Product details
Overview
ZXM61P03FTC from Diodes Incorporated (formerly Zetex) is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET with VBRDSS = −30 V, RDS(on) = 0.35 Ω @ VGS = −10 V, ID = −1.1 A, fast switching (td(on) = 1.9 ns), and SOT23 package - used as a low-side load switch in portable DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ZXM61P03FTC datasheet, ZXM61P03FTC pinout, ZXM61P03FTC application, or ZXM61P03FTC equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = −1.0 V), body diode forward voltage (VSD = −0.95 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 155 °C/W), and total gate charge (Qg = 4.8 nC).
Technical Context
This device operates as a single P-channel power switch with depletion-free enhancement-mode behavior, requiring negative gate drive relative to source. Its low RDS(on) and sub-2 ns turn-on delay support high-efficiency synchronous rectification and battery-powered load control.
Designed for surface-mount operation on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers 806 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient and derates linearly at 6.4 mW/°C - validated under pulsed conditions (300 µs width, 2% duty cycle) per JEDEC JESD24-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | −30 V: Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction |
| RDS(on) | 0.35 Ω @ VGS = −10 V, ID = −0.6 A: Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 600 mA load |
| VGS(th) | −1.0 V (min): Ensures full enhancement with logic-level gate drive (e.g., 3.3 V MCU GPIO) |
| Qg | 4.8 nC: Supports efficient 1–2 MHz switching with ≤10 Ω gate resistor |
| td(on) | 1.9 ns: Minimizes dead-time losses in synchronous buck topologies |
| VSD | −0.95 V @ IS = −0.6 A: Limits reverse-current path loss during freewheeling |
| RθJA | 155 °C/W: Specifies junction-to-ambient thermal rise on standard FR4 layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (TO-236AB) package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case with gull-wing leads; pin 1 = Gate, pin 2 = Drain, pin 3 = Source (top view, marking side up, notch left).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts negative VGS to modulate channel conductivity; low Ciss (140 pF) reduces drive power |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side current sink | Rated for −30 V blocking; connects to input rail in high-side switch or output node in low-side configuration |
| 3 (Source) | Reference terminal / current return | Bonded to PCB ground plane; serves as body diode anode and gate reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at low VGS | 0.55 Ω @ VGS = −4.5 V enables 3.3 V logic-compatible switching without level shifters |
| Fast switching speed | 1.9 ns turn-on + 5.0 ns fall time supports >1 MHz DC-DC operation with minimal overlap loss |
| Low gate charge | 4.8 nC total charge reduces gate driver power and EMI during transitions |
| Integrated body diode | 14.8 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 7.7 nC Qrr suit discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Load Switch | USB Port Power Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power to peripheral modules in handheld medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side P-channel MOSFET configured as active-high load switch with internal pull-down. Use Value: 0.35 Ω RDS(on) limits dropout to <350 mV at 1 A, preserving battery runtime. | Use Scenario: Overcurrent-protected 5 V power delivery to USB peripherals in embedded hubs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protected disconnect switch placed between upstream port and downstream connector. Use Value: −1.0 V VGS(th) ensures clean turn-off when host controller pulls gate high (0 V), preventing backfeed. |

Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 3.3 V/1 A buck-derived converter for IoT sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronously commutated low-side switch replacing Schottky diode in flyback secondary. Use Value: 4.8 nC Qg allows gate drive from same controller used for primary FET, reducing component count. | Use Scenario: Low-voltage (<12 V) brushed DC motor direction control in automotive seat adjusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in half-bridge topology driving motor winding to battery rail. Use Value: −30 V VBRDSS provides 2× margin over 12 V nominal system, accommodating load-dump transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ VGS = −4.5 V; higher ID = −4.2 A; SOT-23 package | Higher current handling suits 2–3 A loads; lower RDS(on) reduces conduction loss by >85% | Select when board space permits same footprint and load exceeds 1.1 A continuous |
| AO3401 | RDS(on) = 0.085 Ω @ VGS = −4.5 V; Qg = 5.5 nC; VBRDSS = −30 V | Lower gate charge than DMG2305UVT but higher than ZXM61P03FTC; optimized for 1–2 MHz PWM | Prefer when gate drive strength is limited and switching frequency exceeds 1.5 MHz |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and AO3401, ZXM61P03FTC offers the lowest gate charge (4.8 nC) and tightest VGS(th) tolerance (−1.0 V min), making it optimal for ultra-low-power, logic-level-controlled load switching where drive capability is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for ZXM61P03FTC?
The device has a specified junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. With RθJA = 155°C/W on standard FR4, sustained 625 mW dissipation raises junction temperature by ~97°C above ambient - limiting continuous operation to ≤53°C ambient at full rated current to stay within 150°C max Tj.
Can ZXM61P03FTC be used in high-side switch configurations?
Yes - as a P-channel device, it is inherently suited for high-side switching. However, gate drive must be referenced to the source (i.e., pulled down to load voltage), requiring either a charge pump or level-shifting circuit to achieve sufficient VGS swing when the source is at VIN.
Does ZXM61P03FTC have avalanche rating?
No avalanche energy rating (EAS) is specified in the datasheet. The device is rated for repetitive pulsed drain current (IDM = −4.3 A), but operation beyond VBRDSS = −30 V should be avoided unless externally clamped, as no ruggedness testing or SOA curves are provided.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse polarity protection?
Yes - the integrated body diode blocks reverse current when source is grounded and drain is connected to input. With VSD = −0.95 V at −0.6 A, it provides effective protection with <1 W dissipation at 1 A, though external Schottky may be preferred for <0.3 V drop requirements.
