Product details
Overview
STS8DNH3LL from STMicroelectronics is a dual n-channel 30 V, 8 A Power MOSFET in SO-8 package with RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω @ VGS = 10 V and total gate charge Qg = 7–10 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters where low conduction and switching losses are critical.
For engineers reviewing the STS8DNH3LL datasheet, STS8DNH3LL pinout, STS8DNH3LL application, or STS8DNH3LL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel SO-8 layout, 30 V VDS rating, 0.022 Ω max RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and suitability for synchronous buck topologies requiring fast switching and low gate charge.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's STripFET™ III process to achieve an optimal RDS(on) × Qg trade-off at 4.5 V gate drive-enabling efficient operation in 3.3 V/5 V logic-level control systems. Its dual n-channel configuration supports half-bridge or synchronous rectifier roles without external level-shifting.
The MOSFET features low output capacitance (Coss = 147 pF) and reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 20 pF), minimizing Miller-induced turn-off delay and improving hard-switching robustness. Avalanche-rated (EAS = 100 mJ), it sustains unclamped inductive energy during transient fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications with margin |
| RDS(on) max | 0.022 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤176 mW conduction loss at 8 A continuous current |
| Qg | 7–10 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 8 A - Continuous drain current rating under ideal heatsinking conditions |
| EAS | 100 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy tolerance supports reliable operation in inductive load switching |
| Ciss/Coss/Crss | 857 / 147 / 20 pF - Low capacitance values minimize switching losses and improve dv/dt immunity |
| td(off)/tf | 23 / 8 ns @ VDD = 15 V, RG = 4.7 Ω - Fast turn-off enables high-frequency (>1 MHz) converter designs |
Pinout & Package
STS8DNH3LL is housed in a standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AC), with exposed drain pads on both channels for thermal enhancement. The package complies with ECOPACK® environmental requirements and uses lead-free second-level interconnects.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (Channel 1) | Common source connection for first n-channel MOSFET; tied internally to exposed drain pad 1 |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Source (Channel 2) | Common source connection for second n-channel MOSFET; tied internally to exposed drain pad 2 |
| Drain Pad A | Drain (Channel 1) | Thermally enhanced drain terminal for Channel 1; electrically isolated from Channel 2 |
| Drain Pad B | Drain (Channel 2) | Thermally enhanced drain terminal for Channel 2; electrically isolated from Channel 1 |
| G1 (Pin 1) | Gate (Channel 1) | Logic-level compatible gate input; threshold VGS(th) = 1 V ensures turn-on with 3.3 V microcontrollers |
| G2 (Pin 5) | Gate (Channel 2) | Independent gate input enabling asynchronous or complementary control of second channel |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual n-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N04LS | Single-channel 40 V, 0.0014 Ω @ 10 V; higher RDS(on) density but no dual configuration | Requires two devices + extra PCB area to replicate dual-channel functionality | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) dominates over integration and layout simplicity |
| Vishay Si7850DP | Dual n-channel 30 V, 0.024 Ω @ 10 V, Qg = 12.5 nC - higher gate charge and RDS(on) | Acceptable in <500 kHz converters where switching loss margin exists | Select when STS8DNH3LL is unavailable and moderate efficiency degradation is acceptable |
Compared with BSC014N04LS and Si7850DP, STS8DNH3LL uniquely balances dual-channel integration, 4.5 V logic compatibility, and sub-10 nC gate charge-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency synchronous rectifiers where board area and driver power matter.

FAQ
Is STS8DNH3LL pin-compatible with other dual SO-8 MOSFETs like Si7850DP?
No. STS8DNH3LL uses a non-standard pinout: Channels 1 and 2 share dedicated source banks (Pins 1–4 and 5–8), with independent drain pads. Si7850DP assigns gates to Pins 1 and 5 but shares a common source (Pins 4, 5, 8, 9), making direct replacement impossible without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for STS8DNH3LL in a synchronous buck converter?
Based on measured td(off) = 23 ns and tf = 8 ns with RG = 4.7 Ω, STS8DNH3LL supports stable operation up to 1.2 MHz in well-layout-controlled buck converters-provided gate drive strength exceeds 1 A peak and layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
Does STS8DNH3LL support 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes. With VGS(th) = 1 V (min) and RDS(on) = 0.025 Ω @ VGS = 4.5 V, it fully enhances using 3.3 V microcontroller outputs. However, conduction loss increases ~39% versus 4.5 V drive-designers should verify thermal margin at full load.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for STS8DNH3LL?
STS8DNH3LL is tested per JEDEC JESD24-1 to guarantee 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy at TJ = 25°C, ID = 6 A. This rating is confirmed via unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tests using the circuit in Figure 16 of the datasheet, with waveform validation per Figure 17.
