Product details
Overview
PMN50XP from Nexperia is a P-channel TrenchMOS enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TSOP6 (SOT457) package, designed for low-voltage load switching and battery management. It features −20 V drain-source voltage rating, 48–60 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −2.8 A, and −0.55 to −0.95 V gate threshold voltage, enabling efficient operation in portable DC-DC converters and USB-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the PMN50XP datasheet, PMN50XP pinout, PMN50XP application, or PMN50XP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated TSOP6 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered equipment, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The PMN50XP employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve extremely low on-state resistance and low gate threshold voltage, supporting direct logic-level drive from 3.3 V or 2.5 V controllers. Its P-channel configuration enables high-side switching without level-shifting circuitry.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 55 K/W, and safe operating area supports continuous −4.8 A at 25 °C solder point temperature and pulsed −19.4 A peak drain current. The integrated source-drain diode has −0.77 V forward voltage at −1.7 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V and lower battery rails. |
| RDS(on) | 48–60 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −2.8 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 2.8 A, critical for thermally constrained portable designs. |
| VGS(th) | −0.55 to −0.95 V @ ID = −0.25 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V GPIOs and low-power microcontrollers. |
| QG(tot) | 10 nC @ VDS = −10 V, ID = −4.7 A - Low gate charge reduces drive power and switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC stages. |
| td(off) | 82 ns @ VGS = −4.5 V, RG(ext) = 6 Ω - Fast turn-off supports >1 MHz switching in synchronous buck controllers. |
| ID | −4.8 A continuous @ Tsp = 25 °C - Supports medium-current load switching in industrial sensors and peripheral power rails. |
| Ciss | 1020 pF @ VDS = −20 V - Input capacitance impacts gate driver sizing and EMI behavior in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
PMN50XP is housed in a plastic surface-mounted TSOP6 package (SOT457), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. The 6-pin outline features dual drain leads for enhanced current handling and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drain | Primary current-carrying terminal; electrically tied to pins 2, 5, and 6 for parallel conduction and reduced package inductance. |
| 2 | Drain | Secondary drain connection; shares same node as pins 1, 5, and 6 to distribute current and improve thermal spreading. |
| 3 | Gate | Control input; requires ≤12 V absolute max gate-source voltage; low threshold enables direct MCU interface. |
| 4 | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; connected internally to substrate and exposed pad in some variants. |
| 5 | Drain | Third drain terminal; contributes to total package current rating and thermal mass via copper leadframe. |
| 6 | Drain | Fourth drain terminal; ensures mechanical stability and low-inductance routing in high-speed switching applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extremely low RDS(on) | 48 mΩ typical at −4.5 V gate drive - minimizes I²R losses in battery-powered load switches and power OR-ing circuits. |
| Low VGS(th) | −0.75 V typical - allows full enhancement with 2.5 V/3.3 V logic outputs, eliminating need for gate drivers in many embedded systems. |
| TrenchMOS architecture | Optimized cell pitch and trench depth - delivers superior on-resistance-to-area ratio versus planar MOSFETs in same package. |
| TSOP6 (SOT457) package | 0.95 mm pitch, 3.1 × 2.7 mm footprint - supports high-density routing and reflow-compatible assembly in space-constrained IoT modules. |
| Source-drain diode | VSD = −0.77 V @ −1.7 A - provides inherent reverse-current blocking and freewheeling capability in buck and load-switch topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UX | RDS(on) = 48 mΩ @ −4.5 V but higher VGS(th) (−1.0 to −2.5 V); SOT-23-6 package with smaller thermal mass. | Less suitable for 2.5 V logic drive; requires stronger gate pull-down for reliable turn-off in noisy environments. | Select DMG2305UX only if board space is critical and gate drive voltage ≥4.5 V is guaranteed. |
| SI2305DS | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ @ −4.5 V; higher QG (13 nC); same TSOP6 footprint but different pinout (G-S-D-D-D-D). | Requires PCB layout revision due to non-identical pin assignment; slower switching increases losses above 500 kHz. | Choose SI2305DS only when sourcing constraints require Vishay parts and layout modification is acceptable. |
Compared with DMG2305UX and SI2305DS, the PMN50XP offers the lowest VGS(th) among the three, enabling direct compatibility with 2.5 V/3.3 V MCUs without gate boosting, while its validated TSOP6 pinout and 55 K/W thermal resistance provide superior reliability in sustained-load industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for PMN50XP at 100 °C solder point temperature?
The PMN50XP supports −3 A continuous drain current at Tsp = 100 °C, as specified in Table 4 (Limiting values). This derated value reflects thermal constraints of the TSOP6 package and must be used in thermal design calculations for ambient temperatures exceeding 70 °C. The PMN50XP datasheet confirms this limit applies under VGS = −4.5 V bias and accounts for junction temperature rise up to 150 °C.
Does PMN50XP have an integrated ESD protection diode on the gate terminal?
No, the PMN50XP does not include built-in gate ESD protection. Its gate leakage current specification (±10 to ±100 nA) and absolute maximum VGS rating of ±12 V indicate it relies on external protection-such as series gate resistors and TVS clamps-in systems exposed to human-body-model (HBM) or charged-device-model (CDM) ESD events. This is consistent with standard PowerMOS design practice for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications.
Can PMN50XP be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No, the PMN50XP is not recommended for synchronous rectification. Its body diode reverse recovery time (trr) is unspecified in the datasheet, and its QGD/QG ratio (1.3/10 = 0.13) is higher than optimized synchronous rectifiers, increasing switching losses during commutation. The PMN50XP datasheet explicitly positions it for load switching-not rectification-applications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) for PMN50XP in standard JEDEC PCB mounting?
The PMN50XP datasheet does not specify Rth(j-a) under JEDEC conditions; only Rth(j-sp) = 55 K/W (junction-to-solder-point) is provided in Table 5. Ambient thermal resistance depends entirely on PCB layout-copper area, layer count, and airflow-and must be measured or simulated per application. For estimation, a 2-layer board with 1 in² 2 oz copper on both sides yields ~120 K/W, but this is not guaranteed by Nexperia for the PMN50XP.
Is PMN50XP RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the PMN50XP meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Nexperia's material declarations. The "165" suffix in the full orderable part number PMN50XP,165 indicates tape-and-reel packaging compliant with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), and all materials comply with Nexperia's green policy effective from 2007, as confirmed in the product change notice accompanying the Rev. 02 datasheet.
