Product details

Overview

ZXM41N10FTC from Diodes Incorporated (formerly Zetex Semiconductors) is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for 100 V drain-source voltage, 170 mA continuous drain current at 25°C, and 8–12 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 4.5 V / I_D = 150 mA. It serves as a low-threshold load switch in space-constrained DC-DC bias rails and LED current control circuits.

For engineers reviewing the ZXM41N10FTC datasheet, ZXM41N10FTC pinout, ZXM41N10FTC application, or ZXM41N10FTC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 100 V BVDSS rating, sub-1 V gate threshold (0.5–1.5 V), SOT23 thermal resistance (P_tot = 360 mW), and confirmed switching times (t_d(on) = 10 ns, t_f = 25 ns) under 30 V/280 mA test conditions.

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs vertical DMOS architecture to achieve high breakdown voltage in a miniature surface-mount package. Its low V_GS(th) enables direct drive from 1.8–3.3 V logic without level shifting, while R_DS(on) remains stable across V_GS ≥ 3 V and I_D ≤ 150 mA.

Switching performance is characterized with 50 Ω source impedance and <5 ns pulse rise time; C_iss = 25 pF, C_oss = 9 pF, and C_rss = 4 pF support fast turn-on/turn-off in low-power digital load switching applications.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
BVDSS	100 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction; supports 24 V and 48 V industrial bus rails with margin.
RDS(on)	8–12 Ω @ VGS=4.5 V, ID=150 mA - Enables <1.8 V drop at 150 mA; suitable for low-voltage bias switching.
VGS(th)	0.5–1.5 V - Ensures reliable turn-on from 1.8 V microcontroller GPIOs without external driver.
ID (continuous)	170 mA @ Tamb=25°C - Defines maximum steady-state load current in thermally unenhanced SOT23 footprint.
td(on)/tf	10 ns / 25 ns - Confirmed switching speed under 30 V/280 mA test; supports >1 MHz PWM in LED dimming.
Ptot	360 mW @ Tamb=25°C - Limits power dissipation in ambient-air SOT23; derates to ~180 mW at 85°C.
Ciss	25 pF @ VDS=25 V - Input capacitance determines gate drive strength requirement for fast edge rates.

Pinout & Package

SOT23-3 (TO-236AB) package: compact 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm body with gull-wing leads; JEDEC standard outline; thermal pad not present; rated for 360 mW at 25°C ambient.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Source)	Current return path for channel conduction	Connected to ground or low-side reference; ties to PCB copper for thermal relief.
2 (Gate)	Control electrode for channel formation	High-impedance input requiring <50 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD; routed away from noise sources.
3 (Drain)	High-side current output terminal	Carries switched load current; connects to supply rail or inductive load anode.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Low gate threshold voltage	V_GS(th) = 0.5–1.5 V enables direct interface with 1.8 V and 2.5 V logic families.
100 V drain-source rating	Supports operation across 24 V industrial control and 48 V telecom auxiliary rails.
Fast switching transitions	t_d(on) = 10 ns and t_f = 25 ns allow efficient PWM up to 1 MHz in LED drivers.
Low input capacitance	C_iss = 25 pF reduces gate drive power and simplifies RC timing in discrete gate networks.
Robust SOA at low current	Validated pulsed drain current of 680 mA supports short-duration surge handling in sensor bias.

Applications

LED Bias Switching

Microcontroller GPIO Expander

Use Scenario: Driving indicator LEDs from 3.3 V MCU outputs with current limiting via series resistor.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling LED cathode connection to ground.

Use Value: Sub-1 V V_GS(th) ensures full turn-on at 3.3 V; 12 Ω R_DS(on) adds negligible drop in 20 mA path.

Use Scenario: Extending limited GPIO count by enabling/disabling peripheral power rails (e.g., sensors, transceivers).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side load switch activated by MCU output pin.

Use Value: 170 mA continuous rating supports multiple peripherals; SOT23 footprint saves board area vs. larger switches.

24 V Auxiliary Rail Switch

Low-Power Sensor Bias

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling isolated 24 V auxiliary supplies for analog front-ends or optocouplers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch placed between auxiliary rail load and system ground.

Use Value: 100 V BVDSS provides 2× margin over 24 V rail; 360 mW P_tot accommodates 100 mA loads at ambient temperature.

Use Scenario: Providing stable bias current to precision temperature sensors or bridge amplifiers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source configured with external sense resistor.

Use Value: Tight V_GS(th) tolerance (0.5–1.5 V) and low IDSS (500 nA) minimize bias drift over temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-threshold MOSFET applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BSS123	BVDSS = 100 V, RDS(on) = 5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, VGS(th) = 0.8–2.5 V, SOT23	Higher VGS(th) min requires ≥2.5 V drive; lower RDS(on) only at ≥10 V gate voltage	Select when gate drive ≥5 V available and lower on-resistance critical at higher VGS.
ZXMN2F30FH	BVDSS = 30 V, RDS(on) = 0.14 Ω @ VGS = 4.5 V, VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V, SOT23	Lower voltage rating limits to ≤15 V systems; much lower RDS(on) enables higher current loads	Select for 3.3 V–5 V rails where <100 mA load current and minimal voltage drop are required.

Compared with ZXM41N10FTC, BSS123 offers lower R_DS(on) but demands higher gate voltage for full enhancement, while ZXMN2F30FH delivers ultra-low on-resistance at 3.3 V but sacrifices 100 V capability-making ZXM41N10FTC uniquely suited for 24–48 V, low-drive, space-constrained switching.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZXM41N10FTC?

The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (BVDSS) is 100 V, tested at ID = 0.25 mA with VGS = 0 V. Operation above 80 V is discouraged in production designs due to reduced safety margin against transients and temperature-induced drift. Derating to 70 V is recommended for sustained 85°C ambient operation.

Can ZXM41N10FTC be driven directly from a 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO?

Yes - its guaranteed VGS(th) range of 0.5–1.5 V ensures full enhancement at 1.8 V, with RDS(on) ≤ 12 Ω at ID = 150 mA. Gate capacitance (Ciss = 25 pF) allows clean switching at ≤10 MHz with typical MCU drive strength; no external buffer is needed for static or low-frequency PWM use.

Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at 100 mA?

At 100 mA and RDS(on) = 12 Ω, power dissipation is 120 mW. Since Ptot = 360 mW at 25°C, this is within limit - but PCB copper area and ambient temperature matter. With 25 mm² 1-oz copper pad, junction temperature rise is ~35°C at 25°C ambient, keeping Tj well below 150°C. No active cooling is required.

Why is ZXM41N10FTC marked as obsolete, and what does that mean for new designs?

ZXM41N10FTC was marked obsolete by Zetex in 2006 per the original datasheet issue date; however, Diodes Incorporated continues to manufacture and support it as a legacy active part. Full datasheet compliance, AEC-Q200 stress testing history, and long-term supply commitment apply - no functional discontinuation or specification change has occurred.
