Product details
Overview
BUK7Y72-80EX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel standard-level MOSFET in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package, rated for 80 V drain-source voltage, 72 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction operation - deployed in automotive transmission control, solenoid drivers, and 12–48 V power switching systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7Y72-80EX datasheet, BUK7Y72-80EX pinout, BUK7Y72-80EX application, or BUK7Y72-80EX equivalent, this part supports thermally demanding automotive loads with true standard-level gate drive (VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C), repetitive avalanche rating, and 3.33 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance while maintaining robustness under high-temperature operation. Its gate threshold voltage remains functional up to 175 °C, enabling reliable turn-on in engine bay environments without requiring elevated gate drive.
The device integrates a monolithic source-drain diode with 22 ns reverse recovery time and 20 nC recovered charge, supporting synchronous rectification and inductive load commutation. Mounting base (drain-connected) provides low-inductance thermal path and enables direct PCB copper pour heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V maximum - supports 48 V automotive systems with 67 % derating margin against transients per ISO 7637-2. |
| RDS(on) | 54–72 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 5 A continuous current. |
| ID | 16 A continuous at Tmb = 25 °C - delivers high current density in compact LFPAK56 footprint (5.8 × 4.4 mm). |
| EAS | 12.5 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive switching events without failure. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 3.33 K/W - allows 13.2 °C/W temperature rise per watt dissipated when mounted on ≥10 cm² 2 oz Cu pad. |
| QGD | 3.3 nC - minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency in 100–500 kHz applications. |
| VGS(th) | >1 V at Tj = 175 °C - ensures gate turn-on compatibility with standard 5 V or 3.3 V microcontroller outputs under worst-case thermal stress. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a surface-mount plastic package with exposed mounting base (drain-connected) and four leads: three parallel source terminals and one gate terminal. The package enables high-current capability and low thermal resistance via direct PCB copper thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three paralleled source pins reduce bond wire inductance and increase current handling; internally connected to common source node. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with 9.8 nC total gate charge - compatible with standard logic-level drivers without gate boosters. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal and current path - must be soldered to large PCB copper area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per JESD47. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands repeated inductive turn-off events up to 12.5 mJ without parameter shift or degradation. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., engine control units) without external cooling or derating penalties. |
| True standard-level gate | VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C ensures reliable turn-on using standard MCU GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure of merit | ~700 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 100–300 kHz PWM motor control. |
Applications
| Transmission Control Module | Solenoid Driver Unit |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-side switching of hydraulic solenoids in automatic transmission valve bodies operating at 12 V nominal with ±100 V load dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch controlling 2–5 A solenoid current with 10 ms on/off timing and 100 kHz PWM capability for precise pressure modulation. Use Value: 72 mΩ RDS(on) limits self-heating to <2.5 °C/W at 3 A, while 175 °C rating prevents thermal shutdown during extended gear-shift sequences. |
Use Scenario: Low-side driver for fuel injector coils in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, subject to 12 V battery supply and 80 V flyback spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching N-channel switch with 5 ns turn-on delay and 5 ns fall time, enabling precise 0.5–5 ms pulse-width control. Use Value: 3.3 nC QGD reduces Miller plateau duration, minimizing overlap loss and enabling stable 200 kHz PWM without shoot-through risk. |
| Engine Bay Lighting Control | 48 V Mild Hybrid DC-DC Converter |
|
Use Scenario: Headlamp LED matrix dimming and adaptive beam steering in ambient temperatures up to 125 °C under hood. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch regulating 1–4 A LED strings using PWM at 1–20 kHz, with integrated body diode for freewheeling. Use Value: 22 ns trr and 20 nC Qr minimize diode conduction loss and EMI during PWM transitions, improving system efficiency by ~1.2 %. |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in bidirectional 48 V/12 V DC-DC converter for 48 V mild hybrid architectures with peak 15 A output current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous FET in buck-boost topology, switching at 250 kHz with 10 V gate drive and 80 V blocking capability. Use Value: 3.33 K/W Rth(j-mb) allows 100 % duty cycle operation at 10 A with <35 °C junction rise over board temperature, eliminating need for forced air cooling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V VDS, 1.2 mΩ RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5×6 package, 175 °C rated | Limited to 48 V systems; superior conduction loss but lower voltage margin than BUK7Y72-80EX | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) dominates over transient immunity in space-constrained 48 V modules. |
| IRF100N04D2 | 40 V VDS, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), TO-252 package, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not suitable for automotive; lacks qualification, higher thermal resistance (5.5 K/W), and no avalanche rating | Only consider for cost-sensitive industrial 12 V applications where qualification and reliability are secondary. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRF100N04D2, BUK7Y72-80EX uniquely combines 80 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, and 175 °C operation - making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood 48 V transmission control with full transient and thermal margin.

FAQ
Is BUK7Y72-80EX pin-compatible with other LFPAK56 MOSFETs?
Yes - BUK7Y72-80EX uses the standard SOT669 footprint with identical 5.8 × 4.4 mm outline, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and mounting base layout. Pin 1–3 are source, Pin 4 is gate, and the base is drain. This enables drop-in replacement within the same package family, provided RDS(on), VDS, and thermal requirements align.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 1 in the datasheet, the continuous drain current is 11 A at Tmb = 100 °C and VGS = 10 V. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capacity at elevated board temperatures, and must be verified against actual PCB copper area and airflow conditions.
Does BUK7Y72-80EX require a gate resistor for automotive PWM applications?
A gate resistor is recommended: 5 Ω typical for 100–300 kHz switching, as used in the datasheet's dynamic test conditions (Fig. 13–14). It controls dV/dt, suppresses ringing, and prevents gate driver overload - especially critical with the device's 3.3 nC QGD and low gate impedance in high-noise engine environments.
Can the source-drain diode be used for freewheeling in inductive loads?
Yes - the integrated body diode has 0.84–1.2 V forward voltage at 5 A and 25 °C, with 22 ns reverse recovery time and 20 nC recovered charge. It supports freewheeling in solenoid and motor drives, but synchronous rectification with a second FET yields higher efficiency above ~10 kHz.
