Product details
Overview
NX3P191UK,023 from NXP Semiconductors is a logic-controlled high-side load switch featuring a P-channel MOSFET with 95 mΩ typical ON resistance at 1.8 V supply, integrated output discharge (280 Ω), and 1.1 V to 3.6 V operation. It delivers 500 mA continuous current, supports inrush current limiting, and enables power domain isolation in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the NX3P191UK,023 datasheet, NX3P191UK,023 pinout, NX3P191UK,023 application, or NX3P191UK,023 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low shutdown current (≤2 μA), level-shifted enable logic for 1.2 V control at 3.6 V VIN, thermal resistance (130 K/W), and WLCSP4 package compatibility with space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The NX3P191UK,023 implements a high-side switching architecture using a P-channel MOSFET with slew-rate-limited turn-on to suppress inrush current. Its internal level shifter allows EN input to operate at voltages as low as 1.2 V while VIN ranges up to 3.6 V.
Functional behavior is defined by active-HIGH enable logic, integrated 280 Ω output discharge path, and OFF-state leakage ≤2 μA across −40 °C to +85 °C. Thermal performance is specified with Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W under standard two-layer PCB conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with low-voltage processors and battery rails down to single-cell Li-ion or alkaline. |
| ON Resistance (RON) | 95 mΩ typ @ 1.8 V - Minimizes conduction loss and voltage drop under 500 mA load, critical for efficiency in portable devices. |
| Continuous Output Current | 500 mA @ Tamb = 85 °C - Supports sustained power delivery to peripherals like cameras, audio codecs, or sensors without thermal derating. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤2 μA max - Extends battery life in standby mode for always-on subsystems in smartphones and wearables. |
| Output Discharge Resistance | 280 Ω - Ensures rapid VOUT discharge (<1 ms for 10 μF) upon disable, preventing floating outputs and enabling safe sequencing. |
| Enable Logic Threshold | 1.2 V min HIGH-level input @ 3.6 V VIN - Allows direct connection to 1.2 V/1.8 V I/O domains without external level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for consumer and industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP4 - Wafer-level chip-scale package, 0.76 × 0.76 × 0.51 mm body with backside coating; 4-bump layout optimized for minimal PCB footprint and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | High-side power rail input (1.1–3.6 V); connects to battery or regulated source upstream of the switch. |
| EN | Enable input (active HIGH) | Logic-controlled gate driver input; accepts 1.2 V min HIGH signal even at 3.6 V VIN due to integrated level shift. |
| VOUT | Switched output | Drives load; features internal 280 Ω discharge path to GND when EN = LOW, eliminating need for external bleed resistor. |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for internal circuitry and discharge current; must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Input inrush current reduction | Slew-rate-limited turn-on prevents peak current spikes during power-up, protecting upstream regulators and reducing EMI. |
| Integrated output discharge | 280 Ω internal resistor actively discharges VOUT capacitance on disable, ensuring fast, predictable power-down sequencing. |
| Ultra-low ground current | ≤2 μA max in shutdown - Directly extends battery runtime in sleep states for mobile and IoT endpoints. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS22915YZPR | Lower RON (60 mΩ @ 3.3 V) but no integrated discharge resistor; requires external 100 kΩ pull-down on EN for 1.2 V logic compatibility. | Better efficiency at higher loads (>700 mA), but adds BOM cost and layout area for discharge and level-shift components. | Prefer when maximum current capability and lowest conduction loss outweigh integration benefits and board space constraints. |
| ROHM BD65240GUL | WLCSP4 package, 105 mΩ RON @ 1.8 V, includes discharge resistor (300 Ω), but lacks level-shifted EN - requires ≥1.4 V logic at 3.6 V VIN. | Direct replacement in space-limited designs where 1.4 V EN threshold is acceptable, but not suitable for 1.2 V controller interfaces. | Select when footprint and discharge integration are critical, and host processor I/O supports ≥1.4 V logic levels. |
Compared with TPS22915YZPR and BD65240GUL, the NX3P191UK,023 uniquely combines 1.2 V-compatible EN logic, integrated 280 Ω discharge, and 95 mΩ RON in a 0.76 mm² WLCSP4, making it optimal for ultra-compact, multi-rail battery-powered systems requiring zero-external-component sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the NX3P191UK,023?
The NX3P191UK,023 supports 500 mA continuous output current at an ambient temperature of 85 °C, as specified in Table 5 of the datasheet. At 25 °C, it can handle up to ±1000 mA transient current, but sustained operation above 500 mA requires thermal derating per the device's Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W specification and PCB layout optimization.
Does the NX3P191UK,023 require an external discharge resistor?
No, the NX3P191UK,023 includes an integrated 280 Ω output discharge resistor connected between VOUT and GND. This eliminates the need for external components to safely discharge output capacitance during disable, simplifying design and reducing BOM count in space-sensitive applications.
Can the NX3P191UK,023 be controlled directly by a 1.2 V GPIO?
Yes - the NX3P191UK,023 features integrated logic-level translation on its EN pin, allowing reliable HIGH-level detection at 1.2 V even when VIN is at the maximum 3.6 V. This is confirmed in Table 8 (VIH specifications) and enables direct interfacing with low-voltage processors without external level shifters.
What is the typical ON resistance of the NX3P191UK,023 at 1.8 V supply?
The typical ON resistance of the NX3P191UK,023 is 95 mΩ at VIN = 1.8 V, Tamb = 25 °C, and ILOAD = 200 mA, as stated in Table 9. This value increases to 110 mΩ at 1.5 V and 150 mΩ at 1.2 V, reflecting the P-channel MOSFET's voltage-dependent RDS(on) behavior.
Is the NX3P191UK,023 qualified for automotive applications?
No - the NX3P191UK,023 is specified for −40 °C to +85 °C operation and is not automotive-qualified. NXP explicitly states in Section 17.3 that unless otherwise declared, their products are not suitable for automotive use. For AEC-Q100-compliant alternatives, consult NXP's automotive-grade load switch portfolio.
What package type does the NX3P191UK,023 use, and what are its dimensions?
The NX3P191UK,023 uses the WLCSP4 (Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package) with 4 bumps, measuring 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.51 mm including backside coating. Pin mapping follows a 2×2 bump array: A1 = VIN, B1 = EN, A2 = VOUT, B2 = GND - as shown in Figure 4 and Table 3 of the datasheet.
