Product details
Overview
BS250P from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET rated for -45 V drain-source voltage, 14 Ω RDS(ON) at VGS = -10 V and ID = -200 mA, and -230 mA continuous drain current at +25°C - used as a low-side load switch in automotive body electronics and industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BS250P datasheet, BS250P pinout, BS250P application, or BS250P equivalent, key selection criteria include verified AEC-Q101 qualification status, gate threshold voltage range (-1 to -3.5 V), pulsed current capability (-3 A), thermal derating behavior above +25°C, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic-level gate drive in discrete switching topologies.
Technical Context
This device operates as a normally-off P-channel MOSFET with vertical DMOS construction optimized for low RDS(ON) and fast switching (tON/tOFF ≤ 20 ns each). Its gate threshold voltage range (-1 to -3.5 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard CMOS/TTL logic levels when referenced to source.
Designed for surface-mount applications in space-constrained PCBs, it supports pulsed drain currents up to -3 A under defined test conditions (pulse width = 300 µs, duty cycle ≤ 2%) and exhibits input capacitance (Ciss) of 60 pF at VDS = -10 V, enabling predictable gate drive sizing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -45 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction in reverse-biased drain-source path |
| RDS(ON) | 14 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -200 mA - defines on-state power loss (P = I²R) in DC load switching |
| ID (continuous) | -230 mA @ TA = +25°C - usable steady-state current before thermal shutdown at ambient temperature |
| VGS(TH) | -1 to -3.5 V @ ID = -1 mA - gate voltage range ensuring consistent turn-on across process variation |
| tON/tOFF | ≤ 20 ns each - enables high-frequency PWM control up to ~10 MHz with minimal dead-time overhead |
| Ciss | 60 pF @ VGS = 0 V, VDS = -10 V - determines required gate charge and driver strength for target slew rate |
| PTOT | 700 mW @ TA = +25°C - sets maximum dissipation without heatsinking; derates linearly above +25°C |
Pinout & Package
BS250P is housed in the SOT-23 package - a 3-pin, surface-mount plastic case with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering in high-volume production.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for P-channel conduction | Connected to higher potential rail; defines reference for VGS control and carries full load current |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | Receives negative-going logic signal relative to source; requires <1.2 nC total gate charge for full turn-on |
| 3 (Drain) | Current entry point into channel | Connected to load; withstands up to -45 V reverse bias and conducts -230 mA continuously at +25°C |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| P-channel enhancement mode | Ensures default-OFF operation - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors in high-side configurations |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan |
| Vertical DMOS structure | Delivers lower RDS(ON) per die area than planar MOSFETs, improving power density in compact layouts |
| Fast switching (20 ns) | Reduces transition losses in PWM-driven loads such as LED drivers and solenoid controllers |
| IATF 16949 manufacturing | Guarantees traceable lot control, PPAP documentation support, and zero-defect production discipline |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVP2106A | RDS(ON) = 12 Ω @ VGS = -10 V; VDS = -60 V; Ciss = 50 pF | Higher voltage rating allows use in 24 V systems; slightly lower on-resistance improves efficiency at higher currents | Select when operating beyond 15 V nominal rails or requiring tighter RDS(ON) tolerance |
| DMG2305U | RDS(ON) = 45 mΩ @ VGS = -4.5 V; VDS = -20 V; SOT-23 footprint identical | Optimized for 3.3 V logic drive; unsuitable for >20 V applications due to lower VDS | Choose for ultra-low-threshold, low-voltage battery-powered designs where gate drive is limited to 3.3 V |
Compared with ZVP2106A and DMG2305U, BS250P offers balanced performance for 12 V automotive and industrial switching - delivering adequate RDS(ON) and voltage margin without over-specifying cost or size, while maintaining full AEC-Q101 compliance and IATF 16949 traceability.

FAQ
Is BS250P qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, BS250P is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev. D for automotive applications. It undergoes stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, TC, and ESD per the standard's requirements, and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP documentation available upon request.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BS250P?
The BS250P has an absolute maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C ambient, with power dissipation decreasing linearly to zero at +150°C case temperature under specified mounting conditions.
Can BS250P be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - its gate threshold voltage range (-1 to -3.5 V) requires a negative gate-source bias relative to source. To drive it from a 3.3 V GPIO, a level-shifting circuit or inverting driver stage is necessary to generate sufficient VGS swing (e.g., -10 V) for full enhancement.
Does BS250P have integrated ESD protection?
BS250P includes inherent gate oxide ESD robustness per HBM Class 1B (≥500 V), but no dedicated on-die ESD clamp diodes. External TVS or RC filtering is recommended in high-noise environments such as automotive CAN/LIN bus proximity or motor drive zones.
