Product details

Overview

PMPB15ENEX from Nexperia is a 30 V, N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, optimized for low-side switching with 16 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V and I_D = 7 A, logic-level gate drive compatibility (V_GS(th) = 1.5 V typ), and side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder inspection - deployed in relay drivers and high-speed line drivers.

For engineers reviewing the PMPB15ENEX datasheet, PMPB15ENEX pinout, PMPB15ENEX application, or PMPB15ENEX equivalent, this device supports compact, thermally efficient PCB layouts in space-constrained industrial and consumer power switches where low conduction loss and fast switching (t_r = 18 ns, t_f = 7 ns) are critical.

Technical Context

This MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low R_DS(on) and high transconductance (g_fs = 24 S typ), enabling efficient operation in continuous and pulsed load-switching applications. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5 V typ) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs.

The device integrates ESD protection >2 kV HBM (Class H2) and features a drain-connected thermal pad structure across five terminals, supporting 15.6 W total power dissipation at T_sp = 25 °C - enabled by ultra-thin 0.65 mm profile and enhanced thermal coupling to PCB copper.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	30 V - maximum blocking voltage for 24 V rail switching and transient-tolerant low-side loads
R_DS(on)	16 mΩ typ at V_GS = 10 V, I_D = 7 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 7 A DC
V_GS(th)	1.5 V typ - ensures full enhancement with standard logic-level GPIOs without level-shifting
Q_G(tot)	9.5 nC typ - supports fast switching with low gate-drive power in PWM circuits up to 1 MHz
I_D (continuous)	7 A at T_amb = 25 °C - rated for sustained current in FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad
t_r/t_f	18 ns / 7 ns - minimizes switching transition losses in high-frequency load control
R_th(j-sp)	4–8 K/W - enables direct thermal path from junction to solder point for improved power handling

Pinout & Package

DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.65 mm leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible reflow assembly. The exposed drain pad occupies pins 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7; source connects via pins 4 and 8; gate is on pin 3.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 2, 5, 6, 7	Drain (D)	Five parallel drain terminals tied to internal die drain metallization and thermal pad - primary current path and heat sink interface
3	Gate (G)	Single gate input with 2 Ω typical gate resistance - accepts logic-level drive and supports controlled dV/dt
4, 8	Source (S)	Two-source terminals providing low-inductance return path and improved current sharing in high-di/dt switching

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Logic-level gate drive	V_GS(th) = 1.5 V typ enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without external level shifters
Side-wettable flanks	Exposed copper sidewalls on all six terminals support automated optical inspection of solder joint integrity post-reflow
Trench MOSFET architecture	Delivers 24 S forward transconductance and 16 mΩ R_DS(on), reducing both conduction and switching losses
ESD robustness	HBM rating >2 kV (Class H2) ensures reliability during board handling and in-system operation
Thermal enhancement	R_th(j-sp) = 4–8 K/W enables 15.6 W power dissipation with minimal footprint - ideal for dense power modules

Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed active pull-down element enabling precise edge control and signal integrity.

Use Value: 18 ns rise time and 7 ns fall time ensure sub-100 ns transitions compatible with >5 Mbps data rates.

Low-Side Load Switch

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled low-side pass element with integrated ESD protection and thermal monitoring capability.

Use Value: 22 mΩ max R_DS(on) at 100 °C ensures <1 W loss at 6.5 A, supporting thermal management without heatsinks.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Efficient replacement for Schottky diodes in high-frequency (<1 MHz) flyback or forward converters.

Use Value: 16 mΩ R_DS(on) and 110 pF C_oss reduce conduction loss and switching node ringing versus 40 V Schottkys.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-side switching applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
DMN3025LSD-13	R_DS(on) = 25 mΩ min at V_GS = 10 V; SO-8 package; higher R_th(j-a) (62 K/W)	Larger footprint and lower thermal performance - suitable only when board area is unconstrained	Select if SO-8 compatibility or legacy layout reuse is required over thermal density
PSMN2R0-30YL	R_DS(on) = 2.0 mΩ typ; LFPAK56 package; 5× larger footprint; 10× higher cost	Targeted at high-current (>20 A), high-reliability industrial motor drives - over-specified for 7 A use cases	Choose only when >15 A peak current or extended lifetime under thermal cycling is mandatory

Compared with DMN3025LSD-13 and PSMN2R0-30YL, PMPB15ENEX delivers optimal balance of thermal density, logic-level drive, and cost for ≤7 A low-side switching - offering 3× better R_DS(on)/mm² than SO-8 alternatives and 40% lower gate charge than LFPAK56 equivalents.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15ENEX at 100 °C ambient temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is 5 A at T_amb = 100 °C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and a 6 cm² drain pad. This derating reflects thermal limits defined by R_th(j-a) = 32–37 K/W and ensures safe junction temperature below 150 °C under steady-state conditions.

Does PMPB15ENEX require a gate resistor for typical 3.3 V MCU drive?

A gate resistor is recommended between 10 Ω and 47 Ω to dampen ringing and control dV/dt, even with 3.3 V drive. Although the gate threshold is 1.5 V typ, the 9.5 nC total gate charge and 2 Ω intrinsic gate resistance make external damping necessary to prevent oscillation during fast edge transitions in noisy environments.

Can PMPB15ENEX be used in avalanche energy applications?

No - PMPB15ENEX is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its datasheet specifies only unclamped inductive switching (UIS) limits in SOA curves, and no E_AS value is provided. It must be operated within Safe Operating Area boundaries with appropriate snubbing or clamping for inductive loads.

How does the side-wettable flank design impact reflow profile requirements?

The side-wettable flanks require a standard lead-free reflow profile with peak temperature ≥245 °C and liquidus time ≥60 s to ensure complete solder fillet formation on terminal sidewalls. IPC-A-610 Class 2 visual acceptance criteria apply, and X-ray or AOI must verify solder meniscus height ≥0.1 mm on all six terminals.
