Product details
Overview
STS25NH3LL from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 30 V, 25 A Power MOSFET in SO-8 package using STripFET™ III technology, optimized for DC/DC converters with RDS(on) = 0.0032 Ω @ VGS = 10 V and Qg = 30 nC, enabling high-efficiency synchronous rectification at high output current.
For engineers reviewing the STS25NH3LL datasheet, STS25NH3LL pinout, STS25NH3LL application, or STS25NH3LL equivalent, key selection criteria include low conduction loss (RDS(on) ≤ 3.5 mΩ), fast switching (tr = 50 ns), avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 1.3 J), thermal resistance (Rthj-pcb = 47 °C/W), and SO-8 footprint compatibility with standard PCB layout practices.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's STripFET™ III process with advanced metallization to minimize RDS(on) × Qg trade-off at 4.5 V gate drive, supporting efficient operation in synchronous buck converters. Its 30 V VDS rating and 25 A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C) target mid-power point-of-load regulation.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with trr = 32 ns and Qrr = 34 nC, enabling controlled body-diode commutation in hard-switched topologies. Avalanche capability (IAV = 12.5 A, EAS = 1.3 J) supports unclamped inductive load robustness without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Supports input rails up to 24 V DC/DC stages with margin against transients |
| RDS(on) | 0.0032 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers ≤ 1 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for thermal management |
| Qg | 30 nC - Enables fast turn-on with moderate gate drive strength (e.g., 1 A peak) |
| tr/tf | 50/8 ns - Reduces switching transition time, lowering overlap losses in PWM operation |
| EAS | 1.3 J - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in typical buck converter layouts |
| Rthj-pcb | 47 °C/W - Achieves junction temperature rise < 100 °C under 3.2 W dissipation on 1-inch² FR-4 board |
| ID (cont) | 25 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains full-rated output current in thermally managed PCB designs |
Pinout & Package
STS25NH3LL is housed in a standard SO-8 surface-mount package (ECOPACK® compliant, lead-free), with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-012AA outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; max ±18 V rating |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to power ground in low-side switch configuration |
| 3 (D) | Drain | Main current path output; internally connected to exposed pad for thermal conduction |
| 4 (S) | Source | Second source connection; paralleled with Pin 2 to reduce source inductance |
| 5 (S) | Source | Third source connection; reduces common-source inductance in high-dI/dt switching |
| 6 (D) | Drain | Second drain connection; tied to exposed pad to minimize drain loop inductance |
| 7 (D) | Drain | Third drain connection; enhances current sharing and thermal spreading across package |
| 8 (D) | Drain | Fourth drain connection; completes low-inductance, high-current drain path to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized RDS(on) × Qg | Enables >95% efficiency in 12 V → 1.2 V/25 A buck converters at 500 kHz |
| Low RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 0.004 Ω enables direct drive from 5 V logic or controller outputs without level shifters |
| SO-8 with exposed drain pad | Reduces thermal resistance by ~30% vs standard SO-8, improving power density |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 32 ns / Qrr = 34 nC minimizes reverse recovery loss in synchronous rectification |
| Avalanche-rated | Rated for single-pulse EAS = 1.3 J, eliminating need for external clamping in many DC/DC layouts |

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) = 3.4 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 32 nC; same SO-8 package | Slightly higher conduction loss; identical switching profile and thermal behavior | Preferred where second-source qualification is required and 0.2 mΩ RDS(on) penalty is acceptable |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 3.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 25 nC; SO-8 with dual drain/source pins | Lower gate charge improves switching efficiency above 1 MHz; tighter RDS(on) tolerance | Recommended for high-frequency (>1 MHz) DC/DC where gate drive loss dominates total loss |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3025LSD-13, STS25NH3LL offers best-in-class RDS(on) × Qg balance at 4.5 V drive, superior avalanche energy rating (1.3 J vs ≤0.8 J), and proven reliability in industrial DC/DC reference designs.

FAQ
Is STS25NH3LL suitable for synchronous rectification in buck converters?
Yes. STS25NH3LL is explicitly designed for synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters, with low RDS(on) (0.0032 Ω), fast switching (tr = 50 ns), and low Qrr (34 nC) to minimize body-diode conduction loss and reverse recovery stress in high-frequency buck topologies.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 18 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limitations under sustained high-temperature operation and must be applied when ambient or PCB thermal conditions exceed 25 °C.
Does STS25NH3LL have a qualified automotive grade variant?
No. STS25NH3LL is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. ST offers automotive-grade alternatives such as STD25NH3LL (AEC-Q101 qualified) with identical electrical specs but extended temperature and reliability validation.
Can STS25NH3LL be used in linear regulator applications?
No. STS25NH3LL is optimized for switching operation only. Its SO-8 package lacks sufficient thermal capability for linear-mode power dissipation, and its safe operating area (SOA) is rated for pulsed switching-not DC bias-conditions per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
