Product details
Overview
STW70N60DM2 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET in the MDmesh DM2 series, featuring 600 V VDS, 37 mΩ typ. RDS(on), 66 A continuous drain current, and fast-recovery body diode with 150 ns trr at 25 °C. It is engineered for high-efficiency bridge topologies and ZVS phase-shift converters in industrial SMPS and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STW70N60DM2 datasheet, STW70N60DM2 pinout, STW70N60DM2 application, or STW70N60DM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (1500 mJ EAS), low Qg (121 nC), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), and TO-247 thermal performance (RthJC = 0.28 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements ST's MDmesh DM2 silicon architecture optimized for high-voltage switching with integrated fast-recovery body diode-enabling reduced switching losses and elimination of external anti-parallel diodes in synchronous rectification and resonant topologies. Its low Ciss (5508 pF) and ultra-low Qgd/Qgs ratio (61/26 nC) support clean gate drive and high-frequency operation up to 500 kHz.
The MOSFET delivers robust unclamped inductive switching capability (10 A IAR, 1500 mJ EAS) and withstands 50 V/ns dv/dt under specified conditions (VDD ≤ 480 V), making it suitable for hard-switched PFC stages and motor drives where voltage transients are severe.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 480 V in ZVS converters with margin |
| RDS(on) max | 42 mΩ - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 66 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Qg | 121 nC - Low gate charge allows efficient driving with standard 1-A gate drivers |
| trr | 150 ns @ Tj = 25 °C - Fast body diode recovery minimizes commutation loss in half/full-bridge |
| EAS | 1500 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy supports reliable operation during transient overloads |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Sustains rapid voltage transients without spurious turn-on in noisy power stages |
| RthJC | 0.28 °C/W - Enables >400 W dissipation with moderate heatsinking at case temperature ≤ 100 °C |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-247 package with isolated tab (Drain-connected), offering high thermal conductivity and mechanical robustness for industrial power modules and open-frame PSUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 10 V logic-level drive; requires <2 Ω gate resistance for optimal switching |
| 2 (D / Tab) | Drain (exposed metal tab) | Main high-side power path; electrically connected to heatsink; must be insulated if chassis-ground referenced |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; serves as reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | trr = 150 ns, Qrr = 0.75 µC - Eliminates need for external SiC/Schottky diode in LLC resonant converters |
| Extremely low gate charge | Qg = 121 nC, Qgd/Qgs = 2.35 - Reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk and driver power loss |
| 100% avalanche tested | EAS = 1500 mJ, IAR = 10 A - Guarantees ruggedness in unclamped inductive switching without derating |
| Zener-protected gate | VGS rating ±25 V with integrated gate oxide protection - Prevents ESD damage during handling and PCB assembly |
| High dv/dt immunity | 50 V/ns at VDD ≤ 480 V - Ensures noise immunity in high-di/dt gate loops common in multi-kW inverters |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS | Solar Inverters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 3–5 kW telecom rectifiers and server PSUs operating at 100–300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switching element in active-clamp forward or phase-shifted full-bridge topology. Use Value: Low RDS(on) and fast trr reduce total power loss by ~12% vs. legacy MDmesh D-series in 200 kHz designs. |
Use Scenario: DC-link switching stage in string inverters converting 600–1000 V PV input to grid-synchronized AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched IGBT replacement in H-bridge output stage with unidirectional conduction duty. Use Value: Avalanche-rated operation enables direct replacement without snubber redesign; 50 V/ns dv/dt rating prevents false triggering during grid fault transients. |
| Motor Drives | Induction Heating |
|
Use Scenario: Inverter leg switch in 7.5–15 kW HVAC compressors and pump drives using space-vector PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching device with body diode conducting freewheeling current during dead-time. Use Value: 150 ns trr limits reverse recovery overshoot to <15 V, avoiding shoot-through in 16 kHz PWM with 500 ns dead-time. |
Use Scenario: Resonant tank switch in 2–5 kW domestic induction cooktops operating at 20–50 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) device in series-resonant half-bridge with soft-commutated turn-off. Use Value: Low Coss (241 pF) and EOSS (24 µJ at 400 V) minimize capacitive turn-on loss and enable stable ZVS down to 25 kHz. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW78N60M2 | 600 V, 32 mΩ typ., 78 A, higher RDS(on) tempco, same DM2 die but larger chip area | Higher conduction loss at elevated Tj; better for lower-frequency (<100 kHz), higher-current applications | Select when peak current exceeds 66 A and thermal design permits higher RDS(on) drift |
| IPP60R099C7 | 600 V, 99 mΩ typ., 34 A, CoolMOS C7, lower Qg (62 nC) but higher trr (250 ns) | Superior efficiency at light load due to lower Ciss, but unsuitable for hard-commutated freewheeling | Prefer for flyback or QR PFC where body diode conduction is minimal; avoid in full-bridge with bidirectional current |
Compared with STW78N60M2, STW70N60DM2 offers tighter RDS(on) tolerance and superior dv/dt immunity; versus IPP60R099C7, it trades higher Qg for dramatically faster trr and guaranteed avalanche capability-critical for reliability in industrial motor drives and solar inverters.

FAQ
Is STW70N60DM2 suitable for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies?
Yes. With 241 pF Coss, 470 pF Coss_eq, and 24 µJ EOSS at 400 V, STW70N60DM2 enables reliable ZVS operation in phase-shifted full-bridge and LLC resonant converters above 100 kHz. Its low Qgd/Qgs ratio ensures predictable turn-on timing and reduces circulating current losses.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 200 kHz operation?
For 200 kHz hard-switched operation with 121 nC Qg, a gate resistor of 4.7 Ω is validated per Figure 13 in DS10558. Using >10 Ω increases td(on)/td(off) beyond 200 ns, raising switching loss; <2.2 Ω risks excessive peak gate current (>5 A) and ringing without proper layout control.
Does the body diode require external snubbing in bridge configurations?
No external snubber is required for the body diode in typical bridge use. With trr = 150 ns and IRRM = 10.5 A at 25 °C, the diode recovers cleanly under di/dt = 100 A/µs. Layout inductance must remain <20 nH to prevent voltage overshoot exceeding 650 V during recovery.
Can STW70N60DM2 replace STW70N60M2 in existing designs?
Yes, with benefits. STW70N60DM2 replaces STW70N60M2 pin-for-pin in TO-247, offering 30% lower Qrr, 2× higher dv/dt immunity, and guaranteed 1500 mJ EAS. No gate drive or layout changes are needed, though thermal design may allow 10–15% higher power density due to improved RDS(on) tempco.
