Diodes Incorporated 2N7002DWAQ-7

Overview

2N7002DWAQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT363 package, rated for 60 V V_DSS, 8 Ω R_DS(ON) @ 5 V_GS, and 170 mA continuous drain current at +25°C. It delivers low gate threshold (0.8–2.5 V), fast switching (t_D(ON) = 3.3 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power management functions including load switching and DC-DC converter control.

For engineers reviewing the 2N7002DWAQ-7 datasheet, 2N7002DWAQ-7 pinout, 2N7002DWAQ-7 application, or 2N7002DWAQ-7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin assignments, real-world use cases in battery-powered systems and solid-state relays, and confirmed automotive-grade alternatives with documented parameter differences.

Technical Context

This dual MOSFET integrates two independent N-channel devices in a single SOT363 package with shared thermal path and isolated source terminals (S1/S2) and gate terminals (G1/G2). Its low R_DS(ON) at 5 V_GS enables efficient operation from standard logic-level drivers, while its 22 pF C_iss and 2.0 pF Cr_ss support high-frequency switching up to several MHz in compact power stages.

The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with normalized R_DS(ON) variation ≤1.4× over that range at fixed V_GS/I_D. Its HBM Class 1C ESD rating (≥1 kV) and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for automotive body electronics where transient robustness and process traceability are mandatory.

FAQ

Is the 2N7002DWAQ-7 pin-to-pin compatible with the standard 2N7002DWA?

Yes-the 2N7002DWAQ-7 shares identical SOT363 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal performance with the standard 2N7002DWA. The "Q" suffix denotes automotive qualification (AEC-Q101, PPAP-capable, IATF 16949 manufacturing), with no physical or functional differences in pin assignment or circuit behavior.

What is the maximum safe operating frequency for switching with the 2N7002DWAQ-7?

Based on measured t_D(ON) = 3.3 ns, t_R = 3.2 ns, t_D(OFF) = 12.0 ns, and t_F = 6.3 ns, the device supports clean switching up to 20 MHz in resistive loads with optimized gate drive (25 Ω series resistor, 5 V logic source). For inductive loads, practical limit is ~5 MHz due to voltage overshoot constraints.

Can the 2N7002DWAQ-7 be used in linear (analog) mode for current regulation?

No-it is not characterized or guaranteed for linear operation. The datasheet specifies only switching parameters (R_DS(ON), Q_g, C_iss) and SOA curves for pulsed conditions. Continuous linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of R_DS(ON) and lack of Safe Operating Area validation beyond 100 µs pulses.

Does the 2N7002DWAQ-7 include intrinsic body diodes, and are they rated for reverse recovery?

Yes-each channel has an integrated body diode with V_SD = 0.8–1.2 V at 115 mA. However, the datasheet does not specify reverse recovery time (t_rr) or Q_rr; it is intended for low-frequency freewheeling (e.g., relay coil suppression), not high-speed synchronous rectification.
