Product details
Overview
BUK7880-55 from NXP Semiconductors is a standard-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in SOT223 (SC-73) package, rated for 55 V drain-source voltage, 7.5 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 8.3 W total power dissipation. It features 65–80 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 5 A, integrated electrostatic protection diodes, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive critical power switching.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7880-55 datasheet, BUK7880-55 pinout, BUK7880-55 application, or BUK7880-55 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 55 V rating, SOT223 thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 12–15 K/W), avalanche ruggedness (30 mJ), gate threshold voltage range (2–4.4 V), and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a standard-level enhancement-mode MOSFET requiring ≥10 V gate drive for full conduction. Its TrenchMOS architecture delivers low on-resistance with stable performance across -55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range and supports unclamped inductive switching with verified non-repetitive avalanche energy of 30 mJ.
The 4-pin SOT223 package integrates the mounting base (Pin 4) directly to the drain, enabling enhanced thermal transfer to PCB copper. Gate-source breakdown voltage is ±16 V, and electrostatic robustness is confirmed at 2 kV HBM - critical for assembly and automotive system integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V maximum - defines safe operating voltage ceiling for 12 V/24 V automotive rail switching. |
| ID (continuous) | 7.5 A at Tsp = 25 °C - usable current level before thermal derating begins. |
| RDS(on) | 65–80 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 5 A, Tj = 25 °C - determines conduction loss and junction heating under load. |
| EDS(AL)S | 30 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - enables reliable operation in inductive load switching without external snubbers. |
| VGS(th) | 2–4.4 V threshold range - ensures turn-on compatibility with standard 5 V or 3.3 V logic drivers when margin is applied. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 12–15 K/W junction-to-solder-point - quantifies thermal path efficiency to PCB, critical for sustained power handling. |
| Ciss | 365–500 pF input capacitance - impacts gate drive strength requirements and switching speed control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-73 (SOT223), plastic surface-mounted package with 4 leads and integrated heatsink pad (Pin 4 connected to drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Gate terminal - controls channel conduction; requires ≥10 V for full enhancement; protected by integrated ESD diodes. |
| 2 | D | Drain terminal - high-side switching node; electrically tied to Pin 4 (mounting base) for thermal and electrical continuity. |
| 3 | S | Source terminal - return path for load current; referenced for gate drive and used as common node in low-side configurations. |
| 4 | D (Mounting Base) | Drain-connected thermal pad - soldered to PCB copper for heat dissipation; must be electrically isolated from other nets except drain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive safety-critical applications including engine control, body electronics, and lighting modules. |
| Integrated ESD protection | 2 kV HBM rating eliminates need for external gate protection in most board-level environments. |
| Low RDS(on) | 65 mΩ typical reduces I²R losses and junction temperature rise in 12 V battery-fed loads. |
| Drain-connected thermal pad | Pin 4 provides direct thermal path to PCB, enabling 8.3 W dissipation without external heatsink in optimized layouts. |
| Avalanche-rated | 30 mJ unclamped energy capability allows robust operation with inductive loads like solenoids and motors. |
Applications
| Engine Control Module (ECM) Fuel Injector Driver | Automotive HVAC Blower Motor Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12 V fuel injector coils with peak currents up to 7 A and fast PWM cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch managing coil energization/de-energization timing. Use Value: Avalanche ruggedness (30 mJ) safely absorbs inductive kickback; low RDS(on) minimizes self-heating during extended duty cycles. |
Use Scenario: Controlling brushed DC blower motor in climate control systems with variable-speed PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element modulating motor current via gate-controlled conduction. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability over 15-year vehicle lifetime; SOT223 thermal pad sustains 7.5 A continuous current at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C. |
| LED Headlamp Power Stage | Body Control Module (BCM) Relay Replacement |
Use Scenario: Driving high-intensity LED arrays (e.g., DRL, position lamps) requiring precise current regulation and thermal stability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current switch in linear or PWM-based LED driver topologies. Use Value: Tight VGS(th) distribution (2–4.4 V) enables predictable turn-on with microcontroller GPIO; low leakage (<10 µA at 150 °C) prevents standby current drift. |
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays controlling door locks, window lifts, or mirror actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose power switch interfacing with 5 V or 3.3 V MCU outputs. Use Value: Electrostatic robustness (2 kV HBM) withstands handling and board assembly; 55 V rating covers load dump transients per ISO 7637-2. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP7NK50ZFP | 500 V VDS, 7 A ID, TO-220FP package, higher RDS(on) (0.7 Ω), no AEC-Q101 rating | Designed for mains-powered industrial SMPS, not automotive environments | Select only for non-automotive 500 V applications where high-voltage blocking is required and qualification is not mandated. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 30 V VDS, 25 A ID, SO-8FL package, lower RDS(on) (3.4 mΩ), AEC-Q101 qualified | Optimized for 12 V battery systems needing higher current and lower loss, but insufficient for 55 V load-dump scenarios | Prefer for high-current 12 V loads where voltage stress remains below 30 V; verify against ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b limits. |
Compared with STP7NK50ZFP and NTMFS4C09NT1G, the BUK7880-55 uniquely balances 55 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, SOT223 thermal capability, and 7.5 A current in a surface-mount automotive-qualified package - making it the only option among the three suitable for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 12/24 V automotive power stages requiring load-dump resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the BUK7880-55?
The BUK7880-55 has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) of 7.5 A at solder point temperature (Tsp) = 25 °C. This value derates to 4.7 A at Tsp = 100 °C per the limiting values table. The actual usable current depends on PCB copper area, ambient temperature, and airflow - design must respect the normalized current vs. Tmb curve in Figure 1.
Is the BUK7880-55 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the BUK7880-55 is explicitly designed and qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive critical applications. Its construction, testing, and characterization - including thermal cycling, humidity bias, and avalanche energy validation - meet automotive reliability requirements for use in engine control, lighting, HVAC, and body electronics systems.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for the BUK7880-55?
The BUK7880-55 gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V minimum to 4.4 V maximum, measured at ID = 1 mA, VDS = VGS, and Tj = –55 °C to 150 °C. Typical value is 3 V at 25 °C, confirming compatibility with standard 5 V or 3.3 V logic-level gate drivers when sufficient overdrive is applied.
Does the BUK7880-55 have integrated ESD protection?
Yes, the BUK7880-55 includes integrated protection diodes that deliver 2 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness per Human Body Model (HBM). This eliminates the need for external gate protection components in most automotive PCB designs and improves manufacturing yield and field reliability.
How is thermal management handled in the BUK7880-55 package?
The BUK7880-55 uses an SC-73 (SOT223) package with Pin 4 serving as a drain-connected mounting base. This thermal pad must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour to achieve the specified Rth(j-sp) of 12–15 K/W. Performance data in Figures 1 and 4 confirm power derating curves based on solder point temperature - layout must allocate ≥6.5 cm² of 2-oz copper for optimal thermal performance.
