Product details
Overview
PHK28NQ03LT,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS power MOSFET in SO8 (SOT96-1) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 23.7 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 5.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or primary-side switch in compact DC-DC converters and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the PHK28NQ03LT,518 datasheet, PHK28NQ03LT,518 pinout, PHK28NQ03LT,518 application, or PHK28NQ03LT,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (30.3 nC), logic-compatible 4.5 V turn-on threshold, 11.4 nC gate-drain charge for fast switching, and thermal resistance of 20 K/W from junction to solder point - all critical for high-frequency, thermally constrained power stages.
Technical Context
This device employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) and optimized gate charge trade-offs. Its gate-source threshold voltage ranges from 1.0 V (typ.) to 2.0 V (max.) at 25 °C, enabling reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
The SO8 package integrates four parallel drain terminals and three source terminals to reduce package inductance and improve current sharing. Dynamic parameters - including 11 ns turn-on delay, 40 ns fall time, and 2800 pF input capacitance - support operation up to several hundred kHz in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V input rails and transient margin in industrial DC-DC designs |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 5.5 mΩ (typ.) - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 14 A, reducing heatsink requirements in 50–100 W supplies |
| QG(tot) | 30.3 nC - Low total gate charge allows efficient drive from standard microcontroller GPIOs or low-power gate drivers |
| ID (continuous) | 23.7 A @ Tsp = 25 °C - Supports high-current output stages when mounted on adequate copper area |
| Rth(j-sp) | 20 K/W - Thermal resistance enables ~3.1 W dissipation before reaching 150 °C junction limit under 25 °C solder point conditions |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V @ 25 °C - Ensures robust enhancement-mode turn-on with 3.3 V logic, eliminating need for external gate biasing |
| Ciss | 2800 pF - Input capacitance impacts gate drive energy and EMI filtering design in high-frequency switching 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ @ 10 V; QG = 32 nC; TO-252 package; higher Rth(j-a) (60 K/W) | Requires larger PCB copper area for thermal management; less suitable for dense SO8 layouts | Preferred when board space permits DPAK and higher single-pulse surge tolerance (IDM = 80 A) is needed |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 2.5 mΩ @ 10 V; QG = 24 nC; SO8 package; tighter VGS(th) range (0.5–1.2 V) | Lower threshold increases risk of spurious turn-on in noisy environments; requires stricter gate drive control | Selected when ultra-low RDS(on) is prioritized and system-level noise immunity is guaranteed |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3025LSD-13, PHK28NQ03LT,518 delivers balanced performance: moderate RDS(on) and gate charge in a thermally optimized SO8, with a VGS(th) window that ensures noise-immune logic-level operation while maintaining drive simplicity - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for PHK28NQ03LT,518 at 100 °C solder point temperature?
The PHK28NQ03LT,518 has a limiting drain current of 15 A at Tsp = 100 °C per Table 4 of the datasheet. This derated value reflects thermal constraints at elevated board temperatures and must be used for thermal design validation instead of the 23.7 A rating specified at 25 °C.
Does PHK28NQ03LT,518 support 3.3 V logic-level gate drive across its full operating temperature range?
Yes - PHK28NQ03LT,518 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 0.6 V minimum at Tj = 150 °C and 1.0–2.0 V typical at 25 °C. This ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V gate drive across the full -55 °C to +150 °C junction range, as confirmed in Table 6.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for PHK28NQ03LT,518, and how is it measured?
The PHK28NQ03LT,518 has a maximum Rth(j-sp) of 20 K/W, defined as thermal resistance from the silicon junction to the PCB solder point under steady-state conditions. This value is derived from transient thermal impedance curves (Figure 4) and validated per JEDEC JESD51-14 standards using calibrated test boards.
Can PHK28NQ03LT,518 be used as a replacement for a standard 30 V N-channel MOSFET in existing SO8 footprints?
Yes - PHK28NQ03LT,518 uses the standard SOT96-1 (SO8) package with identical mechanical dimensions and pinout (1–3 = S, 4 = G, 5–8 = D) as defined in Figure 14 and Table 2. No PCB layout changes are required for drop-in replacement where logic-level drive and RDS(on) specifications align.
What is the peak drain current (IDM) rating for PHK28NQ03LT,518, and under what conditions is it valid?
The PHK28NQ03LT,518 supports a peak drain current of 60 A for pulse widths ≤10 µs, as stated in Table 4. This rating applies under Tsp = 25 °C, with no thermal limitation - it reflects short-duration avalanche-safe capability, not continuous operation, and must be verified against safe operating area (SOA) curves in Figure 3.
