Product details
Overview
NP40N10VDF-E2-AY from Renesas Electronics is a 100 V, 40 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-252 (MP-3ZP) package, optimized for automotive high-current switching with RDS(on) = 26 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 20 A. It features logic-level gate drive, AEC-Q101 qualification, and integrated body diode for motor control and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the NP40N10VDF-E2-AY datasheet, NP40N10VDF-E2-AY pinout, NP40N10VDF-E2-AY application, or NP40N10VDF-E2-AY equivalent, this page delivers verified thermal resistance (Rth(ch-A) = 125 °C/W), avalanche capability (EAS = 61 mJ), and gate charge (QG = 47–71 nC) to support robust automotive power stage design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and drift region doping to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining 100 V VDSS breakdown. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.5–2.5 V) enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 67 ns, Qrr = 162 nC) and exhibits low output capacitance (Coss = 200–300 pF) for reduced switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Thermal design is supported by Rth(ch-C) = 1.25 °C/W and channel temperature rating up to 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Withstands 100 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 48 V automotive systems with margin. |
| ID(DC) | ±40 A - Supports continuous 40 A conduction at TC = 25°C, enabling high-power load switching. |
| RDS(on) max | 26 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 20 A - Low conduction loss yields <1 W dissipation at 20 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| QG | 47–71 nC - Gate drive energy requirement determines driver sizing and switching speed in PWM applications. |
| EAS | 61 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures ruggedness against inductive turn-off transients in motor drives. |
| Rth(ch-A) | 125 °C/W - Thermal resistance to ambient on standard 40 mm × 40 mm PCB with 4% copper area guides board layout cooling. |
| trr | 67 ns - Fast body diode recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and commutation losses in synchronous rectification. |
Pinout & Package
NP40N10VDF-E2-AY uses the TO-252 (MP-3ZP) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical performance. The package has four terminals: Gate, Drain, Source, and Fin (Drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Accepts logic-level gate drive (3.3 V/5 V compatible); requires ESD protection due to oxide sensitivity. |
| 2 (Drain) | Main power output | Connected to high-side or low-side switch node; electrically tied to exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return reference | Serves as common return path for load current and gate drive reference; low-inductance layout critical for stability. |
| 4 (Fin / Drain) | Thermal & electrical drain extension | Exposed metal pad soldered to PCB copper pour to enhance heat dissipation and reduce Rth(ch-A). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) range of 1.5–2.5 V enables direct drive from MCU GPIOs without external level shifters or gate drivers. |
| Low Ciss | 2100 pF typical - Reduces gate drive power and improves high-frequency switching efficiency in SMPS designs. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 67 ns and Qrr = 162 nC - Enables reliable operation in freewheeling paths and synchronous rectification circuits. |
| Rugged avalanche rating | EAS = 61 mJ - Allows safe operation during inductive load switching without external snubbers in many automotive applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL100N10F7 | RDS(on) = 9.5 mΩ @ 10 V, but rated only for 100 V/80 A and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Higher current capability but lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for safety-critical ECU functions. | Select when higher efficiency is prioritized over automotive compliance and qualification traceability. |
| IXTP40N10L2 | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220 package, Rth(ch-A) = 62 °C/W (with heatsink), no AEC-Q101 certification. | Through-hole mounting and higher thermal resistance limit use in space-constrained automotive modules. | Prefer for industrial prototypes or non-automotive 48 V systems where board-level reliability validation is internal. |
