Product details
Overview
BSS816NW L6327 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in a small-outline SOT-323 (SC-70) package, rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 340 mA continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C, and 1.2 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a low-side load switch in portable power management circuits, including USB port protection and LED driver control.
For engineers reviewing the BSS816NW L6327 datasheet, BSS816NW L6327 pinout, BSS816NW L6327 application, or BSS816NW L6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low gate charge (Qg = 1.2 nC), and thermal resistance (RthJA = 350 K/W), critical for space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low on-resistance and fast switching in low-voltage DC-DC and load-switching applications. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V and 3.3 V microcontroller I/O, while the 1.2 nC total gate charge enables efficient drive with minimal controller loading.
The device features a specified avalanche energy rating (EAS = 10 mJ at TA = 25 °C) and guaranteed RDS(on) over temperature (1.8 Ω max at TJ = 125 °C), supporting robust operation in thermally unregulated handheld systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum drain-to-source blocking voltage before breakdown; suitable for 24 V industrial bus and 48 V PoE auxiliary rails. |
| ID (continuous) | 340 mA at TA = 25 °C - Continuous load current capability without heatsink; derates to 190 mA at 70 °C ambient. |
| RDS(on) (typ) | 1.2 Ω at VGS = 10 V - On-resistance determines conduction loss; yields <100 mW dissipation at 300 mA. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - Gate threshold range ensures full enhancement with 1.8 V logic; avoids partial turn-on in low-VCC states. |
| Qg | 1.2 nC - Total gate charge defines minimum drive energy; allows clean switching with weak GPIOs or low-power drivers. |
| RthJA | 350 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in standard PCB layout; limits power handling without copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-323 (SC-70), 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with 1.3 mm × 1.75 mm footprint and 0.95 mm height. Standard JEDEC outline; compatible with reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives logic-level voltage to modulate channel conductivity; high-impedance node requiring ESD-safe handling. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side load connection | Connected to supply rail or switched load; carries full load current and withstands VDS stress during off-state. |
| 3 (Source) | Return path / reference | Tied to system ground or low-side return; establishes common reference for gate drive and current sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully with 1.8 V/3.3 V microcontroller outputs-no level shifter required in portable systems. |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 1.8 Ω max at VGS = 4.5 V-enables efficient switching in 3.3 V supply domains with minimal I²R loss. |
| Fast switching speed | ton = 2.5 ns, toff = 12 ns-reduces transition losses in PWM-driven loads like RGB LEDs and backlight dimming. |
| Robust ESD rating | HBM Class 2 (2 kV)-survives handling and board assembly without external protection diodes. |
Applications
| USB Port Protection | LED Driver Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating downstream USB peripherals from host port faults or hot-plug inrush currents. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side load switch controlling VBUS path; activated only after enumeration completes.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching current sink enabling precise duty-cycle control up to 1 MHz. Use Value: Achieves flicker-free dimming with 2.5 ns ton and sub-100 mW conduction loss at 20 mA. |
| Smart Card Power Control | Low-Power Sensor Biasing |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power to contact-based smart card readers in point-of-sale terminals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled power rail switch with controlled rise/fall times to meet ISO/IEC 7816 timing requirements. Use Value: Guarantees <10 µs turn-on delay and <100 ns gate charge time-ensuring compliant reset signal generation. | Use Scenario: Providing bias current to analog sensor front-ends (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes) only during active measurement cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision low-leakage switch minimizing standby current (<100 nA IDSS) between readings. Use Value: Extends battery life in coin-cell-powered devices by reducing quiescent current by >99% versus always-on biasing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-voltage N-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3026LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω @ 4.5 V; higher Qg = 1.8 nC; SOT-23 package | Larger footprint (2.9 × 1.3 mm vs. 1.75 × 1.3 mm); higher thermal resistance (400 K/W) | Prefer when existing layout uses SOT-23 and gate drive strength exceeds 1.2 nC requirement. |
| BSS138DW-7-F | Lower VDS = 50 V; lower ID = 200 mA; dual-N in SOT-363 | Not pin-compatible; requires redesign for single-channel use; better for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when dual-channel integration reduces board area and 50 V rating suffices for target supply rails. |
Compared with BSS816NW L6327, DMN3026LSD-13 trades compact size for slightly higher switching loss, while BSS138DW-7-F offers dual-channel integration at the cost of reduced voltage headroom and non-drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for BSS816NW L6327?
The device supports junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. In standard SOT-323 mounting on 1 cm² 1-oz copper, maximum continuous power dissipation is limited to ~120 mW at 70 °C ambient due to RthJA = 350 K/W. Derating curves in Infineon's datasheet (Rev. 2.1, p. 5) define safe ID limits above 25 °C.
Can BSS816NW L6327 be used with 1.8 V GPIOs without a level shifter?
Yes-its VGS(th) range (1.0–2.0 V) and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 1.8 Ω at VGS = 1.8 V enable direct drive from 1.8 V microcontrollers. Measured gate threshold distribution shows >95% units turn on fully below 1.7 V, making it suitable for low-voltage logic interfaces.
Is the SOT-323 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes-BSS816NW L6327 is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The "L6327" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with Pb-free matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound.
Does this MOSFET require external gate resistors for EMI suppression?
Not typically-its low Qg (1.2 nC) and fast intrinsic switching (tr/tf < 3 ns) minimize ringing, but a 10–47 Ω series gate resistor is recommended when driving long PCB traces (>5 cm) or in noise-sensitive environments to dampen parasitic oscillation without compromising PWM efficiency.
