Product details
Overview
STS4DNFS30 from STMicroelectronics is an integrated N-channel 30V Power MOSFET with co-packaged Schottky rectifier in SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 0.044Ω @ VGS = 10V, 4.5A continuous drain current, and 30V reverse blocking for the Schottky section. It serves as a synchronous rectifier or high-side/low-side switch in compact DC-DC converters for portable printers and battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the STS4DNFS30 datasheet, STS4DNFS30 pinout, STS4DNFS30 application, or STS4DNFS30 equivalent, this device requires attention to its dual-function layout (MOSFET + Schottky), gate drive compatibility at 5V logic levels, thermal derating above 100°C, and safe operating area limits under pulsed inductive loads.
Technical Context
The STS4DNFS30 integrates a STripFET™ II n-channel MOSFET and a low-drop Schottky diode on a single die substrate within an SO-8 thermally enhanced leadframe. Its MOSFET channel exhibits 1V gate threshold voltage and 5S transconductance, while the Schottky section provides 0.325V forward voltage at 2A and 0.43V at 4A (Tj = 25°C).
Switching performance is characterized by 9ns turn-on delay, 17ns rise time, 15ns turn-off delay, and 6ns fall time under 4.7Ω gate resistance; reverse recovery is minimized via Schottky's inherent zero-charge behavior (trr = 22ns, Qrr = 14.3nC only for source-drain body diode conduction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines upper limit for buck converter input or half-bridge rail voltage. |
| RDS(on) | 0.044Ω @ VGS = 10V - Conduction loss of 0.89W at 4.5A; enables high-efficiency operation below 10W output power. |
| ID(cont) | 4.5A @ TC = 25°C - Continuous current rating limited by 2W total dissipation; derates to 3.2A at 100°C case temperature. |
| VF(Schottky) | 0.43V @ IF = 4A, Tj = 25°C - Low forward drop reduces rectifier losses in synchronous or freewheeling paths. |
| Qg | 4.7nC @ VDD = 15V, ID = 4.5A - Gate charge determines required driver peak current and switching loss trade-off. |
| tr/tf | 17ns/6ns - Fast edge rates support >1MHz switching in space-constrained DC-DC designs. |
| Rthj-amb | 62.5°C/W on FR-4 - Thermal resistance dictates minimum copper pour area needed for 1.5W steady-state dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
STS4DNFS30 uses the standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with exposed thermal pad connected internally to the MOSFET drain and Schottky cathode. Pin 1 is gate, pins 2–4 are source (MOSFET and Schottky anode tied together), pins 5–8 are drain (common for both devices). The package supports hand-soldering and reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Controls MOSFET conduction; requires ≥1V threshold and ≤±20V absolute max gate-source voltage. |
| 2, 3, 4 | Source / Schottky Anode | Common node for MOSFET source and Schottky anode; must be routed as low-inductance power return path. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain / Schottky Cathode | Common drain terminal and Schottky cathode; carries full load current and absorbs inductive flyback energy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky + MOSFET | Single-package solution eliminates layout mismatch between discrete switch and rectifier, reducing parasitic inductance in high-frequency converters. |
| Low RDS(on) | 0.044Ω enables <1W conduction loss at 4.5A, supporting thermally constrained portable applications without forced cooling. |
| Logic-level gate drive | 1V VGS(th) and full enhancement at 5V allows direct interface with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting. |
| ECOPACK® RoHS-compliant | Lead-free second-level interconnect meets JEDEC JESD97 marking requirements and environmental compliance for global OEM shipments. |
| SO-8 thermal pad | Exposed drain pad improves heat transfer to PCB copper; achieves 62.5°C/W junction-to-ambient on standard FR-4 board. |
Applications
| Portable Printer Power Supply | USB-C PD Buck Converter |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated MOSFET + Schottky applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL135N3LLH6 | 30V, 135A, 1.35mΩ, no integrated Schottky; H2PAK-2 package | Designed for high-current motor drives, not DC-DC rectification | Select only when discrete Schottky placement and thermal separation are preferred over integration. |
| FDMS86182 | 30V, 15A, 0.0055Ω, integrated Schottky, PowerTrench® SyncFET™, 5×6mm PQFN | Higher current, lower RDS(on), smaller footprint, but requires different PCB layout and gate drive tuning | Choose for new designs targeting >10W output where SO-8 thermal limits are insufficient. |
Compared with STL135N3LLH6 and FDMS86182, STS4DNFS30 offers optimal balance of integration density, 4.5A capability, and SO-8 manufacturability for sub-10W portable DC-DC converters-where FDMS86182 exceeds thermal needs and STL135N3LLH6 lacks rectifier integration.

FAQ
Is STS4DNFS30 still in active production?
No-STS4DNFS30 is marked as obsolete in ST's official documentation (Rev 1, July 2006). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and supports ongoing production for qualified industrial and medical programs through controlled lifetime buy programs and cross-reference engineering guidance.
Can STS4DNFS30 be used in synchronous rectification mode?
Yes-its integrated Schottky diode and low RDS(on) enable synchronous rectification in buck, boost, and flyback topologies. Gate timing must ensure MOSFET turn-on before Schottky conduction ends to avoid shoot-through; typical dead-time control is 50–100ns at 500kHz switching.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for STS4DNFS30?
Based on measured tr/tf (17ns/6ns) and Qg (4.7nC), STS4DNFS30 supports reliable operation up to 2MHz in well-designed layouts with low-inductance gate loops and adequate gate drive strength (>1A peak). Efficiency drops above 1.5MHz due to increased switching losses.
Does the SO-8 thermal pad require solder paste stencil aperture adjustment?
Yes-the exposed drain pad (pins 5–8) must be printed with a 70–80% solder paste coverage stencil aperture to ensure void-free thermal attachment. ST recommends a 3×3 array of 0.3mm diameter solder vias under the pad connected to inner-layer ground planes for optimal thermal performance on FR-4 boards.
