Product details
Overview
NX3008PBKVL from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, designed for high-side load switching and relay driving. It delivers −30 V drain-source voltage rating, −230 mA continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 2.8 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V, enabling efficient low-voltage power control in automotive and industrial signal-path applications.
For engineers reviewing the NX3008PBKVL datasheet, NX3008PBKVL pinout, NX3008PBKVL application, or NX3008PBKVL equivalent, this device supports fast-switching, AEC-Q101-qualified high-side loadswitching with low threshold voltage (−0.9 V typ), ESD protection up to 2 kV HBM, and thermal resistance of 260 K/W (junction-to-ambient, 1 cm² drain pad).
Technical Context
This discrete P-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low gate charge (0.55 nC typ) and fast switching (td(on) = 19 ns, tf = 38 ns), supporting high-speed line driver and relay driver functions. Its −0.9 V typical gate threshold voltage enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic controllers without level shifting.
The device features an integrated source-drain diode with −0.88 V typical forward voltage at −200 mA and is qualified to AEC-Q101, confirming suitability for automotive ambient temperature ranges (−55 °C to 150 °C) and robust operation under transient stress conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for high-side switch configurations in 24 V automotive systems. |
| ID (continuous) | −230 mA @ Tamb = 25 °C - Supports moderate-power loads such as LED arrays or small solenoids. |
| RDS(on) | 2.8 Ω typ @ VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −200 mA - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at rated current. |
| VGS(th) | −0.9 V typ - Ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V/3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs without external bias. |

Applications
| Automotive Relay Driver | Industrial High-Speed Line Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V automotive relays in body control modules where MCU GPIOs must directly control coil current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling relay coil supply; operates in static on/off mode with occasional PWM for soft-start. Use Value: −0.9 V VGS(th) ensures full turn-on from 3.3 V MCU outputs; 2.8 Ω RDS(on) limits coil power dissipation to <100 mW at 200 mA. |
Use Scenario: Transmitting TTL/CMOS logic signals across noisy industrial backplanes with controlled edge rates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active pull-up switch in open-drain bus interface; toggles between high-Z and VCC-referenced state. Use Value: 38 ns fall time and 0.55 nC gate charge enable clean 10+ MHz signal edge control without overshoot or ringing. |
| High-Side Load Switch | Embedded System Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling 3.3 V or 5 V subsystem rails (e.g., sensors, transceivers) in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel high-side switch placed between input rail and load; controlled by active-low enable signal. Use Value: −30 V VDS rating provides 6× margin over 5 V rail; AEC-Q101 qualification supports long-term reliability in safety-critical designs. |
Use Scenario: Implementing power-up sequencing for multi-rail FPGA or SoC platforms where core voltage must ramp before I/O. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete load switch in discrete power tree; coordinated via GPIO-controlled enable timing. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes voltage drop during inrush; 150 °C Tj max allows sustained operation in thermally dense embedded enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LKQ-7 | −20 V VDS, −450 mA ID, 1.4 Ω RDS(on) @ −4.5 V - higher current, lower voltage rating. | Preferred for 3.3 V/5 V systems requiring >300 mA; not suitable for 24 V automotive loads due to lower VDS. | Select when higher current and lower on-resistance are critical and system voltage ≤20 V. |
| SI2301DDS-T1-BE3 | −20 V VDS, −2.4 A ID, 0.115 Ω RDS(on) @ −4.5 V - significantly higher current, same package. | Used in high-current DC-DC enable paths; requires larger gate drive capability and thermal management. | Choose for applications needing >1 A load current; verify gate drive strength and PCB copper area for thermal performance. |
Compared with DMN2004LKQ-7 and SI2301DDS-T1-BE3, NX3008PBKVL offers optimal balance of −30 V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low-threshold operation for 12–24 V automotive and industrial high-side switching where moderate current and robust ESD/thermal behavior are prioritized over raw current capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for NX3008PBKVL at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is −145 mA at Tamb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values). This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SOT23 package with standard FR4 mounting; actual current capability depends on PCB copper area and airflow.
Does NX3008PBKVL require a gate resistor for safe operation?
A gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during fast switching. With QG(tot) = 0.55 nC and typical MCU rise times, a 10 Ω to 47 Ω series resistor balances switching speed and EMI control without compromising drive strength.
Can NX3008PBKVL be used in reverse polarity protection circuits?
Yes - configured as a high-side switch with source tied to input supply and drain to load, it blocks reverse current when VIN is reversed. Its −30 V VDS rating and low RDS(on) make it suitable for 12 V/24 V systems, though external Zener clamping may be needed for transients exceeding −30 V.
Is the SOT23 package of NX3008PBKVL compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT23 (TO-236AB) package complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). Figure 19 in the datasheet specifies the recommended solder land pattern for optimal thermal and mechanical reliability.
