Nexperia USA Inc. PMPB215ENEA/FX

Overview

PMPB215ENEA from Nexperia is a single N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, rated for 80 V drain-source voltage, 2.8 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 175–230 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V and I_D = 1.9 A. It serves as a low-side load switch or high-speed line driver in automotive and industrial power control circuits.

For engineers reviewing the PMPB215ENEA datasheet, PMPB215ENEA pinout, PMPB215ENEA application, or PMPB215ENEA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm leadless package with exposed drain pad, thermal resistance of 33–38 K/W (junction-to-solder point), and gate charge profile optimized for fast switching in relay and load-switching topologies.

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and stable threshold voltage (1.3–2.7 V) across temperature. Its six-terminal DFN2020MD-6 layout features five drain terminals and one source terminal on each side, enabling high-current capability and efficient heat dissipation via the exposed drain pad.

The device supports gate drive voltages from −20 V to +20 V, exhibits 4.8–7.2 nC total gate charge, and delivers 7 S forward transconductance at V_DS = 10 V and I_D = 1.9 A. Its safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 7.6 A peak drain current (10 µs pulse) and 80 V V_DS, with normalized power derating down to 0% at 150 °C junction temperature.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB215ENEA at 100 °C ambient temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is 1.2 A at T_amb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). This derating reflects thermal constraints of the DFN2020MD-6 package on standard FR4 PCBs and must be verified against actual board layout and airflow conditions.

Does PMPB215ENEA have integrated ESD protection, and what is its HBM rating?

Yes, PMPB215ENEA is rated for 2000 V HBM (Human Body Model) ESD per JESD22-A114, as stated in Table 5. This level meets AEC-Q101 requirements for discrete semiconductors and supports handling in standard manufacturing environments without additional external protection.

Can PMPB215ENEA be used in synchronous rectification applications?

Yes-it is suitable for synchronous rectification in buck converters up to 500 kHz, with 4.8–7.2 nC total gate charge and 3 ns fall time enabling efficient switching. Its 80 V V_DS rating supports secondary-side operation in 24 V and 48 V output designs with sufficient voltage margin.

What is the recommended PCB footprint for thermal performance?

The recommended footprint uses a 6 cm² exposed drain pad on single-sided FR4 copper, tin-plated, per Figure 19 and Table 6 notes. This achieves R_th(j-sp) = 4–8 K/W and supports up to 15.6 W total power dissipation-critical for maintaining T_j < 150 °C in sealed enclosures.
