Product details
Overview
PMN50UPE from NXP Semiconductors is a single P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, rated for −20 V drain-source voltage and −4 A continuous drain current at 25 °C. It features low RDS(on) of 50 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = −4.5 V, −3.6 A, and 3 kV HBM ESD protection, enabling high-side load switching in space-constrained industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PMN50UPE datasheet, PMN50UPE pinout, PMN50UPE application, or PMN50UPE equivalent, key selection criteria include its −0.6 V typical gate threshold voltage, thermal resistance of 88 K/W (junction-to-ambient, drain pad), and suitability for relay driver circuits requiring fast turn-off delay <2.2 µs and low conduction loss in 12 V DC systems.
Technical Context
This device uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve enhanced channel density and reduced on-resistance versus planar P-channel devices. Its gate threshold voltage range (−0.47 V to −0.9 V) ensures reliable turn-on with logic-level gate drive down to −2.5 V, while the integrated source-drain diode supports bidirectional current handling up to −1.3 A.
The TSOP6 package features four drain terminals (pins 1,2,5,6) and one source (pin 4), enabling low-inductance, high-current PCB routing. Thermal performance is optimized for FR4 boards with 6 cm² drain pad, delivering 1235 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient and derating to 5000 mW at solder point (Tsp = 25 °C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 48 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = −4.5 V; VGS(th) = −0.7 V; same SOT-563 package (smaller than TSOP6) | Lower footprint area but higher thermal resistance (150 K/W j-a); unsuitable for >2 A continuous loads without forced cooling | Select when board space is critical and thermal budget allows ≤2 A operation |
| SI2305DS-T1-E3 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = −4.5 V; VGS(th) = −1.0 V; SOT-23 package with single drain terminal | Higher gate threshold requires ≥−5 V drive for full enhancement; lower peak current (−12 A) limits inrush handling | Select only if existing SOT-23 layout must be reused and gate drive can supply −5 V |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and SI2305DS-T1-E3, PMN50UPE offers superior thermal performance via quad-drain TSOP6 packaging and lower VGS(th), making it preferred for high-reliability 3–4 A high-side switching where PCB real estate permits 3.0 × 2.5 mm footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN50UPE at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is −2.3 A at Tamb = 100 °C and VGS = −4.5 V, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated ambient temperatures, and assumes standard FR4 PCB mounting with 6 cm² drain pad.
Can PMN50UPE be used in a low-side switching configuration?
No-PMN50UPE is a P-channel MOSFET optimized for high-side switching. Its source terminal is internally tied to the system reference (typically ground in high-side use), and using it as a low-side switch would require gate drive below system ground, which is impractical without negative supply rails or level-shifting circuitry.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation at DC conditions?
At DC, the SOA is limited by RDS(on) and thermal resistance: maximum continuous power is 1235 mW at Tamb = 25 °C (Table 5), corresponding to −3.6 A at VDS = 0.095 V (RDS(on) × ID). Fig. 3 confirms this boundary aligns with the "DC; Tamb = 25 °C" curve intersecting VDS ≈ 0.1 V at −3.6 A.
Does PMN50UPE have an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes-it includes an inherent source-drain body diode with VSD = −0.8 V to −1.2 V at IS = −1.3 A and Tj = 25 °C (Table 7). This diode conducts during reverse current events (e.g., inductive kickback), and its low forward voltage reduces energy dissipation compared to discrete diode solutions.
