Product details
Overview
PMR280UN from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode TrenchMOS FET in SOT416 (SC-75) package, designed for low-voltage switching in space-constrained portable electronics. It delivers 280 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 0.2 A, supports 20 V VDS, and features a low 0.7 V typical gate threshold voltage for efficient 1.8 V–2.5 V logic-level drive.
For engineers reviewing the PMR280UN datasheet, PMR280UN pinout, PMR280UN application, or PMR280UN equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (235 K/W), dynamic gate charge (0.89 nC), safe operating area limits, and real-world use context for battery-powered load switching and driver circuits.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve ultra-low on-resistance in a footprint 63% smaller than SOT23. Its 3-pin SC-75 package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining robust thermal performance up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The PMR280UN operates as a single N-channel power switch with fully specified static (VGS(th), RDS(on), V(BR)DSS) and dynamic (QG(tot), Ciss, td(on)) characteristics across -55 °C to +150 °C. It includes a built-in source-drain diode with 0.83 V forward voltage at 0.3 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V maximum - supports operation in 12 V and lower battery systems without breakdown risk |
| RDS(on) | 280 mΩ typ @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 0.2 A - minimizes conduction loss in portable DC-DC and load-switching paths |
| VGS(th) | 0.7 V typ @ ID = 0.25 mA - enables reliable turn-on with 1.8 V microcontroller GPIOs |
| ID | 0.98 A max @ Tsp = 25 °C - suitable for sub-1 A loads such as LED drivers and sensor biasing |
| QG(tot) | 0.89 nC typ - ensures fast, low-energy switching with minimal gate drive power |
| Rth(j-sp) | 235 K/W - defines thermal bottleneck between die and PCB solder point under continuous operation |
| Ciss | 45 pF typ @ VDS = 20 V - impacts high-frequency gate drive stability and EMI behavior |
Pinout & Package
SOT416 (SC-75) is a 3-pin ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.75 mm × 0.95 mm × 0.9 mm, optimized for high-volume portable assembly and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004K-7 | RDS(on) = 200 mΩ @ 4.5 V (lower), but larger SOT-23 package and higher QG (1.4 nC) | Better conduction efficiency but requires more PCB area and stronger gate drive | Choose when lower RDS(on) outweighs size constraints and gate drive capability permits |
| AO3400A | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ @ 10 V but only 200 mΩ @ 2.5 V; VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V (higher and wider spread) | Less suitable for 1.8 V logic drive; better for 3.3 V+ systems with margin for threshold variation | Prefer when operating from ≥3.3 V rails and tighter thermal budget allows higher RDS(on) |
Compared with DMN2004K-7 and AO3400A, the PMR280UN uniquely balances ultra-small SC-75 footprint, 1.8 V logic compatibility, and 280 mΩ RDS(on) - making it optimal for space- and voltage-constrained portable designs where gate drive strength is limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for PMR280UN at 100 °C solder point temperature?
The PMR280UN supports 0.62 A continuous drain current at Tsp = 100 °C and VGS = 4.5 V, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). This derated value reflects thermal limitations of the SC-75 package and must be used in thermal design calculations for sustained operation above ambient temperature.
Does PMR280UN have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, the PMR280UN includes an integrated source-drain body diode. Its forward voltage is 0.83 V typical at IS = 0.3 A and Tj = 25 °C, as listed in Table 7 (Characteristics). This diode supports freewheeling and reverse-polarity protection without external components.
Can PMR280UN be driven directly by a 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting?
Yes - the PMR280UN has a typical VGS(th) of 0.7 V and guaranteed maximum of 1.0 V at 25 °C, enabling full enhancement with 1.8 V logic. At 1.8 V VGS, RDS(on) is 460–660 mΩ (Table 7), sufficient for low-current switching applications like sensor enable/disable.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for PMR280UN, and why does it matter?
The PMR280UN has Rth(j-sp) = 235 K/W (Table 6), defining the dominant thermal path from die to PCB copper. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under power dissipation and must be used - not Rth(j-a) - in compact, high-density layouts where airflow is negligible.
Is PMR280UN qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No - the PMR280UN is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states it is "non-automotive qualified" and unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive environments unless separately validated by the customer. Its specification targets consumer and portable industrial applications only.
