Product details
Overview
SUP70N03-09BP-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and motor control switching. It features 30 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 70 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 9.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and TO-220AB package with low thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W). It is used in synchronous buck converters and industrial motor drivers requiring fast switching and rugged avalanche capability.
For engineers reviewing the SUP70N03-09BP-E3 datasheet, SUP70N03-09BP-E3 pinout, SUP70N03-09BP-E3 application, or SUP70N03-09BP-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, unclamped inductive switching robustness, body diode recovery performance, and thermal derating behavior under pulsed load conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs third-generation TrenchFET® technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching transitions. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.5 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
The device supports repetitive avalanche operation up to 5.2 A and delivers 125 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy. Its dynamic parameters - including Qg = 48 nC, Qgd = 18 nC, and Crss = 22 pF - are specified at VDS = 15 V and support stable operation in hard-switched topologies with minimal gate oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS (max) | 30 V - Supports 24 V nominal bus systems with 20 % overvoltage margin |
| RDS(on) (max) | 9.5 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 10 A continuous current |
| ID (cont) | 70 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains high-current loads with heatsink mounting |
| Qg (typ) | 48 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| Body diode trr | 35 ns - Reduces reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification |
| RthJC | 2.5 °C/W - Allows precise junction temperature estimation using case temperature measurement |
| EAS (single pulse) | 125 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during fault events without failure |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard lead spacing, and screw-mount compatible outline. Thermal pad is electrically connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulating washer if mounted to grounded heatsink |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path; critical for accurate shunt-based current monitoring |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance CMOS-compatible input; requires <100 Ω series resistor to suppress ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate driver IC in 5 V MCU systems |
| Rugged avalanche rating | Repetitive IAR = 5.2 A - ensures reliability in inductive load switching without external snubbers |
| Low Crss / Qgd ratio | Crss = 22 pF, Qgd = 18 nC - improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of false turn-on in high-dV/dt environments |
| Fast body diode | trr = 35 ns, Qrr = 28 nC - minimizes shoot-through risk and conduction loss in synchronous rectifier mode |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 12 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V; Qg = 32 nC; lower ID (38 A) | Better gate charge efficiency but lower current capacity; less suitable for >50 A peak loads | Preferred where gate drive power budget is constrained and peak current ≤ 40 A |
| STP70NF03L | RDS(on) = 10 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V; TO-220FP package (insulated flange); no isolated tab | Eliminates need for insulating hardware but increases thermal resistance (RthJC = 3.0 °C/W) | Chosen when board space limits heatsink isolation or when simplified mechanical assembly is prioritized |
Compared with IRL3803PBF and STP70NF03L, the SUP70N03-09BP-E3 delivers highest continuous current capability and lowest RDS(on) in TO-220AB, making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-power-density designs where gate drive voltage ≥ 4.5 V is available.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SUP70N03-09BP-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SUP70N03-09BP-E3 supports 45 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its linear derating factor of 0.75 W/°C and 70 A rating at TC = 25 °C. This value is confirmed in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve and validated under pulsed conditions per Fig. 9 of the official datasheet. Designers must ensure heatsink design maintains TC ≤ 100 °C for sustained 45 A operation.
Does SUP70N03-09BP-E3 support gate drive from a 3.3 V microcontroller without external level shifting?
Yes, SUP70N03-09BP-E3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.2–2.5 V and achieves RDS(on) ≤ 18 mΩ at VGS = 3.3 V, enabling functional enhancement with 3.3 V logic. However, full 70 A current capability requires VGS ≥ 4.5 V. For robust 10–20 A switching, 3.3 V drive is viable; for >30 A, a buffered 5 V gate signal is recommended.
What is the avalanche energy rating of SUP70N03-09BP-E3, and how is it tested?
SUP70N03-09BP-E3 is rated for 125 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 5.0 mJ repetitive avalanche energy (EAR), measured under standardized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test conditions: VDD = 30 V, L = 1.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, TJ = 25 °C. These values are verified per JEDEC JESD24-11 and documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Vishay datasheet.
Can SUP70N03-09BP-E3 be paralleled with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes, SUP70N03-09BP-E3 is designed for ease of paralleling due to its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient and matched threshold voltage distribution. Parallel operation requires symmetrical PCB layout, individual gate resistors (≤ 10 Ω), and Kelvin source connections to minimize current imbalance. Up to four units have been validated in 120 A motor drive reference designs.
Is the TO-220AB package of SUP70N03-09BP-E3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free?
Yes, the "-E3" suffix in SUP70N03-09BP-E3 denotes Vishay's lead-free and halogen-free construction per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609B Class 3 and IEC 61249-2-21. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and halogen-free epoxy molding compound, with full material declarations available via Vishay's PPAP portal under document number 91301.
