Product details
Overview
STY30NK90Z from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel SuperMESH™ power MOSFET rated for 900 V drain-source voltage, 0.21 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 14 A, 26 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and housed in the Max247 package. It serves as a high-voltage switching device in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial AC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STY30NK90Z datasheet, STY30NK90Z pinout, STY30NK90Z application, or STY30NK90Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 900 V VDS, Zener-protected gate, 4.5 V/ns dv/dt capability, 100% avalanche tested rating, and low Ciss (12 nF) for hard-switching efficiency.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's SuperMESH™ strip-based layout to minimize RDS(on) while preserving robust dv/dt immunity (4.5 V/ns) and avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 500 mJ). Its integrated back-to-back gate-source Zener diodes provide ±30 V gate protection without external components.
The device features low intrinsic capacitances (Ciss = 12,000 pF, Coss = 852 pF), fast switching (td(on) = 67 ns, tf = 72 ns), and gate charge optimized for high-frequency operation (Qg = 350 nC at VDD = 720 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 900 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input 85–265 VAC offline converters |
| RDS(on) | 0.21 Ω (typ) - enables low conduction loss at 26 A DC, critical for >300 W PFC designs |
| ID (cont) | 26 A @ TC = 25°C - defines thermal design margin for heatsink sizing in forced-air cooled systems |
| EAS | 500 mJ - ensures single-pulse unclamped inductive switching survivability in relay/snubberless circuits |
| dv/dt | 4.5 V/ns - sustains reliable operation under fast transient noise in high-noise industrial environments |
| Ciss | 12,000 pF - impacts gate drive power and switching speed; requires ≥2 A peak gate driver for <100 ns transitions |
Pinout & Package
STY30NK90Z is packaged in the Max247 (TO-247 variant with 3-pin vertical leadframe), a through-hole power package with isolated tab for direct heatsink mounting and creepage/clearance compliant with IEC 60950.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-voltage current path | Electrically connected to metal tab - must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to high-side ground |
| Source | Reference node for gate control & current return | Low-inductance connection point for gate driver return and sense resistor placement |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | Protected by integrated ±30 V Zener; requires <100 Ω series resistance to limit Qg-related ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated back-to-back 30 V gate-source Zeners eliminate need for external TVS, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| 100% avalanche tested | Every unit validated for repetitive and non-repetitive avalanche energy (IAR = 26 A, EAS = 500 mJ), enabling robust overvoltage handling |
| SuperMESH™ layout | Optimized strip geometry achieves 0.21 Ω RDS(on) at 900 V while maintaining >4 V/ns dv/dt immunity |
| Low Coss & Crss | Coss = 852 pF, Crss = 166 pF - minimizes Miller effect, easing gate drive design in high-frequency flyback/PFC |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Server PSU Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-voltage half-bridge in 3-phase inverter drives for HVAC compressors and pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switching element handling 600–800 V DC bus with 20–25 A RMS load current. Use Value: Avalanche ruggedness and 4.5 V/ns dv/dt prevent false turn-on during bus transients caused by IGBT commutation. | Use Scenario: Main switch in 1 kW+ active clamp forward or LLC resonant converter in datacenter PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side power switch operating at 100–300 kHz with 700–900 V blocking requirement. Use Value: Low Ciss and optimized Qg/Qgd ratio reduce switching losses and improve ZVS initiation margin. |
| Off-line LED Driver | Induction Heating Half-Bridge |
Use Scenario: Flyback controller primary switch in high-bay LED drivers with universal AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 900 V-rated switch managing 15–20 A peak currents during startup and overload conditions. Use Value: Integrated gate Zener prevents gate oxide failure during line surges and lightning-induced transients. | Use Scenario: High-frequency half-bridge in 20–50 kHz induction cooktops using resonant tank topologies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching power stage delivering 2–3 kW into parallel-resonant LC load. Use Value: Low RDS(on) (0.21 Ω) and high ID (26 A) enable efficient conduction at high duty cycles without thermal derating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW30NK90Z | Same die, TO-247-3L package (non-isolated tab); RDS(on) identical, but no built-in gate Zener | Requires external gate protection; preferred where tab grounding simplifies thermal path | Select when board layout allows direct tab grounding and external Zener is acceptable |
| IPP60R099CP | 650 V CoolMOS™ P7, RDS(on) = 0.099 Ω, lower Qg (120 nC), but lower VDS | Not suitable for 900 V bus; limited to 400 V DC-link topologies like boost PFC | Choose only for 650 V-class designs prioritizing switching loss over voltage headroom |
Compared with STW30NK90Z, STY30NK90Z offers integrated gate protection and isolated tab for safer high-voltage isolation; versus IPP60R099CP, it trades higher RDS(on) and Qg for essential 900 V rating and avalanche hardness in mains-connected systems.

FAQ
Is STY30NK90Z still in active production?
No-STY30NK90Z is marked as Obsolete Product(s) in ST's official documentation (Rev 4, Oct 2006). While not actively manufactured, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and supports design continuity via controlled allocation and cross-reference guidance for drop-in replacements.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for the junction?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C, with storage temperature ranging from –65°C to +150°C. Thermal design must respect Rthj-case = 0.277°C/W max to avoid exceeding this limit under 26 A continuous conduction at TC = 25°C.
Can STY30NK90Z replace STW30NK90Z in existing designs?
Yes-with caveats: STY30NK90Z uses an electrically isolated tab (Max247), whereas STW30NK90Z has a conductive tab (TO-247-3L). Layout must verify creepage/clearance compliance and confirm gate protection is not duplicated externally.
Does the built-in Zener protect against both positive and negative gate transients?
Yes-the device integrates back-to-back Zener diodes between gate and source, providing symmetrical ±30 V clamping (BVGSO = 30 V min) for bidirectional transient suppression without polarity sensitivity.
