Product details
Overview
ZXM64N03XTC from Zetex Semiconductors is a 30V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOIC-8 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ VGS = 10V, ID = 3.7A, and fast switching with tr = 4.5 ns and Qg = 27 nC. It serves as a low-voltage power switch in DC–DC converters and load disconnect circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZXM64N03XTC datasheet, ZXM64N03XTC pinout, ZXM64N03XTC application, or ZXM64N03XTC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30V VBR(DSS), 1.0V VGS(th), body diode VSD = 0.95V, thermal resistance RθJA = 70°C/W (FR4 PCB), and SOIC-8 footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a high-density planar structure optimized for low RDS(on) and minimal gate charge, enabling high-efficiency operation at 3.3V–5V logic-level drive. Its 1.0V threshold voltage ensures reliable turn-on with standard microcontroller GPIOs.
Dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 950 pF, Coss = 200 pF, and td(off) = 20.5 ns-are characterized under standardized test conditions (VDD = 5V, RG = 6.2Ω) and remain stable across junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR(DSS) | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction; defines safe operating range in 24V bus applications. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10V | 0.045 Ω - Enables ≤165 mW conduction loss at 3.7A, critical for thermally constrained DC–DC stages. |
| ID (continuous, TA=70°C) | 4.0 A - Sustained current capability on standard FR4 PCB without forced airflow. |
| Qg | 27 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with low-power gate drivers. |
| tr/tf | 4.5 ns / 8 ns - Fast edge rates reduce switching losses in high-frequency (>500 kHz) PWM designs. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0 V (min) - Ensures full enhancement with 1.8V/3.3V logic, eliminating need for level-shifting circuitry. |
| RθJA (FR4) | 70 °C/W - Thermal resistance measured on FR4 board; supports 1.8W dissipation at ΔT = 126°C above ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9mm × 4.9mm, 1.27mm pitch), surface-mount, low-profile design per Zetex package drawing ZXM64N03X.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts logic-level input; 100nA leakage ensures low standby current. |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to power ground in low-side switch configuration. |
| 3 (D) | Drain | High-current output path; internally connected to 3 parallel drain pins (pins 4, 5, 6) for reduced inductance. |
| 4,5,6 (D) | Drain (multi-pin) | Shared drain terminals reduce package inductance and improve current sharing in pulsed operation. |
| 7 (S) | Source | Second source connection; improves thermal and electrical path to PCB copper pour. |
| 8 (G) | Gate | Redundant gate pin for improved layout symmetry and reduced gate loop inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0V min enables direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V MCUs without external level shifters. |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5V | 0.060 Ω @ VGS = 4.5V, ID = 1.9A - maintains efficiency in battery-powered systems with limited gate drive voltage. |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = 0.95V @ IS = 3.7A - supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters. |
| Fast reverse recovery | trr = 24.5 ns, Qrr = 19.1 nC - minimizes shoot-through risk and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| SOIC-8 thermal performance | RθJA = 70°C/W on FR4 - exceeds typical SOIC-8 MOSFETs by ~25%, enabling higher continuous current in space-constrained layouts. |
Applications
| Buck Converter Power Stage | Load Disconnect Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 5V-to-3.3V point-of-load converter in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier switch with integrated body diode. Use Value: 0.045Ω RDS(on) reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. comparable 30V MOSFETs, improving thermal margin at 3A load. | Use Scenario: Controlled power-up sequencing for FPGA I/O banks requiring isolated 1.2V/1.8V rails. IC Role / Device Role: Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) electronic fuse with fast turn-off. Use Value: 20.5ns td(off) and 8ns tf enable sub-microsecond fault isolation, preventing downstream damage during overcurrent events. |

Use Value: 30A pulsed drain current rating supports peak torque surges without derating; Qg = 27nC allows 1MHz PWM without excessive gate driver power. | Use Scenario: Inrush current limiting and hot-swap protection for USB-C PD 3.0 20V/5A power paths. IC Role / Device Role: Reverse-polarity protected, low-RDS(on) load switch with body-diode forward conduction. Use Value: VSD = 0.95V ensures <100mV forward drop at 3A, meeting USB-C voltage tolerance specs while minimizing heat generation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3025LSD-13 (Diodes Inc.) | RDS(on) = 0.025Ω @ 4.5V (lower), but SO-8 package has RθJA = 80°C/W (worse thermal). | Better efficiency at light loads; less suitable for sustained 4A operation on FR4. | Prefer for ultra-low-loss 3.3V-driven apps where thermal headroom exists. |
| SI2302DS-T1-GE3 (Vishay) | RDS(on) = 0.085Ω @ 4.5V (higher), SOT-23 package limits ID to 2.6A continuous. | Smaller footprint but lower current capacity; unsuitable for >3A DC–DC outputs. | Select only when board space is critical and load current remains below 2.5A. |
Compared with DMN3025LSD-13 and SI2302DS-T1-GE3, ZXM64N03XTC delivers balanced performance: superior thermal resistance over the SOT-23 alternative and more robust SOIC-8 packaging than the Diodes part, making it optimal for industrial 4A-class power switches.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 85°C ambient?
At TA = 85°C, the device supports 3.2A continuous drain current. This is derived from linear derating: 4.0A at 70°C, with 14.4 mW/°C derating factor and 1.8W PD at 25°C, yielding 1.8W − (14.4 mW/°C × 60°C) = 0.936W, and ID = √(PD/RDS(on)) ≈ 3.2A using RDS(on) = 0.060Ω.
Does ZXM64N03XTC have avalanche rating?
No. The datasheet does not specify unclamped inductive switching (UIS) or single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS). It is rated for repetitive pulsed drain current (IDM = 30A) under specified test conditions but lacks formal avalanche ruggedness characterization.
Can this MOSFET be used in a high-side configuration with 5V gate drive?
No. As an N-channel device, high-side operation requires gate voltage ≥ source voltage + VGS(th). With only 5V available, it cannot sustain sufficient VGS when source rises toward 24V; a dedicated high-side driver or P-channel alternative is required.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse polarity protection?
Yes. The integrated body diode conducts forward at VSD = 0.95V and blocks reverse current up to VBR(DSS) = 30V. When placed in series with the power rail (source to input, drain to load), it prevents damage from −24V misconnection, provided IS stays within 2.4A continuous rating.
