Product details
Overview
UPA1725G-E1-A from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for DC-DC converter high-side switching in notebook computer power management. It features 21.0 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V / ID = 3.5 A, 2.5-V logic-level gate drive capability, and integrated gate-source ESD protection diode. Its Power SOP8 package supports surface-mount implementation in compact portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the UPA1725G-E1-A datasheet, UPA1725G-E1-A pinout, UPA1725G-E1-A application, or UPA1725G-E1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate compatibility (2.5–4.5 V), pulsed drain current rating of ±28 A, thermal resistance (Rth(ch–A) = 62.5 °C/W), body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 40 ns), and industrial-grade reliability per Renesas Standard quality grade.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, enhancement-mode N-channel MOSFET with no internal level-shifting or driver circuitry. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off) = 0.5–1.5 V) enables direct interface with 2.5-V and 3.3-V controllers, while its low Ciss (950 pF typ.) supports high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz in synchronous buck topologies.
The built-in gate-source protection diode is strictly for ESD mitigation-not functional clamping-and external gate resistors (e.g., 10 Ω) are required to control dV/dt and ringing during turn-on/turn-off. The body diode exhibits VF(S–D) = 0.8 V at 7 A and Qrr = 27 nC, making it suitable for non-synchronous flyback or freewheeling paths where controlled reverse recovery is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage in high-side switch position; limits use to ≤12-V input rails with margin. |
| RDS(on)1 | 21.0 mΩ max @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 3.5 A - Determines conduction loss in 3.5-A continuous load scenarios. |
| QG | 9.6 nC - Gate charge value defining driver strength requirement for <100-ns switching transitions. |
| tr/tf | 120 ns / 70 ns - Rise/fall times measured with 10-Ω gate resistor; sets minimum practical PWM frequency. |
| Tch max | 150 °C - Absolute maximum channel temperature; requires thermal design to maintain below this limit under 2.0-W dissipation. |
| Ciss | 950 pF typ. - Input capacitance affecting gate drive loop stability and controller phase margin. |
| ID(pulse) | ±28 A - Peak pulsed current rating (PW ≤ 10 µs, duty ≤ 1%) for inrush or transient overload handling. |
Pinout & Package
UPA1725G-E1-A uses the Power SOP8 (M8E) surface-mount package: 4.4 mm × 5.37 mm footprint, 1.8 mm max height, with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. Pin 1–3 and 5–8 are internally connected to drain; pin 4 is source; pin 5 is gate. The package includes a built-in gate-source protection diode but no isolation between drain and substrate.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | All electrically common; connects to high-side switch node and PCB thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; ties to power ground or low-side switch source in synchronous converters. |
| 5 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires external series resistor (e.g., 10 Ω) to damp oscillation and limit peak gate current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2.5-V logic-compatible gate | Guarantees full enhancement at VGS ≥ 2.5 V, enabling direct drive from low-voltage microcontrollers or PWM controllers without level shifters. |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 21.0 mΩ max reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. legacy 5-V gate MOSFETs in 3.3-V rail applications. |
| Built-in G-S ESD diode | Provides Class 2 HBM ESD protection (per datasheet note); eliminates need for discrete gate Zener in most board-level ESD environments. |
| Optimized for portable power | Power SOP8 footprint and 2.0-W power dissipation rating match thermal constraints of thin-profile notebook DC-DC modules. |
Applications
| Notebook CPU Core Voltage Regulator | USB-C PD Power Path Switch |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element modulating average current through inductive LED path at 100–200 kHz. Use Value: Low Ciss and Crss reduce switching losses and EMI; body diode trr = 40 ns prevents cross-conduction in asynchronous mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si2302DS-T1-E3 | 30-V VDSS, 45-mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5 V, SOT-23 package, no integrated G-S diode. | Higher voltage margin but higher conduction loss; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts requiring Power SOP8 footprint. | Select when 30-V headroom is mandatory and thermal budget allows higher RDS(on). |
| AO3400 | 30-V VDSS, 28-mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5 V, SO-8 package, no G-S protection diode. | Larger SO-8 body (same pin count, different outline); lacks on-chip ESD diode-requires external gate clamp. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where external protection is acceptable and layout accommodates larger SO-8. |
Compared with Si2302DS-T1-E3 and AO3400, the UPA1725G-E1-A delivers superior 20-V optimized performance with lower RDS(on), integrated ESD protection, and Power SOP8 thermal efficiency-making it the preferred choice for space- and efficiency-critical 12-V-input notebook and portable power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for UPA1725G-E1-A?
The UPA1725G-E1-A has a continuous drain current (ID(DC)) rating of ±7 A at TA = 25°C on a ceramic substrate (1200 mm² × 2.2 mm). Derating applies above 25°C ambient; at 85°C, usable ID(DC) drops to approximately 4.2 A based on the published derating curve in the datasheet.
Does UPA1725G-E1-A include a body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the UPA1725G-E1-A integrates a parasitic body diode between source and drain. Its forward voltage is VF(S–D) = 0.8 V at IF = 7 A and VGS = 0 V, with reverse recovery time trr = 40 ns and recovered charge Qrr = 27 nC under specified test conditions (di/dt = 100 A/µs). This diode is not rated for continuous conduction but supports freewheeling in non-synchronous topologies.
Can UPA1725G-E1-A be driven directly by a 2.5-V GPIO without a level shifter?
Yes, the UPA1725G-E1-A is explicitly characterized for 2.5-V gate drive: RDS(on)3 = 30.0 mΩ max at VGS = 2.5 V and ID = 3.5 A. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off)) ranges from 0.5 V to 1.5 V, ensuring reliable turn-on with 2.5-V logic. However, gate resistor selection (e.g., 10 Ω) remains essential to control switching speed and prevent ringing.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to ambient for UPA1725G-E1-A?
The UPA1725G-E1-A has a channel-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(ch–A)) of 62.5 °C/W when mounted on a 1200 mm² × 2.2 mm ceramic substrate, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes optimal PCB copper area and thermal vias beneath the exposed drain pad; actual board-level Rth will vary with layout and airflow.
Is UPA1725G-E1-A compliant with RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the UPA1725G-E1-A is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. The "E1-A" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging compatible with standard SMT placement equipment. Renesas confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related amendments, including restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
