Product details
Overview
STS14N3LLH5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 30 V, 14 A Power MOSFET in SO-8 package using STripFET™ V technology. It delivers RDS(on) = 5 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 12 nC (typ), and 180 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - optimized for high-density DC-DC converters in telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STS14N3LLH5 datasheet, STS14N3LLH5 pinout, STS14N3LLH5 application, or STS14N3LLH5 equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on)×Qg trade-off, SO-8 thermal performance on FR-4 (Rthj-pcb = 47 °C/W), and unclamped inductive switching ruggedness (IAV = 8.5 A).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's 5th-generation STripFET™ V process to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its gate charge profile supports efficient 4.5 V and 10 V drive, with Qgd/Qgs ratio of ~1.17 enabling fast, controllable turn-on/turn-off transitions.
The device features a robust body diode with trr = 25 ns and Qrr = 17.5 nC at Tj = 150 °C, supporting synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies. Avalanche rating is validated per unclamped inductive test (EAS = 180 mJ, IAV = 8.5 A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V input DC-DC stages |
| RDS(on) | 5 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 14 A continuous current |
| Qg | 12 nC (typ) - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables >1 MHz switching |
| ID (cont) | 14 A @ TC = 25 °C - Rated for PCB-mounted operation with 1 in² copper area |
| EAS | 180 mJ - Supports reliable operation under transient overloads without snubbers |
| trr | 25 ns - Limits reverse recovery loss in synchronous buck converters |
| Rthj-pcb | 47 °C/W - Thermal path defined for standard FR-4 board (2 oz Cu, 1 in²) |
Pinout & Package
STS14N3LLH5 uses the standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AC), with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin numbering follows conventional SO-8 layout (pin 1 = G, pins 2–4 = S, pins 5–8 = D).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive with 1.25 Ω intrinsic gate resistance |
| Pins 2–4 (S) | Source | Power return node; internally bonded to common source metallization |
| Pins 5–8 (D) | Drain | Main power output; connected to exposed thermal pad for PCB heat sinking |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) × Qg benchmark | Industry-leading figure-of-merit for SO-8 MOSFETs: 5 mΩ × 12 nC = 60 mΩ·nC |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Validated 180 mJ single-pulse EAS ensures reliability in inductive load transients |
| Low gate drive power loss | Qg = 12 nC at 10 V reduces driver IC power consumption and self-heating |
| Optimized body diode | 25 ns trr and 1.1 V VSD support efficient synchronous rectification |

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) = 6.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 15 nC; SO-8 package | Higher conduction loss and gate charge increase switching loss by ~12% in 500 kHz designs | Prefer when legacy IR design reuse is required and 1.5 mΩ RDS(on) margin is acceptable |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 2.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 22 nC; dual-N SO-8 package | Lower RDS(on) but higher Qg degrades high-frequency efficiency; requires dual-FET layout | Select only for space-constrained half-bridge layouts where 2.5 mΩ conduction priority outweighs gate drive overhead |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3025LSD-13, STS14N3LLH5 provides optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and proven avalanche capability - making it preferred for compact, high-efficiency DC-DC converters where thermal management and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for STS14N3LLH5 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 8.75 A at TC = 100 °C, derated from 14 A at 25 °C per the 0.02 W/°C derating factor and thermal resistance (Rthj-pcb = 47 °C/W). This reflects real-world PCB thermal limits, not junction-only ratings.
Does STS14N3LLH5 support 4.5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes - RDS(on) is specified at 6.2 mΩ (max) with VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 7 A. The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.0 V to 2.5 V, ensuring full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this MOSFET?
Avalanche performance is validated per JEDEC JESD24-1 using unclamped inductive load testing: IAV = 8.5 A and EAS = 180 mJ at Tj = 25 °C. Test circuit matches Figure 16 in the datasheet, with pulse width limited by junction temperature rise.
Can STS14N3LLH5 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient for RDS(on) (confirmed in Figure 11) ensures inherent current sharing. Parallel use requires matched gate drive impedance and symmetrical PCB layout to avoid dynamic imbalance; typical derating is 15% per additional device.
