Product details
Overview
PMV48XP/ZLR 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 DC/DC and battery management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMV48XP/ZLR datasheet, PMV48XP/ZLR pinout, PMV48XP/ZLR application, or PMV48XP/ZLR equivalent, this device supports fast-switching high-side configurations requiring low gate charge (8.5 nC), sub-1.25 V gate threshold, and robust thermal performance up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching, with gate threshold voltage centered at −1.0 V (−0.75 to −1.25 V range) enabling direct drive from 3.3 V logic. Its −20 V VDS rating and −14 A peak drain current support transient-heavy loads in portable power rails.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with −0.82 V forward voltage at −2.4 A, and exhibits 1000 pF input capacitance and 90 pF reverse transfer capacitance-key parameters governing gate drive strength and EMI behavior in high-frequency switching nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V rail or automotive 12 V systems with margin |
| ID (continuous) | −3.5 A at Tamb = 25 °C - Supports moderate-power loads like LED banks or sensor modules |
| RDS(on) | 48 mΩ typ. at VGS = −4.5 V - Enables <170 mW conduction loss at 2.4 A, critical for thermal budget in SOT23 |
| QG(tot) | 8.5 nC typ. - Allows clean 10–20 ns switching edges with standard 5–10 Ω gate drivers |
| VGS(th) | −1.0 V typ. (−0.75 to −1.25 V) - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting |
| td(off) | 61 ns typ. - Supports >5 MHz PWM operation in synchronous buck high-side switches |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Permits operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating below 100 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; compact 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm footprint optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal accepting logic-level voltage; requires ≤100 nA leakage current at −12 V bias |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to system ground or positive rail depending on high-/low-side topology |
| 3 (D) | Drain | Power output terminal; connected to load; thermally coupled to 6 cm² copper pad per datasheet layout guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level compatibility | Guaranteed turn-on at VGS = −2.5 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V MCUs without external driver stages |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 25% lower RDS(on) vs. planar P-channel equivalents in same SOT23 footprint, improving efficiency in battery-powered devices |
| Very fast switching | Combined td(on) + tr + td(off) + tf < 110 ns ensures minimal switching losses at 1–5 MHz frequencies |
| Low gate charge | 8.5 nC total gate charge reduces required gate driver current and eases PCB routing of gate traces |
| Integrated body diode | Forward voltage ≤ −1.2 V at −2.4 A enables freewheeling in inductive loads without external diode in many applications |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2053LFG-7 | −20 V, −4.2 A, 38 mΩ RDS(on), SOT23 package, but requires −2.5 V minimum VGS(th) | Better conduction loss at high current, but incompatible with 1.8 V logic; needs level-shifter for ultra-low-voltage MCUs | Select when higher current (>3.5 A) and lower RDS(on) outweigh gate drive simplicity |
| SI2301BDS-T1-BE3 | −20 V, −2.7 A, 115 mΩ RDS(on), same SOT23, VGS(th) = −0.7 V min | Lower gate threshold improves 1.8 V compatibility, but higher on-resistance increases thermal load above 1.5 A | Select for 1.8 V systems where gate drive margin is critical and current stays below 2 A |
Compared with DMN2053LFG-7 and SI2301BDS-T1-BE3, PMV48XP/ZLR uniquely balances −1.0 V VGS(th), 48 mΩ RDS(on), and 8.5 nC QG to deliver optimal trade-off between logic compatibility, conduction loss, and switching speed in space-constrained 3.3 V designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMV48XP/ZLR at 100 °C ambient?
The datasheet specifies −2.2 A continuous drain current at Tamb = 100 °C and VGS = −4.5 V, derived from thermal derating curves and RDS(on) increase with junction temperature. This value assumes standard FR4 PCB with single-sided 6 cm² drain pad per Figure 5 thermal guidelines.
Can PMV48XP/ZLR be used in a low-side switching configuration?
Yes, it can operate in low-side mode, but its P-channel structure requires gate voltage below source to turn on-making it less efficient than N-channel alternatives in that topology. The −1.0 V VGS(th) and 48 mΩ RDS(on) remain valid, though gate drive complexity increases due to negative voltage swing requirements.
Is the PMV48XP/ZLR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, PMV48XP/ZLR meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Nexperia's product compliance documentation (document ID: PMV48XP v.1, Rev. 1, December 2010), with lead-free solderability verified per J-STD-020.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation at DC operation with 25 °C ambient?
At DC and Tamb = 25 °C, the SOA is limited by 510 mW total power dissipation (Rth(j-a) = 245 K/W), corresponding to ~1.0 A continuous current at −20 V VDS. Derating begins immediately above 25 °C ambient per Figure 1's normalized power curve.
