Product details
Overview
PSMN3R3-80PS from Nexperia is an N-channel standard-level MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 80 V drain-source voltage, 3.3 mΩ RDS(on) at 25 °C, and 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is optimized for high-efficiency power switching in server PSUs and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN3R3-80PS datasheet, PSMN3R3-80PS pinout, PSMN3R3-80PS application, or PSMN3R3-80PS equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, robust avalanche energy rating (676 mJ), thermal resistance to mounting base (0.22–0.44 K/W), and compatibility with standard-level gate drivers in high-current DC-DC and load-switching designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized channel geometry to achieve low conduction losses while maintaining ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V at 25 °C) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V logic-level drivers without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
The device features a fast intrinsic body diode (trr = 63 ns, Qr = 121 nC) and low output capacitance (Coss = 847 pF), enabling efficient hard-switching operation in synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V input systems and 60 V bus rails. |
| RDS(on) | 3.3 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for high-current load switches. |
| ID (cont) | 120 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Supports high-power server PSU outputs and industrial motor phase legs when heatsinked. |
| EAS | 676 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy in motor drive freewheeling and relay snubbing without failure. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.22–0.44 K/W - Direct thermal path to heatsink enables >200 W dissipation with modest thermal interface resistance. |
| QG(tot) | 139 nC - Compatible with standard gate drivers (e.g., UCC27531) delivering ≥2 A peak without excessive drive loss. |
| tf/tr | 44 ns / 43 ns - Supports switching frequencies up to 500 kHz in resonant or hard-switched converters. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB (SOT78) plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounted backplate and one mounting hole; 3-lead configuration. Mounting base (mb) serves as thermal and electrical connection to drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal accepting 10 V standard-level drive; internal gate resistance 0.9 Ω limits ringing and simplifies layout. |
| 2 | Drain (D) | High-side switch node connected to package backplate (mb); requires isolation from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| 3 | Source (S) | Power return path and reference for gate drive; low-inductance source bond wires minimize switching overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 10 V - eliminates need for gate driver boost stages in 12/24 V systems. |
| High-temperature qualification | Rated for 175 °C junction operation - supports compact, sealed enclosures in industrial motor drives and telecom rectifiers. |
| Low gate charge | QG(tot) = 139 nC - reduces driver power loss and enables higher-frequency operation without sacrificing efficiency. |
| Rugged body diode | trr = 63 ns, Qr = 121 nC - minimizes reverse recovery loss in synchronous buck and LLC secondary-side rectification. |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 676 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive transients in motor phase-leg and solenoid drive applications. |
Applications
| Server Power Supplies | DC-to-DC Converters |

Use Value: 3.3 mΩ RDS(on) at 25 °C reduces conduction loss by >35% vs. comparable 5 mΩ devices, directly improving full-load efficiency. |
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion in industrial PLC power modules converting 24 V to 5 V/3.3 V for logic rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in synchronous buck topology with 100–250 kHz PWM frequency.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF1405PBF | RDS(on) = 5.3 mΩ @ 10 V; QG = 131 nC; TO-220 package; 55 V rating | Limited to ≤55 V systems; higher conduction loss increases thermal stress in 48 V server rails. | Choose only if voltage requirement is ≤55 V and cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency loss. |
| STP120N80M5 | RDS(on) = 5.8 mΩ @ 10 V; QG = 120 nC; TO-247 package; 80 V rating | Higher RDS(on) and larger TO-247 footprint increase board area and conduction loss vs. PSMN3R3-80PS. | Prefer when higher avalanche rating (EAS = 1.2 J) justifies trade-off in size and efficiency for harsh motor environments. |
Compared with IRF1405PBF and STP120N80M5, PSMN3R3-80PS delivers the lowest RDS(on) in TO-220 form factor for 80 V systems, enabling higher power density and lower thermal design complexity in space-constrained server and industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN3R3-80PS at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is derated to approximately 75 A, based on Figure 1 of the datasheet. This reflects thermal limitation of the TO-220AB package rather than semiconductor capability, and assumes proper heatsinking with low thermal interface resistance.
Does PSMN3R3-80PS have avalanche capability, and how is it specified?
Yes - it is fully rated for non-repetitive drain-source avalanche with EAS = 676 mJ under defined conditions: VGS = 10 V, Tj(init) = 25 °C, ID = 120 A, Vsup ≤ 80 V, and RGS = 50 Ω. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and applies to unclamped inductive switching events.
Can PSMN3R3-80PS be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - its gate threshold voltage range is 2–4 V, but full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V for low RDS(on). Driving from 3.3 V will result in partial turn-on and excessive conduction loss (>10× nominal). A dedicated gate driver or level shifter is required.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for PSMN3R3-80PS in free air?
Rth(j-a) is 60 K/W in vertical free-air orientation, per Table 5. However, this value is not practical for operational use - the device must be mounted to a heatsink. The relevant spec is Rth(j-mb) = 0.22–0.44 K/W, which governs real-world thermal performance when properly heatsinked.
