Product details
Overview
MIC94031YM4-TR from Micrel is a 4-terminal P-channel MOSFET designed for high-side switching in space-constrained systems, featuring 0.75Ω typical RDS(on) at 4.5V VGS, 13.5V drain-source breakdown voltage, and integrated 500kΩ gate-to-source pull-up resistor - enabling reduced external component count in PCMCIA sleep-mode and distributed power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MIC94031YM4-TR datasheet, MIC94031YM4-TR pinout, MIC94031YM4-TR application, or MIC94031YM4-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 4-terminal SOT-143 package thermal performance (θJA = 220°C/W), substrate-isolated analog switch capability, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7V gate drive.
Technical Context
The MIC94031YM4-TR implements a silicon-gate P-channel enhancement-mode structure with separate substrate terminal, allowing independent biasing of the body to optimize on-resistance and prevent latch-up in analog switch configurations. Its internal 500–1000kΩ gate-pullup resistor enables direct logic-level control without external biasing components.
This device operates as a normally-off high-side load switch with VGS(th) between 0.6V and 1.4V, supporting continuous drain current up to 1A at 25°C and maintaining functional RDS(on) ≤ 1.2Ω even at 2.7V gate drive - critical for low-voltage battery-powered peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 13.5V minimum breakdown - supports reliable operation in +5V/+8V/+12V rail switching without avalanche stress |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5V | 0.75Ω typical - enables <100mW conduction loss at 400mA load current |
| RDS(on) @ 2.7V | 1.20Ω maximum - ensures functional switching down to Li-ion single-cell voltage (2.7–3.0V) |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–1.4V - compatible with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic outputs without level-shifting |
| ID Continuous | 1A @ 25°C - sufficient for USB peripheral power gating and PCMCIA card VCC control |
| Package | SOT-143 (M4) - 4-terminal surface-mount footprint with isolated substrate pad for thermal and analog performance |
Pinout & Package
SOT-143 (M4) package with 4 terminals: Drain (D), Source (S), Gate (G), and Substrate (SS). The isolated substrate terminal allows independent body biasing to minimize channel resistance variation and enable true bidirectional analog switching.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | High-side load connection point | Connected to positive supply rail; carries full switched load current |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive | Bias reference for VGS; tied to system ground or return path in high-side configuration |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Accepts logic-level signals; internal 500kΩ pull-up to source enables default-OFF behavior |
| Substrate (SS) | Body terminal | Must be connected to source externally to ensure safe operation; enables θJA = 220°C/W and analog switch linearity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated gate pull-up resistor | 500–1000kΩ between gate and source - eliminates need for external bias resistor in open-drain control applications |
| Separate substrate terminal | Enables precise body biasing - improves RDS(on) stability and supports analog switch use with <0.1% THD |
| Low threshold voltage range | 0.6–1.4V VGS(th) - ensures turn-on with 1.8V CMOS outputs and maintains margin across temperature |
| Industry's smallest 4-terminal SOT | SOT-143 footprint (1.3×2.5mm) - reduces PCB area by >40% vs. standard SOT-23 for comparable RDS(on) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si1304DL-T1-E3 | No integrated gate pull-up; requires external resistor; RDS(on) = 0.85Ω @ 4.5V; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks substrate terminal - unsuitable for analog switch use; higher θJA (300°C/W) | Select when board space permits larger SOT-23 and gate biasing is already implemented |
| DMN2004LK-7 | Lower RDS(on) (0.35Ω @ 4.5V); no substrate terminal; SOT-23-3; no internal pull-up | Higher current rating (2.2A) but no analog switch capability; not pin-compatible | Choose for higher-current digital switching where thermal margin is critical and analog function is unnecessary |
Compared with Si1304DL-T1-E3 and DMN2004LK-7, the MIC94031YM4-TR uniquely provides integrated gate pull-up and substrate isolation in SOT-143 - delivering lower system-level BOM count and verified analog switch performance not available in standard 3-terminal alternatives.

FAQ
What is the function of the substrate (SS) terminal on the MIC94031YM4-TR?
The substrate (SS) terminal on the MIC94031YM4-TR must be externally connected to the source (S) to ensure safe and specified operation. This connection stabilizes the body potential, prevents parasitic bipolar conduction, and enables the published RDS(on) and thermal performance (θJA = 220°C/W). In analog switch applications, it also allows precise control of channel characteristics for improved linearity.
Does the MIC94031YM4-TR require an external gate pull-up resistor?
No - the MIC94031YM4-TR integrates a 500–1000kΩ gate-to-source pull-up resistor, eliminating the need for an external component in open-drain or logic-controlled high-side switch configurations. This feature directly reduces BOM count and PCB area versus the MIC94030YM4-TR and other 3-terminal P-channel MOSFETs.
Can the MIC94031YM4-TR be used as an analog switch?
Yes - the MIC94031YM4-TR supports analog switching due to its 4-terminal SOT-143 construction with isolated substrate. When SS is tied to S, it achieves low and flat RDS(on) over signal ranges up to ±2V, as validated in Micrel's Figure 3 application circuit. This capability is absent in standard 3-terminal MOSFETs.
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the MIC94031YM4-TR at 100°C ambient?
The MIC94031YM4-TR supports 0.5A continuous drain current at 100°C ambient temperature, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating follows the 220°C/W θJA value, and operation above this current requires active thermal management or reduced duty cycle to avoid junction temperature exceedance.
Is the MIC94031YM4-TR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the MIC94031YM4-TR is marked "YM4" per the Ordering Information table, indicating Pb-free (lead-free) construction and RoHS compliance. This is confirmed by Micrel's July 2006 datasheet revision M9999-071106, which specifies YM4 as the lead-free variant in SOT-143 packaging.
