Product details
Overview
PXN017-30QL from Nexperia is a 30 V, N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in MLPAK33 (SOT8002-1) package, designed for low-side switching in power conversion and battery management. It delivers RDS(on) = 14.8 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 7.9 A, 25 °C; QG(tot) = 2.5–3.8 nC; and supports logic-level drive down to 4.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the PXN017-30QL datasheet, PXN017-30QL pinout, PXN017-30QL application, or PXN017-30QL equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low gate charge for high-frequency DC/DC efficiency, soft-recovery diode behavior for EMI control, thermal performance on FR4 with 6 cm² drain pad, and validated 8-terminal MLPAK33 layout compatibility.
Technical Context
This device uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(on) and minimized QG/QGD, enabling high-efficiency operation in synchronous buck converters and load switches. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.2 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic drivers.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits trr = 15 ns and Qr = 6 nC, supporting soft-recovery operation critical for reducing voltage spikes and ringing in hard-switched topologies. Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 8.3–11.5 K/W enables robust power handling when soldered to a 6 cm² copper drain pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V nominal bus systems and transient overvoltage margins. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 14.8–17.4 mΩ - Enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 7.9 A continuous current on FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad. |
| QG(tot) | 2.5–3.8 nC - Reduces gate driver power loss and enables >1 MHz switching in compact DC/DC designs. |
| tr/tf | 8 ns / 3 ns - Fast edge rates minimize transition losses while maintaining low EMI via soft recovery characteristics. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.2 V - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting circuitry. |
| ID (cont) | 7.9 A @ Tamb = 25 °C - Sustained current capability suitable for portable battery protection and POL load switches. |
| EAS | 15 mJ - Avalanche energy rating supports unclamped inductive switching in relay drivers and motor gate control. |
Pinout & Package
MLPAK33 (SOT8002-1) is a thermally enhanced 8-terminal surface-mount package measuring 3.3 × 3.3 × 0.8 mm, featuring mini leads, 0.65 mm pitch, and exposed drain terminals optimized for PCB copper area thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source connections reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt switching. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with RG ≈ 3 Ω - enables stable gate drive without external series resistance in most 5 V logic applications. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Four dedicated drain terminals maximize thermal path to PCB copper; all tied internally to die drain metallization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate boosters in 3.3 V/5 V MCU-controlled load switches. |
| Ultra-low QG and QGD | QG(tot) = 2.5–3.8 nC, QGD = 0.7 nC - minimizes switching losses and improves efficiency above 500 kHz in buck regulators. |
| Soft-recovery body diode | trr = 15 ns, Qr = 6 nC - suppresses voltage overshoot and ringing during freewheeling, easing EMI filter design. |
| Thermal-enhanced MLPAK33 | Rth(j-sp) = 8.3–11.5 K/W - delivers 10.9 W Ptot with 6 cm² drain pad, outperforming SO-8 and Power-SO8 in footprint-constrained layouts. |
Applications
| DC/DC Buck Converter | Battery Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 10 V (lower), but QG = 12.5 nC (higher); TO-263 package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass). | Better conduction loss at high current, but slower switching and less suitable for >500 kHz or space-constrained layouts. | Prefer for high-current, low-frequency applications where thermal mass aids reliability; avoid for compact high-frequency DC/DC. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 10.5 mΩ @ 10 V; QG = 5.2 nC; SO-8 package with higher Rth(j-a) (~60 K/W). | Lower RDS(on) improves conduction loss, but higher QG and inferior thermal resistance limit high-frequency efficiency. | Acceptable for medium-frequency (<300 kHz) load switching; not recommended where MLPAK33's thermal advantage or QG reduction is critical. |
Compared with BSC014N04LS6 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, PXN017-30QL uniquely balances ultra-low QG, logic-level compatibility, and MLPAK33's superior thermal resistance-making it optimal for compact, high-frequency, thermally constrained 3.3–5 V control-driven power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PXN017-30QL at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 5 A at Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on an FR4 PCB having a 6 cm² drain pad. This value is derived from the normalized current derating curve (Figure 2) and reflects thermal limits under sustained operation-not pulse or transient conditions.
Does PXN017-30QL have a built-in body diode, and what are its key recovery characteristics?
Yes, it integrates a source-drain body diode with VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at IS = 1.6 A and Tj = 25 °C. Its reverse recovery time trr is 15 ns, recovered charge Qr is 6 nC, and soft-recovery behavior reduces voltage ringing-critical for EMI-sensitive DC/DC designs.
Can PXN017-30QL be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without a gate driver?
Yes. With VGS(th) = 1.2–2.2 V and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 23.1 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, the device achieves full enhancement using standard 3.3 V logic. Gate resistance is ~3 Ω, so no external series resistor is needed for stability in typical load-switch applications.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance of the MLPAK33 package?
A 6 cm² copper area connected to all four drain terminals (pins 5–8) is required to achieve the specified Rth(j-sp) = 8.3–11.5 K/W and Ptot = 10.9 W. The footprint must follow Nexperia's reflow stencil guidelines (0.1 mm thickness, 0.50 mm solder paste openings) per Figure 20 in the datasheet.
