With a gate charge of 33 nC at 10 V, the STP23N80K5 presents a moderate drive requirement that a standard gate-driver IC or a transformer-coupled drive stage can handle without excessive cross-conduction loss. The input capacitance is 1000 pF at 100 V drain-source, which helps keep the Miller plateau manageable in a half-bridge or active-clamp configuration.
Housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, the STP23N80K5 is designed for mounting on a heatsink with a screw or clip.
