Product details
Overview
PMV160UPVL from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for −20 V drain-source voltage, −1.2 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 170–210 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V, used as a high-side load switch in low-voltage power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMV160UPVL datasheet, PMV160UPVL pinout, PMV160UPVL application, or PMV160UPVL equivalent, this device supports fast-switching relay drivers, high-speed line drivers, and compact high-side switching where low gate threshold (−0.45 to −0.95 V) and sub-200 mΩ on-resistance at 1.8 V drive are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching with typical total gate charge of 3.3–4 nC and rise/fall times of 26 ns/17 ns. Its gate-source threshold voltage range (−0.45 to −0.95 V) enables reliable turn-on from 1.8 V logic-level sources.
The device features a source-drain diode with −0.7 to −1.2 V forward voltage at −0.5 A and exhibits thermal resistance of 227–260 K/W (junction-to-ambient, with 6 cm² drain pad), supporting stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | −20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V rail or lower systems |
| ID (continuous) | −1.2 A at Tamb = 25 °C - Supports moderate-power load switching without heatsinking |
| RDS(on) | 170–210 mΩ at VGS = −4.5 V - Enables <120 mW conduction loss at 1 A |
| VGS(th) | −0.45 to −0.95 V - Ensures full enhancement with 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO |
| QG(tot) | 3.3–4 nC - Allows nanosecond-scale switching with low gate-drive power |
| Ciss | 365 pF - Limits capacitive loading on driving logic while maintaining EMI control |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Compatible with industrial ambient environments without derating |

Applications
| Relay Driver | High-Speed Line Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving electromagnetic relays in PLC I/O modules with 3.3 V or 1.8 V microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling relay coil current path; operates in static on/off mode with <10 µs transition. Use Value: Low VGS(th) eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry; 170 mΩ RDS(on) limits coil power dissipation to <200 mW at 1.2 A. |
Use Scenario: Transmitting TTL/CMOS signals across noisy industrial backplanes with controlled edge rates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active pull-up switch enabling bidirectional or open-drain signaling with fast edge control. Use Value: 26 ns rise time meets 10 Mbps RS-485 driver timing budgets; low Ciss minimizes signal distortion. |
| High-Side Load Switch | Switching Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Power gating individual subsystems (e.g., sensor rails, display backlight) in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled high-side power switch with inrush limiting via gate resistor; no body-diode reverse conduction path. Use Value: −0.7 V VSD forward drop prevents backfeed during hot-swap; 150 °C Tj rating supports sealed enclosure thermal design. |
Use Scenario: Building discrete synchronous rectifier or OR-ing diode circuits in low-voltage DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional power path controller replacing Schottky diodes to reduce forward loss. Use Value: 210 mΩ max RDS(on) cuts conduction loss by >60% vs 0.3 V Schottky at 1 A; QGD = 0.5 nC minimizes shoot-through risk. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2011UFD-7 | −20 V, −2.2 A, 110 mΩ @ −4.5 V; WDFN-6 package; higher current, smaller footprint | Requires PCB redesign for 2×2 mm WDFN; better for space-constrained 2 A loads | Select when board area is constrained and ≥2 A capability is needed; not drop-in due to package and pinout change |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | −20 V, −2.4 A, 125 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SOT23; higher ID but wider VGS(th) range (−0.4 to −1.3 V) | Less predictable 1.8 V turn-on; may require gate pull-up for margin in low-VGS cases | Prefer when higher current is primary requirement and gate drive margin allows for wider threshold spread |
Compared with PMV160UPVL, DMN2011UFD-7 delivers 83% higher current in half the footprint but requires layout revision, while SI2301DS-T1-BE3 offers greater current headroom at the cost of less deterministic 1.8 V turn-on behavior-making PMV160UPVL optimal for guaranteed low-voltage switching in legacy SOT23 designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMV160UPVL at 100 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is −0.8 A at Tamb = 100 °C with standard FR4 PCB mounting (single-sided copper, tin-plated, no extended drain pad). This derating reflects thermal resistance limitations and ensures safe junction temperature below 150 °C under steady-state conditions.
Can PMV160UPVL be driven directly from a 1.8 V GPIO without a level shifter?
Yes-its gate-source threshold voltage range of −0.45 to −0.95 V guarantees enhancement and stable RDS(on) performance at VGS = −1.8 V, confirmed by datasheet characterization at VGS = −1.8 V (RDS(on) = 280–380 mΩ at −0.5 A).
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation at DC operation with 6 cm² drain pad?
At DC and Tsp = 25 °C with 6 cm² drain pad, the SOA limit is defined by Ptot = 2170 mW, corresponding to −2.1 A at −10 V VDS. This exceeds the −1.2 A rated current, confirming robust DC capability under optimized thermal layout.
Does PMV160UPVL include integrated ESD protection?
No-PMV160UPVL has no built-in ESD protection diodes. Its gate oxide is rated for ±8 V absolute maximum VGS, and external HBM ESD protection (e.g., 1 kV minimum) must be implemented in system-level design per IEC 61000-4-2 requirements.
