Product details
Overview
TK5A90E,S4X from Toshiba is a silicon N-channel power MOSFET in the π-MOSⅢ family, designed for high-voltage switching applications. It delivers 900 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 4.5 A DC drain current, and 2.5 Ω typical RDS(ON) at VGS = 10 V, enabling efficient operation in offline AC-DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the TK5A90E,S4X datasheet, TK5A90E,S4X pinout, TK5A90E,S4X application, or TK5A90E,S4X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 900 V rating, TO-220SIS package with isolated heatsink capability, avalanche ruggedness (202 mJ), and gate threshold range (2.5–4.0 V) suitable for standard logic-level drive in high-reliability power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar vertical structure optimized for high-voltage blocking and low conduction loss. Its enhancement-mode operation ensures zero gate current in steady state, while the 3.125 °C/W channel-to-case thermal resistance supports reliable heat transfer to external heatsinks in continuous 40 W dissipation scenarios.
The device features integrated body diode with 1000 ns reverse recovery time and 6.5 µC Qrr, enabling hard-switched flyback and forward converter topologies. Its 15 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness and single-pulse avalanche rating confirm robustness against transient overvoltage events in unclamped inductive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 900 V - Withstands full mains rectified voltage (e.g., 650 V DC bus + margin) without breakdown. |
| RDS(ON) (typ.) | 2.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <11.3 W conduction loss at 4.5 A DC, reducing thermal stress in compact designs. |
| ID (DC) | 4.5 A - Supports continuous output power up to ~200 W in 230 VAC offline SMPS with proper heatsinking. |
| EAS | 202 mJ - Absorbs energy from inductive kickback (e.g., relay coils, transformer leakage) without failure. |
| Vth | 2.5–4.0 V - Compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller GPIO or dedicated gate drivers without level shifting. |
| Ciss | 950 pF - Determines gate drive power requirement (~1.9 mW per MHz at 10 V swing) for PWM frequencies ≤100 kHz. |
| Qg | 20 nC - Requires ~200 µC total charge per switching cycle, guiding gate driver peak current selection (e.g., ≥2 A for 100 ns rise). |
Pinout & Package
TK5A90E,S4X uses the TO-220SIS package (Toshiba designation: 2-10U1S), featuring electrically isolated tab for direct heatsink mounting without insulating pads. The plastic body provides creepage/clearance compliant with 2000 VRMS isolation rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires low-impedance drive due to 20 nC Qg. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to high-voltage input (e.g., rectified AC line); carries full load current and withstands 900 V transients. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference and return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; tied to power ground in low-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) | 2.5 Ω typ. reduces I²R losses and simplifies thermal design in space-constrained 4.5 A applications. |
| Avalanche-rated | 202 mJ single-pulse energy handling enables reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching without snubbers. |
| Isolated package | TO-220SIS tab provides 2000 VRMS isolation, eliminating need for insulating hardware in high-voltage heatsink mounting. |
| Enhancement-mode Vth | 2.5–4.0 V range ensures turn-on with standard logic-level drivers and avoids accidental activation during power-up. |
| Low IDSS | 10 µA max at 720 V ensures minimal standby leakage in high-impedance bias networks and energy-saving modes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable drain-source voltage for TK5A90E,S4X?
The TK5A90E,S4X has a guaranteed drain-source breakdown voltage (V(BR)DSS) of 900 V minimum. This rating ensures safe operation under worst-case transient conditions in 400 VDC bus applications, including line surges and inductive spikes. Operation beyond this voltage risks irreversible avalanche failure, even if within absolute maximum ratings for short durations.
Does TK5A90E,S4X require a heatsink in typical applications?
Yes, the TK5A90E,S4X requires a heatsink in all continuous-duty applications. With a channel-to-case thermal resistance of 3.125 °C/W and 40 W maximum power dissipation, even at 4.5 A and 2.5 Ω RDS(ON), junction temperature exceeds safe limits without external cooling. The TO-220SIS package's isolated tab enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulators.
Can TK5A90E,S4X be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No-while the TK5A90E,S4X gate threshold voltage starts at 2.5 V, full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve rated RDS(ON) of 2.5 Ω. A 3.3 V GPIO cannot provide sufficient overdrive, resulting in excessive conduction loss and thermal runaway. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4420) or level-shifting circuit is required for reliable switching.
What is the significance of the "S4X" suffix in TK5A90E,S4X?
The "S4X" suffix denotes Toshiba's internal packaging and marking variant: "S" indicates TO-220SIS package, "4" specifies tape-and-reel packaging format, and "X" identifies RoHS-compliant lead-free plating per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. This suffix confirms compliance, isolation capability, and automated assembly readiness for TK5A90E,S4X.
How does the body diode performance of TK5A90E,S4X affect synchronous rectification?
The TK5A90E,S4X body diode has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 1000 ns and peak reverse recovery current (Irr) of 18 A, making it unsuitable for synchronous rectification above ~50 kHz. These parameters cause significant switching loss and EMI in high-frequency secondary-side applications. For sync rectification, dedicated low-trr MOSFETs like SiC Schottky alternatives are recommended instead of relying on TK5A90E,S4X's intrinsic diode.
