Product details
Overview
DMP2160UWQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET rated for -20V VDSS, 100 mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = -4.5V, and -1.5A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP-capable, and designed for automotive engine management systems and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DMP2160UWQ-7 datasheet, DMP2160UWQ-7 pinout, DMP2160UWQ-7 application, or DMP2160UWQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate threshold voltage (-0.4 to -0.9 V), SOT323 package thermal resistance (360 °C/W), and guaranteed low input capacitance (627 pF CISS) for fast switching in space-constrained automotive power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a high-side load switch in automotive power rails, leveraging its negative VGS(th) for simple gate drive with standard logic-level signals. Its low RDS(ON) and 627 pF input capacitance enable efficient 12V system switching with minimal gate charge requirements.
The device uses a planar trench process optimized for stable parametric performance across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its 350 mW power dissipation rating and 360 °C/W RθJA are validated on 1 in² FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper, supporting thermally constrained body control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -20 V - Withstands reverse battery transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−100 V clamp not required) |
| RDS(ON) | 100 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V - Enables ≤150 mW conduction loss at 1.2 A in 12V body electronics |
| ID (continuous) | -1.5 A @ TA = +25°C - Supports typical solenoid driver and LED matrix loads in BCMs |
| CISS | 627 pF @ VDS = −10 V - Reduces gate drive energy and enables <100 ns turn-on in 3.3V MCU-controlled switches |
| VGS(th) | -0.6 V typ. - Allows direct interface with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry |
| PD | 350 mW - Limits board area needed for thermal relief in SOT323 footprint on thin PCBs |
| RθJA | 360 °C/W - Defines worst-case junction rise of 126°C above ambient at full 350 mW dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic case (2.15 mm × 2.10 mm × 0.95 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin–annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control electrode; accepts logic-level negative bias to turn on P-channel channel; requires no external pull-up in high-side configuration |
| 2 (S) | Source | Connected to supply rail (e.g., +12V); defines reference for gate drive and carries full load current |
| 3 (D) | Drain | Switched output node; connects to load (e.g., relay coil or LED anode); reverse-biased body diode conducts during inductive flyback |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) | 75 mΩ typ. @ VGS = −4.5 V reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy P-MOSFETs in 12V BCM power rails |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including thermal cycling (−40°C to +125°C), ESD (HBM ≥2 kV), and mechanical shock |
| Low gate threshold | VGS(th) down to −0.4 V ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3V microcontroller outputs without gate drivers |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br+Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets automotive OEM environmental mandates |
Applications
| Engine Management Systems | DC-DC Converters |

Use Value: Fast 1.2 μs ton/0.8 μs toff (typ.) ensures <1% duty-cycle error at 1 kHz, critical for flicker-free illumination. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2016LFG-7 | RDS(ON) = 90 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V; SOT23 package; higher RθJA (400 °C/W) | Lower power density; less suitable for thermally dense BCM layouts | Select when existing SOT23 footprint reuse is prioritized over thermal performance |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(ON) = 115 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V; non-AEC-Q101; 300 mW PD | Not qualified for automotive production; limited to industrial prototypes | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC compliance is waived |
Compared with DMN2016LFG-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, the DMP2160UWQ-7 delivers superior thermal performance in SOT323, AEC-Q101 certification for production deployment, and tighter VGS(th) distribution-making it optimal for safety-critical 12V load switching where reliability and parametric consistency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for DMP2160UWQ-7?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±10 V per the datasheet's Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this risks irreversible oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should be clamped between −10 V and 0 V, with −4.5 V recommended for full RDS(ON) specification compliance and long-term reliability in automotive temperature ranges.
Does DMP2160UWQ-7 include integrated ESD protection?
Yes-the device is qualified to AEC-Q101, which includes HBM ESD testing to ≥2 kV. The internal structure incorporates gate oxide protection diodes and field-plate design to withstand transient events common in automotive harnesses, eliminating need for external TVS devices in most 12V load-switch applications.
Can DMP2160UWQ-7 be used in parallel configurations?
No-its negative temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) causes current hogging under mismatched thermal conditions. Parallel use is not recommended unless active current balancing (e.g., individual source resistors or closed-loop sensing) is implemented, which negates the SOT323 size advantage and increases BOM cost.
Is the SOT323 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-DMP2160UWQ-7 is fully RoHS 2 compliant (2011/65/EU) with no intentionally added lead, halogen-free (<900 ppm Br+Cl), and antimony-free (<1000 ppm). Terminal finish is matte tin annealed over Alloy 42, verified solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
