Product details
Overview
BUK9Y21-40E from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 21 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, with 175 °C junction temperature rating and repetitive avalanche capability - deployed in automotive transmission control and high-reliability 12 V power switching.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9Y21-40E datasheet, BUK9Y21-40E pinout, BUK9Y21-40E application, or BUK9Y21-40E equivalent, key selection criteria include its true logic-level gate (VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C), low thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 3.33 K/W), and mounting-base–referenced power dissipation up to 45 W at Tmb = 25 °C.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve stable RDS(on) across temperature and robust avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 12 mJ, unclamped). Its gate threshold voltage remains functional up to 175 °C, enabling direct 5 V microcontroller drive without level-shifting in thermally demanding automotive environments.
The LFPAK56 package integrates a drain-connected mounting base (mb) for low-inductance, high-current PCB thermal conduction. Pin configuration features three parallel source terminals (Pins 1–3), single gate (Pin 4), and drain tied to the exposed metal base - optimizing current sharing, thermal transfer, and switching efficiency in high-dI/dt applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive systems including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 21 mΩ max @ VGS = 5 V, ID = 10 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 7 A continuous current, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID | 33 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Continuous drain current rating referenced to mounting base temperature, not ambient, supporting accurate thermal design. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 3.33 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables efficient heat extraction via PCB copper pour or heatsink interface. |
| QGD | 2.7 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves turn-off robustness in inductive loads. |
| VGS(th) | > 0.5 V @ Tj = 175 °C - Guaranteed turn-on with standard 5 V logic, eliminating need for gate boosters in high-temp engine bay locations. |
| EAS | 12 mJ - Single-pulse unclamped avalanche energy rating supports reliable operation during inductive flyback events without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a surface-mount plastic package with an exposed drain-connected mounting base for enhanced thermal and electrical performance. It provides mechanical robustness and solder joint reliability under automotive thermal cycling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 - S | Source | Three parallel source terminals reduce package inductance and improve current sharing; connected internally to common source node. |
| 4 - G | Gate | Single gate input with low input capacitance (Ciss = 618–824 pF); optimized for 5 V logic drive and fast switching. |
| mb - D | Drain / Mounting Base | Exposed metal pad electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current return path to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD47 - suitable for safety-critical power nodes. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching events without degradation - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in solenoid drivers. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables operation in under-hood environments (e.g., transmission control modules) without derating or forced cooling. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with standard 5 V MCU GPIOs - no gate driver IC required. |
| Low Rth(j-mb) | 3.33 K/W thermal resistance allows >30 W power dissipation with only 100 °C ΔT between junction and mounting base - simplifies thermal layout. |
Applications
| Transmission Control Valve Driver | Engine Cooling Fan Controller |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 1.7 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, but requires 10 V gate drive; not logic-level at 5 V. | Better conduction efficiency at higher gate voltage; unsuitable for direct 5 V MCU drive. | Select when gate driver circuitry is available and ultra-low RDS(on) outweighs gate voltage constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 40 V, 2.9 mΩ @ 10 V; logic-level (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.2 V), but only rated to 150 °C Tj. | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and high-temp gate stability; limited to cabin-mounted modules. | Acceptable for non-engine-bay 12 V systems where 175 °C operation is not required. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, BUK9Y21-40E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, true 5 V logic-level operation at 175 °C, and proven avalanche ruggedness - making it the only drop-in solution for thermally aggressive, safety-critical automotive power switching without gate boosting or derating.

FAQ
Is BUK9Y21-40E suitable for high-side switching configurations?
No - BUK9Y21-40E is an N-channel MOSFET with source terminals tied to internal reference; high-side switching requires either a P-channel device or an N-channel with floating gate driver. Its pinout and thermal design optimize low-side use with drain-connected mounting base.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 1 in the datasheet, the continuous drain current is 23 A at Tmb = 100 °C and VGS = 5 V. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated mounting base temperatures.
Does BUK9Y21-40E require a gate resistor for safe operation?
A gate resistor (typically 5–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching, especially in inductive loads. The datasheet specifies test conditions with RG(ext) = 5 Ω for switching time measurements, confirming its necessity for EMI and reliability control.
Can BUK9Y21-40E replace older BUK9Y21-40B in existing designs?
Yes - BUK9Y21-40E is a direct replacement for BUK9Y21-40B, sharing identical pinout, package (LFPAK56), and electrical specifications. The 'E' suffix denotes updated wafer process and enhanced avalanche ruggedness, with full backward compatibility in layout and drive circuitry.
