Nexperia USA Inc. PMN27UPH

Overview

PMN27UPH from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, rated for −20 V drain-source voltage, −5.7 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 27 mΩ typical R_DS(on) at V_GS = −4.5 V and I_D = −2.4 A. It serves as a high-side load switch or high-speed line driver in compact power management circuits.

For engineers reviewing the PMN27UPH datasheet, PMN27UPH pinout, PMN27UPH application, or PMN27UPH equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage logic-level gate drive compatibility, fast switching performance (t_d(on) = 19 ns, t_f = 27 ns), and thermal robustness in space-constrained PCB layouts with standard FR4 mounting.

Technical Context

This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching transients. Its gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)) ranges from −0.45 V to −0.95 V, enabling reliable turn-on with 1.8 V logic-level signals, while maintaining −8 V maximum gate-source rating.

The device features integrated source-drain diode with V_SD = −0.75 V at I_S = −2.4 A and exhibits dynamic parameters including Q_G(tot) = 21–31 nC, C_iss = 2340 pF, and Cr_ss = 150 pF - all specified at V_DS = −10 V and T_j = 25 °C.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN27UPH at 100 °C ambient temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is −3.5 A at T_amb = 100 °C with V_GS = −4.5 V, per the limiting values table. This derating reflects thermal constraints of the SOT457 package on standard FR4 PCBs without extended copper area; using a 6 cm² drain pad restores full −5.7 A rating at 25 °C but does not eliminate ambient-temperature derating.

Can PMN27UPH be driven directly by a 1.8 V GPIO without a level shifter?

Yes - its gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)) is as low as −0.45 V (min), and R_DS(on) remains 66 mΩ at V_GS = −1.8 V, enabling functional enhancement. However, full performance (27 mΩ) requires −4.5 V gate drive; 1.8 V operation yields higher conduction loss and reduced current capability.

How many drain terminals does the SOT457 package have, and why?

The SOT457 (TSOP6) package has four drain terminals (pins 1, 2, 5, and 6), all internally connected to the MOSFET die's drain metallization. This configuration reduces package inductance and spreads thermal load across multiple solder joints, achieving R_th(j-a) as low as 78 K/W with a 6 cm² PCB copper area - critical for high-current, high-efficiency switching.

Is PMN27UPH suitable for automotive applications?

No - the official Nexperia documentation states this device is "non-automotive qualified" and has not been tested or qualified to AEC-Q101 standards. It lacks automotive-specific reliability screening, temperature range validation beyond −55 °C to +150 °C, and failure rate reporting required for automotive use; industrial and consumer applications are appropriate.
