Product details
Overview
PSMN4R2-80YSEX from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in LFPAK56E (SOT1023) package, rated for 80 V VDS, 4.2 mΩ RDS(on) at Tj = 25 °C, 170 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and qualified to 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers robust linear-mode SOA performance for hot-swap and e-fuse applications in 48 V telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN4R2-80YSEX datasheet, PSMN4R2-80YSEX pinout, PSMN4R2-80YSEX application, or PSMN4R2-80YSEX equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.45 K/W), avalanche energy rating (374 mJ), gate charge profile (QG(tot) = 73 nC typ), and real-world load-switching use cases.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a copper-clip LFPAK56E construction enabling low parasitic inductance and high thermal conductivity to mounting base. Its enhanced SOA is validated across pulse widths up to 100 ms and drain-source voltages up to 80 V, with linear-mode operation supported by tightly controlled RDS(on) temperature coefficient (−6.1 mV/K).
The device features a 100% tested unclamped avalanche capability (EAS = 374 mJ), fast switching dynamics (tr = 25 ns, tf = 24 ns), and gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2.6 V typ at 25 °C - optimized for compatibility with standard 5 V and 10 V gate drivers in hot-swap controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V maximum drain-source voltage - supports 48 V backplane systems with ≥1.6× safety margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) | 4.2 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 60 A DC. |
| ID (cont) | 170 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated continuous current under ideal PCB thermal conditions per Fig. 2. |
| EAS | 374 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - withstands unclamped inductive turn-off events in e-fuse protection. |
| QG(tot) | 73 nC typical total gate charge - balances switching speed and driver loss in 100–500 kHz hot-swap control loops. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.45 K/W typical junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - enables >250 W power dissipation with 100 K ΔT to heatsink. |
| tr/tf | 25 ns rise / 24 ns fall time - supports fast, controlled turn-on for soft-start without excessive dI/dt-induced noise. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56E (SOT1023) is a 4-lead, single-ended surface-mount copper-clip package with 1.27 mm pitch and 30 mm² footprint - 80% smaller than D2PAK while delivering superior thermal and SOA performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt switching. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with 1.04 Ω typical gate resistance - compatible with standard MOSFET drivers without external gate resistor. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper drain pad soldered directly to PCB thermal plane - primary heat path to heatsink or copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced Safe Operating Area (SOA) | Validated linear-mode operation up to 100 ms pulses at 80 V - critical for reliable hot-swap inrush limiting. |
| Low RDS(on) with tight tempco | RDS(on) = 4.2 mΩ @ 25 °C, rising only 1.9× at 175 °C - ensures stable conduction loss over full industrial temperature range. |
| High-current source configuration | Triple-source-pin layout minimizes source loop inductance - reduces voltage overshoot during fast turn-off in e-fuse mode. |
| Avalanche ruggedness | 374 mJ EAS with 100% production test - eliminates need for external snubbers in unclamped inductive load switching. |
| Thermal efficiency | Rth(j-mb) = 0.45 K/W - enables >2× higher power density vs. TO-252 or D2PAK in same PCB area. |
Applications
| Hot Swap Controller Interface | 48 V Telecom Load Switch |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Insertion of line cards into live 48 V backplane with controlled inrush current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power FET in discrete or controller-assisted hot-swap circuit; operates in linear mode during ramp-up, then fully ON. Use Value: 374 mJ avalanche rating and extended SOA prevent failure during repeated plug-in events; 4.2 mΩ RDS(on) limits steady-state loss to <1.2 W at 55 A. |
Use Scenario: Remote ON/OFF control of 48 V distributed power modules in base station equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated load-switch IC. Use Value: Triple-source pins suppress ringing during 100 A+ switching; 170 A continuous rating supports peak loads without derating on 2-oz copper. |
| Programmable E-Fuse Protection | Soft-Start Circuit for DC-DC Modules |
|
Use Scenario: Overcurrent protection for 48 V intermediate bus supplying multiple POL converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-sense FET in analog or digital e-fuse IC feedback path; conducts fault current until trip. Use Value: Linear-mode SOA allows sustained 30–50 A fault currents for 10–100 ms before shutdown - enables selective downstream fault isolation. |
Use Scenario: Controlled ramp-up of output voltage in high-power 48 V → 12 V/5 V DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gate-controlled series FET between input rail and converter input capacitor bank. Use Value: 25 ns rise time enables precise 1–10 ms soft-start timing; low QG (73 nC) permits direct drive from low-power PWM generator. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 80 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSMN3R3-80YSF | RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ typ at 25 °C; higher gate charge (QG(tot) = 92 nC); same LFPAK56E package. | Better conduction loss but slower switching - preferred where efficiency dominates over dynamic loss. | Select when system thermal design prioritizes <1 W conduction loss at >80 A, and gate driver can support higher QG. |
| IPB037N08N5 | TO-263-7 package; RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ; lower SOA rating (220 mJ EAS); no triple-source configuration. | Larger footprint (100 mm² vs. 30 mm²); less effective for high-di/dt hot-swap due to higher source inductance. | Choose only if legacy TO-263 layout reuse is required and avalanche energy margin is verified below 300 mJ. |
Compared with PSMN3R3-80YSF, PSMN4R2-80YSEX trades 0.9 mΩ higher RDS(on) for 25% lower QG(tot) and identical SOA - favoring faster switching and reduced driver stress. Against IPB037N08N5, it delivers 80% smaller footprint, 70% better avalanche energy, and lower source inductance - critical for next-gen compact hot-swap designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN4R2-80YSEX at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is 123 A per Figure 2 of the datasheet. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated mounting temperatures - not a device limitation but a PCB-dependent operational boundary.
Does PSMN4R2-80YSEX require a gate resistor for safe operation with a 5 V microcontroller GPIO?
No external gate resistor is required for basic ON/OFF control from a 5 V GPIO, as VGS(th) is 2.6 V typical and the device turns fully ON at VGS ≥ 4.5 V. However, a 5–10 Ω series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing during fast switching in high-di/dt applications like hot-swap.
How is the mounting base (drain) electrically isolated from the PCB in standard layouts?
The mounting base is the drain terminal and is not electrically isolated - it must be connected to the high-side DC rail (e.g., 48 V) via soldered copper pour. Isolation is achieved by routing adjacent traces with ≥0.5 mm clearance and using appropriate dielectric thickness per IPC-2221; no internal insulation exists.
Can PSMN4R2-80YSEX replace older D2PAK MOSFETs without PCB redesign?
No - LFPAK56E (SOT1023) has a 30 mm² footprint versus ~150 mm² for D2PAK. Direct replacement requires new land pattern per Figure 20 (reflow footprint) and thermal via placement aligned to the 4.45 × 4.95 mm mounting base. The smaller size enables denser layouts but mandates layout revision.
