Product details
Overview
BUK768R1-40E from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in SOT404 (D2PAK) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 75 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 5.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, avalanche-rated, and designed for high-reliability 12 V automotive power switching including start-stop micro-hybrid systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK768R1-40E datasheet, BUK768R1-40E pinout, BUK768R1-40E application, or BUK768R1-40E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction rating, true standard-level gate (VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C), repetitive avalanche capability, and thermal resistance of 1.56 K/W from junction to mounting base.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and robust switching performance under thermally demanding conditions. Its gate threshold voltage remains functional up to 175 °C, enabling reliable operation in engine bay environments without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with 18.6 ns reverse recovery time and 10.7 nC recovered charge, supporting fast commutation in inductive load control. Its 2.5 nH internal drain inductance and 7.5 nH source inductance are optimized for minimizing switching oscillation in high-current automotive power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems with load-dump transients. |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C - High-current capability limited by D2PAK package thermal performance, not silicon. |
| RDS(on) | 5.6 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 20 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A, critical for thermal management in compact modules. |
| QGD | 7.4 nC - Low gate-drain charge supports fast, controllable turn-off with reduced risk of dv/dt-induced false triggering. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.56 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting for efficient power dissipation. |
| EAS | 43.8 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy rating allows safe operation during inductive switching transients without external snubbers. |
| VGS(th) | >1 V @ Tj = 175 °C - Ensures gate turn-on remains functional across full automotive temperature range without special drive circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT404 (D2PAK) plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base (mb) is electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Gate input terminal - accepts standard 10 V logic-level drive; threshold remains active up to 175 °C junction temperature. |
| 2 | D | Drain terminal - electrically tied to mounting base; primary high-side switching node in high-side configurations. |
| 3 | S | Source terminal - return path for load current; referenced to system ground in low-side switch applications. |
| mb | Mounting base | Thermal and electrical connection to drain - must be soldered to copper pour or heatsink for rated power handling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standard. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Enables robust operation in inductive switching without external protection, reducing BOM count in motor/solenoid drivers. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports placement in high-temperature zones (e.g., near engine blocks) without derating or forced cooling. |
| True standard-level gate | VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C eliminates need for gate driver ICs or level shifters in 12 V vehicle architectures. |
| Low QGD/QG ratio | 7.4 nC / 24 nC = 0.31 - improves switching controllability and reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge designs. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 220 A, 1.6 mΩ RDS(on), TO-263 package, 175 °C rated, AEC-Q101 | Higher current capacity and lower RDS(on), but larger footprint and higher gate charge (QG = 95 nC) | Preferred when board space permits and ultra-low conduction loss is prioritized over switching speed. |
| IRF1404ZLPbF | 40 V, 186 A, 3.8 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220AB package, non-AEC-Q101, 175 °C rated | Larger through-hole package, no automotive qualification, higher RDS(on) than BUK768R1-40E at same VGS | Suitable only for non-automotive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |

FAQ
Is BUK768R1-40E suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes. The mounting base (mb) is internally connected to the drain, enabling direct high-side configuration when the base is mounted to a fixed potential (e.g., battery rail). Gate drive must reference source potential, and layout must minimize source inductance (7.5 nH) to avoid ringing during fast switching.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, the continuous drain current is derated to 59 A at Tmb = 100 °C with VGS = 10 V. This reflects thermal limitation of the D2PAK package-not silicon capability-and assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading.
Does BUK768R1-40E require a gate resistor for automotive EMI compliance?
Yes. A gate resistor (typically 5–10 Ω) is recommended to control dV/dt and reduce EMI during switching. The device's 7.4 nC QGD and 24 nC QG(tot) make it responsive to moderate gate resistance values without compromising switching speed in 12 V systems.
Can BUK768R1-40E replace older MOSFETs like BUZ11 in automotive upgrades?
Yes, with design validation. BUK768R1-40E offers lower RDS(on) (5.6 mΩ vs. ~40 mΩ for BUZ11), AEC-Q101 qualification, and 175 °C rating versus BUZ11's 150 °C. However, pinout differs (SOT404 vs. TO-220), requiring PCB redesign and thermal validation.
