Product details
Overview
BSS123IXTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 100 V, logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-SOT23-3 package, with RDS(on) ≤ 6 Ω at VGS = 10 V and ≤ 10 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, rated for 190 mA continuous drain current, and qualified per JEDEC for industrial applications - used in low-power load switching and level-shifted gate drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BSS123IXTMA1 datasheet, BSS123IXTMA1 pinout, BSS123IXTMA1 application, or BSS123IXTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (4.5 V), low RDS(on) at 4.5 V, SOT23-3 thermal performance (RthJA = 250 K/W), and integrated body diode recovery (trr = 12–18 ns) in compact surface-mount form.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™ small-signal transistor operates in enhancement mode with a gate threshold voltage of 0.8–1.8 V and supports logic-level control down to 4.5 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. Its 100 V VDS rating and 2.0 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support robustness in inductive load switching.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 12–18 ns, Qrr = 4.3–6.5 nC) and exhibits low gate charge (Qg = 0.63 nC, Qgd = 0.23 nC), supporting efficient high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz in space-constrained DC-DC and signal routing designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source voltage, suitable for 24 V industrial bus and 48 V telecom supply rails. |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 10 V | 6 Ω - Ensures <1.1 mW conduction loss at 190 mA, minimizing self-heating in ambient-limited PCB layouts. |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 4.5 V | 10 Ω - Enables full enhancement with standard 3.3 V/5 V GPIOs without external level-shifting circuitry. |
| ID continuous | 190 mA - Supports low-current loads such as LED drivers, sensor biasing, and enable/disable control paths. |
| trr / Qrr | 12–18 ns / 4.3–6.5 nC - Limits reverse recovery losses during synchronous rectification or flyback snubber operation. |
| ESD HBM Class | Class 0 (<250 V) - Requires handling precautions; not suited for unshielded user-accessible I/O interfaces. |
| Ptot @ TA = 25 °C | 0.5 W - Delivers usable power in minimal 40 mm² FR4 footprint with 1 mm traces on both sides. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SOT23-3 - Standard plastic SOT-23 outline with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on 1 mm trace-width PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts logic-level input (0.8–1.8 V threshold); requires <0.63 nC total charge for full turn-on. |
| Pin 2 | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to system ground or low-side return path; carries full load current (≤190 mA). |
| Pin 3 | Drain | High-side switch node; connects to load or supply rail; withstands 100 V transient spikes and supports avalanche energy up to 2.0 mJ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Guaranteed turn-on at VGS = 4.5 V, eliminating need for gate driver ICs in microcontroller-peripheral interfaces. |
| JEDEC industrial qualification | Validated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supporting extended-life embedded deployments. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IEC61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, enabling compliance in medical and industrial end-equipment. |
| Low gate charge (Qg) | 0.63 nC total gate charge enables fast switching with minimal driver power consumption and reduced EMI generation. |
Applications
| LED Current Control | Sensor Bias Switching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision dimming of indicator LEDs in industrial HMIs where current must be limited to 100–200 mA without thermal derating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side constant-current switch controlled by PWM from MCU GPIO. Use Value: RDS(on) ≤ 10 Ω at 4.5 V ensures stable current regulation across VGS variation; SOT23-3 footprint fits dense front-panel layouts. |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling analog sensor bias rails (e.g., RTD excitation, Hall-effect sensors) only during active measurement cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-gating FET isolating sensor supply to reduce system standby current. Use Value: Sub-1 µA IDSS at 100 V and low gate leakage (<10 nA) prevent unintended bias leakage during sleep states. |
| Microcontroller I/O Protection | Low-Voltage Level Shifting |
Use Scenario: Isolating sensitive MCU pins from higher-voltage peripherals (e.g., 12 V solenoid drivers, relay coils) to prevent latch-up or overvoltage damage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection switch placed between MCU GPIO and external interface node. Use Value: 100 V VDS rating and Class 0 ESD tolerance allow safe clamping of transients while maintaining logic integrity. |
Use Scenario: Translating 3.3 V logic signals to 5 V or 12 V domains in mixed-supply systems (e.g., USB-to-serial adapters, sensor hubs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-FET level shifter using source-follower or common-drain configuration. Use Value: Low VGS(th) (0.8–1.8 V) and high gfs (0.41 S) ensure clean edge transition and minimal propagation delay (<10 ns). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 3.5 Ω @ 4.5 V; higher ID (350 mA); SOT-23 package but different pinout (Drain/Source swapped). | Higher current capability suits 3.3 V-driven motor drivers; pinout mismatch requires PCB redesign. | Select when >200 mA load current is required and layout allows pinout adaptation. |
| FDV303N | RDS(on) = 3.1 Ω @ 4.5 V; lower VGS(th) (0.5–1.2 V); same SOT-23-3 pinout (Drain=3, Source=2, Gate=1). | Better low-VGS margin improves noise immunity; slightly lower avalanche rating (1.2 mJ vs. 2.0 mJ). | Prefer for noise-sensitive 3.3 V systems where gate drive margin is critical and avalanche stress is minimal. |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and FDV303N, BSS123IXTMA1 offers superior avalanche ruggedness (2.0 mJ) and JEDEC industrial qualification, trading off some RDS(on) performance for proven reliability in thermally constrained, long-lifecycle industrial modules.

FAQ
Is BSS123IXTMA1 pin-compatible with the original BSS123?
Yes - BSS123IXTMA1 uses the identical PG-SOT23-3 package and pinout (Gate=1, Source=2, Drain=3) as the legacy BSS123, with improved RDS(on) specs and JEDEC industrial qualification. No PCB change is required for drop-in replacement in existing designs.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for BSS123IXTMA1 in switching applications?
Based on its 0.63 nC gate charge and 22 ns fall time, BSS123IXTMA1 supports reliable operation up to ~500 kHz in low-duty-cycle, low-ID (<100 mA) switching. Above 200 kHz, thermal limits and gate drive strength become dominant constraints.
Does BSS123IXTMA1 include an integrated ESD protection diode?
No - BSS123IXTMA1 has no internal ESD protection diodes beyond its inherent MOSFET structure. Its JESD22-A114 HBM rating is Class 0 (<250 V), meaning external TVS or series resistance is required for I/O-facing applications.
Can BSS123IXTMA1 be used in linear (analog) operation, such as a voltage-controlled resistor?
Yes - its transconductance (gfs = 0.41 S) and flat RDS(on) vs. VGS curve (Diagram 6) support analog use in low-current variable-resistance roles (e.g., programmable gain stages), but thermal stability is limited to ≤100 mW dissipation in linear mode.
