Product details
Overview
BSS159NL6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel depletion-mode SIPMOS® small-signal transistor in SOT-23 package, rated for 60 V VDS, 8 Ω RDS(on) max at VGS = 0 V, and 0.23 A continuous drain current at 25 °C ambient. It features dv/dt immunity up to 6 kV/µs and is RoHS-compliant with Pb-free lead plating - used in precision analog switching and high-reliability signal routing where controlled turn-off without gate drive is required.
For engineers reviewing the BSS159NL6327HTSA1 datasheet, BSS159NL6327HTSA1 pinout, BSS159NL6327HTSA1 application, or BSS159NL6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its depletion-mode operation, VGS(th) banding (L-band: −2.9 V to −2.7 V), reverse diode recovery time (10.4–13 ns), and thermal resistance (350 K/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a normally-on switch requiring negative gate bias to pinch off conduction - enabling fail-safe circuit behavior in power sequencing and analog multiplexing. Its depletion-mode architecture eliminates need for active gate pull-down in standby states, reducing system-level component count.
Designed for high dv/dt environments, it sustains 6 kV/µs under ID = 0.23 A and VDS = 60 V, with integrated body diode exhibiting 0.79–1.2 V forward voltage at IF = 0.16 A and 10.4–13 ns reverse recovery time - critical for fast-switching linear regulators and protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; defines upper rail limit in analog switches and level shifters. |
| RDS(on) max | 8 Ω at VGS = 0 V, ID = 0.07 A - sets on-state insertion loss and self-heating in low-current signal paths. |
| IDSS min | 0.13 A at VGS = 0 V, VDS = 10 V - minimum guaranteed conduction current in depletion mode for bias stability. |
| VGS(th) (L-band) | −2.9 V to −2.7 V - tightly binned threshold enabling predictable gate drive margins in analog control loops. |
| trr | 10.4–13 ns - reverse recovery time of integrated body diode; constrains maximum switching frequency in flyback or clamp topologies. |
| Ciss | 33–44 pF - input capacitance affecting gate drive energy and high-frequency impedance matching. |
| Ptot | 0.36 W at TA = 25 °C - thermal limit dictating PCB copper area and derating above 25 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in PG-SOT-23 (JEDEC TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package with standard 3-pin configuration and 1.3 mm pitch. Thermal resistance RthJA = 350 K/W on minimal footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Drain) | Main current-carrying terminal under depletion conduction | Connected to high-side signal path; must withstand full VDS stress and support body diode reverse recovery. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel modulation | Receives negative bias (≤ −2.7 V) to fully deplete channel; high-impedance node sensitive to ESD (Class 0 HBM). |
| 3 (Source) | Reference terminal for gate-source voltage and current return | Typically tied to ground or common reference; establishes VGS bias point and carries full load current in series-switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Depletion-mode operation | Conducts at VGS = 0 V - enables zero-power default-on behavior for safety-critical signal routing and power-up sequencing. |
| VGS(th) banding (L-band) | −2.9 V to −2.7 V - reduces gate drive design margin uncertainty and improves batch-to-batch consistency in analog bias networks. |
| dv/dt immunity | 6 kV/µs - prevents false triggering during fast transients in motor drives and industrial I/O interfaces. |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = 0.79–1.2 V at IF = 0.16 A - supports bidirectional current flow in clamping and level-shifting applications without external diode. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Lead-plated terminals per DIN EN 61249-2-21 - ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles and environmental compliance programs. |
Applications
| High-Voltage Analog Switching | Power Sequencing Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Selecting between multiple sensor inputs in a 48 V industrial data acquisition module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Depletion-mode switch providing default-closed path until gate is pulled negative to isolate channels. Use Value: Eliminates need for always-on gate driver; enables fail-safe signal continuity during MCU reset or brownout events. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Normally-on pass element controlled by supervisor IC output to enforce strict power-up order. Use Value: Prevents backfeeding and latch-up in multi-rail systems using single passive transistor instead of active PMIC sequencing logic. |
| Linear Regulator Pass Element | ESD-Protected Signal Routing |
|
Use Scenario: Low-noise 5 V LDO stage supplying precision ADC reference in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable series pass transistor with gate biased via op-amp feedback loop for tight regulation. Use Value: Leverages low RDS(on) drift over temperature (typ. 98% stable from −60 °C to 150 °C) for long-term reference stability. |
Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 receiver inputs against transient coupling in factory automation wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-impedance gate isolates protected line; body diode clamps ESD pulses to safe voltage levels. Use Value: Achieves Class 0 HBM ESD rating (≤100 V) while maintaining <1 pF added capacitance to preserve signal integrity at 10 Mbps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar depletion-mode MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 4.5 Ω max (lower), VDS = 20 V (lower), no VGS(th) banding | Suitable only for ≤20 V systems; lacks dv/dt rating and high-voltage body diode specs | Select when lower on-resistance is prioritized over voltage rating and transient immunity. |
| BSS138W-7-F | Enhancement-mode (not depletion), VGS(th) = 0.8–1.5 V, RDS(on) = 3.5 Ω max at VGS = 10 V | Requires active gate drive; cannot provide default-on behavior or fail-safe conduction | Choose only if system architecture mandates enhancement-mode control and gate drive is available. |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and BSS138W-7-F, BSS159NL6327HTSA1 uniquely delivers 60 V blocking, depletion-mode operation, and 6 kV/µs dv/dt immunity - making it irreplaceable in high-voltage analog switches and power sequencing where default conduction and transient robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for BSS159NL6327HTSA1?
The BSS159NL6327HTSA1 is binned in the L-band with VGS(th) = −2.9 V to −2.7 V, measured at VDS = 3 V and ID = 26 µA. This tight tolerance enables consistent turn-off behavior across production lots without recalibrating gate drive circuitry.
Can this transistor be used as a high-side switch with positive gate drive?
No - as a depletion-mode device, it conducts at VGS = 0 V and requires negative gate voltage (≤ −2.7 V) to turn off. Applying positive gate voltage increases conduction but does not improve RDS(on); it risks exceeding ±20 V VGS absolute maximum rating.
Does the integrated body diode support continuous reverse current?
Yes - the body diode supports 0.20 A continuous forward current (IS) and 0.81 A pulsed current (IS,pulse). Its VSD = 0.79–1.2 V at IF = 0.16 A and trr = 10.4–13 ns make it suitable for clamping and bidirectional signal routing, not power rectification.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient?
Yes - Ptot drops linearly from 0.36 W at 25 °C to 0 W at 150 °C junction temperature. With RthJA = 350 K/W on minimal footprint, ambient operation above 70 °C requires PCB copper area increase or forced airflow to maintain safe Tj.
