Product details
Overview
STS13N3LLH5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 30 V, 13 A Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.006 Ω (typ.) at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 12 nC, and high avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 180 mJ). It delivers ultra-low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency DC-DC converters in server power supplies and POL modules.
For engineers reviewing the STS13N3LLH5 datasheet, STS13N3LLH5 pinout, STS13N3LLH5 application, or STS13N3LLH5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SO-8 thermal performance (Rthj-pcb = 46 °C/W), low gate drive power requirement, and unclamped inductive switching capability under 24 V conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET implements ST's 5th-generation STripFET™ V process, optimized for RDS(on) × Qg minimization - achieving industry-benchmark figure-of-merit in SO-8. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1 V min) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers.
The device supports high-current pulsed operation (IDM = 52 A) and features a robust body diode with trr = 25 ns and Qrr = 17.5 nC at 150 °C, critical for synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V input rails and transient margin |
| RDS(on) | 0.006 Ω (typ.) at VGS = 10 V - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 13 A continuous current |
| Qg | 12 nC - reduces gate driver power dissipation and enables fast 10–20 ns switching transitions |
| ID (cont) | 13 A at TC = 25 °C - rated per FR-4 PCB thermal condition (1 in², 2 oz Cu) |
| EAS | 180 mJ - supports reliable unclamped inductive switching in flyback and buck-boost converters |
| trr | 25 ns - limits reverse recovery loss and EMI in high-frequency synchronous rectifiers |
Pinout & Package
STS13N3LLH5 uses the standard SO-8 surface-mount package (ECOPACK® compliant), with pins 1–4 forming the source terminals (parallel-connected), pin 5 as drain, and pin 8 as gate. Thermal pad on underside enhances PCB heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (common) | Four parallel source leads reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications |
| 5 | Drain | Main power output terminal; connected to internal die drain metallization and exposed pad (non-isolated) |
| 8 | Gate | Control input requiring ≤22 V drive; low Qg enables direct microcontroller GPIO driving at 3.3 V/5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) × Qg benchmark | Industry-leading FoM for SO-8 MOSFETs, enabling >95% efficiency in 500 kHz–1 MHz DC-DC stages |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Rated 8.5 A IAV and 180 mJ EAS - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Low gate drive power loss | Qg = 12 nC at 10 V ensures <1.2 mW average gate power at 1 MHz switching frequency |
| Enhanced body diode performance | trr = 25 ns and Qrr = 17.5 nC enable clean commutation in synchronous buck and LLC resonant converters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 0.0055 Ω (typ.), Qg = 14.5 nC, SO-8, 30 V | Slightly higher gate charge increases driver loss; identical avalanche rating | Prefer when lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over gate drive optimization |
| Si7157DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.0062 Ω (typ.), Qg = 10.5 nC, SO-8, 30 V, logic-level | Lower Qg improves high-frequency efficiency; lower VGS(th) = 0.9 V enables 2.5 V drive | Prefer for 3.3 V/2.5 V controller interfaces and >1 MHz switching |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and Si7157DP-T1-GE3, STS13N3LLH5 offers the best balance of ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg, proven avalanche robustness, and SO-8 thermal performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability DC-DC designs where both efficiency and ruggedness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STS13N3LLH5?
The junction temperature must not exceed 150 °C under continuous operation. With Rthj-pcb = 46 °C/W on a 1 in² FR-4 board (2 oz Cu), the device sustains 13 A at TC = 25 °C. Derating is required above 25 °C case temperature at 0.02 W/°C, limiting usable current to 8.1 A at TC = 100 °C.
Can STS13N3LLH5 be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage is specified down to 1 V (min), and typical RDS(on) remains low (0.0091 Ω max) at VGS = 4.5 V. At 3.3 V drive, it operates reliably in linear or partially enhanced mode, suitable for low-speed switching or load-switching applications.
Does STS13N3LLH5 have an integrated ESD protection diode?
No - the device does not include on-die ESD protection circuitry. External TVS or RC filtering is recommended on the gate line if exposed to handling or system-level ESD events, especially in automated assembly environments.
How is the SO-8 thermal pad connected internally?
The exposed thermal pad on the SO-8 package is electrically connected to the drain terminal (pin 5). It must be soldered to a large copper pour tied to the drain net to ensure both thermal performance and electrical integrity - floating or grounded pads will compromise reliability and thermal resistance.
