for transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) max | 0.206 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤82 W at 20 A, enabling compact thermal design |
| Qg | 35.5 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables use of low-current drivers (e.g., 1 A peak) |
| trr | 100 ns at 25 °C - minimizes switching loss and EMI in 100–300 kHz converters |
| EAS | 530 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy without failure under typical ZVS conditions |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - ensures reliable operation during fast voltage transients in half-bridge configurations |
| V(BR)GSO | ±30 V - protects gate oxide from ESD and overvoltage events without external components |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PowerFLAT™ 8x8 HV package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The 5-terminal layout supports high-current source return paths and low-inductance gate routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (5) | Main power output terminal | Exposed copper pad - must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal and current handling |
| Gate (1) | Control input | Low-capacitance node (Ciss = 1480 pF) requiring controlled slew-rate drive to limit ringing |
| Driver source (2) | Reference for gate driver IC | Separate Kelvin source pin - enables accurate gate voltage sensing and eliminates source inductance effects |
| Power source (3, 4) | Main current return path | Dual-source terminals reduce parasitic inductance and improve current sharing in high-frequency switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | Qrr = 0.365 µC and trr = 100 ns enable zero-voltage switching without external diode |
| Extremely low gate charge | Qg = 35.5 nC reduces driver losses and allows smaller gate resistors (e.g., 4.7 Ω) |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for 530 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy at Tj = 25 °C |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated ±30 V gate-source Zener diodes eliminate need for external TVS clamps |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | Rated 50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on in high-side bridge configurations |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH26N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, no integrated Zener protection | Requires external gate clamp; higher conduction loss increases thermal load at 20 A | Preferred where gate drive circuit already includes TVS and board space is constrained |
| IPW65R041CFD7 | RDS(on) = 0.041 Ω, Qrr = 0.29 µC, TO-247-4 package | Larger footprint and higher cost; superior conduction but less optimized for ZVS timing control | Selected when lowest RDS(on) dominates over layout density and gate drive simplicity |
Compared with IXTH26N65X2 and IPW65R041CFD7, STL26N65DM2 offers optimal balance of low Qg, integrated gate protection, and fast diode recovery-making it uniquely suited for compact, high-frequency ZVS designs where gate drive simplicity and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STL26N65DM2?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is 150 °C, as defined in Table 1 of DS12623. Continuous operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation of the silicon die and bond wires. Derating is required above 100 °C case temperature, where ID drops to 12.6 A per the datasheet's thermal derating curve.
Does STL26N65DM2 require an external gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 4.7 Ω) is required to dampen oscillation and control switching speed. The datasheet specifies td(on)/td(off) values measured with RG = 4.7 Ω, and omitting it causes excessive ringing due to interaction between Qg (35.5 nC), Ciss (1480 pF), and PCB trace inductance.
Can STL26N65DM2 replace older MDmesh™ DM1 devices in existing designs?
Yes - it is a direct drop-in replacement for STL26N65DM1 with identical pinout, package, and voltage rating. Key improvements include 15% lower RDS(on), 25% lower Qrr, and enhanced dv/dt ruggedness, enabling higher efficiency without layout changes.
Is the PowerFLAT™ 8x8 HV package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the device carries ECOPACK®2 compliance, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The package uses matte tin plating on copper leads and halogen-free molding compound, verified per ST's published environmental documentation.
