Product details
Overview
CSD17552Q3A from Texas Instruments is a 30 V, 5.5 mΩ N-channel NexFET™ power MOSFET in an 8-pin SON (VSONP-DNH) package, optimized as a control FET in high-frequency synchronous buck converters for networking and telecom systems, delivering ultra-low Qg (9.0 nC) and Qgd (2.3 nC) to minimize switching losses.
For engineers reviewing the CSD17552Q3A datasheet, CSD17552Q3A pinout, CSD17552Q3A application, or CSD17552Q3A equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V (6.5 mΩ), avalanche rating (45 mJ), thermal resistance (RθJA = 60°C/W on 1-in² Cu), and SON 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm footprint compatibility with space-constrained POL designs.
Technical Context
The CSD17552Q3A employs a silicon-limited, trench-gate NexFET™ structure enabling low gate charge and fast switching-td(on) = 7.2 ns, tr = 7.4 ns-with integrated body diode (VSD = 0.8 V at 11 A) suitable for synchronous rectification. Its 8-pin VSONP package features an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
Designed specifically for control-FET operation in 30 V input POL converters, it operates across –55°C to 150°C junction temperature, supports ±20 V gate drive, and maintains stable RDS(on) over temperature (normalized drift <1.2× from –55°C to 125°C at VGS = 4.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 24 V nominal input rails and transient margin. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 6.5 mΩ - Enables efficient 12–24 V input, high-current control-FET operation without gate-boosting circuitry. |
| Qg | 9.0 nC - Reduces gate-drive power loss and enables >1 MHz switching in compact DC/DC modules. |
| Qgd | 2.3 nC - Minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching robustness. |
| EAS | 45 mJ - Rated unclamped inductive avalanche energy supports reliable operation during load dump or shoot-through events. |
| RθJA | 60°C/W - Achievable with 1 in² 2-oz Cu pad; enables 15 A continuous current at TA = 25°C without forced air. |
| VGS(th) | 1.5 V (typ) - Ensures clean turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: VSONP (DNH), 8-pin plastic no-lead with exposed thermal pad (3.3 mm × 3.3 mm, max height 0.9 mm); requires soldering of thermal pad to PCB for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Drain | Internally paralleled drain terminals; connect directly to high-side switch node and thermal pad for low-inductance, low-resistance path. |
| 6 | Gate | Single gate input; low Ciss (1580–2050 pF) minimizes driver loading and EMI generation. |
| 7, 8 | Source | Dual source terminals; provide low-impedance return path for gate drive and sense; critical for stable Miller clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low Qg and Qgd | Reduces gate-drive loss and dv/dt-induced false turn-on risk in high-frequency synchronous buck topologies. |
| Low RθJC (2.3°C/W) | Enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink or copper plane, supporting 60 A pulsed current (IDM) without thermal runaway. |
| Avalanche-rated | Guarantees ruggedness under inductive switching stress without external snubbers in point-of-load applications. |
| SON 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm package | Provides 30% smaller footprint than SO-8 while maintaining comparable RDS(on) and thermal performance. |
| Pb-free, RoHS, halogen-free | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-1 (260°C peak reflow) and global environmental compliance requirements. |
Applications
| Server VRM Control FET | Telecom 48 V Intermediate Bus Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency, multi-phase 12 V input → 0.8–1.8 V output VRMs powering CPU/GPU in data center servers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary high-side control MOSFET in synchronous buck stage, switching at 500 kHz–1 MHz with precise dead-time control. Use Value: Ultra-low Qgd (2.3 nC) reduces cross-conduction risk and improves light-load efficiency by minimizing gate drive loss. | Use Scenario: 48 V intermediate bus → 12 V or 5 V conversion in 5G base station power supplies with strict thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Control FET in primary buck stage operating at 300–600 kHz, paired with low-side sync FET. Use Value: 6.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V enables use of 5 V gate drive, eliminating need for bootstrap or charge-pump circuitry. |
| Networking Switch ASIC Power Delivery | Industrial PLC I/O Module POL |
Use Scenario: Compact 3.3 V or 5 V POL regulators feeding high-speed SerDes and packet processing ASICs in enterprise switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Control FET in 30 V input buck converter where board area and thermal density are critical. Use Value: 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm SON package saves >40% PCB area vs. SO-8 while maintaining 15 A continuous current capability. | Use Scenario: Distributed 24 V → 3.3 V/5 V regulation for isolated digital I/O channels in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Control FET in non-isolated buck regulator requiring extended temperature operation (–40°C to 85°C ambient). Use Value: Stable VGS(th) (1.1–1.9 V) and normalized RDS(on) ensure consistent turn-on behavior across industrial temperature range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel control-FET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSD17573Q5B | Higher RDS(on) (9.3 mΩ @ 4.5 V), larger 5 mm × 6 mm SON package, higher Qg (15.5 nC) | Better suited for lower-frequency, higher-current applications where thermal mass outweighs switching loss priority | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and system operates below 300 kHz. |
| SiR872DP | Same 30 V rating but higher Qgd (3.7 nC), higher RDS(on) (7.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V), different pinout (no exposed pad) | Lacks thermal pad; requires more complex thermal design and exhibits higher Miller-induced switching distortion | Choose only if legacy layout reuse prevents adoption of exposed-pad packages. |
Compared with CSD17552Q3A, CSD17573Q5B trades switching efficiency for higher current handling in larger-area designs, while SiR872DP sacrifices thermal performance and Miller immunity for pinout compatibility with older SO-8 footprints-neither is pin-compatible with CSD17552Q3A.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the CSD17552Q3A at 25°C ambient temperature?
The CSD17552Q3A supports 15 A continuous drain current at TA = 25°C with typical RθJA = 60°C/W on a 1 in² 2-oz Cu PCB. This rating assumes proper thermal pad soldering and natural convection cooling; exceeding this current requires derating or active cooling per the SOA curve in Figure 4-10.
Does the CSD17552Q3A require a gate resistor for stable operation in a 500 kHz synchronous buck converter?
The CSD17552Q3A benefits from a small gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) to damp ringing and control dV/dt, especially given its low Qgd (2.3 nC) and fast switching (tr = 7.4 ns). While not strictly required, a 2.2 Ω resistor is recommended to prevent oscillation and reduce EMI without significantly impacting efficiency.
Can the CSD17552Q3A be used as a synchronous rectifier (low-side FET) in addition to its control-FET role?
Yes-the CSD17552Q3A's low RDS(on) (5.5 mΩ @ 10 V), low Qrr (17 nC), and fast trr (15 ns) make it suitable as a synchronous rectifier in buck converters where gate drive is referenced to source. However, its optimized gate charge profile favors control-FET use; dedicated sync-FET variants may offer better body-diode recovery in high-dV/dt environments.
What is the recommended PCB land pattern for the CSD17552Q3A's exposed thermal pad?
Texas Instruments recommends a symmetrical 3.1 mm × 3.1 mm solder mask-defined thermal pad with 8× 0.3 mm diameter vias (0.25 mm annular ring) connecting to internal ground or thermal planes. The example layout in SLPS387C specifies 76% solder paste coverage on the exposed pad to balance voiding risk and thermal transfer-critical for achieving rated RθJA.
Is the CSD17552Q3A qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No-the CSD17552Q3A is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is specified for industrial and computing applications with operating junction temperature from –55°C to 150°C, but lacks automotive-specific qualification testing (e.g., HTOL, UHAST, ESD). For automotive use, TI offers AEC-Q101-qualified NexFET™ variants such as CSD17578Q3A.
