Product details
Overview
SSM4K27CTTPL3 from Toshiba is a silicon N-channel MOSFET in the U-MOSⅢ process, designed for low-voltage switching applications. It features a 20 V drain-source breakdown voltage, maximum RDS(ON) of 205 mΩ at VGS = 4.0 V, and operates with gate threshold voltage between 0.5 V and 1.1 V - enabling efficient control in compact DC-DC converters and load switches.
For engineers reviewing the SSM4K27CTTPL3 datasheet, SSM4K27CTTPL3 pinout, SSM4K27CTTPL3 application, or SSM4K27CTTPL3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 mW FR4-board power dissipation rating, low-input-capacitance (174 pF Ciss) for fast switching, and guaranteed operation across −55°C to 150°C storage temperature range.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET uses Toshiba's U-MOSⅢ trench-gate structure to achieve low on-resistance and high cell density in a small surface-mount package. Its gate threshold voltage (0.5–1.1 V) and sub-1-V turn-on capability support direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic, while RDS(ON) remains under 390 mΩ even at VGS = 1.8 V.
Switching performance is characterized by 10 ns turn-on and 12 ns turn-off times under standard test conditions (VDD = 10 V, ID = 0.25 A, RG = 4.7 Ω), with capacitance values (Ciss = 174 pF, Crss = 25 pF, Coss = 31 pF) optimized for high-frequency operation in portable power management circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - supports input rails up to 18 V in battery-powered systems without derating |
| RDS(ON) max @ VGS = 4.0 V | 205 mΩ - enables ≤500 mW conduction loss at 0.5 A continuous drain current |
| ID (DC) | 0.5 A - suitable for low-power load switching and signal routing in space-constrained PCBs |
| Vth range | 0.5–1.1 V - ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V microcontroller GPIO |
| Ciss | 174 pF - limits gate drive power requirement and supports >1 MHz PWM operation |
| PD (FR4) | 400 mW - defined on 25.4 × 25.4 × 1.6 mm board with 645 mm² copper pad |
| Tstg | −55°C to +150°C - compatible with automotive cabin and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SSM4K27CTTPL3 is housed in the ultra-small 2-1M1A surface-mount package (1.2 × 0.8 × 0.45 mm, 1.1 mg typical weight), with drain terminals on pins 3 and 4, source on pin 2, and gate on pin 1 - confirmed per Toshiba's official electrode layout diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Control terminal requiring <±1 μA leakage; driven directly by 1.8 V logic with margin |
| 2 | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to system ground or low-side return path |
| 3 & 4 | Drain | Parallel-connected output terminals; handle full load current and dissipate heat via PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| U-MOSⅢ trench-gate process | Enables 205 mΩ RDS(ON) in 1.2 × 0.8 mm footprint - critical for miniaturized power stages |
| Low Vth with tight distribution | 0.5–1.1 V range ensures consistent turn-on across production lots without external level-shifting |
| Low Crss (25 pF) | Minimizes Miller effect during switching - improves noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments |
| High channel temperature rating | 150°C Tch allows sustained operation in thermally dense layouts without forced cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AO3400 | RDS(ON) = 28 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V; higher drive voltage required for optimal RDS(ON) | Better efficiency above 3.3 V logic, but less suitable for 1.8 V direct drive | Choose AO3400 only if gate drive ≥3.3 V is available and lower RDS(ON) justifies larger SO-23 footprint |
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(ON) = 220 mΩ @ VGS = 2.5 V; similar 20 V rating and 1.2 × 0.8 mm DFN package | Near-identical form factor and low-VGS performance; slightly higher RDS(ON) at 1.8 V | DMN2004LK-7 offers comparable 1.8 V drive capability and same footprint - viable second-source option |
Compared with AO3400 and DMN2004LK-7, the SSM4K27CTTPL3 delivers tighter Vth distribution for robust 1.8 V operation and lower Ciss, reducing gate drive losses in high-frequency switching - making it preferable for ultra-low-power, size-constrained designs where gate voltage headroom is limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SSM4K27CTTPL3 at 25°C?
The SSM4K27CTTPL3 has a maximum DC drain current (ID) of 0.5 A at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a standard FR4 board (25.4 × 25.4 × 1.6 mm, 645 mm² Cu pad). This rating assumes no additional heatsinking and accounts for the device's 400 mW power dissipation limit and thermal resistance to ambient.
Does SSM4K27CTTPL3 support 1.8 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the SSM4K27CTTPL3 supports 1.8 V logic-level gate drive: its gate threshold voltage (Vth) ranges from 0.5 V to 1.1 V, and RDS(ON) is specified at 390 mΩ max with VGS = 1.8 V and ID = 0.10 A. This ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with modern low-voltage MCUs and PMICs.
What is the package type and dimensions of SSM4K27CTTPL3?
The SSM4K27CTTPL3 uses Toshiba's 2-1M1A package - a 4-pin, bottom-terminal DFN measuring 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.45 mm (typ.), with pins 3 and 4 both connected to the drain. Its ultra-compact size and 1.1 mg weight make it suitable for wearables and ultra-thin portable electronics.
How does the RDS(ON) of SSM4K27CTTPL3 vary with temperature?
RDS(ON) of the SSM4K27CTTPL3 increases with junction temperature: at ID = 0.1 A and VGS = 1.8 V, RDS(ON) rises from ~250 mΩ at 25°C to ~400 mΩ at 125°C, per Toshiba's published RDS(ON) vs. Ta curve. Designers must account for this positive temperature coefficient in thermal margining.
Is SSM4K27CTTPL3 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the SSM4K27CTTPL3 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per Toshiba's environmental compliance documentation. Full material declarations and test reports are available upon request through authorized Toshiba distributors or Aetrix Electronics' technical support team.
