Product details
Overview
PSMN3R2-40YLBX from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 3.3 mΩ RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V / Tj = 25 °C, and 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It employs NextPowerS3 Schottky-Plus technology for soft body-diode recovery and low EMI, targeting high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN3R2-40YLBX datasheet, PSMN3R2-40YLBX pinout, PSMN3R2-40YLBX application, or PSMN3R2-40YLBX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5 V gate drive compatibility, 175 °C junction-rated LFPAK56 package, avalanche ruggedness (100% tested IAS = 120 A), and low Qrr/QG for high-frequency switching efficiency.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS Superjunction architecture optimized for fast switching with soft reverse-recovery characteristics-trr = 24 ns and Qr = 14 nC-enabling reduced voltage overshoot and system-level EMI suppression. Its Schottky-Plus body diode delivers VSD = 0.8–1.0 V @ IS = 25 A and low leakage (IDSS ≤ 1 µA @ 125 °C).
The device features a copper-clip die attach and exposed mounting base (drain-connected) for ultra-low thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 1.18 K/W typ.) and high board-level reliability. Gate threshold voltage is tightly controlled (VGS(th) = 1.35–2.05 V), with negative temperature coefficient (−4.7 mV/K) enabling stable parallel operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - supports 36 V nominal bus systems with 10% margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 2.9–3.3 mΩ typ./max @ 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 120 A, critical for high-current load switches. |
| ID continuous | 120 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - validated under real-world thermal conditions, not just silicon-limited rating. |
| QG(tot) | 12–27 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - low gate charge reduces driver power and enables efficient 500 kHz+ PWM operation. |
| Qrr | 14 nC - minimized reverse recovery charge cuts diode switching losses and dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive-adjacent environments without derating. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.18 K/W typ. - enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or external heatsink on mounting base. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a 4-terminal surface-mount power package with copper-clip construction, solder die attach, and an exposed metal mounting base (drain-connected). It supports wave and reflow soldering, offers visual solder-joint inspection, and achieves low parasitic inductance/resistance for high-speed switching.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source leads reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing; connected internally to source metallization. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low RG (0.3–1.8 Ω) for precise turn-on/turn-off timing control. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically and thermally connected to drain; serves as primary heat path and high-current return node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NextPowerS3 Schottky-Plus body diode | Soft recovery (trr = 24 ns), low VSD (0.8 V), and low Qr (14 nC) eliminate need for external freewheeling diodes in synchronous rectifiers. |
| Avalanche ruggedness | 100% tested IAS = 120 A - ensures robustness against inductive switching stress without external snubbers. |
| EMC-optimized layout | Up to 6 dB lower radiated emissions vs. standard TrenchMOS - reduces need for filtering components in EMI-critical applications. |
| 4.5 V logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.35–2.05 V with −4.7 mV/K tempco - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Strong SOA in linear mode | Rated for sustained operation in active region (e.g., eFuse, hot-swap) with defined safe operating area up to 100 µs pulses. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Brushless DC Motor Control |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP026N04L | 40 V, 2.6 mΩ @ 10 V, but only rated to 150 A @ Tc = 25 °C; no avalanche testing specified; TO-252 package. | Lacks integrated mounting-base thermal path and Schottky-Plus diode; requires external heatsink and freewheeling diode. | Prefer PSMN3R2-40YLBX where board-level thermal management, EMI reduction, or diode-less operation is required. |
| Vishay SiR626DP | 40 V, 3.0 mΩ @ 10 V, 120 A, PowerPAK SO-8; QG = 22 nC @ 4.5 V; no published Qrr or avalanche test data. | Higher Qrr and unverified avalanche performance limit suitability in high-reliability or high-dv/dt environments. | PSMN3R2-40YLBX offers verified ruggedness, lower EMI, and superior thermal interface for space-constrained designs. |
Compared with IPP026N04L and SiR626DP, PSMN3R2-40YLBX uniquely combines 100% avalanche testing, Schottky-Plus soft recovery, and LFPAK56's low-inductance mounting base-making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability power stages where thermal, EMI, and fault robustness are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN3R2-40YLBX at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is 95 A per Figure 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects real thermal limits of the LFPAK56 package under practical PCB thermal conditions-not theoretical silicon capability-and aligns with validated application testing.
Does PSMN3R2-40YLBX require a gate resistor for stability in high-frequency switching?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 2–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance and prevent unintended oscillation. The device's low gate resistance (0.3–1.8 Ω) and fast switching (tr = 21 ns, tf = 12 ns) make external damping essential for clean edges and EMI control.
Can PSMN3R2-40YLBX be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its negative VGS(th) temperature coefficient (−4.7 mV/K) promotes inherent current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared thermal mass on the mounting base to maintain uniform junction temperatures.
Is the mounting base electrically isolated from the PCB in standard assembly?
No-the mounting base is electrically connected to the drain terminal and must be routed as a high-current drain node. It is not insulated; isolation requires either a non-conductive thermal interface material or mechanical separation from grounded copper planes.
