Product details
Overview
BUK7K6R2-40EX from Nexperia is a dual N-channel standard-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 5.8 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 VGS/25 °C, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It integrates two independent power switches with true standard-level gate drive (VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C), enabling direct microcontroller interface in 12 V systems for motor and solenoid control.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7K6R2-40EX datasheet, BUK7K6R2-40EX pinout, BUK7K6R2-40EX application, or BUK7K6R2-40EX equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel layout, 175 °C junction rating, repetitive avalanche capability, and thermally optimized LFPAK56D footprint - critical for high-reliability automotive power switching where thermal management and gate-drive simplicity are essential.
Technical Context
This device implements TrenchMOS technology in a dual-die LFPAK56D package, delivering matched channel characteristics (FET1/FET2) with identical static and dynamic parameters. Its standard-level gate enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic without level-shifting, while the 2.21 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance supports high-power operation on compact PCBs.
The MOSFET features fully characterized avalanche ruggedness (157 mJ single-pulse), source-drain diode recovery (trr = 25 ns, Qr = 18 nC), and robust gate oxide integrity (±20 V VGS rating). Its 175 °C continuous operation and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for under-hood automotive environments subject to thermal cycling and vibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), 175 °C, PowerFLAT 5x6 package; lower RDS(on) but higher QG (49 nC) and no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Higher efficiency at high current, but slower switching and unverified automotive qualification limits use in safety-critical ECU functions. | Select when ultra-low conduction loss dominates over switching speed and formal AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C675NL | 40 V, 4.5 mΩ RDS(on), 175 °C, SO-8 package; AEC-Q101 qualified, but single-channel - requires two devices for dual functionality. | Same thermal and voltage specs, but doubles PCB area, gate drive complexity, and BOM count versus integrated dual-channel solution. | Select only if existing SO-8 layout constraints prevent LFPAK56D adoption or if channel isolation requirements exceed internal die separation. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS5C675NL, BUK7K6R2-40EX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 validation, dual-channel integration in LFPAK56D, and guaranteed 1 V gate threshold at 175 °C - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive modules where gate-drive simplicity and qualification traceability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BUK7K6R2-40EX pin-compatible with other LFPAK56D dual MOSFETs?
No - BUK7K6R2-40EX uses a unique 8-pin LFPAK56D pinout (S1-G1-S2-G2-D2-D2-D1-D1) with dual drain and source pins per channel. Other dual LFPAK56D devices may differ in pin assignment or internal connectivity; always verify against the specific device's pinning table before PCB layout.
What is the maximum continuous drain current per channel at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current per channel is 40 A (per Table 5 limiting values), limited by package thermal capacity rather than silicon. Derating begins above 100 °C, reaching ~25 A at Tmb = 125 °C based on Fig. 1 normalized ID curve.
Does BUK7K6R2-40EX require external gate resistors for automotive PWM operation?
Yes - although its 10.5 nC QGD supports fast switching, an external gate resistor (typically 5–10 Ω) is recommended to damp ringing, limit peak gate current, and control dV/dt during turn-on/off in noisy automotive environments per Nexperia application note AN10273.
Can the two MOSFETs be used in a synchronous buck converter configuration?
Yes - FET1 and FET2 can serve as high-side and low-side switches in a synchronous buck stage when paired with appropriate gate drive (e.g., bootstrap for high-side). Their matched RDS(on) and thermal coupling in LFPAK56D improve current sharing and thermal balance under PWM operation.
