Product details
Overview
PMN48XPAX from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in TSOP6 (SOT457) package, rated for -20 V VDS, 4.1 A continuous drain current at VGS = -4.5 V and 25 °C, with RDS(on) of 48 mΩ (typ), AEC-Q101 qualified, and optimized for high-side load switching in automotive and industrial power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN48XPAX datasheet, PMN48XPAX pinout, PMN48XPAX application, or PMN48XPAX equivalent, this device is selected for logic-level gate drive compatibility, fast switching performance (td(on) = 15 ns, tf = 22 ns), low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W), and robust operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate charge (QG(tot) = 8.7 nC typ). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = -0.75 to -1.25 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs.
The device integrates an intrinsic source-drain diode (VSD = -0.75 V at IS = -2.4 A), supports peak drain current up to -20 A (single pulse), and maintains stable RDS(on) across temperature (70 mΩ max at 150 °C), enabling predictable thermal design in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in high-side switch configurations. |
| RDS(on) | 48 mΩ (typ) at VGS = -4.5 V, ID = -2.4 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 2 A, critical for thermally constrained designs. |
| QG(tot) | 8.7 nC (typ) - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables >1 MHz switching in DC-DC or motor control stages. |
| td(on)/tf | 15 ns / 22 ns - Fast edge rates minimize switching losses and EMI in high-frequency load switching applications. |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Rated junction temperature supports under-hood automotive use and industrial environments without derating below 100 °C ambient. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 17 K/W - Low junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, enabling compact thermal pads. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP6 (SOT457), surface-mount plastic package with 6 leads, 3.1 mm × 2.7 mm footprint, single-sided FR4 PCB mounting pad (6 cm² drain area).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | Four parallel drain terminals reduce package inductance and improve current sharing; connected to large copper pour for thermal and power integrity. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring ≤100 nA leakage at -12 V; logic-level compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; internal connection to substrate; forms cathode of integrated body diode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = -2.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 82 mΩ), eliminating need for level-shifting in 3.3 V systems. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HTRB, and ESD (HBM ≥ 2 kV), supporting ASIL-B system integration. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG | Figure-of-merit of ~420 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency power switching. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = -0.75 V at -2.4 A enables freewheeling in inductive loads without external diode in relay or solenoid drivers. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-side switching of 12 V solenoids and lamps in door lock actuators and interior lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel MOSFET configured as high-side load switch with integrated body diode for inductive kickback clamping. Use Value: Eliminates need for external flyback diode and level shifter; AEC-Q101 qualification ensures compliance with automotive environmental stress requirements. |
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC field devices (valves, indicators) from isolated digital outputs in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlled by optocoupled logic signals; handles repetitive 100 ms on/off cycles. Use Value: 4.1 A rating and 150 °C Tj support sustained operation in enclosed cabinets; low RDS(on) minimizes self-heating during duty-cycled loads. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Load Switch | Smart Home Hub Power Management |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling VBUS paths in USB-C PD sink applications where reverse current blocking is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protection switch placed between input and buck converter; blocks backfeed when powered off. Use Value: P-channel topology provides inherent reverse-current blocking; fast turn-off (td(off) = 51 ns) limits fault energy during overvoltage events. |
Use Scenario: Sequenced power-up of Wi-Fi SoC, sensor array, and display subsystems in battery-powered smart home hubs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Individually controlled high-side switch per rail, driven directly by 3.3 V GPIOs without external biasing. Use Value: Logic-level compatibility eliminates discrete level shifters; compact TSOP6 footprint saves space in multi-rail power domains. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-side switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 45 mΩ (typ) at VGS = -4.5 V but higher QG(tot) = 12 nC; SOT-23-6 package (smaller, lower thermal mass). | Limited to ≤1.5 A continuous due to higher Rth(j-a); unsuitable for sustained 4 A loads or automotive under-hood use. | Select when board space is critical and thermal budget allows higher RDS(on) rise at elevated temperature. |
| SI2305DS-T1-E3 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ (typ) at VGS = -4.5 V; no AEC-Q101 qualification; Rth(j-sp) = 25 K/W (worse thermal coupling). | Not rated for automotive; requires larger PCB copper area to match PMN48XPAX thermal performance at 2.5 A. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where qualification and thermal margin are non-critical. |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and SI2305DS-T1-E3, PMN48XPAX delivers superior thermal performance (17 K/W vs ≥25 K/W), automotive qualification, and tighter RDS(on) stability over temperature-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability, high-current high-side switching where board area permits TSOP6.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN48XPAX at 100 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on FR4 PCB (single-sided copper, 6 cm² drain pad), the maximum continuous drain current is -2.5 A, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). This reflects thermal derating due to reduced power dissipation capability at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does PMN48XPAX require a gate resistor for ESD protection?
No external gate resistor is required solely for ESD protection-the device features integrated gate protection with IGSS ≤ -100 nA at VGS = -12 V. However, a small series gate resistor (≤10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing during fast switching and limit peak gate current from driver ICs.
Can PMN48XPAX be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
No-PMN48XPAX is a discrete P-channel MOSFET intended for unidirectional high-side switching, not synchronous rectification. It lacks the optimized body diode recovery characteristics (e.g., low Qrr, soft recovery) and dual-gate control interface required for active rectifier operation in buck or flyback converters.
How does the TSOP6 package affect PCB layout for thermal performance?
The TSOP6 package relies on four parallel drain pins connected to a large copper pour (6 cm² minimum) for effective heat dissipation. Layout must avoid thermal isolation-drain pads must be directly connected to inner-layer thermal planes via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to achieve the specified Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W.
