Product details
Overview
PSMNR55-40SSH from Nexperia is an N-channel standard-level MOSFET in LFPAK88 (SOT1235) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 0.55 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V VGS, and 500 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It employs NextPowerS3 SchottkyPlus technology for low spiking, soft body-diode recovery, and avalanche ruggedness (1375 mJ), targeting high-efficiency, high-frequency switching in power stages.
For engineers reviewing the PSMNR55-40SSH datasheet, PSMNR55-40SSH pinout, PSMNR55-40SSH application, or PSMNR55-40SSH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.35 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance, 190–267 nC total gate charge, 32–65 nC gate-drain charge, and LFPAK88 footprint compatibility with D2PAK-replacement layouts in high-current BMS and eFuse designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses copper-clip die attach and exposed mounting base (drain-connected) to minimize package inductance and thermal resistance. Its SchottkyPlus body diode delivers soft reverse recovery (trr = 62 ns, Qr = 93 nC) without elevated IDSS leakage-enabling low-EMI synchronous rectification and hot-swap control.
The device features narrow VGS(th) (2.4–3.6 V at 25 °C) and strong linear-mode SOA, supporting parallel operation and safe high-current switching up to 175 °C junction temperature. Gate drive is compatible with standard 10 V logic, with low QG/QGD optimized for >100 kHz PWM operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 36 V nominal systems like server PSUs and 48 V battery architectures. |
| RDS(on) | 0.55 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 500 A, critical for minimizing thermal stress in high-current paths. |
| ID (cont) | 500 A continuous at Tmb = 25 °C - validated under application conditions; actual current limited by PCB copper area and heatsinking design. |
| QG(tot) | 190–267 nC - low total gate charge reduces driver power and switching losses, especially beneficial above 200 kHz switching frequencies. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.35 K/W typical - enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink or copper plane, supporting high-power density layout in compact modules. |
| EAS | 1375 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - provides robustness against inductive load transients in motor control and hot-swap applications. |
| trr | 62 ns reverse recovery time - ensures minimal voltage overshoot and ringing during commutation, reducing EMI filter burden. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK88 (SOT1235) is a 4-lead, 8 mm × 8 mm × 1.6 mm surface-mount package with exposed copper mounting base (drain-connected) for low-inductance, high-current routing and enhanced thermal performance. The lead-frame design supports automated optical solder-joint inspection and withstands mechanical stress better than D2PAK.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Gate) | Control terminal for MOSFET turn-on/turn-off; requires ≤20 V DC rating and low-impedance drive due to 190–267 nC QG. |
| 2, 3, 4 | S (Source) | Three parallel source terminals reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing; connected internally to source metallization. |
| mb | D (Drain / Mounting Base) | Exposed copper base electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current return node-must be soldered to large copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SchottkyPlus body diode | Soft reverse recovery (ta = 29 ns, tb = 24 ns) with Qr = 93 nC and VSD = 0.79 V - eliminates need for external Schottky in synchronous rectifiers while avoiding high leakage. |
| LFPAK88 package | 8 × 8 mm footprint with copper-clip die attach - achieves 0.35 K/W Rth(j-mb) and supports 500 A continuous current without wire bonds, improving reliability over D2PAK. |
| Narrow VGS(th) | 2.4–3.6 V at 25 °C - enables consistent turn-on across units and stable current sharing in paralleled configurations for scalable power designs. |
| Avalanche rating | 100% tested to 1375 mJ EAS - guarantees ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching events in motor drives and eFuse circuits. |
| High-temperature qualification | Rated to 175 °C junction temperature and UL2595 compliant - suitable for sealed, high-ambient environments such as industrial BMS enclosures and telecom power shelves. |

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for PSMNR55-40SSH in a 100 kHz synchronous buck converter?
A 2.2 Ω to 5.6 Ω gate resistor is recommended to balance switching speed and gate-drive stability. With QG = 190–267 nC and typical driver output impedance, this range limits dV/dt to ~10 V/ns and suppresses oscillation during turn-on/turn-off, especially when driving into the 15 pF Crss capacitance.
Can PSMNR55-40SSH be paralleled with identical units without external current-sharing resistors?
Yes-its narrow VGS(th) tolerance (2.4–3.6 V at 25 °C) and positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient ensure inherent current balancing. At 105 °C junction temperature, RDS(on) rises to 0.68 mΩ (typ), promoting thermal self-balancing across paralleled devices without added loss or board space.
Is the mounting base (mb) electrically isolated from the PCB copper pour?
No-the mounting base is internally connected to the drain and must be soldered directly to a dedicated drain-copper pour. Electrical isolation is not supported; creepage and clearance comply with UL2595 only when mounted per Nexperia's SOT1235 footprint guidelines with minimum 1.25 mm solder mask dams and 0.7 mm land extensions.
Does PSMNR55-40SSH require a negative gate turn-off voltage to ensure reliable blocking?
No-its VGS rating of ±20 V allows robust 0 V turn-off. With VGS(th) ≥ 2.4 V and low gate leakage (<100 nA at 25 °C), zero-volt gate bias fully sustains cutoff under all operating temperatures, eliminating need for active negative bias circuitry in most high-side or half-bridge configurations.
