Product details
Overview
BUK9K20-80EX from Nexperia is a dual N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, rated for 80 V VDS, 20 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use, and rated for continuous operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. It serves as a high-reliability power switch in 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive subsystems requiring thermally robust, repetitive-avalanche-capable dual-channel control.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9K20-80EX datasheet, BUK9K20-80EX pinout, BUK9K20-80EX application, or BUK9K20-80EX equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, thermal derating behavior, and AEC-Q101-compliant selection guidance - all grounded in Nexperia's official 2018 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET integrates two independent N-channel TrenchMOS devices in a single LFPAK56D package with shared mounting base, enabling compact dual-switch topologies without cross-conduction risk. Its true logic-level gate supports direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers, with VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V even at 175 °C - ensuring reliable turn-on under worst-case thermal stress.
The device features symmetric FET1/FET2 characteristics: identical 80 V VDS, 23 A ID (Tmb = 25 °C), 68 W Ptot, and matched dynamic parameters including QGD = 9.4 nC and Ciss = 2.6–3.5 nF. Repetitive avalanche rating (EAS = 132 mJ) and 2.21 K/W Rth(j-mb) support high-energy switching in transmission and motor control circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; enables use in 48 V automotive systems with margin against load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 14.2 mΩ typ @ VGS = 5 V, ID = 10 A, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss supports high-efficiency switching in solenoid and lamp drivers. |
| ID | 23 A continuous @ Tmb = 25 °C - Sustains high-current loads such as starter relays or HVAC blowers without external heatsinking. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Enables operation in engine bay or transmission control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. |
| QGD | 9.4 nC - Low gate-drain charge reduces Miller-induced switching losses and improves EMI performance in PWM-driven motors. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.21 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour or heatsink, supporting >50 W dissipation with minimal ΔT. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UHAST per AEC standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LFPAK56D (SOT1205), plastic surface-mount package with exposed mounting base for enhanced thermal performance; 8-pin layout with dual drain-source-gate symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of FET1 - connects to low-side return path; electrically isolated from S2 but shares common thermal base. |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of FET1 - accepts logic-level drive; threshold stable across full automotive temperature range. |
| 3 | S2 | Source terminal of FET2 - independent return path for second switched load; enables dual independent channel control. |
| 4 | G2 | Gate terminal of FET2 - fully decoupled from G1; allows asynchronous or complementary switching configurations. |
| 5 & 6 | D2 | Drain terminals of FET2 - paralleled pins for low-inductance, high-current connection to power rail or load. |
| 7 & 8 | D1 | Drain terminals of FET1 - paralleled pins providing robust 23 A current path with minimized bond-wire inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent N-channel MOSFETs | Enables space-efficient dual-load switching (e.g., H-bridge half-bridge + brake, or dual solenoids) without discrete pairing. |
| True logic-level gate (VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V @ 175 °C) | Guarantees turn-on with standard 3.3 V/5 V MCU GPIOs even under extreme under-hood thermal conditions. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated (EAS = 132 mJ) | Withstands inductive kickback from motors/solenoids without external snubbers, improving system robustness and BOM simplicity. |
| 175 °C junction-rated operation | Supports placement in high-temperature zones (e.g., near engines or transmissions) without derating or forced cooling. |
| LFPAK56D thermal performance (Rth(j-mb) = 2.21 K/W) | Delivers 2.5× better thermal resistance than SO-8, enabling higher power density in compact automotive ECUs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N06LS | 60 V VDS, 1.4 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, TO-263 package, no AEC-Q101 certification | Limited to 24 V systems; lacks repetitive avalanche rating and 175 °C qualification | Select only for non-automotive industrial 24 V motor drives where cost outweighs qualification requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C675NL | 60 V VDS, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, PowerSO-8, AEC-Q101 qualified but single-channel | Requires two devices for dual functionality; higher board area and gate drive complexity | Choose when footprint constraints allow dual discrete placement and 60 V rating suffices for target system. |
Compared with BUK9K20-80EX, the Infineon part offers lower RDS(on) but sacrifices voltage headroom and automotive qualification; the ON Semiconductor part matches AEC-Q101 compliance but doubles component count and thermal interface complexity - making BUK9K20-80EX the optimal single-package solution for 48 V–rated, thermally demanding dual-switch automotive nodes.

FAQ
Is BUK9K20-80EX pin-compatible with other LFPAK56D dual MOSFETs?
No - BUK9K20-80EX uses a unique 8-pin LFPAK56D (SOT1205) pinout with dual drain paralleling (pins 5&6 = D2, pins 7&8 = D1). Other dual LFPAK56D devices like BUK7K13-40E use different pin assignments and internal connectivity; direct substitution requires schematic and layout revision.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, the continuous drain current for each FET drops to 16 A at Tmb = 100 °C with VGS ≥ 5 V. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated board temperatures, not device failure.
Does BUK9K20-80EX support gate drive from 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes - its guaranteed VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V at 175 °C and typical RDS(on) of 14.2 mΩ at VGS = 5 V ensure robust enhancement mode operation with 3.3 V logic, though RDS(on) increases to ~35 mΩ at that voltage per Figure 7.
Can BUK9K20-80EX be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No - it is not characterized or qualified for synchronous rectification. Its body diode has trr = 29.9 ns and Qr = 36.5 nC, but no reverse recovery safe operating area (RRA SOA) or diode forward voltage specs are provided for high-frequency freewheeling use.
