Product details
Overview
PHD96NQ03LT,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS power MOSFET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for high-efficiency switching in DC-to-DC converters. It delivers 75 A continuous drain current at VGS = 5 V, exhibits RDS(on) of 5.6 mΩ (typ.) at 5 V gate drive and 25 °C, supports 25 V drain-source voltage rating, and features low QG (26.7 nC typ.) for fast switching with minimal gate drive loss.
For engineers reviewing the PHD96NQ03LT,118 datasheet, PHD96NQ03LT,118 pinout, PHD96NQ03LT,118 application, or PHD96NQ03LT,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate compatibility (VGS(th) = 1–2 V), thermal resistance to mounting base (Rth(j-mb) = 1.3 K/W), avalanche energy rating (185 mJ), and suitability for high-current synchronous rectification and hot-swap circuits.
Technical Context
This device employs NXP's TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and low gate charge simultaneously. Its threshold voltage range (1–2 V at 25 °C) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, while its 25 V VDS rating targets intermediate-voltage DC-DC stages such as point-of-load (POL) regulators and battery-powered systems.
The integrated source-drain diode has VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at 25 A and trr = 43 ns, supporting efficient freewheeling in buck topologies. Thermal design is enabled by direct mounting-base conduction (Rth(j-mb) = 1.3 K/W) and a robust 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines use in ≤24 V input systems like telecom POLs and industrial 24 V rails. |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C, VGS = 5 V - Sustained current capability under standard logic-level gate drive without heatsink derating. |
| RDS(on) | 5.6 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = 5 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss enabling <1 W dissipation at 25 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages. |
| QG(tot) | 26.7 nC (typ.) - Enables fast switching with low gate driver power demand; reduces switching loss in high-frequency (>500 kHz) converters. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.3 K/W - Thermal path directly from die to mounting base allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink, simplifying thermal management. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V at Tj = 25 °C - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGA I/O, eliminating need for level-shifting gate drivers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PHD96NQ03LT,118 at 5 V gate drive?
The PHD96NQ03LT,118 supports 75 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C and VGS = 5 V, as specified in the Quick Reference Data table. At elevated mounting base temperatures, this rating decreases per the normalized derating curve in Figure 1-e.g., ~50 A at Tmb = 100 °C. This value reflects actual conduction capability under logic-level drive without external gate boosting.
Does PHD96NQ03LT,118 have avalanche capability, and what is its rated energy?
Yes, PHD96NQ03LT,118 is rated for non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy of 185 mJ under specified test conditions (VGS = 10 V, ID = 43 A, Vsup ≤15 V, RGS = 50 Ω, tp = 0.25 ms, unclamped). This ruggedness enables reliable operation during inductive switching faults in DC-DC and motor drive applications without requiring external protection components.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for PHD96NQ03LT,118?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for PHD96NQ03LT,118 is 1.0–2.0 V at Tj = 25 °C and ID = 1 mA, as confirmed in Table 6. It decreases to 0.5 V minimum at Tj = 175 °C and increases to 2.3 V maximum at Tj = −55 °C. This wide logic-compatible range ensures consistent turn-on across industrial temperature extremes using standard 3.3 V or 5 V controllers.
Can PHD96NQ03LT,118 be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes, PHD96NQ03LT,118 is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (5.6 mΩ typ. at 5 V), low source-drain forward voltage (VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at 25 A), and fast reverse recovery time (trr = 43 ns). Its logic-level gate enables direct control by PWM controllers or microcontrollers without level shifters, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in buck and boost converters.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mounting base for PHD96NQ03LT,118?
The thermal resistance from junction to mounting base (Rth(j-mb)) for PHD96NQ03LT,118 is 1.3 K/W maximum, as specified in Table 5. This low value is achieved via the drain-connected mounting base in the DPAK (SOT428) package, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pours or external heatsinks-critical for maintaining Tj ≤175 °C under high-current operation.
