Product details
Overview
BSS84W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT323 package, rated for -50V VDSS, 10Ω RDS(ON) at VGS = -5V, and -130mA continuous drain current. It delivers low gate threshold voltage (-0.8V to -2.0V), fast switching (tD(ON) = 10ns), and low input capacitance (Ciss = 45pF), making it suitable for compact power-management and analog switching circuits in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BSS84W-7 datasheet, BSS84W-7 pinout, BSS84W-7 application, or BSS84W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified P-channel logic-level drive capability, thermal resistance (RθJA = 625°C/W), JEDEC-qualified reliability, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and SOT323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with negative gate control, requiring VGS ≤ -0.8V to initiate conduction and fully enhancing at VGS = -5V. Its low RDS(ON) and sub-2V VGS(TH) enable direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V logic outputs without level-shifting.
Designed for discrete load switching rather than synchronous rectification, it features guaranteed dynamic parameters (Ciss, Coss, Crss) and switching times under defined test conditions (VDD = -30V, RGEN = 50Ω), with thermal derating defined per Fig. 1 up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -50V - supports blocking of common negative-rail supply voltages in battery-powered systems |
| RDS(ON) | 10Ω @ VGS = -5V - enables <13mW conduction loss at -130mA, critical for low-power standby operation |
| VGS(TH) | -0.8V to -2.0V - ensures turn-on with standard 3.3V microcontroller GPIOs driving gate through pull-up |
| Ciss | 45pF - limits gate drive current demand and improves EMI performance in high-frequency switching |
| tD(ON) | 10ns - supports >10MHz digital switching in signal routing and power gating applications |
| PD | 200mW @ TA = +25°C - defines maximum steady-state dissipation on FR-4 PCB without heatsinking |
| RθJA | 625°C/W - quantifies thermal bottleneck from junction to ambient; requires layout-aware copper pour for >100mW use |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.00 × 2.225 × 0.90 mm (L × W × H), UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1, with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate control and current return path | Connected to higher potential rail (e.g., VCC or battery +) in high-side switch configuration |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode modulating channel conductivity | Requires negative voltage relative to source to conduct; driven by open-drain or inverted logic |
| Drain (D) | Current output terminal delivering switched load current | Connected to load (e.g., LED anode, sensor supply, or logic input) referenced to ground or lower potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at logic-level drive | 6Ω typical at VGS = -5V - reduces I²R losses in always-on bias networks and battery disconnect paths |
| Low gate threshold voltage | VGS(TH) down to -0.8V - allows reliable turn-on with weak pull-down drivers or partial-voltage gate control |
| Fast switching speed | tD(OFF) = 18ns - minimizes transition time in PWM-controlled analog switches and power sequencing |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified per AEC-Q standards - validated for extended temperature cycling and humidity exposure in industrial environments |
| Green, halogen-free construction | <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets automotive and medical regulatory requirements for material content compliance |
Applications
| Portable Power Switching | Logic-Level Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power to Bluetooth LE modules or PMIC rails in wearables during sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch controlling VBAT delivery to subsystems with minimal quiescent current. Use Value: Achieves <1µA off-state leakage (IDSS ≤ -1µA at TJ = +25°C), extending battery life beyond 6 months in deep-sleep cycles. | Use Scenario: Isolating I²C bus segments between MCU and sensor clusters to prevent address conflicts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog switch enabling signal pass-through only when gate is actively pulled low. Use Value: Input capacitance (Ciss = 45pF) and low RDS(ON) preserve rise/fall times below 300ns at 400kHz clock rates. |
| Automotive Body Control | Industrial Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Driving small solenoids or LED indicators in door module ECUs where 12V system voltage must be switched with 3.3V MCU outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-compatible P-channel switch replacing discrete transistor+resistor solutions. Use Value: VGS(TH) ≤ -2.0V ensures full enhancement even with MCU VOH degradation over temperature and voltage tolerance. | Use Scenario: Multiplexing analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistors, RTDs) into a shared ADC channel in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage analog switch maintaining signal integrity across 0–100°C operating range. Use Value: IDSS ≤ -100nA at TJ = +125°C prevents measurable offset error (<10µV) in 16-bit measurement chains. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2041L-7 | RDS(ON) = 4.5Ω @ VGS = -4.5V; SOT23 package; higher ID rating (-200mA) | Lower on-resistance enables higher current loads but requires larger board area and has higher Ciss (60pF) | Select when >150mA load current or lower conduction loss is required; verify SOT23 pad compatibility |
| SI2301DS-T1-GE3 | VGS(TH) = -0.7V min; RDS(ON) = 90mΩ @ VGS = -2.5V; same SOT323 footprint | Superior logic-level drive at lower gate voltage but higher RDS(ON) at -5V (12Ω vs. 10Ω) | Prefer for ultra-low-voltage MCU interfaces (1.8V IO); confirm thermal margin given lower PD rating (350mW) |
Compared with DMN2041L-7 and SI2301DS-T1-GE3, BSS84W-7 offers optimal balance of SOT323 footprint, -50V rating, and verified -130mA capability with JEDEC qualification-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial and portable designs where moderate current and robustness are prioritized over ultra-low RDS(ON).

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BSS84W-7 at 85°C ambient?
At TA = +85°C, the maximum continuous drain current is derated to approximately -80mA, calculated using the 200mW power limit and RDS(ON) increase with temperature (Fig. 5 shows ~12Ω at 125°C junction). This assumes no additional copper pour; PCB layout directly impacts actual usable current.
Can BSS84W-7 be used as a high-side switch with a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its VGS(TH) range (-0.8V to -2.0V) ensures turn-on when the GPIO pulls the gate to ground while the source is at 3.3V. A 10kΩ pull-up resistor from gate to source provides clean turn-off; no level shifter is needed for basic on/off control.
Is BSS84W-7 suitable for analog signal switching above 1MHz?
It supports analog switching up to ~5MHz based on its 45pF Ciss and 10ns tD(ON), but channel resistance variation with VDS (Fig. 2) introduces distortion above 100kHz for precision AC signals. For >1MHz RF or wideband analog, dedicated analog switches are recommended.
Does BSS84W-7 have automotive-grade qualification?
The BSS84W-7 itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, the automotive-compliant variant BSS84WQ is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q200 standards and shares identical electrical specs and SOT323 packaging - use BSS84WQ for automotive body electronics or infotainment subsystems.
