Product details
Overview
PMF280UN from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode TrenchMOS™ power MOSFET in SOT323 (SC-70) package, designed for ultra-low-level switching in space-constrained portable systems. It delivers RDS(on) ≤ 340 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, VDS ≤ 20 V, ID ≤ 1.02 A, and Ptot ≤ 0.56 W - enabling efficient load switching in battery-powered consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PMF280UN datasheet, PMF280UN pinout, PMF280UN application, or PMF280UN equivalent, this device is selected for low-threshold, low-RDS(on) DC switching where footprint reduction (40% smaller than SOT23), thermal performance at solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 220 K/W), and sub-1V gate drive capability are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The PMF280UN employs µTrenchMOS™ technology to achieve low threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.45–1.0 V at Tj = 25 °C) and stable on-resistance across temperature (RDS(on) = 448–544 mΩ at Tj = 150 °C). Its gate charge profile (Qg(tot) = 0.89 nC, Qgd = 0.18 nC) supports fast switching with minimal drive loss in low-voltage logic-controlled circuits.
As a single N-channel discrete MOSFET, it operates without integrated gate drivers or protection circuitry. Its source-drain diode exhibits VSD = 0.83–1.2 V at IS = 0.3 A and supports bidirectional current handling in simple reverse-polarity or flyback configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 3.3 V/5 V logic-supplied rails and Li-ion battery systems (≤2S). |
| RDS(on) | 280–340 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 0.3 A, suitable for always-on load switches. |
| VGS(th) | 0.45–1.0 V @ ID = 0.25 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V or higher GPIOs, eliminating need for level-shifting in modern microcontrollers. |
| ID | 1.02 A @ Tsp = 25 °C, VGS = 4.5 V - Supports moderate-current loads such as LED drivers, sensor biasing, and peripheral enable circuits. |
| Qg(tot) | 0.89 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power consumption and enables clean edge transitions in high-frequency PWM control. |
| Ciss | 45 pF - Minimizes capacitive loading on driving GPIOs and improves noise immunity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 220 K/W - Defines thermal path from junction to solder point; requires careful pad design per SC-70 footprint for sustained 0.5 W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
PMF280UN is housed in a plastic surface-mounted SOT323 (SC-70) package - 3-lead, 1.3 × 2.2 mm footprint, 40% smaller than standard SOT23. The package uses standard JEDEC SC-70 dimensions with gull-wing leads and exposed die pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; accepts logic-level voltage (≥0.45 V) to modulate channel conduction; high-impedance input (IGSS ≤ 100 nA). |
| 2 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; connects to system ground or low-side return path; carries forward diode current when reverse-biased. |
| 3 | Drain (D) | Power output terminal; connects to load supply rail; handles up to 1.02 A continuous DC current under specified thermal conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| µTrenchMOS™ technology | Enables ultra-low RDS(on) and VGS(th) in SC-70 package, achieving performance previously limited to larger footprints. |
| Low threshold voltage | VGS(th) down to 0.45 V ensures compatibility with 1.8 V I/O domains and eliminates external gate boosting in portable designs. |
| Small footprint (SOT323) | 1.3 × 2.2 mm outline saves board area in wearables, hearing aids, and compact IoT sensors where space is constrained. |
| Low gate charge | Qg(tot) = 0.89 nC minimizes switching energy and allows direct drive from low-power MCU GPIOs without buffer stages. |
| Specified RDS(on) at low VGS | RDS(on) = 360–430 mΩ @ VGS = 2.5 V and 460–660 mΩ @ VGS = 1.8 V - enables robust operation across wide supply voltage ranges. |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power Switching | Low-Voltage Sensor Bias Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling USB-powered accessories (e.g., Bluetooth modules, USB-C peripherals) under host MCU control to meet USB suspend current limits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-threshold MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 200 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V; SOT23-3 package (larger footprint); VGS(th) = 0.5–1.2 V. | Higher current rating (2.8 A) but requires more PCB area; less suitable for ultra-compact wearables. | Select when higher ID headroom and lower RDS(on) outweigh footprint constraints. |
| AO3400 | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V; VGS(th) = 0.8–1.8 V; SOT23-3; not characterized below 2.5 V. | Optimized for 3.3 V/5 V systems; unsuitable for 1.8 V GPIO drive due to higher VGS(th) min and no RDS(on) spec at VGS ≤ 2.5 V. | Choose for higher-power 3.3 V applications where gate drive voltage ≥3.3 V is guaranteed. |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and AO3400, the PMF280UN uniquely balances ultra-small SC-70 footprint, sub-0.5 V threshold, and verified RDS(on) down to 1.8 V - making it the preferred choice for miniaturized, low-voltage, battery-sensitive designs where every mm² and µA matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMF280UN at 100 °C solder point temperature?
The PMF280UN supports a maximum continuous drain current of 0.64 A at Tsp = 100 °C and VGS = 4.5 V, as specified in Table 3 of its datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SOT323 package; designers must ensure adequate copper pour and airflow to sustain this current without exceeding Tj = 150 °C. The PMF280UN's Rth(j-sp) = 220 K/W defines the thermal bottleneck.
Does PMF280UN support 1.8 V GPIO drive, and what is its RDS(on) at that voltage?
Yes, the PMF280UN is explicitly characterized for 1.8 V gate drive: Table 5 specifies RDS(on) = 460–660 mΩ at VGS = 1.8 V, ID = 75 mA, and Tj = 25 °C. Its VGS(th) minimum of 0.45 V ensures strong enhancement mode behavior even at 1.8 V, making the PMF280UN suitable for direct interface with modern ultra-low-voltage MCUs without level shifters.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for PMF280UN in DC operation?
The PMF280UN's DC safe operating area is bounded by its limiting values: VDS ≤ 20 V, ID ≤ 1.02 A at Tsp = 25 °C, and Ptot ≤ 0.56 W. Figure 3 confirms that DC operation must stay below the "DC" curve - for example, at VDS = 5 V, maximum sustainable ID is ~0.35 A to remain within 0.56 W. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway due to the PMF280UN's positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient.
Can PMF280UN be used in reverse-polarity protection circuits, and how is its body diode rated?
Yes, the PMF280UN's integrated source-drain diode supports reverse-polarity protection when configured in high-side or ideal-diode topology. Its body diode is rated for IS = 0.47 A DC (Tsp = 25 °C) and VSD = 0.83–1.2 V at IS = 0.3 A, VGS = 0 V. This low forward voltage - combined with the PMF280UN's low RDS(on) - makes it superior to Schottky diodes in low-dropout, low-leakage protection schemes.
Is PMF280UN RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the PMF280UN meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Nexperia's standard product compliance policy. Its SOT323 package uses lead-free matte tin plating and green molding compound. Full compliance documentation, including test reports and declarations, is available through Nexperia's official product page for PMF280UN and referenced in its material content data sheet (document number 9397 750 12768).
