Product details
Overview
ZVP2106AS from Zetex Semiconductors (now Diodes Incorporated) is a P-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET in TO-92 package, rated for -60 V VDS, 5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -280 mA continuous drain current. It operates across -55 °C to +150 °C and serves as a low-side load switch in battery-powered instrumentation and low-voltage logic-level power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZVP2106AS datasheet, ZVP2106AS pinout, ZVP2106AS application, or ZVP2106AS equivalent, key selection criteria include verified gate threshold voltage (-1.5 to -3.5 V), pulsed drain capability (-4 A), thermal derating behavior, and TO-92-compatible footprint compatibility with legacy ZVP2106A designs.
Technical Context
This device uses vertical DMOS architecture to achieve stable RDS(on) over temperature and low gate charge (Qg ≈ 4.5 nC typical). Its enhancement-mode operation requires negative gate bias relative to source to conduct, making it suitable for high-side or low-side switching where gate drive is referenced to system ground or rail.
Electrical characteristics are specified under pulsed conditions (300 µs width, ≤2% duty cycle) to avoid self-heating effects. Switching parameters-td(on) = 7 ns, tr = 15 ns, td(off) = 12 ns, tf = 15 ns-are measured with 50 Ω source impedance and sub-5 ns rise-time pulse generators, confirming suitability for medium-speed digital switching up to ~10 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -60 V - Maximum reverse drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction |
| RDS(on) | 5 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -500 mA - On-resistance determines conduction loss and junction heating under load |
| ID (cont) | -280 mA @ Tamb = 25 °C - Continuous DC current rating with standard PCB copper area (TO-92) |
| VGS(th) | -1.5 to -3.5 V @ ID = -1 mA - Gate threshold range defines minimum negative bias needed for turn-on |
| Ciss | 100 pF @ VDS = -18 V, VGS = 0 V - Input capacitance affects gate drive strength requirements and switching speed |
| Ptot | 700 mW @ Tamb = 25 °C - Total power dissipation limit at ambient temperature, derates linearly above 25 °C |
| gfs | 150 mS @ VDS = -18 V, ID = -500 mA - Transconductance indicates gain of gate voltage to drain current |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (E-Line compatible), through-hole, 3-pin plastic case with standard D-G-S terminal assignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | High-side current return path | Connected to negative supply rail or load return; carries full switched current |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | Receives negative voltage relative to source to enable conduction; high-impedance input |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive | Bonded to PCB ground or common reference; defines VGS measurement point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Vertical DMOS construction | Enables stable RDS(on) over temperature and reduced thermal resistance vs planar MOSFETs |
| Enhancement-mode operation | Ensures default-OFF state without gate bias-critical for fail-safe power control |
| Low gate threshold spread | VGS(th) range (-1.5 to -3.5 V) supports reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers |
| Fast switching performance | Sub-20 ns rise/fall times support efficient PWM control in portable DC-DC and LED dimming |
| Wide operating temperature | -55 °C to +150 °C junction range allows deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVP2106A | Identical electrical specs; same TO-92 package but non-suffix variant (no 'S' suffix) | No functional difference; 'S' denotes enhanced screening or tape-and-reel packaging per Diodes Inc. internal revision | Select ZVP2106AS when traceable reel packaging or extended quality screening is required |
| DMG2305UVT | SO-8 package, -1.8 V VGS(th) max, 44 mΩ RDS(on), -4.2 A ID - higher performance, surface-mount | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; suited for higher-current, space-constrained designs | Choose DMG2305UVT only if board layout allows SO-8 and >500 mA load current is needed |
Compared with ZVP2106AS, ZVP2106A offers identical electrical behavior in through-hole form, while DMG2305UVT delivers lower on-resistance and higher current in surface-mount format-making the former ideal for legacy replacement and the latter for new compact designs requiring higher efficiency.

FAQ
Is ZVP2106AS suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes, ZVP2106AS can be used in high-side configuration when the gate is driven negative relative to the source (e.g., using a charge pump or isolated driver). Its -60 V VDS rating and -3.5 V maximum VGS(th) support reliable turn-on with gate voltages down to -10 V, though level-shifting circuitry is required for MCU-compatible control.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous use?
The device supports continuous operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. At ambient temperatures above 25 °C, power dissipation must be derated linearly at 5.6 mW/°C (based on 700 mW @ 25 °C and thermal resistance RθJA ≈ 179 °C/W for standard TO-92 mounting).
Does ZVP2106AS have built-in ESD protection?
No, ZVP2106AS does not integrate ESD protection diodes. The gate oxide is sensitive to static discharge; handling requires standard ESD precautions (grounded workstation, ionized air, anti-static packaging), and external gate resistors or TVS clamps are recommended in high-noise environments.
Can ZVP2106AS replace ZVP2106 in existing designs?
Yes, ZVP2106AS is a direct replacement for ZVP2106 with identical pinout, electrical specifications, and TO-92 mechanical dimensions. The 'S' suffix reflects updated packaging (tape-and-reel) and potentially tighter process controls per Diodes Incorporated's post-acquisition standardization, with no functional or reliability trade-offs.
