Product details
Overview
PSMN3R5-40YSD from Nexperia is an N-channel standard-level MOSFET in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 25 A, 120 A continuous drain current capability, and qualified for 175 °C operation. It delivers high-efficiency power switching in synchronous rectification and BLDC motor control with Schottky-Plus body diode and soft-recovery characteristics.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN3R5-40YSD datasheet, PSMN3R5-40YSD pinout, PSMN3R5-40YSD application, or PSMN3R5-40YSD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5 mΩ on-resistance at 25 °C, 120 A current rating, 175 °C junction temperature capability, LFPAK56 thermal performance (Rth(j-mb) = 1.18 K/W), and avalanche-rated ruggedness (IAS = 120 A).
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Nexperia's NextPower-S3 TrenchMOS Superjunction technology with Schottky-Plus body diode integration, enabling superfast switching with soft reverse recovery (trr = 25 ns, Qr = 16 nC). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.4–3.6 V) and tight distribution support stable paralleling in high-current designs.
The device features low dynamic parameters: QG(tot) = 31–44 nC, QGD = 5–10 nC, and Ciss/Coss/Crss = 2318/785/114 pF (typ.) at VDS = 20 V, supporting high-frequency DC-DC conversion up to several hundred kHz while minimizing EMI and switching losses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 12–36 V bus systems |
| RDS(on) | 3.5 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A |
| ID (cont) | 120 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated continuous current under optimized thermal mounting |
| QG(tot) | 31–44 nC - determines gate drive power and switching speed in hard-switched topologies |
| trr | 25 ns typical - ensures minimal reverse recovery loss and reduced voltage overshoot in synchronous rectifiers |

| VSD | 0.83–1.2 V at IS = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - low forward drop of integrated Schottky-Plus body diode |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a copper-clip, solder-die-attach surface-mount package with exposed mounting base connected to drain, optimized for high-power density and 175 °C operation. Its footprint supports wave and reflow soldering, with visual solder-joint inspection enabled by exposed leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low RG (0.3–2 Ω) - compatible with standard 10 V logic-level drivers |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically and thermally connected to drain - primary heat path to PCB heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NextPower-S3 Schottky-Plus body diode | Soft reverse recovery (trr = 25 ns) without high IDSS leakage - eliminates snubbers in synchronous rectifiers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP036N04L | RDS(on) = 3.6 mΩ (typ.), QG = 42 nC, TO-220FP package, no Schottky-Plus diode | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) ≈ 1.8 K/W), no soft-recovery diode | Prefer PSMN3R5-40YSD where board space, thermal performance, or synchronous rectifier soft recovery is critical. |
| Vishay SiR626DP | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ (typ.), QG = 47 nC, PowerPAK SO-8, standard body diode (trr = 45 ns) | Higher reverse recovery charge (Qr ≈ 32 nC), less robust avalanche (IAS = 80 A) | Prefer PSMN3R5-40YSD where low EMI, high avalanche ruggedness, or 175 °C operation is required. |
Compared with IPP036N04L and SiR626DP, PSMN3R5-40YSD offers superior thermal performance via LFPAK56's low Rth(j-mb), verified avalanche ruggedness at full 120 A, and Schottky-Plus diode enabling lower-loss synchronous rectification without compromising leakage or reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN3R5-40YSD under real-world PCB conditions?
The datasheet specifies 120 A continuous current at Tmb = 25 °C with optimized thermal design - achieved using ≥25.4 mm² 70 µm copper area on FR4. Practical current is limited by PCB layout, heatsinking, and ambient temperature; at Tmb = 100 °C, rated current drops to 93 A per Figure 2.
Does PSMN3R5-40YSD support gate drive with 5 V logic-level controllers?
No - it is a standard-level MOSFET requiring VGS ≥ 10 V for full RDS(on) specification (3.5 mΩ). At VGS = 5 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (>10 mΩ); use only with 10 V or higher gate drive to achieve rated performance and avoid excessive conduction loss.
How does the Schottky-Plus body diode differ from a conventional MOSFET body diode?
The Schottky-Plus structure provides a low-VSD (0.83 V), soft-recovery (trr = 25 ns, Qr = 16 nC) intrinsic diode without the high reverse leakage (IDSS) typical of true Schottky diodes - enabling efficient synchronous rectification while maintaining MOSFET-level off-state blocking integrity.
Can PSMN3R5-40YSD be used in linear mode (Ohmic region) for active current limiting?
Yes - it is fully characterized for linear-mode operation with a wide Safe Operating Area (SOA) up to 120 A × 40 V (DC), validated per Figure 3. Its 175 °C rating and copper-clip construction support sustained power dissipation in active current-limit or hot-swap applications when properly heatsunk.
