Product details
Overview
STW30N65M5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 650 V, 125 mΩ typ. (139 mΩ max), 22 A Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, based on MDmesh M5 vertical process technology. It delivers extremely low RDS(on), high dv/dt capability (15 V/ns), and 100% avalanche tested ruggedness for high-efficiency switching in industrial SMPS, PFC stages, and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the STW30N65M5 datasheet, STW30N65M5 pinout, STW30N65M5 application, or STW30N65M5 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage, high-current hard-switching topologies where conduction loss, switching energy (Eon/Eoff), and diode recovery robustness (Qrr = 6–7 µC, trr = 336–342 ns) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh M5 silicon architecture-combining deep-trench vertical charge compensation with optimized cell pitch-to achieve superior RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (125 mΩ × 64 nC = 8.0 Ω·nC). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3–5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity.
The integrated body diode exhibits fast, soft reverse recovery (trr ≤ 342 ns at TJ = 150 °C, ISD = 22 A) and low stored charge (Qrr ≤ 7 µC), reducing switching losses and EMI in bridge configurations. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.83 °C/W enables high-power operation with passive heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 650 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in 3-phase rectified systems with 50 V margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 139 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 11 A - Enables <1.7 W conduction loss at 14 A continuous drain current (TC = 100 °C). |
| ID cont @ TC = 100 °C | 13 A - Supports sustained 500 W output in well-heatsinked 100 kHz flyback or LLC converters. |
| Qg | 64 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and allows use of compact 1–2 W gate drivers. |
| EAS | 500 mJ - Fully rated unclamped inductive switching capability eliminates need for external snubbers in many PFC designs. |
| trr | 336–342 ns - Fast, soft diode recovery minimizes voltage overshoot and cross-conduction risk in half-bridge ZVS circuits. |
| dv/dt rating | 15 V/ns - Robust against parasitic turn-on in high-speed, high-dV/dt environments like SiC hybrid inverters. |
Pinout & Package
STW30N65M5 uses a TO-247 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), offering low thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.83 °C/W) and high creepage/clearance for 650 V isolation compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Lead) | Gate (G) | High-impedance control terminal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; gate input resistance = 1.6 Ω (low-frequency). |
| 2 (Lead) | Drain (D) | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| 3 (Lead) | Source (S) | Power return path and gate reference; forms common node with driver ground in low-side configurations. |
| Tab | Drain (D) | Primary heat dissipation surface and high-current drain connection; requires insulating pad when mounted to grounded heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh M5 silicon technology | Enables 125 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at 650 V - 25% lower than prior-generation MDmesh M2 devices, directly reducing conduction loss in 1–3 kW PFC stages. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse EAS ≥ 500 mJ - Eliminates need for derating in unclamped inductive load applications like motor phase-leg switching. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | Qgd = 25 nC, Qgs = 16 nC → ratio ≈ 1.56 - Improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with moderate gate resistors (RG = 4.7 Ω). |
| Soft-recovery body diode | Qrr = 6–7 µC, IRRM = 32–34 A - Reduces diode-induced voltage spikes and EMI in synchronous rectification and bridge topologies. |
| High dv/dt immunity | 15 V/ns rated - Prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transitions in multi-level converters and SiC co-packaged modules. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at case temperature of 100 °C?
The STW30N65M5 supports 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS6070 Rev 4. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and accounts for RDS(on) increase with junction temperature, enabling reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling.
Does STW30N65M5 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key recovery parameters?
Yes, STW30N65M5 features an integrated source-drain diode characterized for ISD = 22 A (continuous) and ISDM = 88 A (pulsed). Key recovery specs include trr = 336 ns (TJ = 25 °C) and 342 ns (TJ = 150 °C), Qrr = 6–7 µC, and IRRM = 32–34 A, measured under standardized conditions (VDD = 60 V, dI/dt = 100 A/µs).
What is the gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
VGS(th) is specified as 3–5 V at ID = 250 µA. This range ensures robust turn-on with 10 V gate drive while providing sufficient margin against spurious turn-on from noise or Miller coupling. Designers should use gate drivers capable of delivering ≥12 V to guarantee full enhancement across temperature and process variation.
Is STW30N65M5 suitable for use in hard-switched totem-pole PFC circuits?
Yes - its combination of low Qgd/Qgs ratio (1.56), high dv/dt immunity (15 V/ns), and soft-recovery body diode makes it suitable for totem-pole PFC. However, careful gate drive layout and negative turn-off bias (–5 V) are recommended to suppress Miller-induced false turn-on during high dV/dt commutation events.
