Product details
Overview
PMH550UPEH from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a leadless DFN0606-3 (SOT8001) package, rated for −20 V drain-source voltage, 550 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −0.6 A, with ESD protection up to 1.8 kV HBM. It serves as a high-side load switch or high-speed line driver in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PMH550UPEH datasheet, PMH550UPEH pinout, PMH550UPEH application, or PMH550UPEH equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-small-footprint DC power switching where low gate threshold (−0.7 V typ), fast switching (td(on) = 2 ns), and thermal efficiency on FR4 PCBs are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching in a 0.62 × 0.62 × 0.37 mm footprint. Its −0.7 V typical VGS(th) enables direct drive from 1.8 V logic, while its 0.6 nC total gate charge supports efficient high-frequency operation.
The device features an integrated source-drain diode (VSD = −0.7 to −1.2 V at IS = −0.6 A), and thermal resistance of 287 K/W (junction-to-ambient, FR4 standard footprint), making it suitable for thermally constrained PCB layouts without thermal vias.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Relay Driver | High-Speed Line Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes to reduce size and improve reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling 5–12 V relay coil with fast turn-off to suppress back-EMF spikes. Use Value: 2 ns turn-on delay and 3 ns fall time minimize coil energy storage, reducing snubber requirements and PCB footprint. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active pull-down switch enabling dynamic bus termination or signal routing. Use Value: 550 mΩ RDS(on) ensures <50 mV voltage drop at 100 mA, preserving signal integrity on 1.8 V logic rails. |
| High-Side Load Switch | Switching Circuit |
Use Scenario: Power gating individual subsystems (e.g., display backlight, BLE radio) in ultra-thin tablets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel high-side switch controlled directly by baseband processor GPIO. Use Value: −0.7 V VGS(th) allows direct 1.8 V logic control, eliminating level-shifter ICs and associated BOM cost. |
Use Scenario: Building compact DC-DC pre-regulator stages or LED current switches in medical patch devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier or PWM-controlled current path in low-power buck topology. Use Value: 0.6 nC QG(tot) reduces gate drive losses, improving efficiency above 500 kHz switching frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2019LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 200 mΩ @ −4.5 V but in larger TSOP-6 (3.05 × 1.65 mm); 1.2 nC QG | Better conduction loss but 8× larger footprint; requires PCB real estate not available in wearables | Select only if RDS(on) < 300 mΩ is mandatory and board space permits |
| AO3401 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ @ −4.5 V in SOT-23; VGS(th) = −1.3 V typ; no HBM rating specified | Lower on-resistance but incompatible with 1.8 V logic; lacks ESD hardening for field-deployed units | Use only in non-portable, lab-grade equipment with external ESD protection |
Compared with DMN2019LSD-13 and AO3401, PMH550UPEH uniquely balances ultra-miniaturization (0.37 mm height), 1.8 V logic compatibility, and production-grade ESD robustness-making it the only viable option for volume-manufactured sub-5 mm² wearable subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMH550UPEH at 100 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is −0.5 A at Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated, and standard footprint. This derating reflects thermal limits-not electrical failure-and assumes no additional heatsinking or thermal vias.
Does PMH550UPEH require a gate resistor for stability in switching applications?
A gate resistor is recommended between controller and gate to dampen ringing caused by trace inductance and MOSFET input capacitance (Ciss = 54.8 pF). A 6 Ω external resistor was used in characterization for tf measurement; values from 2 Ω to 10 Ω balance speed and overshoot in most 1–5 MHz PWM designs.
Can PMH550UPEH be used in automotive applications?
No-PMH550UPEH is not automotive-qualified. It is not tested to AEC-Q101, lacks extended temperature validation beyond 150 °C junction, and has no PPAP documentation. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in its legal disclaimers.
How is the drain terminal thermally connected in the DFN0606-3 package?
The drain is internally connected to the exposed copper pad on the bottom of the DFN0606-3 package. For optimal thermal performance, this pad must be soldered to a ≥1 cm² copper area on the PCB-ideally with thermal vias-to achieve the rated Rth(j-sp) of 47 K/W.
