Product details
Overview
DMP2079LCA3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET optimized for low-voltage load switching in space-constrained portable electronics. It features -20V VDSS, 78 mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = -8V, -3.4A continuous drain current at 25°C, and a 0.225 mm profile in the X4-DSN1006-3 package - enabling compact battery protection circuits in smartphones and wearables.
For engineers reviewing the DMP2079LCA3-7 datasheet, DMP2079LCA3-7 pinout, DMP2079LCA3-7 application, or DMP2079LCA3-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (-0.7 to -1.2 V), low Qg (1.1 nC), thermal resistance (90.4 °C/W on FR-4), and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu terminations - all critical for high-density, thermally sensitive battery management designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a single-polarity, surface-mount power switch with fully specified gate-drive compatibility down to -4.5V, supporting direct interfacing with 3.3V/5V logic controllers. Its low RDS(ON) at low VGS (-4.5V) and minimal Qgd (0.2 nC) enable fast, efficient turn-on/turn-off in synchronous or standalone load-switch configurations.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = -0.7 V at -0.5A and tRR = 7.7 ns, suitable for reverse-current blocking and moderate-frequency freewheeling. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance varies between 90.4 °C/W (min pad layout) and 155.4 °C/W (standard FR-4), directly impacting maximum sustainable power dissipation in handheld PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for battery-side switching up to 2-cell Li-ion systems |
| RDS(ON) | 78 mΩ @ VGS = -8V - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 3.4A, critical for thermal budget in sealed enclosures |
| ID (cont) | -3.4 A @ TA = +25°C - Sustains full-load current in USB-C PD or PMIC output stages without forced cooling |
| Qg | 1.1 nC @ VGS = -4.5V - Reduces gate-drive power and switching transition time in 1–5 MHz load-switch applications |
| RθJA | 90.4 °C/W - Measured on FR-4 with minimum recommended copper pads; defines max power before 125°C junction limit |
| VGS(TH) | -0.9 V (typ) - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V GPIO, eliminating need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Package | X4-DSN1006-3 (Type B) - 1.0 × 0.6 mm footprint, 0.225 mm height, compatible with fine-pitch automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: X4-DSN1006-3 (Type B), ultra-thin 3-terminal DFN with exposed drain pad. Dimensions: 1.00 mm × 0.60 mm × 0.225 mm. Terminals are solderable NiPdAu-plated; backside laminated with protective polymer film.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal (P-channel) | Connected to higher potential rail (e.g., battery anode); referenced for gate drive and current return path |
| 2 (Gate) | Control input | Accepts negative VGS relative to source; low input capacitance (Ciss = 152 pF) eases driving from low-power controllers |
| 3 (Drain) | Switched output | Connected to load; electrically tied to exposed bottom pad for thermal and current conduction - requires dedicated thermal pad on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low gate charge | Qg = 1.1 nC enables <1 µs switching transitions with 10 mA gate drivers - reduces dynamic losses in pulsed load control |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.225 mm height allows stacking under displays or batteries - essential for sub-8 mm smartphone bezel designs |
| Thermally enhanced DFN | Exposed drain pad delivers 90.4 °C/W RθJA on minimal copper - supports 0.81 W steady-state dissipation without heatsinks |
| Halogen- and antimony-free | <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - meets IPC-1752a Class 3 requirements for green consumer electronics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2307L-7 | RDS(ON) = 85 mΩ @ -4.5V; larger SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm); higher RθJA = 200 °C/W | Less suited for ultra-thin devices; better for prototyping due to hand-solderable leads | Select when board space permits and thermal margin >100 °C/W is acceptable |
| AO3401A | RDS(ON) = 85 mΩ @ -4.5V; SO-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm); Qg = 2.3 nC - 110% higher than DMP2079LCA3-7 | Higher gate drive power required; slower switching; not suitable for >2 MHz PWM dimming | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs size, speed, and thermal constraints |
Compared with DMG2307L-7 and AO3401A, DMP2079LCA3-7 delivers superior volumetric efficiency (1.0 × 0.6 mm vs. ≥2.9 mm²), lower dynamic losses (1.1 nC vs. ≥2.3 nC), and tighter thermal resistance (90.4 °C/W vs. ≥200 °C/W), making it the optimal choice for production-grade mobile battery switches where PCB real estate and thermal headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for DMP2079LCA3-7?
The DMP2079LCA3-7 has a rated junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Under continuous DC operation on a standard FR-4 PCB with minimum recommended copper, its maximum allowable power dissipation is 0.81 W at +25°C ambient, dropping to ~0.45 W at +70°C ambient due to thermal derating per RθJA = 90.4 °C/W.
Can DMP2079LCA3-7 be used in high-frequency PWM applications?
Yes - with total gate charge of 1.1 nC and gate-drain charge of 0.2 nC, the DMP2079LCA3-7 supports clean switching up to 5 MHz in load-switch or LED-dimming configurations. Its 7.7 ns reverse recovery time and low Coss (78 pF) further reduce switching losses and EMI generation in high-speed duty-cycle control.
Is the DMP2079LCA3-7 pin-compatible with other X4-DSN1006-3 MOSFETs?
Yes - all X4-DSN1006-3 (Type B) packaged MOSFETs share identical mechanical dimensions and terminal assignments (Source-Gate-Drain). However, electrical characteristics such as VGS(TH), RDS(ON), and Qg differ significantly; substitution requires verification against circuit voltage, current, and timing requirements.
Does DMP2079LCA3-7 require external gate resistors for stability?
No external gate resistor is required for basic on/off operation due to its low Ciss (152 pF) and integrated gate resistance (21 Ω). However, a 10–47 Ω series resistor is recommended when driving from high-impedance sources or when EMI suppression is critical - especially in noisy RF-rich environments like smartphones and wearables.
