Product details
Overview
PSMNR90-40YSN from Nexperia is an N-channel ASFET optimized for high-current battery system switching, featuring 40 V VDS, 0.97 mΩ RDS(on) at 25 °C, 320 A continuous drain current (Tmb = 25 °C), and 100% avalanche-rated IAS = 190 A - deployed in eFuse, BMS main switch, and BLDC motor phase legs.
For engineers reviewing the PSMNR90-40YSN datasheet, PSMNR90-40YSN pinout, PSMNR90-40YSN application, or PSMNR90-40YSN equivalent, key selection criteria include SOA robustness under transient overload, thermal resistance to mounting base (Rth(j-mb) = 0.48–0.56 K/W), LFPAK56E gull-wing solderability, and low QGD (12–72 nC) for fast switching control.
Technical Context
This device uses a trench-gated silicon MOSFET structure with copper-clip interconnect in LFPAK56E (SOT669), enabling strong safe operating area (SOA) up to 1465 A peak pulsed current and unclamped avalanche energy EDS(AL) = 443 mJ at Tj(init) = 25 °C.
Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 2.4 V (min) to 3.6 V (max) at 25 °C, with negative temperature coefficient (−7.2 mV/K), and exhibits low Ciss = 4552–10622 pF and Coss = 1166–2166 pF for efficient hard-switching in synchronous rectification and load-switch topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - maximum blocking voltage for 12–36 V battery systems with 20 % margin |
| RDS(on) | 0.97 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 320 A |
| ID (cont) | 320 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated continuous current, limited by PCB thermal design in practice |
| IAS | 190 A - 100% tested non-repetitive avalanche current supports fault-tolerant BMS protection |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.48–0.56 K/W - low junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables direct heatsink attachment |
| QGD | 12–72 nC - gate-drain charge determines Miller plateau duration and switching loss in hard-switched converters |
| VGS(th) | 2.4–3.6 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in LFPAK56E (SOT669), a high-power surface-mount package with copper clip construction, gull-wing leads, and exposed mounting base connected to drain - qualified to 175 °C junction temperature and optimized for low-inductance, high-current PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Source | Primary source terminal; tied internally to pins 2 and 3 for low-inductance parallel connection |
| 2 | Source | Redundant source connection reducing package inductance and improving current sharing |
| 3 | Source | Third source terminal enabling symmetric PCB layout and minimized loop inductance in high-di/dt paths |
| 4 | Gate | Control input; requires external gate resistor to manage QG = 81–189 nC and prevent oscillation |
| Mounting Base | Drain | Exposed copper pad electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP026N04L | 40 V, 0.26 mΩ, TO-220 package - lower RDS(on) but higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) ≈ 0.8 K/W) and no avalanche rating | Requires bolt-down heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained BMS or eFuse where LFPAK56E footprint and avalanche ruggedness are critical | Choose only when ultra-low conduction loss dominates and board-level thermal management allows TO-220 mounting |
| Vishay SiR626DP | 40 V, 0.62 mΩ, PowerPAK SO-8 - higher RDS(on) than PSMNR90-40YSN, no 100% IAS test, Rth(j-mb) not specified | Lacks guaranteed avalanche performance and thermal metrics needed for fault-tolerant battery protection circuits | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical load-switch applications where SOA validation is not required |
Compared with IPP026N04L and SiR626DP, PSMNR90-40YSN uniquely combines 0.97 mΩ RDS(on), 190 A tested avalanche capability, and 0.48 K/W Rth(j-mb) in a surface-mount LFPAK56E package - making it the only option qualified for compact, high-reliability BMS main switches and eFuse designs demanding both conduction efficiency and fault survivability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for PSMNR90-40YSN?
The datasheet specifies 320 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, verified in application testing. Practical current capability depends on PCB copper area, heatsinking, and ambient temperature - at Tmb = 100 °C, rated current drops to 259 A per Fig. 2. The mounting base must be thermally coupled to a heatsink or large copper plane to sustain high current.
Is PSMNR90-40YSN suitable for synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters?
Yes - its low RDS(on) (0.97 mΩ), fast switching parameters (tr = 49 ns, tf = 58 ns), and low QGD (12–72 nC) make it well-suited for synchronous rectification up to 100 kHz. The body diode's Qr = 24 nC and VSD = 0.79 V at 25 A further reduce reverse recovery loss compared to Schottky diodes.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this MOSFET?
Nexperia performs 100% production testing for IAS = 190 A under defined conditions: Vsup ≤ 40 V, VGS = 10 V, Tj(init) = 25 °C, RGS = 50 Ω. Each unit is subjected to unclamped inductive switching with EDS(AL) = 443 mJ, ensuring guaranteed single-pulse avalanche capability without degradation.
What PCB layout recommendations apply to the LFPAK56E package?
Per Fig. 20, use a 4.2 mm × 4.7 mm solder land with 125 µm stencil for reflow; the mounting base requires ≥1000 mm² of 2 oz copper connected via ≥8 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.8 mm pitch) to internal ground planes. Avoid solder mask over the mounting base to ensure optimal thermal transfer and mechanical reliability.
