Product details
Overview
PMPB15XN from Nexperia is a single N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, rated for 20 V drain-source voltage, 10.4 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 18 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 7.3 A. It serves as a high-efficiency charging switch or power management switch in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB15XN datasheet, PMPB15XN pinout, PMPB15XN application, or PMPB15XN equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm leadless package with exposed drain pad, low gate charge (13.4 nC typ), and thermal resistance of 33 K/W (junction-to-ambient, 6 cm² drain pad).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate drive requirements. Its gate threshold voltage (0.4–0.9 V) enables compatibility with 1.8 V and higher logic-level control, and its source-drain diode supports synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
The device features an integrated exposed drain pad for direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, and side-wettable flanks (tin-plated terminals) support automated optical solder inspection. Its safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 24 A peak drain current with 10 µs pulse width and 20 V VDS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V maximum - defines maximum blocking voltage in high-side or low-side switch configurations |
| RDS(on) | 18 mΩ typ @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 7.3 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <175 mW conduction loss at 7.3 A |
| ID (cont) | 10.4 A @ Tamb = 25 °C, t ≤ 5 s - supports high-current burst loads in portable power rails |
| QG(tot) | 13.4 nC typ - reduces gate drive power and enables efficient 1–2 MHz switching in buck converters |
| Rth(j-a) | 33 K/W @ 6 cm² drain pad - allows ~52 °C temperature rise at 1.7 W dissipation under standard FR4 layout |
| VGS(th) | 0.65 V typ @ ID = 250 µA - ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO |
| Ciss | 1240 pF - contributes to predictable gate drive timing and EMI behavior in hard-switched topologies |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220), 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.65 mm, leadless, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad and side-wettable flanks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Five parallel drain terminals connected to exposed pad - provides low-inductance, high-current path and primary thermal conduction route |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate input - requires <14 nC total charge for full enhancement; low Ciss/Crss ratio improves noise immunity |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two dedicated source terminals - form low-impedance return path; enable Kelvin sensing in precision current monitoring designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 18 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive while maintaining robust 20 V breakdown margin |
| Exposed drain pad + side-wettable flanks | Enables IR-reflow process control via AOI and achieves 33 K/W thermal resistance with 6 cm² PCB copper |
| Ultra-thin 0.65 mm profile | Supports space-constrained applications such as slim smartphones and ultraportable SSDs |
| Low VGS(th) (0.65 V typ) | Guarantees turn-on with 1.8 V logic without level-shifting, reducing BOM count in battery management ICs |
| 10.4 A continuous current rating | Meets USB PD 3.0 sink-side load switch requirements up to 20 V/3 A with margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ 4.5 V; same DFN2020-6 package but no exposed drain pad | Higher thermal resistance (55 K/W vs. 33 K/W); unsuitable for >5 A continuous operation without thermal derating | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and board area permits larger copper pads |
| SI2302DS-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 35 mΩ @ 4.5 V; SOT-23 package, 1.45 W Ptot, no side-wettable flanks | Larger RDS(on) increases conduction loss by >90 %; limited to <3 A continuous in same PCB layout | Choose only for legacy SOT-23 footprints where re-layout is prohibited and current demand is ≤2.5 A |
Compared with DMN2020LFG-7 and SI2302DS-T1-GE3, PMPB15XN delivers superior thermal performance and lower conduction loss in space-constrained portable designs-enabling higher current density without increasing PCB copper area or compromising reliability at elevated junction temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15XN at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 4.6 A at Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on an FR4 PCB having a 6 cm² tin-plated drain pad. This value is derived from thermal derating curves in Figure 2 of the datasheet and accounts for junction temperature limits of 150 °C under steady-state conditions.
Does PMPB15XN support logic-level gate drive from a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes. With a typical gate threshold voltage of 0.65 V and guaranteed minimum of 0.4 V, PMPB15XN fully enhances at 1.8 V VGS, delivering 7.3 A drain current at RDS(on) = 21 mΩ (max) - confirmed in Table 7 and Figure 10 of the datasheet.
How does the DFN2020MD-6 package differ from standard DFN2020-6?
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) adds an exposed drain pad and side-wettable flanks to the base DFN2020 footprint. These features reduce thermal resistance by ~40 % and enable automated optical inspection of solder joints - critical for high-yield manufacturing of portable electronics.
Can PMPB15XN be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes. Its integrated source-drain diode has VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at 2 A and exhibits soft reverse recovery characteristics. When paired with appropriate gate timing, it functions effectively as a synchronous rectifier in buck or flyback topologies up to 20 V output.
