Product details
Overview
BSS84AKS/ZLX from Nexperia is a dual P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT363 (SC-88) package, rated for −50 V drain-source voltage, −160 mA continuous drain current per channel, and 4.5 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = −10 V and Tj = 25 °C. It serves as a compact high-side load switch or relay driver in space-constrained automotive and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BSS84AKS/ZLX datasheet, BSS84AKS/ZLX pinout, BSS84AKS/ZLX application, or BSS84AKS/ZLX equivalent, this device supports logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = −1.1 to −2.1 V), delivers fast switching (td(on) = 13 ns typ., tf = 25 ns typ.), and meets AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual P-channel MOSFET integrates two independent Trench-based channels in a single 6-pin SOT363 package, enabling complementary high-side switching without external level-shifting circuitry. Each channel features matched threshold voltage (−1.6 V typ.) and low gate charge (QG(tot) = 0.26 nC typ.), supporting efficient PWM control in low-power DC-DC bias rails.
The device uses FR4 PCB-optimized thermal design with Rth(j-a) = 340–390 K/W per transistor under standard footprint conditions, and includes integrated ESD protection rated to 1 kV HBM. Its source-drain diode exhibits VSD = −0.48 to −1.2 V at IS = −115 mA, suitable for bidirectional clamping in signal line protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −50 V - Maximum blocking voltage per channel; enables use in 36 V automotive systems with margin. |
| ID (continuous) | −160 mA per channel at Tamb = 25 °C - Supports low-current loads like LED indicators or sensor biasing. |
| RDS(on) | 4.5 Ω typ. at VGS = −10 V, ID = −100 mA - Ensures <160 mW conduction loss at rated current. |
| VGS(th) | −1.1 to −2.1 V - Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic outputs without gate drivers. |
| QG(tot) | 0.26 nC typ. - Enables sub-100 ns switching transitions with minimal gate drive power. |
| tf | 25 ns typ. - Reduces switching losses in high-frequency (<1 MHz) load-switching applications. |
| ESD rating | 1000 V HBM - Provides robust handling during automated assembly and board-level operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363 (SC-88), plastic surface-mounted, 6-lead TSSOP variant with 0.65 mm pitch; dimensions 2.2 × 1.8 × 1.15 mm (L × W × H); moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of Channel 1 - Connected to system ground or low-side return path in high-side configuration. |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of Channel 1 - Accepts logic-level control signal; requires no external pull-down for default-off behavior. |
| 3 | D2 | Drain terminal of Channel 2 - Routable to load supply rail; thermally coupled to PCB pad for enhanced power dissipation. |
| 4 | S2 | Source terminal of Channel 2 - Electrically isolated from S1; enables dual independent switching paths. |
| 5 | G2 | Gate terminal of Channel 2 - Fully independent control; supports asynchronous or synchronized dual-channel operation. |
| 6 | D1 | Drain terminal of Channel 1 - Shares same package thermal node as D2; supports parallel layout for balanced current sharing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature range (−40 to +150 °C) and mechanical stress; supports under-hood ECUs. |
| Trench MOSFET technology | Delivers lower RDS(on) and higher transconductance (gfs = 150 mS typ.) vs. planar P-channel alternatives. |
| Logic-level compatible | VGS(th) ≤ −2.1 V ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs without level shifters. |
| Very fast switching | Combined td(on) + tr + td(off) + tf < 160 ns typ. minimizes transition losses in PWM-driven loads. |
| ESD protection | Integrated 1 kV HBM protection eliminates need for external TVS diodes on gate lines in most board layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG1012T | Single-channel, SOT-523, −20 V/−500 mA, RDS(on) = 0.35 Ω - higher current but no dual integration. | Requires two devices and extra PCB area to replicate dual functionality; lacks AEC-Q101 rating. | Choose when higher current per channel (>200 mA) is required and dual integration is not critical. |
| FDMA1023PZ | Dual P-channel, WDFN-6, −20 V/−2.7 A, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω - significantly higher current and lower RDS(on), but larger footprint. | Not suitable for space-constrained designs; thermal performance optimized for >1 W dissipation, exceeding BSS84AKS/ZLX's 280 mW limit. | Choose for high-current load switching where PCB area allows and junction temperature must stay below 125 °C under sustained load. |
Compared with DMG1012T and FDMA1023PZ, BSS84AKS/ZLX uniquely balances ultra-small SOT363 packaging, AEC-Q101 qualification, and logic-level compatibility-making it optimal for dual low-current, automotive-grade switching where board space and qualification are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for BSS84AKS/ZLX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, with continuous operation supported from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient. Derating begins above +25 °C ambient per the Rth(j-a) = 340–390 K/W thermal resistance curves in the datasheet, limiting usable power dissipation to ~180 mW at +85 °C ambient.
Can BSS84AKS/ZLX be used in a back-to-back configuration for AC switching?
No - BSS84AKS/ZLX is a dual P-channel device with unidirectional body diodes oriented from source to drain. Back-to-back AC switching requires complementary N+P pairs or dedicated bidirectional switches; this part supports only DC high-side or low-side unidirectional switching.
Is the gate threshold voltage symmetric between the two channels?
Yes - characterization data shows matched VGS(th) across both channels (−1.1 to −2.1 V at ID = −250 µA), with typical spread <±50 mV under identical test conditions. This matching enables synchronous dual-channel control without calibration.
Does BSS84AKS/ZLX require external gate resistors for EMI suppression?
Not typically - its low QG(tot) (0.26 nC) and fast intrinsic switching allow clean edges even with 0 Ω gate series resistance. However, a 10–47 Ω resistor is recommended if conducted EMI exceeds CISPR 25 Class 5 limits in automotive EMC testing, particularly when driving inductive loads.
