Product details
Overview
PSMNR90-80ASEJ from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in a CCPAK1212 (SOT8000A) package, rated for 80 V VDS, 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and qualified to 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers enhanced Safe Operating Area (SOA) performance for linear-mode operation and is optimized for hot-swap, soft-start, and e-fuse applications in 48 V telecom backplane systems.
For engineers reviewing the PSMNR90-80ASEJ datasheet, PSMNR90-80ASEJ pinout, PSMNR90-80ASEJ application, or PSMNR90-80ASEJ equivalent, this device is selected for high-current load switching where robust avalanche energy handling (1890 mJ), low thermal resistance (0.075 K/W j-mb), and JEDEC-qualified copper-clip packaging are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process with optimized cell layout to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) while maintaining wide SOA margins across temperature. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 3.6 V at 25 °C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient (−6.92 mV/K), enabling stable current sharing in parallel configurations.
The CCPAK1212 package integrates a thermally exposed mounting base directly connected to the drain, enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB heatsink. Its 12 mm × 12 mm footprint supports >495 A continuous drain current when mounted on a 70 µm copper FR4 board with minimum thermal pad area per Fig. 6.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; supports 48 V rail systems with ≥1.6× safety margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.71–0.9 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1.25 W conduction loss at 350 A, critical for high-efficiency power distribution. |
| ID (cont) | 495 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Validated continuous current rating; limited in practice by PCB thermal design and mounting base temperature. |
| EAS | 1890 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy; allows reliable operation during unclamped inductive turn-off events in hot-swap controllers. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.075 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance; enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink without thermal interface material. |
| QG(tot) | 168–504 nC - Total gate charge range; determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off in high-frequency soft-start control. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–3.6 V @ Tj = 25 °C - Gate threshold voltage window; ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers while avoiding spurious conduction. |
Pinout & Package
CCPAK1212 (SOT8000A) is a surface-mounted copper-clip package measuring 12 mm × 12 mm × 2.5 mm with 13 terminals: 12 signal/terminal pins plus an exposed mounting base (mb) electrically tied to the drain. The package is JEDEC-qualified (MO-359) and designed for open-market second-source compatibility and high-reliability thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Gate input - Controls channel conduction; requires low-inductance gate loop routing to minimize oscillation during fast switching. |
| 2–6 | S | Source return path - Five parallel source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt load-switch applications. |
| 7–12 | D | Drain power path - Six drain terminals distribute high-current flow and reduce localized heating under 495 A DC conditions. |
| mb | D (mounting base) | Drain-connected thermal interface - Exposed copper base provides primary heat dissipation path to PCB heatsink; must be soldered to large copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully optimized SOA for linear mode | Supports sustained operation in active region (e.g., controlled inrush limiting) without thermal runaway up to Tj = 175 °C. |

| JEDEC-qualified CCPAK1212 | SOT8000A package ensures mechanical and thermal interoperability across multiple suppliers and simplifies second-source qualification. |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | 1890 mJ EAS rating validated by 100% production test - eliminates need for external snubbers in hot-swap controller output stages. |
| High-temperature qualification | 175 °C junction rating enables operation in sealed telecom chassis with ambient temperatures up to 105 °C and minimal derating. |
Applications
| Hot Swap | Load Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Insertion of line cards into live 48 V telecom backplanes without causing bus voltage droop or damaging upstream components. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power FET in hot-swap controller output stage; operates in linear mode during controlled ramp-up, then fully enhanced for steady-state conduction. Use Value: Enhanced SOA prevents thermal failure during 100–500 ms inrush limiting; 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) keeps steady-state power loss below 1.5 W at 400 A. | Use Scenario: Isolation of auxiliary power domains (e.g., FPGA banks, memory subsystems) in industrial servers and AI accelerators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, low-loss pass element controlled by PMIC or discrete logic; handles both steady-state load and transient surges. Use Value: 495 A continuous rating supports multi-rail 12 V/48 V systems; CCPAK1212's low Rth(j-mb) enables compact thermal design without forced air cooling. |
| Soft Start | E-fuse |
Use Scenario: Gradual energization of high-capacitance loads (e.g., bulk capacitor banks, PoE injectors) to limit peak inrush current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode current limiter regulated by external op-amp or dedicated soft-start IC; dissipates energy during ramp phase. Use Value: SOA curve supports 100+ ms linear operation at 200 A without exceeding Tj = 175 °C; gate charge profile enables precise slew-rate control. | Use Scenario: Overcurrent protection for 48 V battery backup systems and DC-DC converter inputs in edge computing nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-sensing and fault-interrupting switch; responds to overcurrent events within microseconds via integrated current monitor feedback. Use Value: 3457 A pulsed peak current rating withstands short-circuit faults; 1890 mJ avalanche energy absorbs energy during fast turn-off under inductive fault conditions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH36N80L | 800 V rating, 36 A ID, TO-247 package, RDS(on) = 220 mΩ - higher voltage, lower current, much higher on-resistance. | Designed for offline SMPS primary side; unsuitable for 48 V/400 A hot-swap due to excessive conduction loss and inadequate SOA. | Select only if 800 V blocking is required and current <50 A; not a functional substitute for PSMNR90-80ASEJ. |
| STW100N80K5 | 800 V rating, 100 A ID, TO-247 package, RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ - higher voltage, lower current, 14× higher RDS(on). | Targeted at motor drives and UPS inverters; lacks CCPAK thermal performance and SOA optimization for linear-mode telecom use. | Acceptable only for lower-current (<100 A), higher-voltage applications where thermal constraints are less severe. |
Compared with IXTH36N80L and STW100N80K5, PSMNR90-80ASEJ offers 14–30× lower RDS(on), 5× higher continuous current, and JEDEC-qualified copper-clip packaging - making it uniquely suited for high-efficiency, high-reliability 48 V hot-swap and e-fuse systems where thermal density and SOA are dominant selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMNR90-80ASEJ under real-world PCB conditions?
The datasheet specifies 495 A at Tmb = 25 °C with adequate heatsinking, but practical current is limited by PCB copper area, thermal vias, and ambient temperature. With a 25.4 mm square 70 µm copper pad on FR4 (per Fig. 6), sustained current remains above 350 A at Tmb = 80 °C. Derating curves in Fig. 2 must be applied based on actual mounting base temperature measurement.
Does PSMNR90-80ASEJ require a gate resistor for stability in hot-swap applications?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by parasitic inductance between gate driver and the 12-pin gate terminal. The device's 1.28 Ω typical gate resistance (RG) and 336 nC typical QG(tot) make it susceptible to oscillation without proper gate loop control; layout guidelines in Nexperia AN11580 apply.
How is the mounting base (mb) electrically connected, and what is its voltage potential?
The mounting base is internally bonded to the drain and shares the same electrical potential. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the system drain net. This connection serves dual roles: primary thermal path (Rth(j-mb) = 0.075 K/W) and structural mechanical anchor. No isolation is provided between mb and drain terminals.
Can PSMNR90-80ASEJ be paralleled with identical units for higher current capacity?
Yes - its negative VGS(th) temperature coefficient (−6.92 mV/K) promotes natural current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared thermal interface. Nexperia validates parallel configurations up to four units in telecom reference designs, with total current scaling linearly within SOA limits.
