Product details
Overview
STW80NF55-08 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, rated for 55 V drain-source voltage, 80 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.0065 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It delivers high-current switching in motor drives, DC-DC converters, and industrial power supplies with rugged avalanche capability (EAS = 1000 mJ).
For engineers reviewing the STW80NF55-08 datasheet, STW80NF55-08 pinout, STW80NF55-08 application, or STW80NF55-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance, 320 A pulsed drain current rating, 300 W total dissipation, TO-247 thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 0.5 °C/W), and gate threshold voltage range (2–4 V) for standard logic-level drive compatibility.
Technical Context
This STripFET™ II device uses a single-feature-size strip-based process to achieve high cell density and low RDS(on), enabling efficient conduction with minimal thermal stress. Its avalanche-rated design supports unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers.
The MOSFET exhibits fast switching performance: td(on) = 20 ns, tr = 110 ns, td(off) = 75 ns, and tf = 35 ns under VDD = 27 V, ID = 40 A, RG = 4.7 Ω conditions. Gate charge parameters (Qg = 112 nC, Qgd = 40 nC) indicate moderate drive strength requirements for high-frequency operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; suitable for 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.008 Ω - Ensures ≤6.4 W conduction loss at 80 A, critical for thermal management in high-current designs. |
| ID continuous | 80 A at TC = 25 °C - Sustains full load in heatsink-mounted industrial power stages. |
| EAS | 1000 mJ - Enables reliable energy absorption during inductive turn-off transients without failure. |
| Qg | 112 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~11 mA average at 100 kHz, 10 V swing). |
| Rthj-case | 0.5 °C/W - Allows junction temperature rise of only 150 °C at 300 W dissipation, supporting robust thermal design. |
| VGS(th) | 2–4 V - Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
STW80NF55-08 is housed in a TO-247 package with three leads: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal and serves as the primary heat transfer path to the heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (left) | Gate (G) | Control input; requires low-impedance drive due to 112 nC total gate charge. |
| Lead 2 (center) | Drain (D) | Main power output node; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal and electrical connection to heatsink. |
| Lead 3 (right) | Source (S) | Power return path; referenced to control ground; carries full load current (80 A). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| STripFET™ II process | Enables 0.0065 Ω RDS(on) in TO-247, reducing conduction losses by >25% vs. prior-generation 55 V MOSFETs. |
| Rugged avalanche rating | Guarantees 1000 mJ single-pulse energy handling without degradation, eliminating need for external clamping in motor control H-bridges. |
| Standard threshold drive | VGS(th) range (2–4 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V/5 V logic, avoiding marginal biasing in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low gate charge asymmetry | Qgd/Qg = 36% minimizes Miller-induced switching delay, improving efficiency in hard-switched SMPS above 50 kHz. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter Stage | High-Current DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge or three-phase inverter driving 1–5 kW BLDC or induction motors in HVAC compressors and industrial pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side/low-side power switch handling 80 A peak phase current with 20–75 ns switching transitions. Use Value: Low RDS(on) and 1000 mJ EAS enable compact heatsink design and eliminate external avalanche protection components. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectifier or main switch in isolated 48 V input, 12 V/24 V output telecom or server DC-DC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turning power switch operating at 100–300 kHz with 320 A pulsed current capability during transient loads. Use Value: 0.5 °C/W Rthj-case and 300 W PTOT support high-power density (>500 W/in³) without forced air cooling. |
| Industrial UPS Output Stage | High-Power LED Driver Switch |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional power flow control in online double-conversion UPS systems delivering up to 3 kVA output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage MOSFET conducting 80 A continuously while supporting reverse current during battery charging cycles. Use Value: Source-drain diode VSD = 1.5 V at 80 A enables efficient freewheeling without external Schottky, reducing BOM count. |
Use Scenario: Constant-current switching regulator for high-bay LED luminaires drawing 60–80 A from 48 V distributed supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled power switch modulating current through high-power LED strings at 1–20 kHz. Use Value: Tight RDS(on) tolerance (0.0065–0.008 Ω) ensures consistent current regulation across production units without per-unit calibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 55 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFP4110PBF | RDS(on) = 0.0058 Ω (lower), but VGS(th) = 2–4 V same; Qg = 130 nC (higher); TO-247 package. | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; better conduction efficiency at <60 A, but less margin at 80 A due to lower SOA rating. | Prefer when minimizing conduction loss dominates over switching loss and SOA robustness is secondary. |
| IXTH80N50L2 | RDS(on) = 0.0075 Ω; VDS = 50 V (lower); EAS = 720 mJ (lower); TO-247 package. | Not rated for 55 V systems; reduced avalanche energy limits use in unclamped inductive loads like motor phases. | Select only for 48 V nominal systems where 50 V rating suffices and avalanche stress is mitigated by circuit design. |
Compared with IRFP4110PBF and IXTH80N50L2, STW80NF55-08 offers superior balance of 55 V rating, 1000 mJ avalanche immunity, and 0.0065 Ω RDS(on), making it optimal for industrial motor drives and UPS where reliability under transient overload is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STW80NF55-08?
The STW80NF55-08 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 175 °C and a storage temperature range of –55 to 175 °C. Thermal design must ensure that under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, the junction temperature remains below 175 °C-achievable via proper heatsinking given its 0.5 °C/W Rthj-case.
Can STW80NF55-08 be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes-the device's gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2 to 4 V, and its RDS(on) is fully specified at VGS = 10 V. While 3.3 V may not achieve minimum RDS(on), it provides sufficient turn-on for many low-duty-cycle or low-current applications; for full 80 A capability, a dedicated gate driver is recommended.
Does STW80NF55-08 include an integrated body diode, and what are its characteristics?
Yes-it features an inherent source-drain body diode with forward voltage VSD = 1.5 V at ISD = 80 A and reverse recovery charge Qrr = 230 nC. This diode supports freewheeling in bridge configurations but is not optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification due to its relatively high Qrr.
How does the TO-247 package of STW80NF55-08 compare thermally to TO-220 and D²PAK variants?
STW80NF55-08 in TO-247 achieves Rthj-case = 0.5 °C/W-identical to STP80NF55-08 (TO-220) and STB80NF55-08T4 (D²PAK)-but offers superior mechanical rigidity and higher creepage/clearance for 55 V isolation. Its larger tab area improves heatsink contact reliability in high-vibration environments.
