Product details
Overview
BUK9K25-40RA from Nexperia is a dual N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 29 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, qualified to AEC-Q101, and engineered for repetitive avalanche operation in automotive power switching. It delivers 18.2 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C and supports 12 V/24 V/48 V engine control, transmission, and actuator loads.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9K25-40RA datasheet, BUK9K25-40RA pinout, BUK9K25-40RA application, or BUK9K25-40RA equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability automotive power stages requiring robust unclamped inductive switching, low gate drive voltage compatibility (5 V), and validated 30 °C junction temperature rise under repetitive avalanche stress.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET integrates two independent N-channel silicon die in a single LFPAK56D copper-clip package, enabling space-efficient half-bridge or dual-switch topologies. Its AEC-Q101 qualification covers full temperature range (−55 °C to +175 °C) and includes 1 billion-cycle repetitive avalanche validation per FET.
The device uses Application Specific FET (ASFET) silicon with optimized charge characteristics: QGD = 2.4 nC and Ciss = 528–701 pF ensure fast, controllable switching in PWM-driven inductive loads, while Rth(j-mb) = 4.68 K/W enables high-power dissipation on compact PCB mounting bases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive battery rail protection and load switching |
| RDS(on) | 24–29 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables low conduction loss in logic-level driven circuits without level-shifting |
| ID | 18.2 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Sustains high-current motor/valve actuation with thermal derating above mounting base temperature |
| EDS(AL)R | 19 mJ per event - Repetitive avalanche energy rating validated for ≥1 billion cycles at ≤30 °C Tj rise |
| QGD | 2.4 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk in bridge configurations |
| Rth(j-mb) | 4.68 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour or heatsink, supporting >30 W dissipation in optimized layouts |
| VGS(th) | 1.4–2.1 V @ Tj = 25 °C - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56D (SOT1205) is a dual-side copper-clip surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, offering high thermal conductivity (Rth(j-mb) = 4.68 K/W), AOI-compatible solder joints, and mechanical robustness for automotive vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of FET1 - Connected to low-side return path; electrically isolated from S2 |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of FET1 - Requires <2.1 V threshold for turn-on; decoupling critical for EMI control |
| 3 | S2 | Source terminal of FET2 - Independent return node; enables dual-load or half-bridge source referencing |
| 4 | G2 | Gate terminal of FET2 - Fully independent control; no internal gate coupling between FET1 and FET2 |
| 5, 6 | D2 | Drain terminal of FET2 - Internally paralleled pins (5 & 6) reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing |
| 7, 8 | D1 | Drain terminal of FET1 - Internally paralleled pins (7 & 8) enhance pulsed current capability and thermal spreading |
Key Features

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 BSC020N04LS6 | Single-channel 40 V, 2.0 mΩ RDS(on); TO-263 package; no repetitive avalanche rating | Requires external clamping for inductive loads; not AEC-Q101 qualified for repetitive avalanche | Select only when ultra-low RDS(on) is prioritized over avalanche ruggedness and dual-channel integration |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C428NT1G | Dual-channel 40 V, 3.1 mΩ RDS(on); SO-8 package; AEC-Q101 qualified but limited to 100 k-cycle avalanche | Limited cycle life in high-frequency solenoid drivers; higher Rth(j-a) (95 K/W) reduces power handling | Prefer for cost-sensitive 12 V BCM loads where avalanche stress is infrequent and thermal margin is ample |
Compared with BSC020N04LS6 and NTMFS5C428NT1G, the BUK9K25-40RA uniquely combines dual-channel integration, 1-billion-cycle repetitive avalanche validation, and LFPAK56D's 4.68 K/W thermal resistance - making it the only option qualified for high-duty-cycle automotive inductive switching without external protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK9K25-40RA at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
The BUK9K25-40RA supports 16.6 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values) and confirmed in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This value reflects thermal derating from the 18.2 A rating at 25 °C mounting base temperature due to reduced heat dissipation capacity.
Does BUK9K25-40RA require external gate resistors for avalanche operation?
No external gate resistor is required solely for repetitive avalanche operation, as the device is characterized with RGS = 10 Ω in its avalanche test conditions (Figure 4–6). However, a 5–10 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during hard-switching in bridge configurations.
How does RDS(on) change after repeated avalanche events?
Per Figure 6, RDS(on) increases by up to 50 % after 100 million avalanche cycles at VGS = 5 V. The datasheet specifies that RDS(on) degradation remains within specification limits for the full 1 billion-event rating, with typical increase ≤20 % at end-of-life under defined test conditions.
Can BUK9K25-40RA be used in a synchronous rectifier configuration?
Yes - its low 29 mΩ RDS(on) and fast 15.9 ns reverse recovery time (trr) support synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters up to 48 V input. However, body diode conduction must be minimized via precise gate timing, as the integrated source-drain diode has VSD = 0.83–1.2 V at 5 A and is not optimized for high-frequency freewheeling.
