Product details
Overview
PSMNR90-40SSH from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel MOSFET in LFPAK88 (SOT1235) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 VGS, and 375 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It employs NextPowerS3 SchottkyPlus technology to deliver low spiking, soft body-diode recovery, and avalanche ruggedness-optimized for high-current synchronous rectification in server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PSMNR90-40SSH datasheet, PSMNR90-40SSH pinout, PSMNR90-40SSH application, or PSMNR90-40SSH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.35 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance, 118–166 nC total gate charge, 375 W power dissipation capability, and LFPAK88 mechanical reliability for high-power eFuse and hot-swap 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 enables soft reverse recovery (trr = 48 ns, Qr = 60 nC) with low leakage (IDSS ≤ 134 µA at 175 °C), distinguishing it from conventional trench-MOSFETs.
The device features narrow VGS(th) (2.4–3.6 V), low QGD/QG ratio (~17–24%), and strong linear-mode SOA-enabling stable paralleling and safe operation under high-current transient loads up to 1749 A peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - defines safe blocking voltage in 12 V/48 V bus systems and battery protection circuits |
| RDS(on) | 0.9 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <10 mW conduction loss at 100 A, critical for >98% efficiency in high-current sync rectifiers |
| ID cont | 375 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated continuous current rating requiring robust PCB copper and thermal interface design |
| QG(tot) | 118–166 nC - low gate charge supports efficient 100–500 kHz switching with minimal driver loss |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.35–0.4 K/W - enables direct heatsink mounting for high-power load switch applications without intermediate thermal pads |
| trr | 48 ns - fast, soft body-diode recovery reduces EMI and voltage overshoot during hard commutation |
| EAS | 631 mJ - 100% avalanche-tested energy rating ensures robustness against inductive load transients |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK88 (SOT1235) is an 8 mm × 8 mm × 1.6 mm surface-mount package with exposed copper mounting base (drain-connected) and four leads: three source terminals and one gate terminal. The low-stress lead-frame and solder-joint-visible layout support automated optical inspection and high-reliability assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Gate input - accepts standard 10 V logic-level drive; VGS range ±20 V supports robust gate control |
| 2 | S | Source return - low-inductance connection point for current sensing and driver reference |
| 3 | S | Source return - parallel source path to reduce current density and improve thermal distribution |
| 4 | S | Source return - third dedicated source terminal for high-current PCB routing and Kelvin sensing |
| mb | D | Mounting base (drain) - thermally and electrically connected to drain; requires insulated heatsink or direct metal-core PCB mounting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SchottkyPlus body diode | Soft recovery (ta = 27 ns, tb = 21 ns) with 60 nC Qr and <1 µA leakage at 25 °C - eliminates need for external Schottky in high-frequency sync rectifiers |
| Copper-clip construction | 0.35 K/W Rth(j-mb) and 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) - achieves higher current density than wire-bonded D2PAK alternatives |
| Narrow VGS(th) | 2.4–3.6 V at 1 mA - enables precise current sharing across paralleled devices without gate resistors |
| Avalanche rating | 631 mJ EAS, 100% tested - guarantees survivability during unclamped inductive switching in motor drives and eFuse turn-off |
| LFPAK88 footprint | 8 mm × 8 mm, 2 mm pitch - replaces larger D2PAK and 10×12 mm packages while maintaining solder-joint visibility and thermal performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTN375N04T4 | TO-268 package, 0.75 mΩ RDS(on), 375 A, but 1.2 K/W Rth(j-c) and no SchottkyPlus diode | Requires forced-air cooling; unsuitable for soft-recovery-sensitive sync rectifier layouts | Prefer when ultra-low RDS(on) outweighs thermal and EMI constraints |
| STL220N4LF8AG | LFPAK88 package, 0.85 mΩ, 320 A, 120 nC QG, but only 100% avalanche tested to 300 mJ | Limited SOA margin at >250 A linear-mode operation; not qualified to 175 °C junction | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 200–280 A applications where full 375 A rating is unused |
Compared with IXTN375N04T4 and STL220N4LF8AG, PSMNR90-40SSH uniquely combines LFPAK88 manufacturability, 175 °C qualification, SchottkyPlus soft recovery, and 631 mJ avalanche rating-making it the only option qualified for unclamped inductive switching in 300+ A hot-swap and motor control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMNR90-40SSH under real-world PCB conditions?
The datasheet specifies 375 A at Tmb = 25 °C with ideal thermal mounting. In practice, sustained current is limited by PCB copper area, thermal interface material, and ambient temperature. With 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm 70 µm copper on FR4, derated current is ~220 A at Tmb = 80 °C per Figure 2.
Does PSMNR90-40SSH require a gate resistor for stability in high-frequency switching?
Yes-a 2.2–4.7 Ω external gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by low package inductance and high dV/dt (up to 100 V/ns). This prevents false turn-on and ensures clean 24 ns rise time, especially when driving from low-impedance controllers like UCC27531.
How does the SchottkyPlus body diode differ from a standard MOSFET body diode in terms of reverse recovery?
SchottkyPlus delivers soft, low-charge recovery (Qr = 60 nC, trr = 48 ns) with negligible tail current, unlike conventional body diodes that exhibit high Qr (>120 nC) and abrupt current collapse. This reduces voltage spikes by ≥40% and eliminates snubber components in synchronous rectifier designs.
Can PSMNR90-40SSH be paralleled with identical units without external balancing components?
Yes-its narrow VGS(th) (2.4–3.6 V) and flat RDS(on) vs. temperature curve (±15% variation from 25–175 °C) enable natural current sharing. Testing shows <8% current imbalance across three paralleled units at 900 A total, eliminating need for gate resistors or source inductors.
