Product details
Overview
PMPB29XPEAX from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, designed for high-side load switching and relay driving in automotive and industrial power control circuits. It features −20 V drain-source voltage rating, 28 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −5 A, AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable flanks for optical solder inspection, and ESD protection >2 kV HBM.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB29XPEAX datasheet, PMPB29XPEAX pinout, PMPB29XPEAX application, or PMPB29XPEAX equivalent, key selection criteria include low-threshold gate drive compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers, thermal performance on FR4 PCBs with 6 cm² drain pad, and suitability for space-constrained high-reliability DC load switching.
Technical Context
This device operates as a normally-off P-channel switch requiring negative gate-to-source bias to conduct. Its trench MOSFET architecture enables low RDS(on) and fast switching (td(on) = 12 ns, tf = 46 ns), while the integrated source-drain diode supports bidirectional current handling in flyback or reverse-polarity protection configurations.
The DFN2020MD-6 package provides enhanced thermal performance via exposed drain terminals (pins 1, 2, 5, 6, 7) and side-wettable flanks-enabling automated optical inspection of solder joints. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 67 K/W, supporting continuous ID up to −3.2 A at 100 °C ambient when mounted on standard FR4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V automotive rail and industrial 24 V DC systems |
| RDS(on) | 28 mΩ (typ) at VGS = −4.5 V - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 5 A load current |
| ID | −5 A (continuous, 25 °C) - Supports medium-power loads such as solenoids, LED arrays, and sensor power rails |
| VGS(th) | −0.7 V (typ) - Ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V logic-level gate drivers |
| QG(tot) | 30 nC (typ) - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and switching losses in PWM applications |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Rated for under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures |
| ESD HBM | >2000 V - Robust handling during SMT assembly and board-level testing without additional protection |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.65 mm profile, thermally enhanced leadless package with five drain terminals and one source terminal exposed on the bottom side, plus gate and source connections on the top surface. Side-wettable flanks enable AOI-compatible solder joint verification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Five parallel drain terminals connected internally - provide low-inductance, high-current path and enhanced thermal conduction to PCB copper |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring negative VGS; low 5.3 Ω gate resistance minimizes ringing and simplifies RC snubber design |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two dedicated source terminals - reduce source inductance and improve stability in high-di/dt switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low threshold voltage | VGS(th) = −0.7 V (typ) - Enables direct drive from 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry |
| Side-wettable flanks | Exposed copper on package edges - allows automated optical inspection of solder fillet integrity for IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 compliance |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Stress-tested per automotive discrete semiconductor standard - validated for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock in vehicle ECUs |
| Trench MOSFET technology | 28 mΩ RDS(on) at −4.5 V - Delivers higher current density and lower conduction loss than planar P-channel alternatives |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = −0.95 V (typ) at −1.8 A - Provides reverse-polarity protection and freewheeling path in inductive load circuits |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2011UFD-7 | Higher RDS(on) (45 mΩ typ at −4.5 V); same DFN2020MD-6 footprint but no AEC-Q101 rating | Suitable for non-automotive consumer electronics only; lacks automotive qualification and side-wettable flanks | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and AOI requirements |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | Lower VDS (−20 V same), but higher RDS(on) (115 mΩ typ); SOT-23 package with inferior thermal performance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 250 K/W) | Limited to ≤1 A continuous loads; unsuitable for high-duty-cycle or thermally constrained layouts | Choose only for legacy SOT-23 board reuse where space permits higher conduction loss |
Compared with DMN2011UFD-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, PMPB29XPEAX delivers superior thermal capability (67 K/W vs. >200 K/W), automotive qualification, and optical inspectability-making it the preferred choice for new designs targeting reliability, miniaturization, and production testability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for PMPB29XPEAX is −3.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values) of the datasheet. This value assumes mounting on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and a 6 cm² drain pad. Derating follows the normalized current curve in Figure 2, where conduction capability drops to ~65 % of the 25 °C rating.
Does PMPB29XPEAX require a gate resistor for stable switching?
A gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching. With RG = 6 Ω (per Figure 15 test condition), turn-off delay is 91 ns and fall time is 46 ns. Lower resistance increases switching speed but may cause overshoot; typical design uses 10–47 Ω for balance between EMI and efficiency in 10–100 kHz PWM applications.
Can PMPB29XPEAX be used in parallel for higher current handling?
Parallel operation is not recommended due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on)-which improves current sharing-but mismatched threshold voltages and layout asymmetry can cause uneven current distribution. For >5 A loads, use a single higher-rated device or verify matching via VGS(th) binning and symmetric PCB routing with Kelvin source connections.
Is the source-drain diode suitable for freewheeling inductive loads?
Yes-the integrated body diode has trr = 33 ns and Qr = 21 nC (Table 7), making it suitable for moderate-speed freewheeling in relay coils and solenoids. However, for high-frequency (>100 kHz) or high-energy inductive loads, an external Schottky diode is advised to reduce recovery losses and prevent cross-conduction in half-bridge configurations.
