Product details

Overview

PMV27UPEAR from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for −20 V V_DS, 27 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = −4.5 V and I_D = −4.5 A, with AEC-Q101 qualification and 2 kV HBM ESD protection - deployed as a high-side loadswitch in automotive LED driver modules.

For engineers reviewing the PMV27UPEAR datasheet, PMV27UPEAR pinout, PMV27UPEAR application, or PMV27UPEAR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-threshold gate drive compatibility (V_GS(th) = −0.45 to −0.95 V), fast switching (t_d(on) = 11 ns, t_f = 39 ns), thermal performance on FR4 (R_th(j-a) = 222 K/W), and automotive-grade reliability under junction temperatures up to 150 °C.

Technical Context

This device implements a trench-gate P-channel MOSFET architecture optimized for low-voltage DC power control. Its −0.7 V typical V_SD body diode forward voltage and 14.7–22.1 nC total gate charge enable efficient synchronous or freewheeling operation in compact loadswitch and LED current-path configurations.

The MOSFET operates with a negative gate-source threshold (−0.7 V typ) and exhibits strong transconductance (15 S typ) at −10 V V_DS, supporting stable turn-on even with weak pull-up gate drivers. Thermal derating follows a defined curve: continuous drain current drops to −2.8 A at T_amb = 100 °C and R_DS(on) increases to 40–48 mΩ at T_j = 150 °C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	−20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V automotive rail switching without avalanche stress
R_DS(on)	27 mΩ (typ) at V_GS = −4.5 V, I_D = −4.5 A, T_j = 25 °C - Enables ≤110 mW conduction loss at 4.5 A

AEC-Q101	Qualified - Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22-A108

Pinout & Package

Package: SOT23 (TO-236AB), plastic surface-mounted, 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm body. Mounting requires tin-plated FR4 PCB with 6 cm² copper pad on drain terminal for thermal performance.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	G (Gate)	Control input; accepts −0.45 to −0.95 V threshold turn-on; requires external pull-up for high-side configuration
2	S (Source)	Reference node; tied to system V_BAT in high-side switch; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery
3	D (Drain)	Switched output; connected to load (e.g., LED anode); thermally coupled to PCB copper for 980 mW dissipation

Key Features

Feature	Design Value

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel loadswitch applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
DMN2075UFA-7	R_DS(on) = 35 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SOT-23 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification	Limited to industrial/commercial use; lacks automotive temperature and reliability validation	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements
SI2301DS-T1-BE3	R_DS(on) = 90 mΩ @ −4.5 V; higher threshold (−1.0 to −3.0 V); same SOT-23 footprint	Requires stronger gate drive; unsuitable for 3.3 V logic interfaces without level shift	Choose only if existing layout uses SI2301 footprint and gate drive supports −2.5 V minimum

Compared with DMN2075UFA-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, PMV27UPEAR delivers superior conduction efficiency (27 vs. 35/90 mΩ), guaranteed automotive qualification, and lowest gate threshold - making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, safety-critical 12 V loadswitching where thermal margin and long-term reliability are prioritized.

FAQ

Is PMV27UPEAR pin-compatible with standard SOT23 P-MOSFETs like SI2301?

Yes - PMV27UPEAR uses the industry-standard SOT23 (TO-236AB) package with identical 1.9 mm lead pitch and 2.9 × 1.3 mm outline. Pin 1 is Gate, Pin 2 is Source, Pin 3 is Drain - matching JEDEC MO-203AA and common SOT23 layouts. However, electrical behavior differs significantly due to lower R_DS(on) and V_GS(th), so gate drive and thermal design must be revalidated.

What is the maximum continuous drain current at 85 °C ambient temperature?

At T_amb = 85 °C, the maximum continuous drain current is approximately −3.4 A. This is derived from the normalized current derating curve (Figure 2), where I_der = 75 % at 85 °C, applied to the 25 °C rating of −4.5 A. Derating assumes FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad and free-air convection.

Does PMV27UPEAR include integrated gate protection?

No - PMV27UPEAR does not integrate gate Zener clamping or series resistance. It relies on external gate resistors (recommended ≤10 Ω) and proper PCB layout to limit dv/dt-induced shoot-through. The 2 kV HBM ESD rating applies to human-body model testing only and does not imply robustness against system-level transients.

Can PMV27UPEAR be used in linear regulation mode?

No - PMV27UPEAR is not characterized or qualified for linear (ohmic) operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph (Figure 3) shows limited DC capability at low V_DS, and thermal resistance (222 K/W) makes sustained linear bias impractical. It is designed exclusively for switching applications with defined duty cycles and pulse widths.
