Product details
Overview
DMP2021UTS-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TSSOP-8 package, rated for -20V VDSS, 16mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = -4.5V, and -18A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It delivers low gate threshold (-1.0V max), ESD-protected gate, and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed in battery management and synchronous buck converter high-side switches.
For engineers reviewing the DMP2021UTS-13 datasheet, DMP2021UTS-13 pinout, DMP2021UTS-13 application, or DMP2021UTS-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(ON) at low VGS, thermal resistance (RθJA = 95°C/W with copper pad), SOA compliance under pulsed load, and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a normally-off P-channel switch with gate threshold voltage ranging from -0.35V to -1.0V, enabling direct interface with 1.8V/2.5V logic controllers. Its low RDS(ON) at VGS = -2.5V (22mΩ) supports efficient operation in space-constrained DC-DC converters where gate drive voltage headroom is limited.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = -0.8V to -1.2V at -1.0A, with QRR = 33nC and tRR = 48ns - critical for minimizing shoot-through loss in synchronous rectification. Thermal design is enabled by RθJC = 16°C/W and validated junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -20V - Maximum blocking voltage in high-side switch configuration without avalanche stress. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = -4.5V | 16mΩ max - Enables ≤75mW conduction loss at 4.5A, supporting thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID continuous @ TC = +25°C | -18A - Validated current rating with 1-inch² copper thermal pad, defining maximum steady-state power delivery. |
| VGS(TH) | -0.35V to -1.0V - Ensures turn-on with 1.8V logic-level gate drivers and stable operation across temperature. |
| Qg @ VGS = -4.5V | 34nC - Determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in PWM applications up to 1MHz. |
| RθJA (with copper pad) | 95°C/W - Specifies thermal rise per watt dissipated when mounted on FR-4 with enhanced copper area. |
| EAS | 32mJ - Energy-handling capability during inductive switching events, supporting robustness in motor drive H-bridges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305U-7 | RDS(ON) = 42mΩ @ VGS = -4.5V; smaller SOT-23 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to low-current (<3A), non-automotive applications due to higher on-resistance and thermal resistance. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power consumer designs where board space is critical and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SI2301BDS-T1-GE3 | RDS(ON) = 115mΩ @ VGS = -2.5V; SOT-23-3; lacks ESD protection and AEC-Q101 rating. | Suitable for basic on/off switching below 1A; not viable for synchronous rectification or high-efficiency DC-DC. | Use only for simple load switching where efficiency and reliability requirements are minimal and gate drive voltage exceeds -4.5V. |
Compared with DMG2305U-7 and SI2301BDS-T1-GE3, DMP2021UTS-13 provides 2.6× lower RDS(ON) at -2.5V, 4× higher current rating, and automotive-grade reliability - making it uniquely suited for high-density, high-efficiency power rails in industrial and automotive systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMP2021UTS-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, validated across all operating conditions per the datasheet. Derating begins above +125°C ambient when mounted on a standard FR-4 board with 1-inch² copper; sustained operation above TJ = +135°C requires active cooling or reduced power cycling.
Can DMP2021UTS-13 be used in synchronous rectification without an external gate driver?
No - its gate threshold is too low (-0.35V min) for direct logic-level control in synchronous rectification; a dedicated gate driver with negative turn-off capability (e.g., TC4427 configured for bipolar output) is required to ensure clean, fast turn-off and prevent shoot-through in buck converters.
Does DMP2021UTS-13 have integrated gate protection beyond ESD?
Yes - the device includes a built-in gate protection diode (shown in the equivalent circuit diagram) that clamps transient gate-source voltage to ±10V, preventing damage from overshoot during fast switching or inductive coupling in noisy automotive environments.
How does the TSSOP-8 package's thermal performance compare to SO-8 for this MOSFET?
TSSOP-8 achieves RθJA = 95°C/W with a 1-inch² copper pad - 25% better than typical SO-8 (≈125°C/W) due to thinner mold compound and shorter thermal path to PCB; however, SO-8 offers higher creepage/clearance for >50V isolation-critical designs.
