Product details
Overview
BUK9K25-40E from Nexperia is a dual N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 29 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It delivers 18.2 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C and supports thermally demanding 12 V automotive power switching applications including transmission control and solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9K25-40E datasheet, BUK9K25-40E pinout, BUK9K25-40E application, or BUK9K25-40E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, thermal performance data, and AEC-Q101-compliant alternative options - all grounded in the official Nexperia product data sheet dated 10 December 2013.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET integrates two independent N-channel TrenchMOS devices in a single LFPAK56D package, sharing no internal connection between FET1 and FET2. Each channel features true logic-level gate drive with VGS(th) > 0.5 V at Tj = 175 °C and is rated for repetitive avalanche energy up to 15 mJ.
Thermal design is enabled by a low Rth(j-mb) of 4.68 K/W and a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C, supporting operation in high-ambient under-hood environments. The device exhibits 2.4 nC QGD, 6.3 nC QG(tot), and 528–701 pF Ciss, enabling fast switching in 12 V automotive power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems with load dump margin. |
| RDS(on) | 24–29 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables low conduction loss in high-current motor/solenoid drivers. |
| ID | 18.2 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Sustains peak loads in transmission control modules without forced cooling. |
| Ptot | 32 W @ Tmb = 25 °C - Supports high-power density layout on compact PCBs with direct mounting base thermal path. |
| QGD | 2.4 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves EMI behavior. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Qualified for under-hood operation per AEC-Q101, enabling placement near heat sources. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 4.68 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink or copper plane, critical for sustained 16.6 A at Tmb = 100 °C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LFPAK56D (SOT1205), plastic surface-mount package with exposed mounting base for enhanced thermal performance and mechanical robustness in automotive vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of FET1 - electrically isolated from S2; connects to low-side return path for first load. |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of FET1 - requires logic-level drive (≥2.45 V threshold); decoupling critical for noise immunity. |
| 3 | S2 | Source terminal of FET2 - independent of S1; enables dual-load control with separate ground referencing. |
| 4 | G2 | Gate terminal of FET2 - fully independent gate control allows asynchronous or complementary switching. |
| 5, 6 | D2 | Drain terminals of FET2 - internally paralleled pins reduce inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt loads. |
| 7, 8 | D1 | Drain terminals of FET1 - paralleled configuration lowers effective drain inductance and enhances avalanche ruggedness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability across temperature, humidity, and mechanical stress cycles. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | 15 mJ single-pulse energy handling at Tj(init) = 25 °C - protects against inductive kickback in solenoid/motor drives. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C ensures turn-on compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| LFPAK56D thermal performance | 4.68 K/W junction-to-mounting-base resistance enables >16 A continuous current at 100 °C board temperature. |
| Dual independent channels | No internal connection between FET1 and FET2 - supports isolated load control, redundancy, or phase-splitting topologies. |
Applications
| Transmission Control Module | Motor Driver for HVAC Blower |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-reliability switching of electromagnetic actuators and clutch solenoids in automatic transmission control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel power switch - FET1 controls line pressure solenoid, FET2 controls torque converter clutch. Use Value: 175 °C junction rating and AEC-Q101 qualification ensure stable operation in engine bay ambient up to 125 °C; dual isolation prevents fault propagation between critical subsystems. |
Use Scenario: PWM-controlled DC motor driving cabin air blower in automotive HVAC systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge high-side switch - each FET independently manages motor phase current during commutation. Use Value: 29 mΩ RDS(on) reduces I²R losses at 15 A peak, improving system efficiency; low QGD enables clean 20 kHz PWM switching with minimal shoot-through risk. |
| 12 V Battery Disconnect Switch | LED Headlamp Dimming Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for mechanical relays in battery management systems for start-stop functionality. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual parallel-switched power path - both FETs conduct simultaneously to halve effective RDS(on) and thermal load. Use Value: Combined 12.5 mΩ effective on-resistance (parallel FETs) limits voltage drop to <150 mV at 12 A, preserving bus voltage integrity during cranking. |
Use Scenario: Precision current regulation for adaptive LED headlamps requiring dynamic brightness and fault-tolerant dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent channel control - FET1 handles main beam, FET2 manages low-beam or DRL current paths. Use Value: Independent gate control allows staggered PWM timing to suppress EMI; 175 °C rating accommodates sealed headlamp enclosure temperatures exceeding 105 °C. |
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) @ 10 V, 175 °C rated, but single-channel only in PowerFLAT 5x6 package. | Lacks dual-channel integration - requires two devices for same functionality, increasing PCB area and gate drive complexity. | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) is prioritized over integration and board space; verify external gate driver compatibility. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C675NL | 60 V, 3.2 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, AEC-Q101 qualified, dual N-channel in SO-8FL, but higher VGS(th) (1.2–2.5 V). | Higher threshold requires ≥3.3 V logic drive; 60 V rating adds margin but increases gate charge (QG = 12.5 nC). | Prefer for 24 V hybrid systems or where higher voltage margin is needed; avoid in 3.3 V MCU-driven designs without gate boosting. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS5C675NL, the BUK9K25-40E uniquely balances dual-channel integration, true 5 V logic compatibility, and proven 12 V automotive thermal resilience - making it optimal for space-constrained, MCU-driven solenoid and motor control where channel independence and AEC-Q101 compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK9K25-40E at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
The BUK9K25-40E supports 16.6 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 100 °C with VGS = 5 V, as specified in Table 1 (Quick reference data) and confirmed in Figure 1 of the datasheet. This derating reflects its 4.68 K/W thermal resistance and 175 °C maximum junction temperature limit.
Does BUK9K25-40E support gate drive from a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - its VGS(th) remains >0.5 V even at Tj = 175 °C (Table 7), and RDS(on) is characterized down to VGS = 3.5 V in Figure 7. At 3.3 V, typical RDS(on) is ~45 mΩ (interpolated from Fig. 7), enabling functional but moderately lossy operation in non-critical loads.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this device?
BUK9K25-40E is rated for 15 mJ non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy (EDS(AL)S) under defined conditions: ID = 18.2 A, Vsup ≤ 40 V, VGS = 10 V, Tj(init) = 25 °C (Table 5). This is tested per JEDEC standards and documented in Figure 3, with single-pulse limitation enforced by 175 °C junction temperature cap.
Are the two MOSFETs inside BUK9K25-40E electrically isolated?
Yes - Pinning information (Table 2) confirms complete electrical separation: S1/G1/D1 form one channel, S2/G2/D2 the other, with no shared terminals. The LFPAK56D package maintains isolation between die and leads, enabling independent control, fault containment, and dual-load routing without cross-talk.
