Product details
Overview
STP25N80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 800 V, 19.5 A high-voltage power MOSFET using MDmesh K5 technology, with RDS(on) = 190 mΩ (typ.), Qg = 40 nC, and 100% avalanche tested. It operates in TO-220 package for industrial AC-DC SMPS, PFC stages, and offline switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STP25N80K5 datasheet, STP25N80K5 pinout, STP25N80K5 application, or STP25N80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, gate charge vs. switching loss trade-off, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W), Zener-protected gate, and unclamped inductive switching capability.
Technical Context
This device employs ST's proprietary MDmesh K5 vertical superjunction structure to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit (FoM), enabling high-efficiency operation at 640 V bus voltages. Its 800 V V(BR)DSS supports 400 VAC mains with >2× safety margin, and Zener-protected gate ensures robustness against transient overvoltage.
The integrated body diode features trr = 515 ns (TJ = 25 °C) and Qrr = 11 µC, optimized for hard-switched PFC and resonant topologies. Avalanche ruggedness is validated via single-pulse EAS = 200 mJ and IAR = 6.5 A testing per JEDEC JESD24-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 800 V - Withstands 400 VAC rectified peak + derating margin in offline converters |
| RDS(on) max | 260 mΩ - Limits conduction loss to ≤10 W at 19.5 A DC, critical for thermal design |
| Qg | 40 nC - Enables <100 ns turn-on/turn-off with 10 Ω gate resistor at 10 V drive |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 19.5 A - Maximum continuous drain current with heatsink; derates to 12.3 A at 100 °C case |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Supports reliable unclamped inductive switching in flyback or LLC primary switches |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - Enables junction-to-case temperature rise of only 5 °C at 10 W dissipation |
| trr | 515 ns - Minimizes diode reverse recovery loss and EMI in hard-switched PFC circuits |
Pinout & Package
STP25N80K5 is housed in a TO-220 package with isolated tab (pin 2), standard three-terminal layout, and through-hole mounting. The metal tab is electrically connected to the drain terminal and serves as primary heat path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Left) | Gate (G) | Controls channel conduction; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; Zener-clamped to ±30 V |
| 2 (Center, Tab) | Drain (D) | Main high-side power terminal; electrically tied to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| 3 (Right) | Source (S) | Power return path and gate reference; low-inductance connection critical for switching stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate charge | Qg = 40 nC enables fast switching with minimal driver loss and reduced gate drive power |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated ±30 V gate-source clamp prevents oxide damage during transients or layout-induced ringing |
| 100% avalanche tested | Every unit validated for single-pulse EAS = 200 mJ, ensuring reliability in inductive fault conditions |
| MDmesh K5 superjunction | Vertical structure reduces RDS(on) by ~35% vs. prior K3 generation at same voltage rating |
| Low Coss & Crss | Coss = 130 pF and Crss = 2 pF minimize Miller effect and improve hard-switching efficiency |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Power Supplies | Active PFC Front-Ends |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 300–500 W offline flyback or forward converters operating from 85–265 VAC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage power switch controlling energy transfer; operates at 65–130 kHz with hard switching. Use Value: 800 V rating provides 2.2× margin over 375 VDC bus, while 260 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <8 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Switching element in boost-type active PFC stage for server PSUs and industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turning main switch synchronized to line frequency; handles 10–30 A peak currents. Use Value: Low Qg (40 nC) and trr (515 ns) reduce switching loss and diode recovery stress, improving PF correction efficiency to >98%. |
| UPS Inverter Stages | High-Voltage DC-DC Converters |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge switch in online UPS inverters delivering 230 VAC output from 400 VDC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side/low-side switching device in 16–20 kHz PWM inverter leg; subjected to shoot-through and bus transients. Use Value: 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness and Zener gate protection ensure survival during output short-circuit or control faults. | Use Scenario: Primary switch in isolated 48 V–800 V DC-DC converters for EV charging infrastructure and battery management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch handling 640 V DC bus; operates in phase-shifted full-bridge or LLC topology. Use Value: RthJC = 0.5 °C/W allows direct mounting to cold plate, maintaining TJ < 125 °C at 15 A continuous with forced air cooling. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW25N80K5 | Same die, TO-247 package; RthJC = 0.5 °C/W identical, but higher creepage/clearance and 2.5 kV isolation rating | Required where reinforced insulation or >100 W continuous dissipation is needed | Select when board space permits larger footprint and enhanced safety compliance is mandatory |
| FDPF19N80F | 800 V, 19 A, RDS(on) = 280 mΩ, Qg = 48 nC; no integrated Zener gate protection | Lacks gate Zener clamp; requires external protection circuitry in noisy environments | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs gate robustness requirements and layout controls ESD/transient coupling |
Compared with STW25N80K5, STP25N80K5 offers identical electrical performance in a lower-cost, compact TO-220 package but lacks reinforced isolation; versus FDPF19N80F, it delivers lower conduction loss, faster switching, and built-in gate protection-critical for industrial field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for STP25N80K5 in continuous conduction?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (V(BR)DSS) is 800 V, specified at VGS = 0 V and ID = 1 mA. For reliable long-term operation, ST recommends limiting VDS to ≤640 V under switching conditions to maintain sufficient margin against voltage spikes and ensure SOA compliance per Figure 3.
Does STP25N80K5 require external gate protection?
No. STP25N80K5 integrates a bidirectional Zener diode between gate and source, clamping VGS to ±30 V. This eliminates the need for external TVS or resistor-Zener networks in most industrial layouts, though proper PCB layout (short gate traces, local decoupling) remains essential to avoid oscillation.
How does the TO-220 package affect thermal performance compared to TO-247?
Both STP25N80K5 (TO-220) and STW25N80K5 (TO-247) share identical RthJC = 0.5 °C/W, but TO-220 has higher RthJA (62.5 °C/W on FR-4) due to smaller copper area. For >15 W dissipation, TO-220 requires a dedicated heatsink, whereas TO-247 achieves better ambient-limited performance without added hardware.
Can STP25N80K5 replace STP20NM60FD in existing 600 V designs?
Yes-with design review. STP25N80K5 offers higher 800 V rating and lower RDS(on) (260 mΩ vs. 350 mΩ), improving voltage margin and conduction loss. However, its higher Qg (40 nC vs. 32 nC) may increase gate drive loss; verify driver capability and adjust gate resistor values to maintain desired dV/dt and EMI profile.
