Product details

Overview

ZVP2106ASTOA from Zetex Semiconductors (now Diodes Incorporated) is a P-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET designed for low-power switching and load management in compact DC-DC converters, battery protection circuits, and level-shifting interfaces. It features -60 V V_DS, 5 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = -10 V, -280 mA continuous drain current, and TO-92-compatible E-Line package.

For engineers reviewing the ZVP2106ASTOA datasheet, ZVP2106ASTOA pinout, ZVP2106ASTOA application, or ZVP2106ASTOA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified gate threshold voltage (-1.5 to -3.5 V), pulsed drain capability (-4 A), junction temperature range (-55 to +150 °C), and input/output capacitance values (C_iss = 100 pF, C_oss = 60 pF) under defined test conditions.

Technical Context

This device operates as a normally-off P-channel MOSFET with vertical DMOS architecture optimized for low gate charge (Q_g ≈ 2.4 nC per typical curve) and fast switching (t_d(on) = 7 ns, t_f = 15 ns). Its transconductance g_fs = 150 mS at V_DS = -18 V and I_D = -500 mA supports stable gain in analog switching and regulated bias applications.

The -60 V breakdown voltage and -100 µA maximum I_DSS at V_DS = -48 V / T = 125 °C confirm suitability for industrial-grade 24 V and 48 V rail monitoring. Normalized R_DS(on) vs. temperature data shows <20% drift from -40 °C to +125 °C, enabling predictable conduction loss across thermal extremes.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	-60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; defines use in ≤48 V systems with margin
R_DS(on)	5 Ω @ V_GS = -10 V, I_D = -500 mA - Conduction loss of ~1.25 W at rated current
I_D (cont)	-280 mA @ T_amb = 25 °C - Thermal-limited steady-state current in TO-92 package
V_GS(th)	-1.5 to -3.5 V @ I_D = -1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level negative gate drive
C_iss	100 pF @ V_DS = -18 V - Determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed sensitivity
t_d(off)	12 ns @ V_DD ≈ -18 V, I_D = -500 mA - Critical for high-frequency PWM control in DC-DC feedback paths
P_tot	700 mW @ T_amb = 25 °C - Package-limited power dissipation without heatsinking

Pinout & Package

E-Line TO-92-compatible plastic package with 3-terminal through-hole mounting; lead-forming compatible with standard PCB hole patterns for manual or wave soldering.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Drain (D)	High-side switch output node	Connected to positive supply rail in high-side configuration; carries full load current
Gate (G)	Control input	Receives negative voltage relative to source to enable conduction; requires <20 nA leakage handling
Source (S)	Reference terminal	Biased at system ground or load return; defines V_GS reference for threshold operation

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Vertical DMOS structure	Enables higher cell density and lower R_DS(on) per die area than planar P-MOSFETs
Low gate threshold spread	V_GS(th) tolerance of ±1.0 V ensures consistent turn-on across production lots
Fast switching times	Combined t_d(on) + t_r + t_d(off) + t_f = 49 ns supports >5 MHz PWM in discrete regulators
High-temperature stability	R_DS(on) drift <20% over -40 to +125 °C enables unheatsinked operation in sealed enclosures
TO-92 mechanical compatibility	Direct replacement for legacy ZVP2106A in existing through-hole layouts without footprint change

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
ZVP3306A	V_DS = -60 V, R_DS(on) = 3.5 Ω, I_D = -450 mA - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (3.2 nC)	Better efficiency at >300 mA loads; less suitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes due to higher C_iss (130 pF)	Select when conduction loss dominates over switching loss in 1–10 kHz applications
DMN2004LK-7	V_DS = -20 V, R_DS(on) = 2.8 Ω, SOT-23 package - lower voltage rating, surface-mount only	Not usable in 48 V systems; requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly and thermal relief	Choose only for space-constrained 5–12 V designs where TO-92 footprint is unavailable

Compared with ZVP2106ASTOA, ZVP3306A improves conduction efficiency but increases gate drive demand, while DMN2004LK-7 sacrifices voltage headroom and package compatibility for miniaturization-neither is drop-in replaceable without circuit validation.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZVP2106ASTOA in continuous DC applications?

The absolute maximum V_DS is -60 V, but continuous operation should be limited to ≤-48 V to maintain reliability margin per JEDEC JESD78 guidelines. At -48 V and 25 °C ambient, I_DSS remains ≤-100 µA even at 125 °C junction temperature, confirming stable blocking performance.

Can ZVP2106ASTOA be used as a high-side switch with 0 V gate drive?

No - it is enhancement-mode and requires negative V_GS to conduct. With gate at 0 V and source tied to +V_IN, V_GS = -V_IN; thus, it conducts only when V_IN ≥ |V_GS(th)| (≥1.5 V). For true 0 V gate control, a level-shifting circuit or dedicated high-side driver is required.

How does R_DS(on) change with temperature, and what impact does this have on thermal design?

R_DS(on) increases ~0.5%/°C above 25 °C, reaching ~1.18× nominal at 125 °C junction. At -280 mA, power dissipation rises from 392 mW to ~463 mW - still within the 700 mW P_tot limit, allowing operation without heatsinking in free-air conditions up to 70 °C ambient.

Is ZVP2106ASTOA RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?

Yes - as a Diodes Incorporated product, ZVP2106ASTOA meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The TO-92 package uses matte tin-plated leads and epoxy molding compound compliant with IPC-4101D/126.
