Product details
Overview
STS9P3LLH6 from STMicroelectronics is a P-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET fabricated using STripFET™ H6 trench-gate technology, rated for -30 V VDS, 15 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V and -4.5 A, -9 A continuous drain current, and optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STS9P3LLH6 datasheet, STS9P3LLH6 pinout, STS9P3LLH6 application, or STS9P3LLH6 equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge (24 nC), avalanche ruggedness, SO-8 thermal performance (RthJA = 47 °C/W), and verified operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device implements a single P-channel silicon MOSFET with a trench-gate structure that reduces channel resistance and gate-to-drain capacitance. Its -30 V rating and 12–15 mΩ typical RDS(on) support synchronous buck topologies where high-side switching is not required and low-side conduction loss must be minimized.
The SO-8 package enables surface-mount integration with defined thermal resistance (47 °C/W on 1-inch² FR-4, 2 oz Cu) and supports pulsed drain currents up to -36 A. The integrated body diode exhibits 20 ns reverse recovery time and 16 nC Qrr, enabling fast switching in hard-commutated converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage P-channel switching in 24 V systems |
| RDS(on) max | 15 mΩ at VGS = -10 V, ID = -4.5 A - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 4.5 A |
| ID cont | -9 A at Tamb = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching with standard PCB copper |
| Qg | 24 nC - Reduces gate drive power loss and enables 1 MHz-class switching with low-RG |
| RthJA | 47 °C/W - Defines thermal derating on standard 1-inch² FR-4 board with 2 oz Cu |
| VGS(th) | -1 to -2 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with logic-level gate drivers (e.g., -3.3 V or -5 V) |
| Ciss | 2615 pF - Impacts gate drive loop stability and EMI filtering requirements |
Pinout & Package
STS9P3LLH6 is housed in an industry-standard SO-8 surface-mount package (ECOPACK® compliant), with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation and mechanical compatibility with JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Common source node; internally connected to pins 1–3 for low-inductance current return path |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires negative VGS for turn-on; 24 nC total gate charge defines driver sizing |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; pins 5–8 tied to exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low RDS(on) | 12 mΩ typ. at VGS = -10 V - Directly reduces I²R losses in high-current, low-voltage rails |
| Low gate charge | 24 nC total - Enables efficient high-frequency PWM control without excessive gate driver power |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching - Eliminates need for external snubbers in relay or solenoid drivers |
| Low gate drive power loss | Qg × fSW × VGS² scaling - Minimizes driver IC heating in compact power modules |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9530NPbF | Higher RDS(on) (200 mΩ @ VGS = -10 V), TO-220 package, slower switching (Qg = 65 nC) | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for >100 kHz switching or space-constrained designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and size requirements |
| DMG2305UVT | SO-8, lower VDS (-20 V), higher RDS(on) (42 mΩ), lower ID (-4.2 A) | Limited to ≤12 V systems; insufficient for 24 V industrial bus switching | Prefer only for ultra-low-cost 3.3/5 V logic-level loads with minimal current demand |
Compared with IRF9530NPbF and DMG2305UVT, STS9P3LLH6 delivers superior conduction efficiency, higher voltage margin, and faster switching in compact SO-8 form-making it optimal for thermally constrained, medium-power P-channel switching where RDS(on) and Qg directly impact system efficiency and footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STS9P3LLH6?
The STS9P3LLH6 has a specified junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Under continuous operation at 25 °C ambient on a 1-inch² FR-4 board with 2 oz Cu, its thermal resistance (RthJA) is 47 °C/W, allowing up to ~90 °C case temperature at 2.7 W dissipation before reaching 150 °C junction limit.
Can STS9P3LLH6 be used in linear mode (ohmic region) operation?
STS9P3LLH6 is characterized and qualified for switching operation only. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve (Figure 1) shows pulse-limited operation down to DC at reduced voltages, but linear-mode use is not guaranteed-designers must verify thermal limits and avoid secondary breakdown under sustained VDS/ID combinations.
Does STS9P3LLH6 require a gate resistor for ESD protection?
No dedicated gate resistor is required for ESD protection-the device features built-in gate protection diodes per ST's standard process. However, a series gate resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing, control dV/dt, and limit peak gate current during fast switching transitions.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD = -1.1 V at -4.5 A and trr = 20 ns, offering lower forward drop than standard silicon diodes but higher than Schottky alternatives. Its Qrr = 16 nC and IRRM = -1.6 A make it suitable for moderate-frequency freewheeling, though Schottky diodes remain preferred for ultra-low-loss or >1 MHz applications.
