P-channel load switch for 5V-driven rails
The UPA2814T1S-E2-AT: The UPA2814T1S--AT P-channel MOSFET has a 7.8 mOhm max on-resistance at 5V gate drive, suiting high-side load switching and reverse-polarity protection circuits driven from a 5V rail.
On-resistance at the drive voltages that matter
Rds(on) is specified at two drive voltages: 7.8 mOhm max at 5V, 24 A, and the same 7.8 mOhm figure also applies at 10V drive per the datasheet's drive voltage range of 4.5V to 10V. The 5V rating is the one to size against in a 5V-only system — the part does not require a 10V rail to hit its rated on-resistance. The 74 nC gate charge at 10V sets the switching loss: at 100 kHz the average gate-drive current is 7.4 mA, well within a standard gate driver's capability.
Thermal budget in the HWSON footprint
The 8-PowerWDFN (also called 8-HWSON) exposes a large thermal pad on the bottom of the 3.3x3.3 mm package. Maximum power dissipation is 1.5 W at 25°C ambient — but that rating assumes the pad is soldered to a copper land on the PCB with adequate via array to the inner ground plane. Without that thermal connection, the junction-to-ambient resistance rises and the 24 A continuous rating at 25°C case temperature cannot be sustained. The junction temperature limit is 150°C.
