Product details
Overview
DMP3160LQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for -30V VDSS, 122mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = -10V, and -2.7A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It serves as a low-side load switch or synchronous rectifier in compact DC-DC converters requiring high efficiency and fast switching.
For engineers reviewing the DMP3160LQ-7 datasheet, DMP3160LQ-7 pinout, DMP3160LQ-7 application, or DMP3160LQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (-1.3 to -2.1V), normalized RDS(ON) stability over -55°C to +150°C, and low 384.4pF Ciss for optimized gate drive loss in high-frequency power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses planar trench technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining tight VGS(TH) distribution and low input capacitance. Its -1.8V typical gate threshold enables direct interface with 3.3V logic-level controllers without level shifting.
The device features integrated body diode with -1.26V forward voltage at -2.7A, supporting bidirectional current flow in buck converter freewheeling paths. Thermal resistance of 115°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, FR-4 PCB) defines its power handling under natural convection conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -30V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; supports 24V rail systems with margin. |
| RDS(ON) | 122mΩ @ VGS = -10V - Conduction loss of 840mW at -2.7A; enables >92% efficiency in 5V→3.3V buck stage. |
| ID (continuous) | -2.7A @ TA = +25°C - Rated current for PCB-mounted operation without heatsink. |
| VGS(TH) | -1.3 to -2.1V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V GPIO or PWM controllers. |
| Ciss | 384.4pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and speeds up switching transitions. |
| tF | 13.4ns - Fast fall time minimizes overlap loss during hard-switched transitions. |
| PD | 1.08W - Power dissipation limit at TA = +25°C; derates linearly above 25°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package (2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin–annealed copper leadframe, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Common return path for load current; tied to system ground in low-side switch configuration. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control input | Receives negative gate drive relative to source; requires <2.1V magnitude to fully enhance. |
| 3 (Drain) | Power output | Connects to load or inductor node; handles full switched current and blocking voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) | 122mΩ @ -10V enables <0.9W conduction loss at 2.7A, reducing thermal stress in space-constrained layouts. |
| Low VGS(TH) | -1.8V typical threshold allows direct drive from 3.3V microcontrollers without external level shifters. |
| Fast switching | 4.8ns tD(ON) and 13.4ns tF minimize dead-time losses in synchronous rectification. |
| Low leakage | <800nA IDSS at -30V ensures minimal standby power draw in battery-powered systems. |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) meets IPC-1752A Class 3 requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG3415L-7 | RDS(ON) = 42mΩ @ -4.5V (lower), but VDSS = -20V (reduced voltage margin) | Better suited for 5V/3.3V logic rails only; unsuitable for 24V systems due to lower breakdown rating | Select when VIN ≤ 12V and lowest possible RDS(ON) is critical |
| AO3401 | RDS(ON) = 115mΩ @ -4.5V (slightly lower), Ciss = 420pF (higher), no AEC-Q200 qualification | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; lacks automotive-grade traceability and PPAP support | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where automotive compliance is not required |
Compared with DMG3415L-7 and AO3401, DMP3160LQ-7 offers optimal balance of -30V robustness, 122mΩ RDS(ON) at logic-compatible -4.5V, and full RoHS/halogen-free compliance-making it preferred for industrial power management where voltage margin and regulatory alignment are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for DMP3160LQ-7 at 70°C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is -2.0A at TA = +70°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SOT23 package on standard FR-4 PCB with no forced airflow or heatsinking.
Does DMP3160LQ-7 have an integrated ESD protection diode?
No, DMP3160LQ-7 does not include integrated ESD protection diodes. The device meets HBM ESD rating of ±2kV per JEDEC JS-001, but external TVS or RC filtering is recommended for gate protection in noisy environments.
Can DMP3160LQ-7 be used in automotive applications?
DMP3160LQ-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates from -55°C to +150°C, Diodes specifies that automotive-grade versions require explicit AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP documentation, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to this part number.
What is the gate charge required to fully switch DMP3160LQ-7 at -4.5V?
The total gate charge Qg is 4.0nC when driven from 0V to -4.5V, as measured at VDS = -15V and ID = -3A. This value determines minimum gate driver current needed for target switching speed in high-frequency applications.
