Product details
Overview
BUK9K5R6-30EX from Nexperia is a dual N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, 5.8 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It delivers 40 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C and supports thermally demanding environments up to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed in transmission control and solenoid switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9K5R6-30EX datasheet, BUK9K5R6-30EX pinout, BUK9K5R6-30EX application, or BUK9K5R6-30EX equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel layout, true logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C), repetitive avalanche rating, and 2.36 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent N-channel TrenchMOS transistors in a single LFPAK56D package, sharing no internal connection between channels. Each FET features a gate threshold voltage of 1.4–2.1 V at 25 °C and maintains functional gate control down to 0.5 V at 175 °C, enabling robust low-voltage drive in 12 V automotive systems.
It exhibits 9.2 nC gate-drain charge and 22.6 nC total gate charge under standard switching conditions (VDS = 24 V, ID = 10 A, Tj = 25 °C), supporting fast turn-on/turn-off with td(on) = 13.8 ns and tf = 22.4 ns. Its unclamped single-pulse avalanche energy rating is 169 mJ, confirming ruggedness in inductive load switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum - supports full 12 V automotive battery transient margin (e.g., load dump up to 40 V handled via external clamping) |
| RDS(on) | 4.7–5.8 mΩ at VGS = 5 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 16 A, critical for compact motor drivers |
| ID (cont) | 40 A at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by package thermal capacity, not silicon; derates to zero at Tmb ≈ 200 °C |
| VGS(th) | 0.5–2.45 V range across -55 to 175 °C - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.36 K/W - enables direct mounting to copper heatsink pads on PCBs, achieving ≤100 °C junction rise at 25 W dissipation |
| EAS | 169 mJ (unclamped, single-pulse) - sustains inductive kickback from 40 A solenoid current interruption without failure |
| QGD | 9.2 nC - determines Miller plateau duration during switching; sets minimum gate drive strength requirement for <100 ns transition |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56D (SOT1205) is a thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed copper mounting base, 8 leads, and 4.45 mm × 4.95 mm footprint. Its dual-drain/dual-source layout maximizes current handling while minimizing parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of FET1 - connects directly to low-side return path; electrically isolated from S2 |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of FET1 - requires <10 Ω series resistance to suppress ringing due to 9.2 nC QGD |
| 3 | S2 | Source terminal of FET2 - independent return node; enables high-side + low-side half-bridge configuration |
| 4 | G2 | Gate terminal of FET2 - fully decoupled from G1; supports asynchronous dual-channel control |
| 5, 6 | D2 | Drain terminals of FET2 - paralleled pins reduce bond-wire inductance; connect to switched load or bus rail |
| 7, 8 | D1 | Drain terminals of FET1 - paralleled pins support high-current paths; share same potential as D2 only if externally wired |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent N-channel MOSFETs | Enables space-constrained half-bridge or dual-load control without discrete pairing; eliminates inter-device timing skew |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood operation including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD47 |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Guarantees safe operation during repeated inductive turn-off events (e.g., PWM-driven actuators) without parameter drift |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Permits placement near heat sources (e.g., engine control units) without derating; extends lifetime vs. 150 °C-rated alternatives |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) remains >0.5 V at 175 °C - ensures turn-on margin with 3.3 V MCU outputs even under worst-case thermal stress |
Applications
| Transmission Control Valve Driver | Motor Start/Stop Solenoid Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V hydraulic solenoids in automatic transmission shift actuators with 200 ms ON/OFF cycles and 30 A peak current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel high-side switch - one FET controls solenoid power, the other handles diagnostic current sensing path. Use Value: 5.8 mΩ RDS(on) limits resistive heating to <3.5 W at 30 A, avoiding thermal shutdown during sustained gear engagement. |
Use Scenario: Controlling starter motor engagement solenoid in start-stop systems, subject to 100,000+ cycles and ambient temperatures up to 125 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side driver for solenoid coil - leverages independent S2/G2 to isolate control logic ground from high-current return. Use Value: 169 mJ avalanche energy rating absorbs back-EMF spikes during abrupt de-energization, eliminating need for external TVS diodes. |
| LED Headlamp High-Beam Switch | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Phase Control |
|
Use Scenario: PWM dimming of 40 W LED arrays in adaptive front-lighting systems, operating at 2 kHz with 10%–90% duty cycle. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier in buck converter output stage - both FETs used in parallel for lower conduction loss. Use Value: 22.6 nC total gate charge enables full switching within 500 ns using 45 mA gate driver, reducing PWM dead-time losses by 18%. |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in 3-phase EPS motor inverter, switching at 10 kHz with 40 A phase current and 150 °C case temperature. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper/lower FET pair per phase - uses D1/S1 and D2/S2 for complementary drive with minimal shoot-through risk. Use Value: 2.36 K/W Rth(j-mb) allows direct PCB copper pour cooling, maintaining Tj < 155 °C at 25 W dissipation - avoids thermal throttling during parking maneuvers. |
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 BSC014N06LS6 | 60 V VDS, 1.4 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V, PG-TSDSON-8 package (Rth(j-mb) = 2.5 K/W) | Higher voltage rating suits 24 V commercial vehicles; lower RDS(on) reduces conduction loss but requires 10 V gate drive | Select when system operates above 30 V or needs <1 mΩ conduction resistance; not logic-level compatible with 3.3 V MCUs |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C675NL | 60 V VDS, 5.2 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V, SO-8FL package (Rth(j-mb) = 3.0 K/W) | SO-8FL footprint offers easier rework but higher thermal resistance; gate threshold starts at 1.2 V (not guaranteed at 175 °C) | Choose for cost-sensitive 12 V systems where 175 °C operation is not required and board space permits larger thermal pad |
Compared with BUK9K5R6-30EX, BSC014N06LS6 trades logic-level compatibility for higher voltage headroom and lower RDS(on), while NTMFS5C675NL sacrifices high-temperature gate stability and thermal performance for lower unit cost and standard SO-8 footprint.

FAQ
Is BUK9K5R6-30EX pin-compatible with other LFPAK56D dual-MOSFETs?
Yes - it shares the SOT1205 footprint and 8-pin pinout (S1-G1-S2-G2-D2-D2-D1-D1) with all Nexperia LFPAK56D dual-MOSFETs, including BUK9K7R7-40E and BUK9K12-40E. Mechanical mounting and PCB layout are interchangeable, though electrical parameters differ.
What is the maximum allowable gate drive voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±15 V per the datasheet limiting values table. For long-term reliability in automotive applications, Nexperia recommends limiting VGS to ≤12 V DC and ≤10 V for pulsed operation to prevent gate oxide degradation over 15+ year service life.
Can BUK9K5R6-30EX be used in a synchronous buck converter topography?
Yes - its dual-channel architecture supports synchronous rectification when both FETs are used in the same phase leg. However, external bootstrap circuitry is required for high-side drive, and gate timing must ensure >100 ns dead time to prevent shoot-through at 24 V input.
Does the device include integrated ESD protection on gate terminals?
No - BUK9K5R6-30EX has no on-die ESD protection diodes. Gate terminals require external 10 kΩ series resistors and 12 V Zener clamps (e.g., PESD5V0S1BA) to meet ISO 10605 Level 4 (30 kV air, 30 kV contact) requirements in automotive harness environments.
