Product details
Overview
PMN23UN from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode TrenchMOS™ power MOSFET in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, designed for low-voltage switching applications. It delivers RDS(on) ≤28 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, supports continuous drain current up to 6.3 A at Tsp = 25 °C, and features ultra-low threshold voltage (VGS(th) typ. 0.7 V), enabling efficient operation in battery-powered load switch circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN23UN datasheet, PMN23UN pinout, PMN23UN application, or PMN23UN equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in notebook DC-DC stages and motor control, and confirmed alternative parts with documented parameter differences.
Technical Context
The PMN23UN employs µTrenchMOS™ technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate charge (Qg(tot) typ. 10.6 nC). Its VGS(th) range of 0.4–0.7 V ensures reliable turn-on from 1.8 V logic, while RDS(on) remains stable across junction temperatures up to 150 °C.
Designed for surface-mount operation in space-constrained systems, it integrates a source-drain diode with VSD ≤1.2 V at IS = 1.7 A and exhibits low output capacitance (Coss typ. 185 pF), supporting high-frequency PWM control in DC-DC converters and load-switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V maximum - supports 12 V and 15 V rail switching without derating. |
| RDS(on) | 23–28 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V - enables <150 mW conduction loss at 6 A. |
| ID | 6.3 A continuous at Tsp = 25 °C - suitable for notebook CPU core power delivery. |
| VGS(th) | 0.4–0.7 V - guarantees turn-on with 1.8 V GPIO or low-voltage microcontroller outputs. |
| Qg(tot) | 10.6 nC typical - reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching in buck converters. |
| Ciss | 740 pF typical - balances EMI control and switching speed in compact layouts. |
| Tj max | +150 °C - allows operation in thermally dense notebook chassis or industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (TSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package with 6 leads; compact 3.1 × 2.7 mm footprint and 0.95 mm pitch; optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance via solder-point conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (d) | Parallel-connected drain terminals - provide low-inductance, high-current path to PCB ground plane or power plane. |
| 3 | Gate (g) | Control input - requires <10.6 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±8 V absolute max). |
| 4 | Source (s) | Reference node for gate drive and load return - ties directly to system ground or low-side sense point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| µTrenchMOS™ technology | Enables 23 mΩ RDS(on) in TSOP6 - achieves higher current density than planar MOSFETs of same size. |
| Low VGS(th) | Turns on fully at 1.8 V - eliminates need for level shifters when driven by modern low-voltage MCUs. |
| Fast switching | td(on)/tr/td(off)/tf = 8.5/14.5/55/16 ns - supports >500 kHz PWM in synchronous buck regulators. |
| Source-drain diode | VSD ≤1.2 V at 1.7 A - provides body-diode functionality for freewheeling in half-bridge configurations. |
| Thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - enables 1.75 W dissipation with modest PCB copper area (≥1 cm² 2-oz copper). |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V; VGS(th) = 0.5–1.1 V; SOT-23-3 package (3-pin, no drain paralleling) | Limited to ≤3.5 A continuous due to smaller package; lacks multi-drain thermal path. | Select when board space is critical and current demand ≤3.5 A; verify gate drive compatibility with wider VGS(th) range. |
| SI2302DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 35 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V; VGS(th) = 0.4–1.0 V; same SOT-23-3 footprint | Higher conduction loss increases thermal stress above 2 A; lower peak current rating (IDM = 12 A). | Use only in cost-sensitive, low-power (<2 A) load switches where 35 mΩ loss is acceptable. |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and SI2302DS-T1-BE3, the PMN23UN delivers superior thermal performance via its 4-drain SOT457 layout, higher current capability (6.3 A vs. ≤3.5 A), and tighter VGS(th) distribution - making it preferred for sustained high-current, low-voltage switching where PCB thermal relief is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN23UN at 70 °C solder point temperature?
The PMN23UN supports 5 A continuous drain current at Tsp = 70 °C with VGS = 4.5 V, per its limiting values table. This derating reflects thermal constraints of the SOT457 package and must be applied in designs where ambient or PCB thermal resistance limits junction temperature rise. The PMN23UN maintains safe operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Does PMN23UN have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, the PMN23UN includes an integrated source-drain body diode with VSD ≤1.2 V at IS = 1.7 A and Tj = 25 °C. This diode enables freewheeling current paths in inductive loads such as DC motors or buck converter inductors. The PMN23UN's diode is rated for continuous forward current up to 1.45 A and peak current up to 25.2 A.
Can PMN23UN be driven directly by a 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - the PMN23UN has a guaranteed VGS(th) as low as 0.4 V and typical value of 0.7 V, ensuring full enhancement at 1.8 V gate drive. Its RDS(on) remains ≤34.4 mΩ even at VGS = 2.5 V, making it compatible with 1.8 V and 2.5 V logic families without external level shifting. The PMN23UN thus simplifies interface design in modern low-voltage embedded systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point for PMN23UN?
The PMN23UN has a maximum Rth(j-sp) of 70 K/W, measured from junction to solder point under transient conditions. This value enables calculation of junction temperature rise based on actual PCB copper area and layout. For example, with 1.75 W dissipation and 70 K/W, ΔTj-sp = 122.5 K - requiring careful thermal design to keep Tj ≤150 °C. The PMN23UN's multi-drain structure enhances heat spreading versus standard SOT-23 devices.
Is PMN23UN RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the PMN23UN meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Nexperia's product compliance documentation. Its SOT457 package uses lead-free matte tin plating and green molding compound. The device carries Nexperia's standard environmental certifications, including REACH SVHC declaration and conflict minerals reporting. The PMN23UN is qualified for industrial temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C) and supports lead-free reflow profiles.
