Product details
Overview
PSMNR90-40YLHX from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in LFPAK56E (SOT1023) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 0.94 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 25 A, 300 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction operation-designed for high-efficiency synchronous rectification and server power supply switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the PSMNR90-40YLHX datasheet, PSMNR90-40YLHX pinout, PSMNR90-40YLHX application, or PSMNR90-40YLHX equivalent, key selection criteria include low QG/QGD for EMI-sensitive DC-DC converters, Schottky-Plus body diode for soft reverse recovery in BLDC motor control, and copper-clip LFPAK56E thermal performance for high-current load-switch designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Nexperia's NextPower-S3 Superjunction trench technology with Schottky-Plus body diode integration, enabling fast switching with soft recovery and low QRR (53 nC typical). Its gate threshold voltage is 1.7 V (typ), optimized for 4.5 V logic-level drive while maintaining robust SOA in linear mode.
The device features exposed mounting base (drain-connected), triple-source terminals, and low parasitic inductance/resistance due to copper-clip die attach and solder die bonding-enabling high-current pulse handling up to 1613 A (10 µs) and avalanche energy rating of 2706 mJ (non-repetitive).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - supports 12 V/24 V/36 V input rails with 10 % margin for transients in server PSUs and eFuse applications. |
| RDS(on) | 0.94 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, 25 A, 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A, critical for high-current synchronous rectifiers. |
| ID (cont) | 300 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated under application conditions; actual PCB thermal design determines real-world current capability. |
| QG(tot) | 76 nC max at VGS = 4.5 V - ensures fast turn-on with low gate-drive power, reducing switching losses in 300–500 kHz DC-DC converters. |
| QGD | 26 nC max - minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves controllability during hard switching in half-bridge topologies. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - qualified for extended operation in thermally constrained environments such as sealed server power modules. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.45 K/W max - enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink via mounting base, supporting >250 W dissipation with proper board layout. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56E (SOT1023) is a 4-lead, single-ended surface-mount package with copper-clip construction, solder die attach, and exposed mounting base (drain-connected). It delivers low-inductance, high-reliability interconnect suitable for wave soldering and visual solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source terminals reduce bond-wire inductance and current density; enable high-current return path routing on PCB. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low RG (1 Ω typ); designed for direct connection to gate drivers without series resistance in most 4.5 V–10 V drive scenarios. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current output node-requires dedicated thermal pad and solder stencil design per Fig. 18. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schottky-Plus body diode | Soft reverse recovery (trr = 45 ns, Qr = 53 nC) without elevated IDSS leakage-eliminates snubber needs in synchronous rectifier flyback and LLC phases. |
| Avalanche rating | 100 % tested unclamped avalanche energy: 2706 mJ at 25 °C - enables robustness against inductive switching transients in motor control and load-switch fault events. |
| NextPower-S3 Superjunction | Optimized for 4.5 V gate drive with VGS(th) = 1.7 V (typ) and ΔVGS(th)/ΔT = −4.9 mV/K - ensures stable turn-on across automotive-grade temperature range without gate overdrive. |
| LFPAK56E reliability | Qualified to 175 °C junction, wave-solderable leads, and visual solder-joint inspection capability - supports high-yield, high-reliability manufacturing in industrial power modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP026N04L | RDS(on) = 0.95 mΩ @ 10 V, but uses TO-220FP package (higher Rth(j-a) = 35 K/W vs. 0.45 K/W) and lacks Schottky-Plus diode. | Requires heatsink and external snubber in synchronous rectification; unsuitable for space-constrained eFuse designs. | Prefer only when through-hole assembly or legacy footprint compatibility is mandatory. |
| Vishay SiR626DP | RDS(on) = 0.85 mΩ @ 10 V, PowerPAK SO-8 package, but QG(tot) = 92 nC (vs. 76 nC) and no 100 % avalanche test. | Higher gate charge increases driver loss in high-frequency DC-DC; lower avalanche ruggedness reduces margin in motor control fault conditions. | Select only if lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over switching loss and transient robustness requirements. |
Compared with IPP026N04L and SiR626DP, PSMNR90-40YLHX uniquely combines LFPAK56E's ultra-low thermal resistance, Schottky-Plus soft recovery, and 100 % avalanche testing-making it optimal for thermally dense, EMI-sensitive, and fault-prone high-current switching where reliability and efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMNR90-40YLHX at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is 285 A (per Table 5 Limiting Values). This derating reflects thermal constraints of the LFPAK56E package and must be validated against actual PCB copper area, airflow, and ambient conditions-not just datasheet curves.
Does PSMNR90-40YLHX require a gate resistor for standard 4.5 V logic-level drive?
No external gate resistor is required for basic turn-on with 4.5 V drive, as its gate resistance is 1 Ω (typ) and QG is optimized for low-drive applications. However, a 2–5 Ω series resistor is recommended to damp ringing in high-di/dt layouts and prevent overshoot in half-bridge configurations.
How does the Schottky-Plus body diode differ from a standard MOSFET body diode in practical operation?
The Schottky-Plus diode delivers soft reverse recovery (trr = 45 ns, Qr = 53 nC) with minimal tail current, reducing EMI and eliminating voltage spikes during commutation-unlike conventional body diodes that exhibit hard recovery and require snubbers in synchronous rectifiers.
Can PSMNR90-40YLHX be used in automotive applications?
No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified and carries no automotive qualification statement in its official documentation. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive status in Section 13 (Legal Information); use in safety-critical vehicle systems is prohibited without additional validation and agreement.
