Product details
Overview
PMV25ENEAR from Nexperia is a 30 V, N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, designed for low-side switching with RDS(on) = 17 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and ID = 5.5 A, AEC-Q101 qualified, and featuring ESD protection > 2 kV HBM - deployed in automotive relay drivers and high-speed line drivers.
For engineers reviewing the PMV25ENEAR datasheet, PMV25ENEAR pinout, PMV25ENEAR application, or PMV25ENEAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 1.5 V typical gate threshold voltage, fast 8 ns turn-on delay, 22–32 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, thermal resistance of 91 K/W (junction-to-solder point), and qualification for automotive ambient temperature range (−55 °C to 150 °C).
Technical Context
This discrete N-channel MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.0 V to 2.5 V at 250 µA, enabling reliable turn-on with 3.3 V logic-level signals.
The device supports continuous drain current up to 5.5 A at 25 °C ambient (FR4 PCB, 6 cm² drain pad), with peak avalanche energy of 19.5 mJ and total power dissipation up to 6.94 W at Tsp = 25 °C - optimized for compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 24 V automotive and industrial supply rails. |
| RDS(on) | 17 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 5.5 A - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 5 A, reducing thermal load in space-constrained designs. |
| VGS(th) | 1.5 V typ @ ID = 250 µA - ensures robust turn-on with standard 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| QG(tot) | 12.6 nC typ - supports fast switching (tr = 23 ns, tf = 30 ns) with moderate gate drive strength (e.g., 10 Ω series resistor). |
| Tj max | 150 °C maximum junction temperature - validated for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q101 stress testing. |
| ESD rating | 2000 V HBM - protects against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly and field operation. |
| ID (cont) | 5.5 A @ Tamb = 25 °C - delivers sufficient current for driving solenoids, LEDs, and small motors in compact SOT23 footprint. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body; single-sided FR4 PCB mounting with 6 cm² drain pad recommended for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - G | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≤20 V absolute max drive; low 8 Ω internal gate resistance minimizes ringing with standard PCB traces. |
| 2 - S | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; tied to system ground in low-side switch configurations. |
| 3 - D | Drain | High-current output terminal; electrically and thermally connected to large copper pour for heat dissipation and reduced RDS(on) drift. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VGS(th) | 1.5 V typical enables direct interface with 3.3 V logic without external level shifters or pull-up networks. |
| Fast switching | 8 ns turn-on delay + 23 ns rise time allows PWM operation beyond 1 MHz in digital load control applications. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and ESD stress - suitable for under-dash modules. |
| Thermal efficiency | 91 K/W Rth(j-sp) with 6 cm² drain pad enables 5.5 A continuous current without heatsink in ambient ≤70 °C. |
| Integrated ESD protection | 2 kV HBM rating eliminates need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD protection schemes. |
Applications
| Automotive Relay Driver | High-Speed Line Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V/24 V automotive electromagnetic relays in body control modules (BCM) and junction boxes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling relay coil current; handles inductive kickback via integrated body diode. Use Value: 30 V VDS rating safely clamps flyback voltage; 17 mΩ RDS(on) limits coil heating and improves energy efficiency over discrete alternatives. |
Use Scenario: Transmitting digital control signals across noisy automotive harnesses (e.g., LIN bus pre-driver, sensor excitation). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching buffer stage isolating MCU GPIO from cable capacitance and EMI. Use Value: 23 ns rise time and 30 ns fall time preserve signal edge integrity; low QG reduces driver loading and timing jitter. |
| Low-Side Load Switch | Switching Power Supply Sync Rectifier |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling 5–12 V power rails for infotainment peripherals and ADAS sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled power path switch with precise on/off timing and minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 1.5 V VGS(th) ensures full enhancement at 3.3 V enable signals; 22 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V supports efficient 3.3 V–5 V logic-compatible control. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters for automotive DC-DC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency replacement for Schottky diode in 12 V output stages operating at 200–500 kHz. Use Value: 17 mΩ RDS(on) cuts conduction losses by >50% vs. 400 mV Schottky; fast switching minimizes dead-time losses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-side switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LKQ-7 | 30 V, RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ 4.5 V, SOT23, AEC-Q101 - higher on-resistance at low gate drive. | Less suitable for 3.3 V logic-driven loads requiring sub-20 mΩ performance at VGS = 4.5 V. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal RDS(on) penalty and layout allows slightly higher thermal margin. |
| AO3400A | 30 V, RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 4.5 V, SOT23, non-automotive grade - no AEC-Q101 qualification or HBM > 2 kV. | Not approved for automotive under-hood use; limited to consumer or industrial applications with relaxed reliability requirements. | Choose only for non-automotive prototypes or cost-sensitive industrial controls where qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with DMN2004LKQ-7 and AO3400A, PMV25ENEAR delivers lower RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive and certified automotive reliability - making it optimal for safety-critical low-side switching where thermal headroom and long-term field stability are essential.

FAQ
Is PMV25ENEAR pin-compatible with other SOT23 N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes - PMV25ENEAR uses standard SOT23 (TO-236AB) pinout: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Source, Pin 3 = Drain. This matches industry-standard assignments for low-side N-channel MOSFETs like AO3400A and DMN2004LKQ-7, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse in most designs.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 100 °C with FR4 PCB mounting (standard footprint), PMV25ENEAR supports 3.5 A continuous drain current - derived from derating curves in Figure 2 of the datasheet and confirmed by its 1.19 W Ptot limit at that temperature.
Does PMV25ENEAR require external gate resistors for EMI control?
While not mandatory, a 10 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by parasitic inductance in PCB traces - especially in high-di/dt applications like relay driving. The device's 8 Ω internal gate resistance provides baseline damping but does not eliminate need for layout-aware termination.
Can PMV25ENEAR be used in linear (analog) regulation mode?
No - PMV25ENEAR is optimized for switching operation only. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve (Figure 3) shows limited linear region capability; sustained operation in the linear region risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and insufficient SOA margin above 10 V VDS.
