Product details
Overview
STW70N65DM6-4 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel MDmesh DM6 Power MOSFET in TO-247-4 package, rated 650 V VDS, 36 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at 10 V VGS, and 68 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features fast-recovery body diode (trr = 170 ns, Qrr = 1.08 µC), 100% avalanche tested, and Zener-protected gate, designed for high-efficiency bridge topologies and ZVS phase-shift converters.
For engineers reviewing the STW70N65DM6-4 datasheet, STW70N65DM6-4 pinout, STW70N65DM6-4 application, or STW70N65DM6-4 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) per area, Qrr/trr performance, dv/dt ruggedness (100 V/ns), gate charge (Qg = 125 nC), and the dedicated driver source pin enabling precise gate control in high-side configurations.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh DM6 silicon technology, integrating an optimized superjunction structure with a fast-recovery intrinsic body diode-achieving 36 mΩ typ. RDS(on) and 1.08 µC Qrr at 68 A. Its TO-247-4 package includes separate driver source (pin 3) and power source (pin 2) terminals to minimize source inductance and suppress common-source inductance-induced shoot-through during hard switching.
The device delivers extreme dv/dt ruggedness (100 V/ns) and 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing up to 1.8 J EAS. Gate drive characteristics are optimized for ZVS operation: low Ciss (4900 pF), Coss (280 pF), and Crss (3 pF), with RG = 2.3 Ω intrinsic gate resistance supporting fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in full-bridge ZVS converters with margin for voltage spikes. |
| RDS(on) max | 40 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 68 A, critical for high-power SMPS efficiency targets >96%. |
| Qg | 125 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power demand and supports high-frequency (>100 kHz) operation. |
| trr | 170 ns (TJ = 25 °C) - Fast body diode recovery minimizes commutation losses and ringing in synchronous rectification. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 100 V/ns - Sustains rapid voltage transients without spurious turn-on, essential for reliable operation in hard-switched bridges. |
| EAS | 1.8 J - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness against inductive load transients without external snubbers. |
| RthJC | 0.28 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting for 450 W dissipation at TC = 25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247-4 package with isolated source terminals: Drain (pins 1 & tab), Gate (pin 4), Driver Source (pin 3), Power Source (pin 2). The dual-source configuration decouples gate loop inductance from power loop, enabling stable high-speed switching.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 & Tab | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab for low-inductance heatsink interface. |
| Pin 4 | Gate | Control input; driven referenced to Driver Source (pin 3) to eliminate source inductance impact on gate waveform fidelity. |
| Pin 3 | Driver Source | Dedicated low-inductance return path for gate driver, enabling accurate VGS control during fast dV/dt transitions. |
| Pin 2 | Power Source | High-current return path for main conduction; isolated from gate loop to prevent noise coupling into control circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | trr = 170 ns / Qrr = 1.08 µC at 68 A - Reduces reverse recovery losses by >40% vs. standard superjunction MOSFETs in LLC resonant converters. |
| Extra driving source pin | Pin 3 (Driver Source) - Eliminates gate loop inductance effects, enabling clean 10 V VGS switching even with 100 V/ns dv/dt on drain. |
| Low gate charge & capacitance | Qg = 125 nC, Ciss = 4900 pF, Crss = 3 pF - Supports efficient 100–300 kHz operation with minimal driver IC stress and reduced EMI. |
| 100% avalanche tested | EAS = 1.8 J - Guarantees ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching, removing need for external clamping circuits in PFC stages. |
| Zener-protected gate | ±25 V VGS rating with integrated gate oxide protection - Prevents gate oxide rupture during transient overvoltage events in industrial motor drives. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH70N65X2 | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ, Qrr = 1.35 µC, no driver source pin, TO-247-3 package | Lacks separate driver source; higher Qrr increases recovery loss in ZVS designs | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs ZVS efficiency gains and layout allows careful gate loop control |
| IPP65R041CFD7 | RDS(on) = 41 mΩ, Qrr = 0.95 µC, driver source pin, TO-247-4 package, 650 V | Slightly lower Qrr but higher Ciss (5400 pF) increases gate drive loss at >200 kHz | Prefer for ultra-high-frequency DAB converters where Qrr dominates, but verify gate driver capability for higher Ciss |
Compared with IXTH70N65X2 and IPP65R041CFD7, STW70N65DM6-4 uniquely balances ultra-low Qrr, industry-leading dv/dt ruggedness, and dual-source layout flexibility-making it optimal for ZVS phase-shift and high-reliability industrial inverters where both efficiency and robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the separate driver source (pin 3) and power source (pin 2) in the TO-247-4 package?
The driver source (pin 3) provides a dedicated low-inductance return path for the gate driver circuit, isolating gate loop dynamics from high-current power source (pin 2) transients. This prevents source inductance from distorting VGS waveforms during fast dv/dt events, ensuring reliable switching in high-side configurations and ZVS topologies.
How does the 100 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness specification translate to real-world reliability?
This rating means the device maintains stable off-state behavior when drain voltage rises at up to 100 V/ns-exceeding typical hard-switched bridge transients (30–60 V/ns). It eliminates false turn-on without external gate clamping, verified across temperature and voltage stress conditions per ST's UIS and dv/dt test protocols in DS13144.
Can STW70N65DM6-4 replace older MDmesh devices like STW70N65M5 in existing designs?
Yes, with layout verification: it offers lower RDS(on) (36 mΩ vs. 42 mΩ), improved Qrr (1.08 µC vs. 1.5 µC), and same TO-247-4 footprint. However, the driver source pin requires PCB routing updates to isolate gate return from power ground, and gate resistor values may need optimization due to lower Qg.
What thermal derating applies above TC = 25 °C?
Continuous drain current drops linearly from 68 A at TC = 25 °C to 43 A at TC = 100 °C, per Table 1. Junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C; with RthJC = 0.28 °C/W, maximum allowable power dissipation at TC = 100 °C is 179 W, requiring appropriate heatsinking and airflow per Figure 2 SOA curves.
