Product details
Overview
STL4LN80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 800 V, 2.1 Ω typ. RDS(on), 3 A continuous drain current Power MOSFET using MDmesh™ K5 technology in PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV package. It delivers ultra-low gate charge (4 nC), 100% avalanche tested ruggedness, and integrated Zener-protected gate for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS and industrial AC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STL4LN80K5 datasheet, STL4LN80K5 pinout, STL4LN80K5 application, or STL4LN80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V VDS, 2.6 Ω max RDS(on) at 10 V VGS, 3.3 °C/W Rthj-case, Zener-protected gate, and 15 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt rating under ISD ≤ 3 A conditions.
Technical Context
This device employs ST's proprietary vertical MDmesh™ K5 structure to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 110 pF Ciss, 9.5 pF Coss, and 0.4 pF Crss enable fast, low-loss hard-switching up to 400 V bus voltage with 4.7 Ω gate resistor.
The built-in back-to-back Zener diodes clamp gate-source voltage to ±30 V, eliminating external protection components. The device is rated for 12 A pulsed drain current and operates safely from –55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input 85–265 VAC offline converters without derating |
| RDS(on) max | 2.6 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 1.2 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 3 A DC |
| ID cont @ TC = 25 °C | 3 A - suitable for 30–50 W flyback or 60–80 W PSR-based adapters |
| Qg | 4 nC - reduces gate drive power and EMI in 65–130 kHz SMPS designs |
| Rthj-case | 3.3 °C/W - allows 38 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case rise above ambient |
| V(BR)GS0 | ±30 V - Zener clamping protects gate oxide during layout parasitic transients |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns @ VDS ≤ 640 V - ensures reliable operation during fast inductive turn-off |
Pinout & Package
STL4LN80K5 uses the PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical performance. The 8-pin configuration features dual-source and quad-drain terminals for low-inductance, high-current routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source | Low-inductance parallel connection to PCB ground plane; shared return path for 3 A load current |
| 4 | Gate | Control input requiring <4 nC charge; isolated from drain by Zener-protected gate oxide |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain | High-voltage output node tied to 800 V bus; thermally connected to exposed copper pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ K5 vertical structure | Reduces RDS(on) × area by >30% vs. prior-generation 800 V MOSFETs, enabling smaller heatsinks |
| Ultra-low Qg (4 nC) | Enables use of low-power gate drivers (e.g., STGAP2S) without Miller-induced shoot-through risk |
| Zener-protected gate | Eliminates need for external gate clamp diodes in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees robustness against unclamped inductive switching events in relay drivers and PFC stages |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Adapters | LED Streetlight Drivers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 100 W open-frame power supply for factory automation sensors operating from 3-phase 400 VAC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switch in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter running at 100 kHz. Use Value: 2.6 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to 2.3 W at full load; 3.3 °C/W Rthj-case enables natural-convection cooling. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for outdoor 150 W streetlights with surge immunity to 6 kV line transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in active PFC + LLC resonant stage handling 800 V DC link. Use Value: 800 V VDS rating avoids series stacking; Zener protection sustains gate integrity during lightning-induced common-mode spikes. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch in 50 kHz SPWM inverter stage driving transformer-isolated output. Use Value: 12 A pulsed ID capability handles 3× overload surges; 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness prevents false turn-on during bus collapse. | Use Scenario: Solid-state contactor for 3 kW three-phase induction motor control in HVAC compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Phase-leg switch in 16 kHz six-step inverter with snubberless operation. Use Value: Integrated source-drain diode (VSD = 1.6 V) provides freewheeling path; avalanche rating absorbs energy from motor inductance at turn-off. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTP3N80P | 800 V, 3.5 Ω RDS(on) max, TO-220 package, no integrated Zener | Requires external gate clamp; higher conduction loss increases heatsink size by ~40% | Prefer when through-hole mounting or legacy footprint compatibility is required |
| IPP60R190C7 | 650 V, 190 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220FP, CoolMOS™ C7, no Zener | Lower voltage rating requires derating below 400 VAC input; needs external protection | Choose only for 230 VAC-only systems where efficiency >85% at light load is critical |
Compared with IXTP3N80P and IPP60R190C7, STL4LN80K5 uniquely combines 800 V rating, Zener gate protection, and surface-mount PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV packaging-enabling compact, surge-resilient, and assembly-optimized designs for universal-input industrial power.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for STL4LN80K5 in continuous conduction mode?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage is 800 V, but for reliable long-term operation in continuous conduction mode, ST recommends limiting VDS to ≤640 V per the dv/dt ruggedness specification. This ensures immunity to spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients while maintaining SOA compliance at full current and temperature.
Does STL4LN80K5 require an external gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a minimum 4.7 Ω gate resistor is recommended per the datasheet's switching time test circuit. This value balances turn-on speed, EMI suppression, and gate oscillation damping. Lower values may cause ringing due to interaction with 18 Ω intrinsic gate resistance and PCB trace inductance, especially at >100 kHz switching frequencies.
Can STL4LN80K5 replace older MDmesh™ K3 or K4 devices in existing designs?
Yes, with verification of gate drive strength and thermal margin. STL4LN80K5 offers lower RDS(on) and Qg than K3/K4 equivalents, reducing both conduction and switching losses. However, its 5x6 mm footprint differs from legacy PowerFLAT™ 8x8 or TO-220 packages, requiring PCB layout revision for drop-in replacement.
Is the source-drain diode suitable for freewheeling in synchronous rectification?
No-the integrated body diode has 1.6 V forward voltage and unspecified reverse recovery characteristics at high di/dt. It is intended only for clamping and limited freewheeling in non-critical paths. For synchronous rectification, a dedicated low-VF Schottky or MOSFET with controlled Qrr must be used externally.
