Nexperia USA Inc. PSMN7R5-60YLX

Overview

PSMN7R5-60YL from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel MOSFET rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 7.5 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V and 20 A, and 86 A continuous drain current at T_mb = 25 °C in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package. It delivers high power density for synchronous rectification, USB-PD fast charging, and battery-powered motor control where low gate drive voltage and avalanche ruggedness are critical.

For engineers reviewing the PSMN7R5-60YL datasheet, PSMN7R5-60YL pinout, PSMN7R5-60YL application, or PSMN7R5-60YL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 V logic-compatible gate threshold, 76.5 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, 1.02 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance, and LFPAK56 footprint compatibility with Power-SO8 layouts.

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs Nexperia's TrenchMOS technology to achieve low R_DS(on) and low gate charge simultaneously. Its gate-source threshold voltage ranges from 1.4 V (min) to 2.1 V (max) at 25 °C, enabling robust turn-on with 5 V microcontroller outputs without level shifting.

The device integrates an intrinsic source-drain diode with 0.82–1.2 V forward voltage at 20 A and 24 ns reverse recovery time, supporting high-frequency synchronous rectification. Its 3435–4570 pF input capacitance and 150–205 pF reverse transfer capacitance support efficient switching up to several hundred kHz in LLC resonant converters.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?

At T_mb = 100 °C and V_GS = 5 V, the maximum continuous drain current is 61 A, as specified in Table 4 (Limiting values). This derating reflects thermal constraints of the LFPAK56 package under real-world PCB heatsinking conditions, not ambient temperature limits.

Does PSMN7R5-60YL require a gate resistor for stability in 500 kHz switching?

Yes - a 5 Ω external gate resistor is used in the datasheet's switching characterization (Fig. 3, Fig. 14), confirming its necessity to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 150–205 pF) and PCB layout inductance. Omitting it risks shoot-through and EMI in high-frequency LLC operation.

Is the mounting base electrically isolated from other pins?

No - the mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal, as confirmed in Table 2 (Pinning information) and Figure 17 (Package outline). It must be routed to the high-side drain net and thermally coupled to a copper pour, not isolated or grounded.

Can this MOSFET replace a standard 60 V SO-8 MOSFET without layout changes?

Yes - LFPAK56 (SOT669) shares identical PCB footprint and pin numbering with Power-SO8, including 1.27 mm lead pitch and 4.41 × 3.62 mm body dimensions. The mounting base replaces the traditional drain tab, enabling drop-in replacement while improving thermal performance by 25%.
