Product details
Overview
PHD36N03LT,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 43.4 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 17 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V - optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switched-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PHD36N03LT,118 datasheet, PHD36N03LT,118 pinout, PHD36N03LT,118 application, or PHD36N03LT,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1–2 V), low gate charge (18.5 nC), thermal resistance to mounting base (2.6 K/W), and SOT428 surface-mount packaging with isolated gate terminal.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching with minimal gate drive requirements. Its gate-source threshold voltage (1–2 V at 25 °C) enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
The PHD36N03LT,118 features a thermally enhanced DPAK package where the mounting base is internally connected to the drain, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or external heatsinks. Safe operating area (SOA) supports pulsed peak drain currents up to 173.6 A for ≤10 µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 24 V rail systems with margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 43.4 A at Tmb = 25 °C - usable current capacity with adequate board-level thermal management. |
| RDS(on) | 17 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - ensures <1.5 W conduction loss at 30 A, critical for efficiency in power stages. |
| QG(tot) | 18.5 nC typical - enables fast turn-on/off with moderate gate driver strength (e.g., TC442x or similar). |
| VGS(th) | 1.5 V typical (1–2 V range) - guarantees reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.6 K/W - junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance defines minimum copper area required for thermal compliance. |
| Package | SOT428 (DPAK) - surface-mount plastic package with drain-connected mounting base; lead 2 inaccessible per design. |
Pinout & Package
PHD36N03LT,118 uses the SOT428 (DPAK) package: plastic single-ended surface-mounted outline with 3 leads (lead 2 cropped and non-connectable). Mounting base is electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; accepts logic-level voltage (≥2.5 V) to fully enhance channel; isolated from drain/source. |
| 2 | Drain (D) | Not accessible - internal connection only to mounting base; no external lead provided in SOT428 variant. |
| 3 | Source (S) | Power return node; referenced for gate drive; forms low-side switch common point in buck/boost topologies. |
| Mounting Base | Drain (D) | Electrically and thermally tied to drain; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully with 3.3 V or 5 V controllers - eliminates need for gate driver ICs in many low-voltage SMPS designs. |
| Low RDS(on) | 17 mΩ max at 10 V drive reduces conduction losses and improves system efficiency in high-current paths. |
| TrenchMOS architecture | Enables higher cell density and lower gate charge versus planar MOSFETs - improves switching efficiency at 100–500 kHz. |
| Thermally optimized DPAK | 2.6 K/W Rth(j-mb) allows >40 W dissipation with proper PCB copper - supports compact, high-power-density layouts. |
| Robust SOA | Rated for 173.6 A pulsed drain current (tp ≤10 µs) - withstands inrush and fault transients in motor drives and converters. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Switched-Mode Power Supplies |

Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 24 V input, 12 V/20 A output AC-DC adapter using flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling energy transfer into transformer; operated at 65–130 kHz with zero-voltage switching assist. Use Value: 18.5 nC QG(tot) enables fast switching with low gate drive power, reducing driver losses and EMI generation. |
| Motor Control Drivers | Load Switches |
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current quadrant switch handling bidirectional current; controlled via microcontroller PWM with shoot-through protection. Use Value: VGS(th) of 1.5 V ensures robust turn-on even under marginal supply conditions, preventing partial enhancement and thermal runaway. |
Use Scenario: Hot-swap and inrush-limited 24 V power distribution to FPGA or ASIC subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-pole, normally-open power switch; gate slew-rate controlled to limit dI/dt during turn-on.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP36NF03L | RDS(on) = 15 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V; TO-220 package (SOT78 equivalent); higher Rth(j-a) (60 K/W) than PHD36N03LT,118's DPAK. | Better conduction loss but requires through-hole mounting and external heatsink; less suitable for dense SMT layouts. | Choose STP36NF03L when board space permits TO-220 and thermal budget favors lower RDS(on) over SMT integration. |
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 12 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V; TO-220AB package; gate charge 32 nC - 72% higher than PHD36N03LT,118. | Lower on-resistance but slower switching due to higher QG; increased driver loss and reduced efficiency at >200 kHz. | Choose IRL3803PBF only if conduction loss dominates system loss budget and switching frequency remains below 100 kHz. |
Compared with STP36NF03L and IRL3803PBF, PHD36N03LT,118 delivers optimal balance of low gate charge, SMT-compatible DPAK packaging, and verified 17 mΩ RDS(on) - making it preferred for space-constrained, medium-frequency SMPS where thermal coupling to PCB is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for PHD36N03LT,118?
The PHD36N03LT,118 is rated for 43.4 A continuous drain current at mounting base temperature (Tmb) of 25 °C and VGS = 10 V. At Tmb = 100 °C, this derates to 30.7 A. Actual usable current depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and thermal interface to the mounting base - which is electrically connected to the drain.
Is PHD36N03LT,118 compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?
Yes. The PHD36N03LT,118 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 1–2 V typical at 25 °C, ensuring full enhancement with 3.3 V logic. At VGS = 4.5 V, RDS(on) is guaranteed ≤22 mΩ - confirming robust operation without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mounting base for PHD36N03LT,118?
The PHD36N03LT,118 has a maximum thermal resistance Rth(j-mb) of 2.6 K/W. This value assumes proper soldering of the mounting base to ≥10 cm² of 2 oz copper on FR-4 PCB. It defines the upper bound of steady-state power dissipation before exceeding Tj = 175 °C.
Does PHD36N03LT,118 have an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes. The PHD36N03LT,118 includes an inherent source-drain body diode. At IS = 25 A and VGS = 0 V, the typical forward voltage (VSD) is 0.97 V, with a maximum of 1.2 V. This diode supports freewheeling current in inductive loads and reverse-current blocking in load-switch applications.
Can PHD36N03LT,118 be used in a high-side switch configuration?
No. The PHD36N03LT,118 is an N-channel device with its mounting base tied to the drain. In high-side configurations, the source would be at varying potential, requiring gate drive above the source - which is incompatible with its logic-level gate design and fixed mounting base reference. It is intended exclusively for low-side or common-drain (source-follower) topologies.
