Product details
Overview
PMPB13UPX from Nexperia is a 12 V, P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, designed as a low-threshold charging switch or power management FET for portable electronics. It delivers RDS(on) = 13 mΩ at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −9.1 A (Tj = 25 °C), supports −13 A continuous drain current, and features side-wettable flanks for optical solder inspection.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB13UPX datasheet, PMPB13UPX pinout, PMPB13UPX application, or PMPB13UPX equivalent, this device is selected for compact battery-powered systems requiring low gate drive voltage, high thermal efficiency via exposed drain pad, and reliable DC-to-DC converter switching under ambient temperatures up to 150 °C.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low threshold voltage (VGS(th) = −0.4 to −0.9 V) and stable sub-threshold conduction, enabling efficient operation with low-voltage microcontroller GPIOs. Its drain-source breakdown voltage is rated at −12 V, and it exhibits low gate charge (QG(tot) = 26–39 nC) for fast switching in synchronous buck or load-switch topologies.
The device integrates five drain terminals and two source terminals in its 6-pin DFN2020MD-6 footprint, optimizing current handling and thermal dissipation. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is as low as 5–10 K/W, and normalized RDS(on) increases only ~1.3× from 25 °C to 150 °C - confirming robust performance across industrial temperature ranges.
Key Specifications

Applications
| USB-C Charging Switch | Portable DC-DC Converter High-Side Switch |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional power path control in USB-C PD 3.0 power banks managing input charging and output discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel load switch controlling 5–12 V input rail; operates in linear mode during inrush and switches fully on during steady-state. Use Value: Low 13 mΩ RDS(on) limits voltage drop to <117 mV at 9 A, preserving battery efficiency and reducing thermal derating. |
Use Scenario: High-side synchronous rectifier in 3.3 V/5 V buck converters powering SoCs in Bluetooth headsets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel high-side switch driven by integrated controller; commutates at 1–2 MHz with <70 ns turn-off delay. Use Value: 26–39 nC QG(tot) ensures minimal gate drive loss and supports tight duty-cycle control for precise output regulation. |
| Battery Protection Circuit | HDD Power Management |
|
Use Scenario: Reverse-current blocking and overcurrent cutoff in Li-ion battery packs for medical wearables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured P-MOSFET for bidirectional isolation; activated by protection IC upon fault detection. Use Value: −12 V VDS rating and −0.6 V VGS(th) ensure reliable turn-on even at end-of-discharge cell voltages (~2.8 V). |
Use Scenario: Standby power gating for 2.5-inch HDD spindle motors and controller ICs in portable NAS enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage power switch disconnecting 12 V motor supply during sleep mode; IDSS < −1 µA minimizes quiescent drain. Use Value: −1 µA drain leakage at −12 V VDS extends standby battery life beyond 30 days in always-on storage devices. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2011UFD-7 | RDS(on) = 15.5 mΩ @ −4.5 V; larger 2.5 × 2.5 mm DFN package; no side-wettable flanks | Lacks AOI support; less suitable for high-reliability portable assembly lines requiring optical solder verification | Preferred where board space permits and AOI is not required; identical gate drive compatibility |
| SI2301DDS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 105 mΩ @ −2.5 V; SOT-23 package; higher VGS(th) (−0.7 to −1.3 V); no exposed thermal pad | Cannot sustain >2 A continuous current without significant derating; unsuitable for >5 W power switching | Only viable for low-current (<1 A), cost-sensitive applications where thermal performance is secondary |
Compared with DMN2011UFD-7 and SI2301DDS-T1-BE3, PMPB13UPX offers superior thermal performance (5–10 K/W vs. >40 K/W), AOI capability, and 8× lower RDS(on) than SI2301DDS, making it the only choice for compact, high-efficiency 9 A portable power switches.

FAQ
Is PMPB13UPX suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes. With −12 V VDS, −13 A peak current capability, and controlled SOA (Safe Operating Area) up to 100 ms pulses, PMPB13UPX supports controlled inrush limiting in hot-swap circuits. Its low RDS(on) and fast turn-off (69 ns td(off)) minimize energy dissipation during transient events, and the exposed drain pad ensures stable thermal response during repeated insertion cycles.
What is the maximum PCB copper area needed to achieve 12.5 W power dissipation?
A 6 cm² single-sided copper pad, tin-plated and dedicated to the exposed drain terminal, is required to achieve the rated 12.5 W Ptot at Tsp = 25 °C. This value is validated per JEDEC JESD51-2 and assumes no internal layer copper; adding inner-layer thermal vias (≥12× 0.3 mm diameter) can further reduce Rth(j-a) by ~20%.
Does PMPB13UPX require a gate resistor for ESD-safe switching?
A 10–47 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during fast edge transitions, especially when driven directly from MCU GPIOs. While not mandatory for basic functionality, it improves EMI performance and prevents gate oxide stress from overshoot - confirmed by Nexperia's application note AN11158 for DFN2020MD-6 layout practices.
Can PMPB13UPX be used in back-to-back configuration for AC blocking?
Yes. Its matched threshold voltage (−0.4 to −0.9 V) and symmetrical RDS(on) behavior enable stable bidirectional blocking in back-to-back P-MOSFET configurations. When paired with an identical unit, it achieves <2 µA total leakage at ±12 V and supports true bidirectional current flow up to −9.1 A per device, meeting requirements for USB-C reversible power path designs.
