Product details
Overview
PMN45EN from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode TrenchMOS™ logic-level power MOSFET in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 5.2 A ID (DC at Tsp = 25 °C), and 40 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V / ID = 3 A. It serves as a high-speed load switch in battery-powered systems including notebook computers and DC-DC converter driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the PMN45EN datasheet, PMN45EN pinout, PMN45EN application, or PMN45EN equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 1.5 V typical gate threshold voltage, 42–50 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, fast 14 ns turn-on delay, and surface-mount TSOP6 footprint optimized for space-constrained power management layouts.
Technical Context
The PMN45EN employs TrenchMOS™ technology to achieve enhanced conduction efficiency and switching speed over planar MOSFETs. Its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V) enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
Thermal performance is defined relative to solder point temperature (Tsp), with Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W and derating curves showing 100% Ptot only at Tsp ≤ 25 °C. Safe operating area (SOA) is characterized up to 100 ms pulses, supporting transient load demands in motor control and power supply applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum drain-source voltage - supports 24 V rail systems with margin against transients |
| ID (DC) | 5.2 A at Tsp = 25 °C - delivers continuous load current for medium-power switching nodes |
| RDS(on) | 42–50 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V / ID = 2.8 A - enables efficient operation from standard logic-level drivers |
| Qg(tot) | 6.1 nC total gate charge - ensures fast switching with low drive power demand |
| td(on)/tf | 14 ns / 16 ns - supports high-frequency PWM in DC-DC converters up to ~1 MHz |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - guarantees reliable turn-on with 3.3 V GPIO or low-voltage controllers |
| Ptot | 1.75 W at Tsp = 25 °C - requires thermal design attention on PCB copper area and solder point cooling |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (TSOP6) is a 6-lead plastic surface-mount package with exposed drain pads for thermal enhancement. Pin 1–2–5–6 are internally connected to drain; Pin 3 is gate; Pin 4 is source - enabling dual-drain configuration for paralleling or high-current routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | Common high-side connection; electrically tied - used for heat sinking and current sharing across four pins |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input; low 1.5 V typical threshold enables direct 3.3 V MCU drive without buffer stage |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; connects to ground or low-side return path in high-side switch configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchMOS™ process | Reduces RDS(on) per die area by ~30% vs. planar MOSFETs - improves power density in compact designs |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V - eliminates need for gate driver ICs in 3.3 V/5 V control environments |
| Fast switching | td(on) = 14 ns, tf = 16 ns - minimizes switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC topologies |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | 2.35 nC / 1.7 nC = 1.38 - suppresses Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = 0.75–1.2 V at IS = 1.7 A - supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Motor Control | Notebook Computer Load Switch |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3025LSD-13 | 30 V VDS, 5.8 A ID, 25 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (10.5 nC) | Better conduction loss at high VGS; less suitable for 3.3 V-only drive due to 1.8 V max VGS(th) | Prefer when board uses 5 V gate drive and thermal headroom exists for higher Qg-related losses |
| SI2305DS-T1-GE3 | 30 V VDS, 4.1 A ID, 55 mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5 V - higher on-resistance, smaller SOT-23 package | Lower current rating and no multi-pin drain; limited thermal capability (Rth(j-a) ≈ 150 K/W) | Select only for space-constrained, low-current (<2 A) loads where PCB area is critical and thermal budget is relaxed |
Compared with PMN45EN, DMN3025LSD-13 offers lower conduction loss but demands more gate drive energy, while SI2305DS-T1-GE3 trades performance for footprint reduction - making PMN45EN the balanced choice for 2–5 A logic-level switching with thermal and drive flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN45EN at 70 °C solder point temperature?
The PMN45EN supports 4.2 A continuous drain current (ID) at Tsp = 70 °C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the limiting values table. This derated value reflects thermal constraints of the SOT457 package and must be applied in thermal designs where ambient or PCB heating exceeds 25 °C - the PMN45EN datasheet provides normalized derating curves for precise layout-based current allocation.
Does PMN45EN have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, the PMN45EN integrates a source-drain body diode with a typical forward voltage (VSD) of 0.75 V at IS = 1.7 A and VGS = 0 V. This diode enables freewheeling current paths in inductive loads and supports synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters - its 1.2 V maximum VSD ensures predictable reverse recovery behavior under switching conditions.
Can PMN45EN be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pin?
Yes, the PMN45EN can be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pin due to its logic-level gate threshold: VGS(th) is specified from 1.0 V to 2.0 V, with 1.5 V typical at ID = 1 mA. At 3.3 V gate drive, the device achieves full enhancement - delivering 42–50 mΩ RDS(on) at 2.8 A, making it suitable for robust low-voltage switching without external level shifters or buffers.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for PMN45EN?
The PMN45EN has a maximum thermal resistance of 70 K/W from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) when mounted on a metal-clad board, as defined in Table 4 of the datasheet. This parameter is critical for calculating junction temperature rise above the PCB solder point - for example, at 3 A and 42 mΩ, power dissipation is ~378 mW, resulting in ~26.5 °C rise above Tsp under ideal mounting conditions.
Is PMN45EN RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the PMN45EN is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, consistent with Nexperia's environmental policy and manufacturing standards. The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) and IEC 61249-2-21 for bromine and chlorine content, with full compliance documentation available through Nexperia's official product change notifications and material declarations.
