N-channel switch
With the source on the return and the drain on the load, a positive gate-to-source voltage turns on the channel.
A compact 20 V N-channel power MOSFET in the Micro3 package with a SOT-23 footprint.
Gate. Drive with the rated voltage relative to its own source.
| Pin | Signal | Direction | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | G Input | Input | Gate. Drive with the rated voltage relative to its own source. |
| 2 | S Current terminal | Current terminal | Source. It sets the gate-voltage reference and is the intrinsic diode anode. |
| 3 | D Current terminal | Current terminal | Drain. It connects to the switched load and is the intrinsic diode cathode. |
| Parameter | Limit | Conditions and source |
|---|---|---|
| Drain-to-source voltage20 V | 20 V | Absolute maximum with the gate off. Allow margin for supply and switching transients. Infineon IRLML2502PbF, Absolute Maximum Ratings |
| Gate-to-source voltage±12 V | ±12 V | Absolute maximum. Gate drive in this example is 5 V. Infineon IRLML2502PbF, Absolute Maximum Ratings |
| Maximum on-resistance45 mΩ | 45 mΩ | At VGS = 4.5 V and TJ = 25 °C. The manufacturer separately specifies on-resistance at 2.5 V. Infineon IRLML2502PbF, Electrical Characteristics |
Three-terminal Micro3. Drain is the single lead opposite the gate and source.
