Product details
Overview
DMP3165L-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for -30V VDSS, 90mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = -10V, and -3.3A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or load switch in compact DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DMP3165L-7 datasheet, DMP3165L-7 pinout, DMP3165L-7 application, or DMP3165L-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (-1.3 to -2.1V), low input capacitance (300pF Ciss), fast switching (3.7ns tD(ON)), thermal resistance (98°C/W with copper pad), and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low RDS(ON) while preserving fast turn-on/turn-off dynamics. Its -2.1V maximum VGS(TH) enables direct logic-level drive from 3.3V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with VSD = -0.83V @ IS = -2.7A and exhibits low Qgd/Qg ratio (0.5nC / 2.0nC), supporting high-frequency PWM operation up to 1MHz in buck converter topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -30V - supports 24V rail derating and transient clamping in industrial power supplies |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ @ VGS = -10V - limits conduction loss to ≤0.8W at 3A, enabling thermally constrained layouts |
| ID (continuous) | -3.3A @ TA = +25°C - sufficient for 5–10W point-of-load converters with minimal heatsinking |
| Ciss | 300pF - reduces gate drive power requirement and EMI generation in high-speed switching |
| tD(ON) | 3.7ns - enables clean edge control in 500kHz–1MHz synchronous rectification |
| VGS(TH) | -1.3 to -2.1V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V GPIOs, eliminating external bias networks |
| PD (with pad) | 1.3W - achievable on FR-4 with 1-inch² copper pour, supporting unregulated thermal design |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case, 0.008g weight, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for P-channel channel | Connected to higher potential rail; referenced for gate drive and body diode cathode |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel inversion | Low-input-capacitance node requiring <2nC total charge for full enhancement |
| 3 (Drain) | Main current output terminal | Connected to load or switching node; carries reverse recovery current during freewheeling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at -4.5V | 134mΩ - enables 3.3V logic-driven operation in battery-powered systems without gate boosters |
| Fast switching speed | tF = 8.4ns - minimizes overlap loss in synchronous buck converters operating >300kHz |
| Low gate leakage | ±80nA @ VGS = ±12V - prevents unintended turn-on in high-impedance gate drive circuits |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, <900ppm Br/Cl - meets IPC-1752A Class 3 material declarations for automotive Tier 1 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3165L-7 | N-channel counterpart with identical RDS(ON) and package; requires high-side gate driver | Used in high-side switch configurations where bootstrap or charge-pump drive is available | Select when topology permits N-channel use for lower gate charge and better RDS(ON) scalability |
| AO3401 | Higher RDS(ON) (85mΩ @ -4.5V vs. 134mΩ); larger Ciss (490pF); same SOT23 footprint | Preferred in cost-sensitive consumer power banks where 5% efficiency loss is acceptable | Choose only if BOM cost reduction outweighs thermal derating and EMI impact in high-frequency designs |
Compared with DMN3165L-7 and AO3401, DMP3165L-7 uniquely balances logic-level drivability, low dynamic losses, and thermal performance in space-constrained P-channel roles-making it optimal for 3.3V-controlled buck stages and USB PD protection where gate simplicity and efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMP3165L-7?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C per the datasheet. Operation above +125°C requires derating of continuous current to maintain reliability; at +150°C ambient, the device supports only ~1.1A continuous due to RDS(ON) increase and thermal resistance limitations.
Can DMP3165L-7 be used in linear regulator pass transistor applications?
No-it is not characterized or qualified for linear mode operation. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows pulse-limited capability only; sustained linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) and lack of SOA-rated DC dissipation.
Does DMP3165L-7 require a gate resistor for stability in switching applications?
A gate resistor (typically 10–47Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance and PCB trace inductance. Without it, measured VGS overshoot exceeds ±20V rating under fast-edge drive, risking long-term gate oxide degradation.
Is the body diode of DMP3165L-7 suitable for reverse-current blocking in bidirectional power paths?
Yes-the body diode has VSD = -0.83V typical at -2.7A and tRR = 6.5ns, making it suitable for reverse-blocking in USB Type-C DRP applications when paired with appropriate gate control logic to prevent shoot-through.
