Product details
Overview
2SJ176-E from Toshiba is a silicon P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in DC-DC converters and motor drive circuits. It features –60 V VDSS, –15 A continuous drain current, 0.09 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = –10 V, 4 V gate threshold compatibility with 5 V logic, and integrated body diode with 230 ns reverse recovery time.
For engineers reviewing the 2SJ176-E datasheet, 2SJ176-E pinout, 2SJ176-E application, or 2SJ176-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at low gate drive, fast switching (15 ns turn-on delay), TO-220FM package thermal performance, and suitability for solenoid and brushed DC motor control where bidirectional conduction and compact layout are critical.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET operates as a high-side switch in buck converters and H-bridge half-bridges, leveraging its –1.0 to –2.0 V VGS(off) for reliable depletion-free turn-off and 0.11 Ω max RDS(on) at –4 V gate drive to enable direct 5 V microcontroller interfacing without level-shifting. Its 1400 pF Ciss and 220 pF Crss support stable gate drive design with minimal Miller-induced oscillation.
The device integrates a body diode rated for –15 A continuous forward current and 230 ns trr, enabling synchronous rectification in flyback topologies and freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal derating follows a defined 4.17°C/W θch–c, with safe operating area limited by RDS(on) above 100 µs pulse width at TC = 25°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPbF | RDS(on) = 0.2 Ω min @ VGS = –10 V; higher on-resistance than 2SJ176-E's 0.09 Ω typ | Lower switching speed (td(on) = 25 ns); less suitable for >500 kHz operation | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and frequency demands |
| STP12PF06 | VDSS = –60 V same; RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω typ @ –10 V; Ciss = 1200 pF (lower) | Higher VGS(th) (–2 to –4 V) requires stronger gate drive for full enhancement | Selected when lower input capacitance reduces gate drive loss but gate drive voltage ≥ –10 V is available |
Compared with IRF9540NPbF and STP12PF06, the 2SJ176-E delivers superior conduction efficiency at low gate drive and faster switching-critical for space-constrained motor drivers-while maintaining identical –60 V rating and TO-220FM mechanical compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the 2SJ176-E at 25°C case temperature?
The 2SJ176-E supports –15 A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 25°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and adherence to the derating curve shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet, where power dissipation decreases linearly above 25°C case temperature.
Can the 2SJ176-E be driven directly from a 5 V microcontroller GPIO pin?
Yes-the 2SJ176-E is explicitly characterized as a "4 V gate drive device" and can be fully enhanced with VGS = –4 V. Since a 5 V MCU outputs 0 V (low) and 5 V (high), pairing it with an inverting driver stage (e.g., NPN transistor or logic inverter) yields –4 V to –5 V gate-source voltage, satisfying the device's VGS(off) and RDS(on) specifications without external level shifters.
Does the 2SJ176-E have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes-the 2SJ176-E integrates a body diode between drain and source. Its forward voltage is –1.2 V at –15 A (VDF), and reverse recovery time is 230 ns (trr) under specified test conditions (IF = –15 A, diF/dt = 50 A/µs). This diode enables freewheeling in inductive loads and simplifies circuit design in H-bridge and buck topologies.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case (θch–c) for the 2SJ176-E?
The 2SJ176-E has a channel-to-case thermal resistance (θch–c) of 4.17°C/W, measured under steady-state conditions with the device mounted on a standard heatsink per JEDEC standards. This value is used to calculate junction temperature rise (Tj = TC + Pch × θch–c) and verify operation within the 150°C absolute maximum channel temperature limit.
Is the 2SJ176-E suitable for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters?
The 2SJ176-E is not optimized for synchronous rectification due to its relatively high RDS(on) (0.09 Ω) and moderate tr/tf compared to dedicated SR FETs. However, it can serve as a high-side switch in buck converters where the low-side element handles rectification. For true synchronous rectification, lower RDS(on) and faster switching devices are recommended.
