Product details
Overview
STW56N65DM2 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel MDmesh™ DM2 Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, rated 650 V VDS, 0.058 Ω typ. RDS(on), 48 A continuous drain current, and featuring fast-recovery body diode with 135 ns trr at 25 °C. It is engineered for high-efficiency bridge topologies and ZVS phase-shift converters.
For engineers reviewing the STW56N65DM2 datasheet, STW56N65DM2 pinout, STW56N65DM2 application, or STW56N65DM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (1300 mJ EAS), low gate charge (88 nC), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), and Zener-protected gate reliability in hard-switching SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh™ DM2 silicon technology optimized for high-voltage switching with integrated fast-recovery body diode. Its low Qrr (0.68 µC typ.) and trr (135 ns) minimize switching losses during commutation, while RDS(on) of 0.058 Ω at VGS = 10 V enables high-current conduction with low conduction loss.
The device delivers 360 W total dissipation at Tcase = 25 °C and exhibits 0.35 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Its 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness and 100% avalanche testing ensure robust operation under transient overvoltage and inductive turn-off stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - supports primary-side switching in 400 V DC bus and 3-phase rectified systems |
| RDS(on) max | 0.065 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤150 W at 48 A, enabling compact heatsink design |
| Qg | 88 nC - reduces gate drive power requirement and enables use with standard 1–2 A gate drivers |
| trr | 135 ns @ 25 °C - minimizes reverse recovery loss in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies |
| EAS | 1300 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure in flyback or PFC stages |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate voltage transients in high-frequency converters |
| Rthj-case | 0.35 °C/W - allows junction temperature rise of only 126 °C at 360 W dissipation, supporting 150 °C Tj operation |
Pinout & Package
STW56N65DM2 uses the industry-standard TO-247 package with three terminals: Drain (pin 2), Source (pin 1), and Gate (pin 3). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal and serves as the primary heat path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path and reference node for gate drive | Low-inductance connection point for source loop; ties directly to PCB ground plane or source rail |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Main high-voltage power output node | Connected to metal tab; requires isolation from heatsink unless heatsink is referenced to high-voltage rail |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance node sensitive to noise; requires local RC snubber and tight layout to suppress ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ DM2 silicon architecture | Combines ultra-low RDS(on) and fast-recovery diode in single die-enables >98% efficiency in 100 kHz+ resonant converters |
| Zener-protected gate oxide | Withstands ±25 V gate-source voltage without degradation-eliminates need for external gate Zener clamping |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche capability up to 1300 mJ-validates robustness in real-world overvoltage faults |
| Extremely low Ciss (4100 pF) | Reduces Miller effect and gate drive energy-supports clean switching at 500 kHz with minimal driver stress |
| High dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns) | Prevents false triggering during rapid voltage transitions in half-bridge leg cross-conduction scenarios |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXFH50N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω, Qg = 72 nC, trr = 110 ns, no Zener gate protection | Lower gate charge improves high-frequency drive efficiency but lacks gate overvoltage protection | Select when gate drive is tightly regulated and layout minimizes overshoot; avoid in noisy industrial environments |
| IPP65R099C7 | RDS(on) = 0.099 Ω, Qg = 62 nC, trr = 140 ns, integrated gate resistor | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; integrated resistor simplifies gate layout but limits drive flexibility | Prefer for cost-sensitive 1–2 kW designs where thermal margin allows higher on-resistance |
Compared with IXFH50N65X2 and IPP65R099C7, STW56N65DM2 uniquely balances low RDS(on), fast trr, and Zener gate protection-making it optimal for ruggedized 3–5 kW industrial SMPS where reliability under transient stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STW56N65DM2 supports 30 A continuous drain current at Tcase = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the official datasheet (DocID027142 Rev 2). This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247 package and ensures safe operation within SOA boundaries under sustained load conditions.
Does STW56N65DM2 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key recovery parameters?
Yes, STW56N65DM2 integrates a fast-recovery body diode with trr = 135 ns and Qrr = 0.68 µC at Tj = 25 °C, ISD = 48 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, and VDD = 100 V. These values are measured per Figure 16 test circuit and enable efficient operation in hard- and soft-switching topologies without external diode supplementation.
Is STW56N65DM2 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, STW56N65DM2 is manufactured in ECOPACK®-compliant TO-247 packaging, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free requirements per IEC 61249-2-21. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available via ST's official product page and ECOPACK® portal.
Can STW56N65DM2 be used in parallel configurations, and what layout considerations apply?
Yes, STW56N65DM2 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. Critical layout practices include matched gate trace lengths with individual 10 Ω gate resistors, symmetrical source connections to minimize loop inductance, and uniform heatsinking to maintain ΔTj < 5 °C between devices.
