Product details
Overview
STW70N65M2 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 650 V, 39 mΩ typ. (46 mΩ max.), 63 A MDmesh™ M2 Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant converters in industrial SMPS, solar inverters, and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the STW70N65M2 datasheet, STW70N65M2 pinout, STW70N65M2 application, or STW70N65M2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 117 nC total gate charge, 208 pF output capacitance, 15 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt ruggedness, 100% avalanche tested reliability, and Zener-protected gate.
Technical Context
This device employs ST's MDmesh M2 strip layout and optimized vertical structure to simultaneously minimize RDS(on) and Coss, enabling high-frequency operation with low conduction and switching losses. Its 50 V/ns MOSFET dv/dt ruggedness and 4 A repetitive avalanche current support robust operation under transient overvoltage conditions.
The integrated source-drain diode features 584 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C) and 14.5 µC Qrr, with forward voltage of 1.6 V at 63 A - critical for synchronous rectification and bidirectional topologies where body diode conduction occurs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥30% margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) max | 46 mΩ - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 63 A, TC = 25 °C |
| Qg | 117 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed control |
| Coss | 208 pF - defines energy stored in output capacitance (EOSS ≈ 35 µJ @ 520 V) |
| TJ max | 150 °C - sets thermal derating limit for continuous operation in enclosed enclosures |
| EAS | 3.5 J - quantifies single-pulse unclamped inductive switching robustness |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - ensures reliable turn-off without spurious conduction in high-noise environments |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package: insulated case, through-hole mounting, 3-pin configuration with tab-connected drain for low-inductance heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≤±25 V bias; 3 Ω intrinsic resistance affects gate loop damping |
| 2 (D / TAB) | Drain (case-connected) | Main high-side switching node; electrically tied to metal tab for direct heatsink coupling |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; carries full load current and diode recovery current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extremely low gate charge | 117 nC total charge enables fast, low-loss switching with standard 1–2 A gate drivers |
| Optimized Coss profile | 208 pF output capacitance with flat voltage dependence reduces switching loss in ZVS/ZCS circuits |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for 4 A repetitive avalanche current and 3.5 J single-pulse energy |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate-source Zener clamps transients to ±25 V, eliminating external TVS in most layouts |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS | Solar Inverters |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP65R041CFD7 | RDS(on) = 41 mΩ, Qg = 102 nC, Coss = 225 pF, no integrated Zener | Lacks gate Zener protection; requires external clamping; slightly lower RDS(on) but higher Coss | Preferred when gate drive layout allows discrete protection and lowest conduction loss is prioritized |
| IXTH70N65X2 | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ, Qg = 132 nC, avalanche rated to 2.8 J, TO-247 non-isolated | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; lower EAS limits unclamped inductive robustness | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest avalanche margin and lowest Qg |
Compared with IPP65R041CFD7 and IXTH70N65X2, STW70N65M2 delivers superior dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), integrated gate protection, and balanced trade-off between RDS(on), Qg, and Coss - making it optimal for mission-critical industrial converters where reliability and layout simplicity are paramount.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STW70N65M2 supports 40 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS11513. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247 package and junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.28 °C/W. Designers must ensure heatsink design maintains case temperature ≤100 °C under full load to sustain this rating.
Does STW70N65M2 have an integrated gate Zener diode?
Yes - the device integrates a gate-source Zener diode rated for ±25 V, explicitly stated in the "Features" section and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (VGS = ±25 V). This eliminates the need for external gate protection in most applications, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
How is the output capacitance (Coss) characterized, and why does it matter?
Coss is measured at 208 pF (typ.) with VDS = 100 V and f = 1 MHz. Its voltage-dependent behavior - shown in Figure 7 - directly impacts switching loss in hard-switched converters and resonant tank energy in LLC designs. The low Coss and favorable Coss vs. VDS curve enable efficient operation up to 300 kHz.
Can STW70N65M2 replace older STW70N65M in existing designs?
Yes - STW70N65M2 is a direct upgrade to STW70N65M, offering lower RDS(on) (39 mΩ vs. 45 mΩ typ.), reduced Qg (117 nC vs. 130 nC), and improved Coss profile. Pinout, package, and absolute ratings are identical, enabling drop-in replacement without layout changes while improving efficiency and thermal margin.
