Product details

Overview

UPA2718AGR-E2-AT from Renesas Electronics is a P-channel power MOSFET designed for notebook computer power management and Li-ion battery protection circuits. It delivers R_DS(on) = 9.0 mΩ max at V_GS = −10 V / I_D = −6.5 A, supports −30 V drain-source voltage, and features built-in gate protection diode in Power SOP8 package.

For engineers reviewing the UPA2718AGR-E2-AT datasheet, UPA2718AGR-E2-AT pinout, UPA2718AGR-E2-AT application, or UPA2718AGR-E2-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include low R_DS(on) at −4.5 V gate drive, avalanche energy rating (E_AS = 16.9 mJ), thermal performance on ceramic substrate, and compliance with Pb-free RoHS requirements.

Technical Context

This device operates as a high-side load switch in battery protection IC subsystems, where its negative gate threshold (V_GS(off) = −1.0 to −2.5 V) enables direct control by standard logic-level drivers. Its body diode exhibits V_F(S-D) = 0.84 V at 13 A and t_rr = 180 ns, supporting synchronous rectification in bidirectional current paths.

The MOSFET's switching behavior is characterized by t_d(on) = 13 ns, t_r = 18 ns, t_d(off) = 510 ns, and t_f = 310 ns under −15 V V_DD, −6.5 A I_D, and 10 Ω gate resistance - indicating optimized turn-on speed but relatively slow turn-off suited for fault-containment applications.

Pinout & Package

UPA2718AGR-E2-AT uses Power SOP8 (also known as PSOP8 or SOP-8L) package: 6.0 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 1.8 mm max height, with exposed drain pad for thermal dissipation.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 2, 3	Source	Common return path for load current; tied to battery negative or system ground in high-side configuration.
4	Gate	Control input requiring negative voltage relative to source to turn on; protected by internal Zener diode.
5, 6, 7, 8	Drain	Main current-carrying terminal connected to battery positive or protected load; electrically tied to exposed thermal pad.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Low R_DS(on) at −4.5 V	14.5 mΩ max enables use with 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
Built-in gate protection diode	Zener clamp between gate and source prevents ESD damage during handling and board assembly.
Avalanche-rated design	Rated for single-pulse E_AS = 16.9 mJ ensures robustness against inductive kickback in battery disconnect events.
Pb-free and RoHS-compliant	Pure Sn (tin) lead plating meets EU RoHS Directive and eliminates lead contamination risk in recycling streams.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
Si2301DDS-T1-GE3	R_DS(on) = 115 mΩ @ −4.5 V; smaller SOT-23 package; lower I_D(DC) = −2.7 A.	Suitable for lower-current (<3 A) space-constrained designs; not rated for avalanche energy.	Select when board area is critical and peak current remains below 3 A; verify thermal margin on FR4.
AO3401A	R_DS(on) = 52 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SO-8 package; E_AS = 12 mJ; Q_G = 20 nC.	Better gate drive efficiency due to lower Q_G, but reduced avalanche capability versus UPA2718AGR-E2-AT.	Prefer for high-frequency switching (>100 kHz) where lower Q_G reduces driver losses, accepting lower fault-energy tolerance.

Compared with Si2301DDS-T1-GE3 and AO3401A, UPA2718AGR-E2-AT provides superior conduction efficiency at high current (≤6.5 A), higher avalanche robustness (16.9 mJ), and thermal performance on ceramic substrates - making it optimal for notebook battery protection where reliability under fault conditions is prioritized over minimal footprint or ultra-low gate charge.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for UPA2718AGR-E2-AT?

The UPA2718AGR-E2-AT has a DC drain current rating of −13 A at T_A = 25°C when mounted on a ceramic substrate (1200 mm² × 2.2 mm). Derating applies above 25°C ambient; at 75°C, the usable I_D(DC) drops to approximately −8.5 A. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design and accounts for R_DS(on) increase with channel temperature.

Does UPA2718AGR-E2-AT support logic-level gate drive?

Yes, UPA2718AGR-E2-AT supports logic-level gate drive with guaranteed R_DS(on)2 ≤ 14.5 mΩ at V_GS = −4.5 V and I_D = −6.5 A. Its gate threshold voltage range (V_GS(off) = −1.0 to −2.5 V) ensures full enhancement using standard 5 V microcontroller outputs or dedicated battery-protection IC gate drivers.

Is UPA2718AGR-E2-AT suitable for avalanche-prone applications like battery disconnect?

Yes, UPA2718AGR-E2-AT is explicitly rated for single-pulse avalanche with I_AS = −13 A and E_AS = 16.9 mJ under defined test conditions (V_DD = −15 V, L = 100 μH, R_G = 25 Ω). This makes UPA2718AGR-E2-AT appropriate for controlled battery disconnection events where inductive energy must be safely absorbed.

What is the thermal resistance from channel to ambient for UPA2718AGR-E2-AT?

The UPA2718AGR-E2-AT has R_th(ch–A) = 3.5°C/W when mounted on a ceramic substrate (1200 mm² × 2.2 mm), and R_th(ch–A) = 62°C/W on a standard FR4 board (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm × 0.8 mm). These values are derived from transient thermal impedance curves in the datasheet and define safe power dissipation limits under pulsed and DC conditions.

How does the built-in gate protection diode function in UPA2718AGR-E2-AT?

The built-in gate protection diode in UPA2718AGR-E2-AT is a Zener-type clamp between gate and source terminals, rated at ±20 V. It safeguards the gate oxide from ESD and overvoltage transients during handling and PCB assembly. However, external gate resistors and TVS devices are still recommended if the system may experience sustained overvoltage beyond the Zener clamping limit.
