Product details
Overview
PMPB15XP from NXP Semiconductors is a single P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, designed for high-efficiency low-side switching in portable power management. It delivers 15 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −8.2 A, supports −12 V drain-source voltage, −11.8 A continuous drain current (Tamb = 25 °C), and features an exposed drain pad for thermal conduction in space-constrained battery-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB15XP datasheet, PMPB15XP pinout, PMPB15XP application, or PMPB15XP equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm footprint, 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating, normalized RDS(on) stability up to 150 °C, and suitability for DC-DC converter high-side synchronous rectification where gate drive compatibility with 1.8–4.5 V logic is required.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from −0.47 V to −0.9 V at 25 °C, enabling reliable turn-on with low-voltage control signals. The device operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and exhibits stable RDS(on) across temperature due to its optimized silicon structure.
Thermal design is supported by a low Rth(j-sp) of 5–10 K/W to solder point and Rth(j-a) of 67–74 K/W on a 6 cm² drain pad PCB. Its dynamic characteristics include 67–100 nC total gate charge and 530 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss), enabling efficient operation in high-frequency switching applications up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −12 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 12 V rail systems. |
| RDS(on) | 15 mΩ (typ) at VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −8.2 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 8 A, critical for thermal budget in compact designs. |
| ID | −11.8 A (max, t ≤ 5 s) - Supports short-duration peak loads in portable device power sequencing. |
| VGS(th) | −0.68 V (typ) - Ensures robust turn-on with 1.8 V logic-level gate drivers without requiring level-shifting. |
| QG(tot) | 67–100 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in PWM-controlled DC-DC stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG1012UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 22 mΩ (VGS = −4.5 V); smaller 1.6 × 1.6 mm package; no exposed drain pad. | Limited to ≤5 A continuous use due to higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 120 K/W). | Select when board space is more constrained than thermal budget and peak current <5 A. |
| Si2301DDS-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 105 mΩ (VGS = −2.5 V); higher threshold (−0.7 to −1.3 V); SOT-23 package. | Requires stronger gate drive; unsuitable for high-current DC-DC stages but adequate for low-power load switching. | Select only for <1 A applications where cost is prioritized over efficiency and thermal performance. |
Compared with DMG1012UVT-7 and Si2301DDS-T1-GE3, PMPB15XP offers superior thermal performance via its exposed drain pad and lower RDS(on), making it the preferred choice for ≥8 A portable power rails where efficiency and reliability under sustained load are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15XP at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15XP is −5.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values) under conditions VGS = −4.5 V and device mounted on an FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad. This derating reflects thermal limitations rather than electrical failure thresholds.
Does PMPB15XP require a gate resistor for stable switching in DC-DC applications?
A gate resistor is recommended to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation, especially given its 67–100 nC total gate charge and 530 pF Crss. A 6 Ω external resistor is used in the datasheet's fall time test condition (VDS = −6 V, ID = −8.2 A), confirming its effectiveness in damping ringing during turn-off.
Can PMPB15XP be used in automotive applications?
No - PMPB15XP is not automotive-qualified. The datasheet explicitly states in Section 12.4 that "Unless this data sheet expressly states that this specific NXP Semiconductors product is automotive qualified, the product is not suitable for automotive use." It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-grade reliability testing.
How does the DFN2020MD-6 package improve thermal performance compared to standard SOT-23?
The DFN2020MD-6 package reduces thermal resistance from junction to solder point to 5–10 K/W, versus ~150 K/W for standard SOT-23, by integrating a large exposed drain pad directly connected to PCB copper. This allows >80 % of heat to dissipate through the pad rather than leads, enabling 1.7 W power dissipation on FR4 without heatsinks.
