Product details
Overview
PMV48XPVL from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, designed for high-side load switching with −20 V drain-source voltage rating, −3.5 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 48 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V. It operates as a logic-level-compatible power switch in compact space-constrained DC/DC and battery management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMV48XPVL datasheet, PMV48XPVL pinout, PMV48XPVL application, or PMV48XPVL equivalent, this device supports fast-switching high-side control in portable electronics, relay drivers, and line drivers where low gate-threshold operation and thermal efficiency are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching speed. Its gate threshold voltage of −0.75 V to −1.25 V enables direct drive from 3.3 V logic, while its −20 V VDS rating supports 12 V rail applications with margin.
The device features a source-drain diode with −0.82 V forward voltage at −2.4 A and exhibits 8.5 nC total gate charge, enabling sub-100 ns turn-on/turn-off transitions under 6 Ω gate resistance. Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 117 K/W with optimized 6 cm² drain pad.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2053LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 52 mΩ at VGS = −4.5 V; SO-8 package; higher thermal mass | Better power dissipation in high-duty-cycle apps; larger footprint incompatible with ultra-compact layouts | Select when >500 mW continuous dissipation is required and board area permits SO-8 |
| SI2305DS-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ at VGS = −4.5 V; slightly higher VGS(th) (−1.0 to −2.5 V) | Less consistent turn-on below 2.8 V; may require gate resistor tuning for 3.3 V logic | Choose only if legacy qualification or dual-sourcing mandates Vishay's platform |
Compared with DMN2053LSD-13 and SI2305DS-T1-GE3, PMV48XPVL delivers the lowest RDS(on) in SOT23, fastest switching, and tightest VGS(th) distribution - making it optimal for space- and speed-critical high-side switches where thermal headroom is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMV48XPVL at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is −2.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C, per Table 5 limiting values. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated ambient; operation above this requires active cooling or reduced duty cycle.
Can PMV48XPVL be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without a level shifter?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage range of −0.75 V to −1.25 V ensures full enhancement at VGS = −3.3 V. The device draws negligible gate current, allowing direct connection to standard CMOS outputs with series gate resistor for EMI control.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for single-pulse operation at VDS = −10 V?
At VDS = −10 V, the peak drain current is limited to −14 A for single pulses ≤10 µs (Table 5). This corresponds to the IDM rating and is validated in Figure 3 SOA curve - exceeding this risks bond wire fusing or thermal runaway.
How does the RDS(on) change over temperature, and what is its value at 150 °C junction temperature?
RDS(on) increases with temperature: 70–80 mΩ at Tj = 150 °C (Table 7), approximately 1.6× its 25 °C value. Figure 11 shows normalized RDS(on) rising to ~1.65× at 150 °C - critical for worst-case conduction loss calculation in thermal design.
