Product details
Overview
STL6N2VH5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel Power MOSFET optimized for high-efficiency switching in space-constrained applications, featuring 20 V VDS, 0.025 Ω RDS(on) (typ. at VGS = 4.5 V), 6 A continuous drain current, and PowerFLAT™ 2×2 package with exposed drain pad for thermal performance. It serves as a low-voltage power switch in DC-DC converters and load management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the STL6N2VH5 datasheet, STL6N2VH5 pinout, STL6N2VH5 application, or STL6N2VH5 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (0.7 V typ.), ultra-low gate charge (4.6 nC), thermal resistance (52 °C/W to PCB), and 2.5 V logic-level drive compatibility in compact power stages.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's STripFET™ V process to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 0.025 Ω RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive and 16 pF Crss enable fast, low-loss switching in high-frequency buck regulators and synchronous rectifiers.
The MOSFET integrates a robust body diode with 10 ns reverse recovery time and 24 nC Qrr, supporting efficient inductive load switching. Its ±8 V VGS rating and -55 to 150 °C operating junction temperature support industrial-grade reliability under transient stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - supports 12 V rail systems with margin against transients |
| RDS(on) | 0.025 Ω (typ. at VGS = 4.5 V) - enables <150 mW conduction loss at 6 A |
| Qg | 4.6 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching |
| ID (cont) | 6 A at Tpcb = 25 °C - suitable for medium-power point-of-load stages |
| Rthj-pcb | 52 °C/W - achieves <100 °C junction rise with 2.4 W dissipation on 1 in² FR-4 |
| VGS(th) | 0.7 V (typ.) - ensures turn-on with 2.5 V microcontroller GPIOs |
| Ciss | 367 pF - balances EMI control and switching speed in hard-switched topologies |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in PowerFLAT™ 2×2 package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.8 mm), with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB. Pin 1–3 and 6 are Drain; Pin 4 is Source; Pin 3 is Gate - confirmed per internal schematic and mechanical drawing Fig. 19.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; connected to exposed copper pad for thermal and electrical path |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; tied to power ground plane |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input; requires <4.6 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 2.5 V, enabling direct MCU interface without level-shifting |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.025 Ω typ. at 4.5 V reduces I²R loss by >30% vs. legacy 20 V MOSFETs in same footprint |
| Low Crss (16 pF) | Minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves dv/dt immunity in half-bridge layouts |
| Optimized body diode | 10 ns trr and 24 nC Qrr reduce switching loss and ringing in synchronous rectification |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | USB Power Delivery Switch |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω (VGS = 4.5 V); Qg = 5.2 nC; same PowerFLAT 2×2 package | Slightly higher conduction loss; identical thermal footprint | Preferred when dual sourcing required and 0.003 Ω RDS(on) margin is acceptable |
| AO3400 | RDS(on) = 0.026 Ω (VGS = 10 V); requires 4.5 V min. gate drive; SO-8 package | Larger footprint; higher Rthj-amb; no exposed drain pad | Selected only if SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and thermal derating to 4.5 A is acceptable |
Compared with DMN2020LFG-7 and AO3400, STL6N2VH5 delivers the lowest combined conduction-switching FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) in its class and superior thermal performance due to PowerFLAT™ 2×2's low-profile exposed drain, making it optimal for ultra-compact, high-density power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for STL6N2VH5 in a buck converter?
Based on measured 4.8 ns td(on), 14.4 ns tr, 17 ns td(off), and 4 ns tf, STL6N2VH5 supports reliable operation up to 2 MHz in hard-switched buck topologies with appropriate gate drive strength (≤10 Ω series resistance) and PCB layout minimizing loop inductance.
Can STL6N2VH5 be used in a synchronous rectifier configuration?
Yes - its 10 ns reverse recovery time, 24 nC Qrr, and low Crss (16 pF) make it suitable for synchronous rectification in 12 V–20 V secondary-side applications, provided gate timing avoids cross-conduction and the body diode is not subjected to unclamped inductive turn-off.
Is the PowerFLAT™ 2×2 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - STL6N2VH5 is supplied in ECOPACK®-compliant PowerFLAT™ 2×2 packaging, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free requirements per ST's published ECOPACK® grade definitions, with lead finish of matte tin on copper.
Does STL6N2VH5 require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 2.2–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen gate oscillation caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with Ciss (367 pF) and Crss (16 pF), especially when driven by high-speed microcontrollers or gate drivers with low output impedance.
