Product details
Overview
ZVN4206GVTC from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET in SOT223 package, rated for 60V VDSS, 1Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, and 1A continuous drain current. It serves as a logic-level power switch in automotive relay drivers and stepper motor drivers, delivering low conduction loss with robust repetitive avalanche capability.
For engineers reviewing the ZVN4206GVTC datasheet, ZVN4206GVTC pinout, ZVN4206GVTC application, or ZVN4206GVTC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V logic-compatible gate threshold (1.3–3V), 15mJ repetitive avalanche energy rating, and SOT223 thermal performance enabling compact high-efficiency power stage designs without external transient protection.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a vertical DMOS structure optimized for low RDS(on) while preserving fast switching: td(on) = 8ns, tr = 12ns, td(off) = 12ns, and tf = 15ns under 25V VDD, 10V gate drive, and 1.5A load. Its transconductance gfs = 300mS ensures strong gate control at low VGS.
The device is characterized for 5V logic drive, features a ±20V VGS rating, and supports operation from –55°C to +150°C. Its 1Ω on-resistance at VGS = 10V and 1.5Ω at VGS = 5V enables reliable turn-on with standard microcontroller I/Os without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60V - supports 48V automotive rail and industrial 24V/36V systems with margin |
| RDS(on) | 1Ω @ VGS = 10V - limits I²R loss to ≤1W at 1A, enabling thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| ID (cont) | 1A @ TA = +25°C - suitable for low-power solenoid, LED, and small motor loads |
| VGS(th) | 1.3–3V - fully enhances with 3.3V or 5V MCU GPIO, eliminating need for gate driver IC |
| EAR | 15mJ repetitive avalanche - withstands inductive kickback from relays and stepper windings without snubbers |
| Ciss | 100pF - reduces gate drive power and enables clean switching with low-impedance 5V sources |
| Ptot | 2W @ TA = +25°C - compatible with SOT223 copper-pad thermal relief on 2-layer boards |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-pin outline with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. Molded plastic body, UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output | Exposed metal tab - electrically connected to Drain; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal and electrical continuity |
| Source | Return path for load current | Common reference node for gate drive; ties to ground or low-side return in high-side switch configurations |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOSFET terminal; requires <100nA leakage handling and ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 |
| Drain (Pin 1) | Redundant drain connection | Secondary drain pin - paralleled internally with tab; improves current sharing and mechanical reliability in high-vibration environments |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | 15mJ per pulse - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in relay and inductive load switching |
| 5V logic drive compatible | VGS(th) max = 3V - ensures full enhancement using standard 3.3V/5V microcontroller outputs |
| No transient protection required | Integrated avalanche ruggedness - reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained automotive modules |
| Lead-free & Halogen-free | RoHS 3 compliant, <900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets automotive AEC-Q200 material requirements |
| SOT223 thermal performance | 2W Ptot at TA = +25°C - enables >0.8W dissipation on 1-in² 2oz copper with minimal heatsinking |
Applications
| Automotive Relay Driver | Stepper Motor Phase Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12V/24V automotive electromagnetic relays in body control modules and lighting controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling relay coil current; handles 1A inrush and 600mA hold current. Use Value: Avalanche rating absorbs 15mJ coil flyback energy, removing need for external freewheeling diode and saving 2.5mm² PCB area. | Use Scenario: Full-step or half-step phase switching in bipolar stepper motors up to 1A/phase in printer and HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel power switch in H-bridge leg; switched at ≤20kHz with <35ns total transition time. Use Value: 1Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to ≤1W per phase, enabling silent microstepping without forced air cooling. |
| Low-Power LED Driver | Industrial Solenoid Control |
Use Scenario: PWM dimming of high-brightness LEDs in dashboard backlighting and status indicators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side current switch modulated at 1–5kHz; driven directly by MCU PWM pin. Use Value: 3V VGS(th) max ensures stable on-state at 3.3V logic, preventing partial turn-on and thermal runaway during dimming. | Use Scenario: On/off control of 24V DC solenoids in factory automation valves and pneumatic controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch interfacing with PLC digital output; sustains 1A steady-state and 8A pulsed current. Use Value: 8A IDM rating accommodates solenoid inrush without derating, supporting 100% duty cycle operation at ambient ≤85°C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVN4206A | Same die, different marking; identical VDSS, RDS(on), and avalanche rating | No functional difference; used interchangeably in legacy designs | Select when sourcing from older inventory batches or distributor stock with A-suffix marking |
| DMN3020LSD | 30V VDSS, 20mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5V, SO-8 package - lower on-resistance but halved voltage rating | Better for 5V/12V logic-controlled loads; unsuitable for 24V+ automotive rails | Choose only for low-voltage, high-current applications where 30V margin is sufficient and SO-8 thermal mass is acceptable |
Compared with ZVN4206A, the ZVN4206GVTC offers identical performance with updated traceability; versus DMN3020LSD, it trades lower RDS(on) for 60V robustness and SOT223 board-area efficiency-critical for automotive space constraints.

FAQ
Is ZVN4206GVTC qualified to AEC-Q101?
ZVN4206GVTC is designed and tested to meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors. While not pre-certified as a standalone part number, Diodes provides AEC-Q101 qualification reports upon request and supports PPAP documentation for automotive customers. The device is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for ZVN4206GVTC?
The junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at 1A, thermal design must limit TJ ≤150°C. With typical SOT223 PCB layout (1-in² 2oz copper), maximum ambient temperature is ~85°C at full load. Derating is required above this point per the datasheet's thermal resistance curve.
Can ZVN4206GVTC be used in high-side switching configurations?
Yes, ZVN4206GVTC can be used in high-side configuration, but requires a gate drive voltage ≥VDS + VGS(th) (i.e., ≥63V for 60V load). A dedicated high-side driver or charge pump is necessary-unlike low-side use, it cannot be driven directly from 3.3V/5V logic. Layout must minimize source inductance to avoid shoot-through.
Does ZVN4206GVTC require a gate resistor?
A gate resistor (typically 10–100Ω) is recommended to damp ringing and control dV/dt during switching. While not mandatory for basic on/off operation, it prevents oscillation caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 20pF) interacting with PCB trace inductance, especially at >10kHz PWM frequencies.
