Product details
Overview
PHD98N03LT,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for high-frequency DC-DC conversion with 75 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, 5.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 25 V VDS rating - deployed in computer motherboard power stages.
For engineers reviewing the PHD98N03LT,118 datasheet, PHD98N03LT,118 pinout, PHD98N03LT,118 application, or PHD98N03LT,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include low on-resistance under 5 V gate drive, avalanche energy rating of 183 mJ, thermal resistance to mounting base (1.35 K/W), fast switching (tr = 80 ns), and compatibility with logic-level controller outputs.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching while maintaining robust avalanche ruggedness (183 mJ unclamped). It operates with gate-source threshold voltage between 1.0 V and 2.0 V at 25 °C and supports logic-level drive down to 3 V.
The source-drain diode exhibits 0.9–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and 37 ns reverse recovery time, enabling synchronous rectification in buck converters. Thermal design centers on mounting-base conduction, with Rth(j-mb) = 1.35 K/W and no ambient-path dependency when properly heatsinked.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines use in ≤24 V input systems like ATX VRMs. |
| RDS(on) | 5.9 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A, critical for high-efficiency CPU core rails. |
| ID | 75 A continuous at Tmb = 25 °C - Supports high-current phases in multi-phase motherboard DC-DC converters. |
| QGD | 15 nC typical - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| EDS(AL)S | 183 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy rating ensures reliability during transient overvoltage events in inductive switching circuits. |
| tr/tf | 80 ns / 104 ns - Fast rise/fall times reduce switching losses in high-frequency (≥300 kHz) converter topologies. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V at 25 °C - Confirmed logic-level threshold enables direct drive from PWM controllers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
PHD98N03LT,118 is housed in a plastic DPAK (SOT428) surface-mount package with three leads (one cropped), featuring an exposed mounting base electrically connected to the drain terminal for thermal and electrical integration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts logic-level input (VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V); requires low-impedance drive due to QG(tot) = 40 nC. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output node; internally bonded to mounting base; carries full load current and must be thermally coupled to PCB copper or heatsink. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; connects to low-side switch node or ground plane in synchronous buck configurations. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed metal pad tied directly to drain; primary thermal path - must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper area for rated Ptot = 111 W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 3 V, eliminating need for gate drivers in many 3.3 V/5 V control IC applications. |
| TrenchMOS architecture | Delivers 5.9 mΩ RDS(on) in DPAK - 25% lower than planar equivalents at same die size, improving power density. |
| Avalanche-rated | 183 mJ non-repetitive EAS allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| Fast body diode | 37 ns trr and 20 nC Qr support synchronous rectification or freewheeling in high-frequency buck converters. |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-mb) = 1.35 K/W enables >100 W dissipation with minimal temperature rise when mounted on adequate copper. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ @ 10 V, but higher QG(tot) = 52 nC and no published avalanche rating. | Lacks EAS specification; less suitable for unclamped inductive switching in VRMs without snubbers. | Prefer PHD98N03LT,118 where avalanche ruggedness and lower gate charge are required for high-reliability computing power stages. |
| STL110N3LLH6 | Lower RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ but requires 4.5 V min VGS; not fully logic-level at 3.3 V. | Needs gate driver for 3.3 V controllers; incompatible with some legacy VRM ICs lacking 5 V gate drive. | Select PHD98N03LT,118 when interfacing directly with 3.3 V PWM controllers or where proven avalanche margin is mandatory. |
Compared with IRL3803PBF and STL110N3LLH6, PHD98N03LT,118 uniquely balances logic-level operation (VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V), low QGD, and certified 183 mJ avalanche capability - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-frequency motherboard and server power delivery where gate drive simplicity and transient robustness are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PHD98N03LT,118 at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
The PHD98N03LT,118 supports 66 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 100 °C and VGS = 5 V, as specified in Table 3 of the NXP datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the DPAK package and ensures reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as densely packed server motherboards. The PHD98N03LT,118 maintains safe junction temperatures below 175 °C under these conditions when mounted on ≥100 mm² copper.
Does PHD98N03LT,118 have a documented avalanche energy rating?
Yes, PHD98N03LT,118 has a specified non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy (EDS(AL)S) of 183 mJ under defined test conditions: unclamped inductive load, ID = 43 A, tp = 0.27 ms, VDS = 15 V, RGS = 50 Ω, VGS = 5 V, starting at Tj = 25 °C. This value is explicitly listed in Table 3 and confirms robustness against inductive turn-off transients in PHD98N03LT,118-based power stages.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for PHD98N03LT,118 at room temperature?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for PHD98N03LT,118 is specified as 1.0 V minimum, 1.5 V typical, and 2.0 V maximum at Tj = 25 °C and ID = 1 mA. This confirmed logic-level range ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V controller outputs, distinguishing PHD98N03LT,118 from standard-threshold MOSFETs requiring ≥10 V drive.
Can PHD98N03LT,118 be used as a synchronous rectifier in a buck converter?
Yes, PHD98N03LT,118 is suitable as a synchronous rectifier due to its fast body diode (trr = 37 ns, Qr = 20 nC) and low VSD (0.9–1.2 V at 25 A). Its logic-level gate drive allows direct control by standard PWM ICs, and its RDS(on) of 5.9 mΩ minimizes conduction loss. PHD98N03LT,118 is commonly deployed in this role in high-frequency motherboard VRMs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mounting base for PHD98N03LT,118?
The thermal resistance from junction to mounting base (Rth(j-mb)) for PHD98N03LT,118 is 1.35 K/W maximum, as stated in Table 4 of the NXP datasheet. This value assumes proper soldering of the mounting base to a thermally optimized PCB pad and forms the basis for calculating junction temperature rise in PHD98N03LT,118-based designs.
