Product details
Overview
PMPB15XPZ from NXP Semiconductors is a single P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) leadless ultra-thin SMD package, rated for −12 V drain-source voltage, 15 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −8.2 A, 1.7 W total power dissipation, and featuring 1.5 kV HBM ESD protection. It serves as a high-efficiency charging switch or load switch in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB15XPZ datasheet, PMPB15XPZ pinout, PMPB15XPZ application, or PMPB15XPZ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, validated thermal performance on FR4 PCB, confirmed gate charge (67–100 nC), junction temperature limits (−55 °C to 150 °C), and real-world use cases in DC-DC power management and hard disk drive power sequencing.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate charge. Its symmetrical drain-terminal layout (Pins 1,2,5,6,7 all connected to drain) enables high-current conduction and efficient heat spreading via the exposed drain pad.
The device operates with a gate threshold voltage of −0.47 V to −0.9 V (typ. −0.68 V), supports gate drive down to −1.8 V, and maintains RDS(on) ≤ 33 mΩ even at VGS = −1.8 V and ID = −3.9 A - enabling robust operation in low-voltage control logic environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −12 V maximum - defines safe blocking capability in 12 V rail applications like USB PD input stages or battery isolation. |
| RDS(on) | 15 mΩ typ. at VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −8.2 A - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 8 A, critical for thermal budget in compact portable designs. |
| ID | −11.8 A max (t ≤ 5 s) - supports short-duration peak loads such as inrush current limiting during hot-plug events. |
| QG(tot) | 67–100 nC - determines gate driver strength requirement; compatible with low-power microcontroller GPIOs when paired with appropriate series resistance. |
| Rth(j-a) | 67–74 K/W on 6 cm² drain pad - quantifies thermal bottleneck on standard FR4; informs heatsinking strategy for sustained 1.7 W operation. |
| VGS(th) | −0.68 V typ. - ensures reliable turn-on with common 1.8 V or 3.3 V logic-level control signals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Ciss | 2875 pF - impacts switching speed and EMI behavior; requires careful gate loop layout to minimize ringing in high-frequency DC-DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.65 mm leadless thermally enhanced plastic package with an exposed drain pad on the bottom side for direct PCB thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | All five pins are internally bonded to the drain node and the exposed thermal pad - provides parallel current paths and low-inductance thermal path to PCB copper. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate terminal; requires clean, low-impedance routing to avoid oscillation; gate charge QG = 67–100 nC dictates RC time constant design. |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two dedicated source terminals - reduce source inductance and improve stability in high-di/dt switching; referenced to system ground or battery negative. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Exposed drain pad | Enables direct thermal conduction to 6 cm² PCB copper area, reducing Rth(j-a) by >50% vs. standard DFN packages. |
| Tin-plated side pads | Support automated optical solder inspection (AOI) without X-ray - critical for high-yield manufacturing of ultra-thin portable PCBs. |
| 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external ESD protection diodes in handheld device charging ports and USB interface power switches. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 15 mΩ RDS(on) in 2×2 mm footprint - achieves same on-resistance as larger SO-8 devices while saving >75% board area. |
| Ultra-thin 0.65 mm profile | Meets Z-height constraints in slim smartphones, tablets, and ultrabooks where component thickness directly impacts mechanical stack-up. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG1012T | RDS(on) = 20 mΩ @ −4.5 V; 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm DFN but no exposed drain pad; Rth(j-a) = 125 K/W. | Lacks thermal pad - unsuitable for sustained >1 A loads without additional copper; lower ESD rating (800 V HBM). | Prefer PMPB15XPZ where thermal performance or ESD robustness is critical; DMG1012T acceptable only in low-duty-cycle, low-power roles. |
| Si2301DDS | RDS(on) = 115 mΩ @ −2.5 V; smaller 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint; QG = 4.5 nC; no specified HBM rating. | Higher on-resistance demands larger die area for same current - not viable for >2 A continuous loads; lacks thermal pad and ESD validation. | Select Si2301DDS only for space-constrained, low-current (<1 A), non-ESD-exposed functions; PMPB15XPZ remains superior for portable power integrity. |
Compared with DMG1012T and Si2301DDS, PMPB15XPZ uniquely combines ultra-low RDS(on), integrated thermal pad, and certified 1.5 kV ESD - making it the only choice among the three for high-reliability, high-current portable power switching where board area, thermal headroom, and transient immunity are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB15XPZ at 100 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is −5.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C with VGS = −4.5 V, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values). This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by the 67–74 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a standard FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad.
Can PMPB15XPZ be driven directly by a 1.8 V GPIO without level shifting?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage is −0.47 V to −0.9 V (typ. −0.68 V), and it delivers RDS(on) ≤ 20 mΩ at VGS = −1.8 V per Table 7. This ensures full enhancement and low conduction loss with 1.8 V logic, eliminating external level shifters in portable SoC interfaces.
How does the DFN2020MD-6 package improve thermal performance over standard DFN2020-6?
DFN2020MD-6 features an enlarged exposed drain pad covering the entire bottom surface, whereas standard DFN2020-6 has a smaller thermal pad. This design reduces Rth(j-sp) to 5–10 K/W and Rth(j-a) to 67–74 K/W - a >40% improvement - enabling 1.7 W dissipation on FR4 without added heatsinks.
Is PMPB15XPZ qualified for automotive applications?
No - the datasheet explicitly states this is a non-automotive qualified product. It is neither tested nor warranted for AEC-Q101 stress requirements, temperature cycling, or automotive-grade reliability. Use only in industrial, computing, or consumer portable applications per NXP's legal disclaimers.
