Product details

Overview

PSMN5R6-100PS from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel MOSFET in TO-220AB (SOT78) package, rated for 100 V drain-source voltage, 5.6 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V and T_j = 25 °C, and qualified to 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 100 A continuous drain current at T_mb = 25 °C and supports high-efficiency power switching in industrial DC-DC converters and motor control stages.

For engineers reviewing the PSMN5R6-100PS datasheet, PSMN5R6-100PS pinout, PSMN5R6-100PS application, or PSMN5R6-100PS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.3–5.6 mΩ R_DS(on) range, 141 nC total gate charge, 469 mJ unclamped avalanche energy, and TO-220AB thermal resistance of 0.3–0.49 K/W (junction-to-mounting base).

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized cell layout for low conduction loss and robust dynamic avalanche performance. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V typ.) ensures compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining stable turn-on behavior across -55 to 175 °C junction temperature.

The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 0.79–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and exhibits 67 ns reverse recovery time and 182 nC recovered charge under defined test conditions - enabling reliable synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies without external diode supplementation.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	100 V maximum - supports 48 V and 60 V bus systems with margin for transient overvoltage
R_DS(on)	4.3–5.6 mΩ at V_GS = 10 V, I_D = 25 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A
I_D (cont.)	100 A at T_mb = 25 °C - requires heatsink mounting for sustained operation above ~30 A
Q_G(tot)	141 nC - determines gate drive power requirement (~1.4 mJ per 10 V switch cycle at 100 kHz)
E_AS	469 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in load-switch or motor-drive fault conditions
R_th(j-mb)	0.3–0.49 K/W - defines thermal path efficiency when mounted to heatsink; enables ~300 W dissipation with 100 K ΔT
C_iss	8061 pF at V_DS = 50 V - impacts high-frequency switching losses and EMI filter design

Pinout & Package

PSMN5R6-100PS uses the TO-220AB (SOT78) plastic single-ended package with heatsink mounting and one mounting hole. The metal mounting base is electrically connected to the drain terminal.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (G)	Gate	Control input; requires ≥10 V for full enhancement; gate leakage ≤100 nA at 20 V
2 (D)	Drain	Main high-side power path; internally bonded to mounting base - must be isolated from heatsink unless drain-referenced
3 (S)	Source	Power return node; referenced to gate drive ground; source-drain diode V_SD = 0.79–1.2 V at 25 A
Mounting Base (mb)	Drain (electrically tied)	Primary thermal interface; contributes >95% of heat removal; requires thermal compound and mechanical clamping

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Low R_DS(on)	4.3 mΩ typical enables <0.8 W conduction loss at 40 A, reducing thermal stress in compact power modules
High avalanche ruggedness	469 mJ non-repetitive E_AS allows safe operation during inductive load interruption without snubber circuits
Standard-level gate drive	2–4 V V_GS(th) and full enhancement at 10 V simplifies use with legacy 10 V gate drivers and eliminates need for level shifters
175 °C junction rating	Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., server PSU hot zones, industrial enclosures) without derating below 100 A
TO-220AB thermal performance	0.3 K/W typical R_th(j-mb) supports >300 W power handling with properly sized heatsink - superior to DPAK/D2PAK alternatives

Applications

Server Power Supply

Industrial Motor Control

Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectification and secondary-side OR-ing in 1U/2U AC-DC PSUs delivering 800–2000 W.

DC-DC Converter

Load Switching

Use Scenario: 48 V–12 V step-down converter in telecom power shelves and data center PDUs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side primary switch operating at 200–500 kHz with 100 A pulsed capability and low Q_G/Q_GD ratio.

Use Value: 43 nC Q_GD minimizes Miller-induced false turn-on risk, enabling robust gate drive with 1.5 Ω external resistor.

Use Scenario: Hot-swap and inrush-limited power distribution in industrial PLC backplanes and modular I/O systems.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-pole, high-current load switch controlling up to 100 A loads with controlled turn-on via gate ramping.

Use Value: 100 V rating and 5.6 mΩ on-resistance allow direct replacement of dual-MOSFET solutions, reducing BOM count and PCB area.

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
STP100N10F7	R_DS(on) = 6.5 mΩ (typ.), Q_G = 120 nC, TO-220FP package (isolated tab)	Lower gate charge improves switching efficiency but higher R_DS(on) increases conduction loss at >60 A	Preferred where gate drive power is constrained and heatsink isolation is required; less suitable for ultra-low-loss 100 A designs
IRF540NPBF	R_DS(on) = 44 mΩ (typ.), V_DS = 100 V, TO-220AB, older planar process	Higher on-resistance and lower avalanche rating (250 mJ) limit use to <20 A continuous or non-avalanche-critical roles	Only viable for cost-sensitive, low-power replacements where thermal headroom exists; not drop-in for PSMN5R6-100PS performance tier

Compared with STP100N10F7 and IRF540NPBF, PSMN5R6-100PS offers the lowest R_DS(on) among TO-220AB 100 V devices, enabling highest current density and best thermal margin in space-constrained industrial power stages - critical for server PSUs and motor drives requiring >80 A continuous conduction.

FAQ

Is PSMN5R6-100PS suitable for surface-mount assembly?

No - PSMN5R6-100PS uses the through-hole TO-220AB (SOT78) package with a metal mounting base designed for heatsink attachment and mechanical clamping. It is not compatible with reflow soldering or SMT pick-and-place processes. Board layout must include plated-through holes for pins 1–3 and a large copper pad for the mounting base with thermal vias.

What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous 100 A operation?

Continuous 100 A operation is only rated at T_mb = 25 °C per Figure 1. At higher mounting base temperatures, current must be derated: e.g., 70 A at T_mb = 75 °C and 40 A at T_mb = 110 °C. Junction temperature must remain ≤175 °C, requiring thermal design that maintains R_th(m-b) + R_th(b-sink) < 0.5 K/W for full-rated current.

Does PSMN5R6-100PS have integrated gate protection?

No - it lacks built-in gate Zener or series resistance. External gate protection is required: a 15 V Zener clamp between gate and source, plus a 10–100 Ω series resistor close to the gate pin, is recommended to prevent V_GS exceeding ±20 V absolute maximum and suppress ringing during fast switching.

Can this MOSFET replace IRF540N in existing designs?

Yes, with electrical and thermal validation - PSMN5R6-100PS offers significantly lower R_DS(on) (5.6 mΩ vs. 44 mΩ), higher current rating (100 A vs. 33 A), and better avalanche capability (469 mJ vs. 250 mJ), but requires updated gate drive strength due to higher Q_G (141 nC vs. 71 nC) and careful thermal management due to higher power density.
