Product details
Overview
STP80NF55-06FP from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, rated for 55 V VDS, 60 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 0.0065 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features ST's STripFET™ II process, 100% avalanche tested construction, and exceptional dv/dt capability - deployed in high-current DC-DC primary-side switching and motor drive half-bridge legs.
For engineers reviewing the STP80NF55-06FP datasheet, STP80NF55-06FP pinout, STP80NF55-06FP application, or STP80NF55-06FP equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) vs. thermal derating, safe operating area (SOA) limits under pulsed inductive loads, gate charge (Qg = 142 nC) impact on driver sizing, and TO-220FP's isolated tab for simplified heatsinking in AC/DC power supplies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a strip-based planar cell structure optimized for low on-resistance and rugged unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) enables direct TTL/CMOS logic-level drive, while its 1.3 J single-pulse avalanche energy rating supports reliable operation during transient overvoltage events in flyback and forward converters.
The device exhibits strong temperature stability: RDS(on) increases only ~1.7× from 25°C to 125°C, and transconductance (gfs = 150 S typ.) remains linear across its operating range. Its 3.33 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (TO-220FP) directly enables 45 W continuous dissipation with moderate heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V nominal bus systems with 15% margin. |
| RDS(on) | 0.0065 Ω max @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers ≤ 23.4 W conduction loss at 60 A, enabling high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID (cont) | 60 A @ TC = 25°C - Package-limited current rating; drops to 42 A at TC = 100°C per derating curve. |
| Qg | 142 nC - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (e.g., ≥ 2.8 A for 50 ns turn-on with 5 V swing). |
| EAS | 1.3 J - Supports robust unclamped inductive switching up to 40 A, 45 V, without external snubbers. |
| dv/dt | 7 V/ns - High immunity to false triggering during fast voltage transients in hard-switched topologies. |
| RthJC | 3.33 °C/W - Enables precise junction temperature estimation using case temperature measurement and thermal interface design. |
Pinout & Package
STP80NF55-06FP uses the TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package: insulated plastic case with electrically isolated metal tab (pin 2), allowing direct mounting to heatsink without insulator kit. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V drive signal; requires <142 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ESD (±20 V max rating). |
| 2 (Drain / Tab) | High-side power node | Electrically isolated metal tab serves as primary drain connection and thermal path; must be mounted to heatsink with thermal paste. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; carries full load current (60 A); connects to PCB copper pour for low-inductance return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| STripFET™ II process | Enables 0.0065 Ω RDS(on) in TO-220FP by maximizing silicon utilization and minimizing cell pitch variation. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees minimum 1.3 J single-pulse energy handling - eliminates need for system-level avalanche qualification testing. |
| Exceptional dv/dt immunity | 7 V/ns rating prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate switching transitions in PFC and LLC resonant converters. |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free second-level interconnect and RoHS-compliant finish meet industrial and consumer environmental requirements. |
| Application-oriented characterization | SOA curves, diode recovery data (trr = 100 ns, Qrr = 0.32 µC), and thermal impedance plots provided for real-world design validation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFP4668PbF | RDS(on) = 0.0042 Ω @ 10 V, but higher Qg = 210 nC and no avalanche rating specified. | Better conduction loss at low current, but less robust under inductive switching stress. | Prefer when thermal budget dominates and SOA margins are verified externally. |
| IXFH80N50P3 | 50 V rating, RDS(on) = 0.0055 Ω, Qg = 135 nC, avalanche-rated (EAS = 1.1 J). | Limited to 400 V max line applications; slightly lower SOA margin than STP80NF55-06FP. | Choose for cost-sensitive 400 V systems where 55 V headroom is unnecessary. |
Compared with IRFP4668PbF and IXFH80N50P3, STP80NF55-06FP uniquely balances 55 V rating, 1.3 J avalanche energy, and 142 nC gate charge - making it optimal for 48 V–400 V industrial power stages requiring both efficiency and ruggedness without external protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for STP80NF55-06FP at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 42 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet. This reflects thermal derating from the 60 A rating at 25°C, governed by the device's 3.33 °C/W RthJC and safe operating area constraints under sustained conduction.
Does STP80NF55-06FP require a gate resistor for standard 12 V PWM drive?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 4.7–10 Ω) is required to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation. With Qg = 142 nC and typical driver output impedance, a 4.7 Ω resistor limits peak gate current to ~2.5 A and achieves ~100 ns turn-on delay, aligning with recommended switching times in Figure 15.
Can STP80NF55-06FP be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with strict layout and gate drive matching. Its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (RDS(on) rises with junction temperature) enables inherent current sharing. However, layout asymmetry or unequal gate loop inductance can cause imbalance - use Kelvin-source connections and matched gate resistors per device.
Is the TO-220FP package electrically isolated, and what is its insulation voltage rating?
Yes - the TO-220FP package features an electrically isolated metal tab rated for 2500 V DC insulation withstand voltage (VISO). This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without thermal pads or insulators, reducing thermal resistance and assembly complexity in high-voltage power stages.
