Product details
Overview
PMN70XPEA115 from NXP Semiconductors is a single P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, 70 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V and ID = -2 A, and optimized for high-side load switching in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN70XPEA115 datasheet, PMN70XPEA115 pinout, PMN70XPEA115 application, or PMN70XPEA115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating curves, gate charge timing data, and validated alternative options for industrial and consumer DC-DC control designs.
Technical Context
This device uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low threshold voltage (-1.0 V typical VGS(th)) and fast switching with 7.8 nC total gate charge, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency load-switching topologies. Its 2 kV HBM ESD rating supports robust handling in automated assembly environments.
The PMN70XPEA115 features a 6-pin TSOP6 package with four drain terminals (pins 1, 2, 5, 6), one gate (pin 3), and one source (pin 4), delivering low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 15–20 K/W) when mounted on FR4 PCBs with 6 cm² drain pad area.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2011LFG-7 | 20 V, 55 mΩ RDS(on), 6-pin WDFN (2×2 mm); lower RDS(on) but requires solder-reflow profile optimization | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts; not compatible with TSOP6 footprint | Select when board area is critical and reflow process supports WDFN; verify gate drive compatibility with -0.9 V VGS(th) |
| SI2301DDS-T1-BE3 | 20 V, 115 mΩ RDS(on), SOT-23 package; higher on-resistance but widely available and lower cost | Suitable for low-current (<1 A) load switches where thermal budget permits higher loss | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 70 mΩ is not required and SOT-23 layout already exists |
Compared with PMN70XPEA115, DMN2011LFG-7 offers lower conduction loss in smaller area but demands tighter process control, while SI2301DDS-T1-BE3 trades performance for broad availability and legacy footprint compatibility-making PMN70XPEA115 optimal for balanced performance, size, and manufacturability in new designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN70XPEA115 at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The PMN70XPEA115 supports -2 A continuous drain current at Tamb = 100 °C with standard FR4 mounting (single-sided copper, 6 cm² drain pad). This derated value reflects thermal limitations under sustained high-temperature operation and must be verified against actual board layout using Fig. 2 (normalized Ider) from the datasheet. At 25 °C ambient, PMN70XPEA115 delivers -4.1 A continuous current.
Does PMN70XPEA115 require a gate resistor for ESD protection?
No, PMN70XPEA115 integrates 2 kV HBM ESD protection on the gate terminal, eliminating the need for external series resistors solely for ESD mitigation. However, a small gate resistor (e.g., 10–47 Ω) is still recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during fast switching, especially in high-noise industrial environments where PMN70XPEA115 is commonly deployed.
Can PMN70XPEA115 be used as a direct replacement for an N-channel MOSFET in high-side switching?
No, PMN70XPEA115 is a P-channel device and operates with inverted logic: it turns ON when gate voltage is pulled below source. Unlike N-channel high-side switches, PMN70XPEA115 does not require a gate-boost circuit or charge pump. Its -1.0 V VGS(th) allows direct 3.3 V logic control, making PMN70XPEA115 simpler to implement than N-channel alternatives in high-side configurations.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for PMN70XPEA115?
The PMN70XPEA115 has a junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 15–20 K/W under standard FR4 PCB conditions (single-sided copper, tin-plated, 6 cm² drain pad, t ≤ 5 s). This value enables accurate thermal modeling when calculating junction temperature rise above ambient, especially critical for PMN70XPEA115's 150 °C maximum Tj rating in sealed enclosures.
Is PMN70XPEA115 qualified for automotive applications?
No, PMN70XPEA115 is not automotive-qualified. The official NXP datasheet explicitly states that unless otherwise indicated, products like PMN70XPEA115 are non-automotive qualified and are neither tested nor warranted for automotive use. For automotive-grade equivalents, consult NXP's AEC-Q101 qualified TrenchMOS portfolio-PMN70XPEA115 remains intended for industrial, consumer, and medical applications.
