Product details
Overview
SUP90N03-03-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, 90 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 2.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features TO-220AB package with drain-connected tab, 100 % Rg and UIS tested, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction. It serves as a high-current synchronous rectifier or OR-ing switch in server DC/DC power stages.
For engineers reviewing the SUP90N03-03-E3 datasheet, SUP90N03-03-E3 pinout, SUP90N03-03-E3 application, or SUP90N03-03-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive (3.3 mΩ), 82 nC total gate charge, body diode recovery time of 52–78 ns, and thermal resistance RthJC of 0.5 °C/W - all critical for high-efficiency, high-density power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in unidirectional high-current power paths. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5–2.5 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, while its 171–257 nC total gate charge supports controlled turn-on/turn-off in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with 0.8–1.2 V forward voltage at 22 A and 52–78 ns reverse recovery time, making it suitable for freewheeling and bidirectional current handling in synchronous buck converters and OR-ing circuits without requiring external Schottky diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage in power switch applications; defines use in ≤24 V nominal bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 2.9 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A, supporting high-efficiency 48 V-to-12 V or 12 V-to-5 V DC/DC stages. |
| ID (cont.) | 90 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current rating; requires heatsinking above ~70 °C case temperature. |
| Qg | 82 nC (typ.) @ VGS = 4.5 V - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 3.3 V control systems. |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting to tab for thermal management; supports >200 W dissipation with adequate cooling. |
| VGS(th) | 1.5–2.5 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers; avoids partial enhancement in noise-prone environments. |
| trr / Qrr | 52–78 ns / 70–105 nC - Defines body diode recovery behavior during commutation; impacts EMI and shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-220AB package with drain-connected metal tab for thermal and electrical connection. Mounting hole provided for heatsink attachment. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (Pin 1) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; 1.4–2.1 Ω gate resistance limits ringing and dV/dt-induced turn-on. |
| Drain (Pin 2 / Tab) | High-side power path | Electrically and thermally connected to metal tab; must be isolated from chassis unless system ground referenced. |
| Source (Pin 3) | Return path / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; layout must minimize inductance to reduce switching overshoot. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF1404PBF | Higher RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ @ 10 V; lower ID = 202 A but higher Qg = 131 nC; TO-220 package. | Less suitable for 4.5 V gate drive due to higher VGS(th) (2–4 V); higher switching loss in high-frequency DC/DC. | Prefer SUP90N03-03-E3 when low gate charge and logic-level drive are required; IRF1404PBF better for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency applications. |
| STP90NF03L | Similar RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 4.5 V; same TO-220 package; slightly lower ID = 80 A; no 100 % UIS test stated. | Lacks documented UIS ruggedness; may require additional snubbing in inductive load switching. | SUP90N03-03-E3 preferred where unclamped inductive switching reliability is critical; STP90NF03L acceptable for well-clamped, low-di/dt applications. |
Compared with IRF1404PBF and STP90NF03L, the SUP90N03-03-E3 delivers superior 4.5 V drive capability, lower gate charge for faster switching, and factory-verified UIS ruggedness - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-efficiency server and telecom power systems where thermal and transient margins are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SUP90N03-03-E3?
The SUP90N03-03-E3 is rated for 90 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 25 °C, limited by package thermal capacity. At TC = 70 °C, the rating remains 90 A, but ambient-limited operation drops to 28.8 A at TA = 25 °C on a 1" × 1" FR4 board. Derating curves confirm usable current down to ~30 A at TC = 125 °C.
Does SUP90N03-03-E3 support 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, SUP90N03-03-E3 supports 3.3 V logic-level gate drive due to its gate threshold voltage range of 1.5–2.5 V and specified RDS(on) of 3.3 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V. While full 90 A conduction requires ≥10 V for minimal on-resistance, 3.3 V can reliably switch moderate loads (<20 A) with predictable turn-on behavior and low shoot-through risk.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SUP90N03-03-E3?
The SUP90N03-03-E3 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 0.5 °C/W, with a maximum of 0.6 °C/W. This value is measured under steady-state conditions and reflects the low-thermal-impedance path from die to the drain-connected TO-220AB tab, enabling effective heatsink coupling for high-power operation.
Is SUP90N03-03-E3 suitable for synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters?
Yes, SUP90N03-03-E3 is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (2.9 mΩ at 10 V), fast body diode recovery (trr = 52–78 ns), and low Qrr (70–105 nC). These parameters reduce conduction and switching losses compared to Schottky diodes, especially in high-current, high-frequency 12 V and 5 V output stages.
What does "100 % Rg and UIS tested" mean for SUP90N03-03-E3?
"100 % Rg and UIS tested" means every SUP90N03-03-E3 unit undergoes production screening for gate resistance (1.4–2.1 Ω) and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) robustness. UIS testing verifies survival under worst-case inductive turn-off stress (IAS = 36 A, EAS = 64.8 mJ), ensuring field reliability in motor drives and power supply fault conditions.
