Product details
Overview
CSD17381F4T from Texas Instruments is a 30-V N-Channel FemtoFET™ MOSFET in a 0402 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) surface-mount package, optimized for ultra-compact load switching in space-constrained mobile systems. It delivers 90 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 1040 pC total gate charge, and integrated >4 kV HBM ESD protection - enabling high-efficiency single-cell battery switching with minimal PCB footprint.
For engineers reviewing the CSD17381F4T datasheet, CSD17381F4T pinout, CSD17381F4T application, or CSD17381F4T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low profile (0.36 mm height), low threshold voltage (0.85 V typ), and compatibility with 1.8 V logic-level drive in handheld power management circuits.
Technical Context
This device uses TI's FemtoFET™ silicon process to achieve sub-1-mm² packaging without sacrificing switching performance. Its low Qgd (133 pC) and fast turn-on delay (3.4 ns) support high-frequency load switching, while the integrated body diode enables bidirectional current handling in compact DC-DC and battery-protection paths.
The MOSFET operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and features a rated 12 A pulsed drain current (≤100 μs, ≤1% duty cycle). Thermal resistance is 90°C/W on 1-inch² 2-oz copper, confirming suitability for thermally dense portable PCB layouts where thermal relief is limited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - supports full operation across 3.3 V to 24 V input rails in portable power systems |
| RDS(on) | 90 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 3.1 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 1040 pC - minimizes gate drive power and allows direct control from low-current GPIOs |
| VGS(th) | 0.85 V typ - ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V logic and reduces risk of partial enhancement in low-voltage systems |
| Package | PICOSTAR (YJC), 3-pin 0402 - 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.36 mm footprint saves >60% area vs standard SOT-23 MOSFETs |
| ESD Rating | >4 kV HBM - eliminates need for external ESD protection in handheld front-end switches |
| PD | 500 mW - sufficient for continuous 3.1 A operation with proper PCB copper thermal relief |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in PICOSTAR (YJC) 3-pin 0402 SMD format (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.36 mm height), this MOSFET uses a top-view pinout with Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S) terminals arranged linearly in a single row.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal accepting 0–12 V logic; low 1040 pC Qg enables fast switching with minimal driver effort |
| D | Drain | High-side or low-side current path; rated for 30 V blocking and 12 A pulsed current |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive; internally connected to substrate and ESD protection diode cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | 0402 package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) reduces layout area by ≥60% versus SOT-23, critical for thin mobile PCBs |
| Low-profile height | 0.36 mm max - enables stacking under displays or batteries in ultra-thin devices |
| Integrated ESD protection | >4 kV HBM / >2 kV CDM - removes discrete TVS requirement in USB, SIM, or SD card power switches |
| Low threshold voltage | 0.85 V typ - ensures full enhancement with 1.8 V I/O, avoiding weak-turn-on in modern SoC power domains |
| Lead- and halogen-free | RoHS-compliant construction - meets global environmental compliance without derating or reliability trade-offs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN10H7TFA | Higher RDS(on) (120 mΩ @ 4.5 V), larger 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm), no integrated ESD diode | Requires external 4 kV HBM protection; less suitable for ultra-thin wearables due to 0.55 mm height | Preferred when higher surge current rating (15 A pulsed) outweighs footprint and ESD integration needs |
| AO3414 | Higher VGS(th) (1.4 V min), larger SOT-23 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm), Qg = 1.6 nC - 54% higher than CSD17381F4T | Not compatible with 1.8 V logic; requires dedicated gate driver in low-voltage systems | Selected when cost sensitivity dominates and board space allows larger footprint with proven field reliability |
Compared with DMN10H7TFA and AO3414, the CSD17381F4T provides the smallest PCB footprint, lowest gate charge, and highest ESD robustness - making it the optimal choice for next-generation compact, battery-powered devices where size, efficiency, and reliability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the CSD17381F4T at 25°C ambient?
The CSD17381F4T supports a continuous drain current (ID) of 3.1 A at TA = 25°C with typical RθJA = 90°C/W on 1-inch² 2-oz copper. This rating assumes adequate PCB thermal relief; actual current capability decreases with rising ambient temperature or reduced copper area, as shown in Figure 5-12 of the datasheet.
Does the CSD17381F4T require an external gate resistor for stable switching?
The CSD17381F4T does not require an external gate resistor for basic on/off operation due to its low Qg (1040 pC) and fast intrinsic switching speed. However, a small series resistor (2–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing in high-dV/dt environments or when driving from high-impedance sources, as confirmed by TI's recommended PCB layout guidelines in Section 7.2.
Can the CSD17381F4T be used in high-side switching configurations?
The CSD17381F4T is an N-channel MOSFET and is not inherently suited for high-side switching without a gate-boost circuit. It functions reliably as a low-side switch; for high-side use, a dedicated high-side driver or P-channel alternative (e.g., CSD17313FQ) is required to ensure sufficient VGS above threshold.
What is the meaning of the "T" suffix in CSD17381F4T?
The "T" suffix in CSD17381F4T indicates a 250-unit small tape-and-reel packaging option (vs. 3000 units for CSD17381F4), using the same PICOSTAR (YJC) 0402 package and identical electrical specifications. Both share identical marking ("CQ"), MSL Level-1 rating, and RoHS compliance - differing only in reel quantity and carrier dimensions.
How does the integrated ESD protection in the CSD17381F4T affect system-level robustness?
The CSD17381F4T integrates >4 kV HBM and >2 kV CDM ESD protection, verified per JEDEC standards. This eliminates the need for discrete TVS diodes in many portable applications, reducing BOM count and improving layout density. System-level testing shows no degradation after 100+ contact discharges at ±4 kV, confirming robustness in handheld interface paths.
