Product details
Overview
ZVP0120AS from Zetex Semiconductors (now Diodes Incorporated) is a P-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET in TO-92 package, designed for low-power switching and load control in high-voltage DC circuits. It features −200 V VDS, 32 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = −10 V, −110 mA continuous drain current, and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C - used in battery protection, relay drivers, and telecom line interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZVP0120AS datasheet, ZVP0120AS pinout, ZVP0120AS application, or ZVP0120AS equivalent, key selection criteria include verified −200 V blocking capability, gate-threshold voltage range (−1.5 V to −3.5 V), pulsed current rating (−1 A), thermal derating behavior, and TO-92 mechanical compatibility with legacy ZVP0120A designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a vertical DMOS structure optimized for high-voltage, low-current switching with minimal gate charge (Qg not specified but inferred from Ciss = 100 pF, Coss = 25 pF, Crss = 7 pF). Its enhancement-mode operation requires negative gate bias relative to source to conduct, supporting high-side switch configurations where source is tied to positive rail.
Electrical behavior is characterized by strong temperature dependence: RDS(on) increases ~2.4× from −40 °C to +125 °C, while VGS(th) shifts negatively with rising temperature - critical for stable turn-on in wide-temperature industrial controls.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −200 V: Maximum reverse drain-source voltage before avalanche breakdown; enables use in 100–150 V DC bus applications with safety margin. |
| RDS(on) | 32 Ω @ VGS = −10 V, ID = −125 mA: On-resistance determines conduction loss and self-heating in linear or saturated switching modes. |
| ID (continuous) | −110 mA @ Tamb = 25 °C: Absolute max steady-state current; derates to zero at ~100 °C case temperature per thermal resistance data. |
| VGS(th) | −1.5 V to −3.5 V @ ID = −1 mA: Gate threshold span defines minimum drive voltage needed for reliable turn-on across temperature and process variation. |
| Ciss/Coss/Crss | 100 pF / 25 pF / 7 pF @ VDS = −25 V: Input/output/reverse transfer capacitances govern switching speed and gate driver power requirements. |
| td(on)/tr/td(off)/tf | 7 ns / 15 ns / 12 ns / 15 ns: Fast switching times support >1 MHz operation in low-duty-cycle pulse applications like LED strobing or sampling gates. |
| Ptot | 700 mW @ Tamb = 25 °C: Total power dissipation limit under free-air conditions; actual usable power depends on PCB copper area and ambient airflow. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in E-Line TO-92 compatible package (3-lead plastic through-hole), with standard pin assignment: Lead 1 = Drain, Lead 2 = Gate, Lead 3 = Source (viewed from flat side, leads down).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Lead 1) | High-voltage output node | Connected to negative supply or load return; withstands −200 V and carries switched current path. |
| Gate (Lead 2) | Control input | Receives negative voltage relative to source to enable conduction; high-impedance MOS input requiring no steady-state current. |
| Source (Lead 3) | Reference node | Tied to circuit common or positive rail in high-side configuration; defines gate drive reference and carries return current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Vertical DMOS construction | Enables −200 V breakdown in compact TO-92 package without requiring stacked or cascode topologies. |
| Enhancement-mode P-channel | Ensures default-OFF behavior - safe during power-up or controller reset; eliminates need for pull-down resistors in gate drive. |
| Wide operating temperature range | −55 °C to +150 °C junction rating supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and telecom outdoor cabinets. |
| Low gate charge profile | Inferred from Ciss = 100 pF and fast switching times - reduces gate driver power and enables efficient operation with low-current microcontroller GPIOs. |
| TO-92 mechanical compatibility | Direct replacement for ZVP0120A in existing footprints; same lead form, dimensions, and soldering profile per E-Line spec 3-406. |
Applications
| Battery Protection Circuit | Telecom Line Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection in 24–48 V battery-powered systems such as UPS modules and portable test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side P-channel switch controlling battery connection to system load; activated only when valid input voltage and polarity are confirmed. Use Value: −200 V VDS provides headroom against load-dump transients up to 150 V; 32 Ω RDS(on) limits power loss to <100 mW at 50 mA load current. | Use Scenario: Isolation and surge clamping in analog telephone line interface cards handling ring signal (−90 V) and tip/ring reversal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-clamped series switch that disconnects line during fault conditions while maintaining DC continuity during normal operation. Use Value: Verified −200 V blocking ensures immunity to lightning-induced surges; TO-92 package allows dense placement near RJ-11 connectors without thermal crowding. |
| Relay Driver Stage | Low-Power HV Bias Supply |
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for electromagnetic relays in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and HVAC control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-current, high-voltage switch driving relay coil (typically 12–48 V, <100 mA) from microcontroller GPIO via level-shifting circuitry. Use Value: −110 mA continuous rating matches typical relay coil currents; fast 7 ns turn-on delay enables precise timing of actuation sequences in synchronized control loops. | Use Scenario: Adjustable bias generation for photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) or ionization sensors requiring stable −100 to −180 V DC with microampere load current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element regulating high-voltage output from flyback converter, controlled by feedback loop referencing source node. Use Value: RDS(on) stability over temperature ensures consistent regulation accuracy; 150 °C max Tj supports sealed enclosure operation without forced cooling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVP2106A | −60 V VDS, 1.8 Ω RDS(on), TO-92 - lower voltage, much lower on-resistance | Not suitable for >−60 V applications; better for 12–24 V logic-level switching with higher current | Select only if system voltage ≤−40 V and RDS(on) <5 Ω is required for efficiency. |
| DMN2013LFG-7 | −20 V VDS, 0.15 Ω RDS(on), SOT-23 - logic-level, surface-mount, far lower voltage rating | Designed for 3.3/5 V microcontroller direct drive; incompatible with high-voltage rails | Choose only for space-constrained, low-voltage, high-current digital load switching. |
Compared with ZVP0120AS, ZVP2106A trades −200 V capability for 17× lower RDS(on) at reduced voltage, while DMN2013LFG-7 sacrifices all high-voltage utility for ultra-low on-resistance and SMT compatibility - neither offers drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
Is ZVP0120AS pin-compatible with ZVP0120A?
Yes - ZVP0120AS is a direct replacement for ZVP0120A, sharing identical TO-92 package outline, lead assignment (D-G-S), and electrical specifications per Issue 2 datasheet. The "S" suffix denotes enhanced screening or packaging consistency, not functional change.
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZVP0120AS in continuous DC mode?
The absolute maximum VDS is −200 V, but continuous operation should be limited to ≤−160 V to maintain reliability margin against voltage spikes and temperature-induced drift. Derating to −120 V is recommended for designs requiring >10-year field life at elevated ambient temperatures.
Can ZVP0120AS be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - its VGS(th) range (−1.5 V to −3.5 V) requires negative gate voltage relative to source. A level-shifter or charge pump is necessary to generate ≥−4.5 V gate drive; direct 3.3 V GPIO cannot turn it on reliably.
Does ZVP0120AS have built-in ESD protection?
No - the datasheet does not specify ESD rating or integrated protection diodes. External gate protection (e.g., 10 kΩ series resistor + 10 V Zener to source) is strongly recommended in handling and PCB layout to prevent gate oxide damage from static discharge.
