Product details
Overview
DNLS160V from Diodes Incorporated is a low VCE(SAT) NPN surface-mount transistor in SOT-563 package, rated for 60 V VCEO, 1 A continuous collector current, and 300 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient. It delivers 140–250 mΩ RCE(SAT) at 1 A/100 mA drive and meets AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability, used in compact DC-DC converter switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the DNLS160V datasheet, DNLS160V pinout, DNLS160V application, or DNLS160V equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCE(SAT) ≤140 mV at IC = 1 A/IB = 100 mA, hFE ≥165 at 1 A, fT ≥150 MHz, and SOT-563 thermal resistance of 417°C/W on FR-4 PCB.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low saturation voltage. Its ultra-small SOT-563 footprint supports high-density automated assembly while maintaining thermal performance via copper leadframe and matte tin terminations.
Designed for switching applications requiring fast turn-on (ton = 90 ns) and controlled storage time (ts = 220 ns), it operates across –55°C to +150°C with validated leakage <100 nA under VCB = 60 V and VCE = 60 V conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 60 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC (cont.) | 1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating at TA = 25°C with derating above 25°C per Fig. 1. |
| VCE(SAT) | 140 mV @ IC = 1 A, IB = 100 mA - Confirmed low conduction loss enabling efficient switching in 5–12 V load-switching circuits. |
| hFE | 165 min @ IC = 1 A, VCE = 5 V - Sufficient DC gain to sustain saturation with modest base drive in space-constrained designs. |
| fT | 150 MHz min - Enables use in medium-frequency switching (e.g., PWM up to ~50 MHz effective edge rate) without gain collapse. |
| RθJA | 417 °C/W - Measured on standard FR-4 board (1″ × 0.85″); defines thermal headroom for 300 mW max power at TJ ≤150°C. |
| toff | 300 ns - Total turn-off delay + storage + fall time; critical for minimizing switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-563 - ultra-compact 6-pin surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (pin 3 and 4 are emitter and collector respectively; pins 1, 2, 5, 6 are base connections in dual-base configuration).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Base (dual-connected) | Four parallel base terminals reduce series resistance and improve drive efficiency for high-current switching. |
| 3 | Emitter | Main emitter terminal; internally connected to thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in PCB layout. |
| 4 | Collector | Primary collector node; designed for low-inductance routing to minimize switching ringing in high-dI/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(SAT) | 140 mV at 1 A ensures <0.14 W conduction loss, reducing thermal load in battery-powered load switches. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test standards. |
| SOT-563 footprint | 2.2 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.5 mm body enables placement in <3 mm² board area-critical for wearables and sensor modules. |
| Green/RoHS compliant | No purposefully added lead; uses UL 94V-0 molding compound and matte tin over copper-supports environmental compliance programs. |
| High fT | 150 MHz minimum allows stable operation in feedback-controlled switching regulators with >10 MHz loop bandwidths. |
Applications
| Automotive LED Headlamp Driver | USB-C Load Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-side switching of 12 V LED arrays in adaptive front lighting systems (AFS) with PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN switch controlling current path between battery rail and LED string; driven by MCU GPIO with 100 mA base current. Use Value: VCE(SAT) ≤140 mV limits power loss to <140 mW at 1 A, avoiding heatsink requirement in sealed lamp housings. | Use Scenario: Inrush current limiting and fault isolation for USB-C power delivery (5–20 V) ports in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss pass element in discrete load switch topology; controlled by dedicated PMIC enable signal. Use Value: RCE(SAT) = 140 mΩ ensures <140 mW dissipation at 1 A, enabling single-device thermal management without derating. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Compact DC-DC Converter Top-Switch |
Use Scenario: Discrete transistor stage amplifying and level-shifting analog sensor outputs (e.g., RTD bridges) into ADC input range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter amplifier biased at IC = 500 mA with hFE = 280 for stable gain and low noise floor. Use Value: fT ≥150 MHz supports bandwidth >10 MHz for high-speed sensor sampling without phase lag. | Use Scenario: High-frequency synchronous rectifier or top-switch in 3.3 V/5 V buck converters operating at 500 kHz–1 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching NPN transistor in non-isolated step-down regulator; driven by gate driver with 25 mA base current. Use Value: toff = 300 ns and ts = 220 ns minimize dead-time losses and improve light-load efficiency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPLS160V | Complementary PNP type; identical SOT-563 package, same VCEO/IC/VCE(SAT) specs but opposite polarity. | Required only in complementary push-pull or H-bridge output stages-not direct functional replacement. | Select only when designing symmetric bipolar output drivers where matched NPN/PNP characteristics are mandatory. |
| MMBT4401LT1G | Higher VCEO (40 V vs. 60 V), lower IC (600 mA), higher VCE(SAT) (750 mV @ 500 mA), SOT-23 package (larger footprint, worse thermal resistance). | Not suitable for 60 V bus or 1 A loads; limited to low-voltage logic-level switching below 30 V. | Choose only if design operates ≤30 V and requires legacy SOT-23 compatibility-avoid for new 60 V/1 A applications. |
Compared with DPLS160V and MMBT4401LT1G, DNLS160V uniquely supports 60 V operation, 1 A continuous current, and ultra-low 140 mV saturation voltage in the smallest SOT-563 footprint-making it optimal for space- and efficiency-critical automotive and portable power switches.

FAQ
Is DNLS160V suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes. DNLS160V is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, with guaranteed operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, moisture sensitivity level 1, and validated reliability for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD. Its SOT-563 package and green molding compound meet automotive environmental requirements.
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance?
Use Diodes' suggested pad layout AP02001: 1-inch × 0.85-inch FR-4 board with thermal vias under the exposed emitter/collector pads (pins 3 and 4). Maintain ≥0.2 mm solder mask clearance around all terminals and avoid copper pours that impede convection cooling.
Does DNLS160V support 100% duty-cycle DC operation?
No. At 25°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation is 300 mW. With RθJA = 417°C/W, sustained 1 A current (requiring ≥140 mW conduction loss) is thermally viable only if ambient stays ≤115°C-derating is mandatory above 25°C per Fig. 1.
Can DNLS160V replace DSS4160V in existing designs?
No. DSS4160V is a dual-NPN transistor in SOT-363 package with different pinout, gain profile, and saturation behavior. DNLS160V has single-NPN topology, SOT-563 pin assignment, and distinct hFE vs. IC curve-direct substitution would require schematic and layout revision.
