Product details
Overview
STL7LN80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 800 V, 0.95 Ω typ. RDS(on), 5 A Power MOSFET using MDmesh™ K5 vertical structure in PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV package. It delivers ultra-low gate charge (12 nC), 100% avalanche tested performance, and integrated Zener-protected gate for robust switching in high-voltage AC-DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STL7LN80K5 datasheet, STL7LN80K5 pinout, STL7LN80K5 application, or STL7LN80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V VDS, 0.95 Ω typ. RDS(on), 12 nC total gate charge, 3 °C/W Rthj-case, and built-in gate-source Zener protection at ±30 V.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary MDmesh™ K5 technology - a high-voltage vertical superjunction architecture enabling reduced on-resistance per die area and minimized output capacitance (Coss = 22 pF). Its optimized charge distribution supports fast switching with low EMI generation.
The device integrates back-to-back gate-source Zener diodes rated at 30 V, eliminating external clamping components. Its rugged dv/dt capability (50 V/ns) and unclamped inductive switching rating (EAS = 200 mJ) support reliable operation in hard-switched PFC and flyback topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports primary-side switching in 400 VAC rectified bus applications without derating. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.95 Ω - enables low conduction loss at 5 A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C). |
| Qg | 12 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables use with low-current drivers in high-frequency designs. |
| Rthj-case | 3 °C/W - allows 42 W dissipation at TC = 25 °C; requires direct thermal pad connection to PCB copper pour. |
| EAS | 200 mJ - sustains single-pulse avalanche energy without failure, critical for overvoltage transients in offline converters. |
| V(BR)GSO | ±30 V - built-in Zener clamps gate voltage, preventing oxide damage during ESD or gate ringing events. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - ensures immunity to false turn-on during high-slew-rate voltage transitions in bridge-leg configurations. |
Pinout & Package
STL7LN80K5 is housed in a surface-mount PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV package with exposed drain thermal pad (pins 5–8), single gate terminal (pin 4), and source terminals (pins 1–3). The package supports high-power density layout with low-inductance source return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 (S) | Source | Low-inductance parallel source connection; must be routed to ground plane with multiple vias for thermal and EMI control. |
| 4 (G) | Gate | Single-point gate input; requires localized RC snubber if used in high-dv/dt environments. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 (D) | Drain | Exposed thermal pad and top-side pins form unified drain node; serves as primary heat path to PCB copper. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ K5 vertical structure | Reduces RDS(on) × area by >30% vs prior-generation 800 V superjunction MOSFETs, enabling smaller heatsinks. |
| Ultra-low Qg (12 nC) | Enables 100+ kHz operation with minimal gate driver losses, improving efficiency in LLC resonant converters. |
| Zener-protected gate | Eliminates need for external gate clamp diodes, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint in space-constrained adapters. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees robustness against inductive kickback in flyback and forward converter primary switches. |
| PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV package | Provides 3 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and supports automated optical inspection (AOI) due to coplanar leads. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPW60R099P7XKSA1 | 650 V VDS, 0.099 Ω RDS(on), TO-247 package, higher Rthj-case (0.5 °C/W) | Limited to ≤380 VAC input systems; unsuitable for 400 VAC rectified bus without derating. | Select only when lower conduction loss at 650 V is prioritized over voltage headroom and surface-mount assembly. |
| STW48N60M2 | 600 V VDS, 0.065 Ω RDS(on), TO-247 package, no integrated Zener | Requires external gate protection; not rated for 800 V systems or unclamped inductive loads. | Prefer only in legacy 600 V designs where board space permits through-hole mounting and external clamping. |
Compared with IPW60R099P7XKSA1 and STW48N60M2, STL7LN80K5 uniquely combines 800 V rating, surface-mount PowerFLAT™ packaging, integrated Zener protection, and 200 mJ avalanche energy - making it the only drop-in solution for compact, surge-immune 400 VAC offline converters requiring zero external gate protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STL7LN80K5 supports 3.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This rating is limited by junction temperature and requires adequate PCB copper area to maintain thermal resistance below 3 °C/W.
Does the device require external gate protection?
No. The STL7LN80K5 integrates back-to-back Zener diodes between gate and source with ±30 V breakdown voltage, providing inherent protection against ESD and gate overvoltage events without external components.
Can STL7LN80K5 replace older MDmesh™ K3 or K4 devices in existing designs?
Yes - it is pin-compatible with earlier PowerFLAT™ 5x6 VHV MOSFETs like STL5N80K3 and STL6N80K4. Its lower RDS(on) (0.95 Ω vs 1.25 Ω) and reduced Qg (12 nC vs 15 nC) improve efficiency and enable higher switching frequencies without layout changes.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for thermal performance?
The recommended footprint (Figure 21) specifies a 4.4 mm × 2.5 mm thermal pad with eight 0.3 mm vias spaced evenly beneath it. This configuration achieves the rated 3 °C/W Rthj-case when mounted on 1 inch² FR-4 with 2 oz copper.
