Product details

Overview

PMPB15XPAX from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, designed for high-side load switching and relay driving in automotive and industrial power control circuits. It delivers −8.2 A continuous drain current at V_GS = −4.5 V, 25 °C, with R_DS(on) of 15 mΩ (typ), −12 V V_DS rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification.

For engineers reviewing the PMPB15XPAX datasheet, PMPB15XPAX pinout, PMPB15XPAX application, or PMPB15XPAX equivalent, this device supports compact, thermally efficient high-side switching where low threshold voltage (−0.7 V typ), side-wettable flanks for solder inspection, and ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm footprint are critical selection criteria.

Technical Context

This MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low R_DS(on) and fast switching (t_d(on) = 18 ns, t_f = 57 ns) with gate charge Q_G(tot) = 67 nC (typ). Its −0.7 V typical V_GS(th) enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V–3.3 V logic in low-voltage control systems.

The integrated source-drain diode has V_SD = −0.6 V (typ) at −1.9 A and t_rr = 42 ns, supporting moderate-speed freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal resistance R_th(j-sp) = 67 K/W (typ) on FR4 with 6 cm² drain pad ensures stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	−12 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V automotive rail applications
R_DS(on)	15 mΩ (typ) at V_GS = −4.5 V, I_D = −8.2 A - Enables <130 mW conduction loss at full rated current
V_GS(th)	−0.7 V (typ) - Ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V microcontroller GPIO
I_D (cont)	−8.2 A at T_amb = 25 °C - Supports robust load switching without external heatsink on standard PCB
Q_G(tot)	67 nC (typ) - Low gate drive energy reduces driver IC stress and switching losses
t_f	57 ns - Fast fall time minimizes overlap loss in PWM-controlled high-side switches
E_AS	23.9 mJ - Avalanche ruggedness allows safe operation under inductive load turn-off transients

Pinout & Package

DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package measuring 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.65 mm with side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder inspection. The exposed drain paddle occupies pins 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7; gate and source connect via top-side terminals.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 2, 5, 6, 7	Drain (D)	Common high-current output node; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper paddle
3	Gate (G)	Control input; requires −4.5 V to fully enhance; low C_iss = 2875 pF eases drive design
4, 8	Source (S)	Reference node for gate drive; connects to system ground or load return path

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
AEC-Q101 qualified	Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements
Side-wettable flanks	Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray
Trench MOSFET architecture	Delivers 30% lower R_DS(on) vs. planar P-channel equivalents at same die size
Ultra-thin 0.65 mm profile	Reduces board stack height in space-constrained modules like ECU power stages
Low V_GS(th)	−0.7 V typical enables direct drive from low-voltage MCUs without level-shifting

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
DMG1012T	R_DS(on) = 22 mΩ (typ) at −4.5 V; larger 2 × 2 × 0.75 mm SO-8 package	Higher thermal resistance (R_th(j-a) ≈ 120 K/W); less suitable for high-density layouts	Preferred when legacy SO-8 footprint compatibility is required over size or thermal performance
SI2301DDS	V_GS(th) = −1.0 V (min); R_DS(on) = 115 mΩ (typ) at −2.5 V; no AEC-Q101 qualification	Limited to consumer-grade applications; insufficient for automotive ambient temperature range	Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where −12 V rating and low leakage are sufficient

Compared with DMG1012T and SI2301DDS, PMPB15XPAX offers superior thermal performance (67 K/W vs. >100 K/W), tighter V_GS(th) distribution for predictable low-voltage turn-on, and automotive qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 12 V power gating.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15XPAX at 100 °C ambient temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is −5.2 A at T_amb = 100 °C with standard FR4 mounting (6 cm² drain pad). This derating reflects thermal limits-not electrical failure-and aligns with the normalized current curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet, where I_der drops to ~63% of the 25 °C value.

Does PMPB15XPAX include an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?

Yes, it features an intrinsic source-drain diode with V_SD = −0.6 V (typ) at −1.9 A and reverse recovery time t_rr = 42 ns. The diode supports freewheeling in inductive loads but is not optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification due to Q_r = 35 nC and softness factor <1.

Can PMPB15XPAX be used in a floating-gate high-side configuration with bootstrap charging?

No-PMPB15XPAX is a P-channel device intended for grounded-source (high-side) operation with referenced gate drive. Bootstrap circuits require N-channel high-side switches; using this P-channel part in such topology would invert logic and prevent proper enhancement without negative gate bias generation.

Is the DFN2020MD-6 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?

Yes-the package is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. The recommended footprint (Figure 19) specifies 0.33 mm stencil aperture and 0.25 mm solder paste deposit height for reliable side-wettable flank formation.
