Product details
Overview
ZXMC3A16DN8TA from Zetex Semiconductors is a complementary dual-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOIC-8 package, integrating an N-channel (30 V, 6.4 A, 35 mΩ) and P-channel (−30 V, −5.4 A, 48 mΩ) device for half-bridge or level-shifting power stages. It delivers low gate charge (9.2 nC/12.9 nC), fast switching (td(on) = 3.0/3.8 ns), and low-threshold drive compatibility in motor control and LCD backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMC3A16DN8TA datasheet, ZXMC3A16DN8TA pinout, ZXMC3A16DN8TA application, or ZXMC3A16DN8TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(on) at 4.5 V, body diode recovery (trr = 17.8/21.2 ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 60–100 °C/W depending on layout), and SOIC-8 dual-die thermal coupling behavior.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET implements trench-gate silicon technology with independent N- and P-channel dies in a single SOIC-8 footprint. Each channel features fully characterized gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.0 V typ), low-input capacitance (Ciss = 796/970 pF), and matched dynamic parameters enabling synchronous buck or H-bridge operation without external timing compensation.
The device supports bidirectional current flow via integrated body diodes (VSD = 0.85/−0.85 V at rated current) and exhibits defined thermal derating (17 mW/°C at 2.1 W PD with dual-die conduction), making it suitable for thermally constrained PCB layouts where copper area is limited to 25 mm × 25 mm.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | N-ch: 35 mΩ; P-ch: 48 mΩ - enables ≤0.22 W conduction loss per channel at 3 A DC |
| ID Continuous @ TA = 25°C | N-ch: 6.4 A; P-ch: −5.4 A - defines maximum steady-state load current with standard SOIC-8 heatsinking |
| Qg Total | N-ch: 17.5 nC; P-ch: 24.9 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (≥1.8 mA avg for 1 MHz PWM) |
| tr/tf | N-ch: 6.4/9.4 ns; P-ch: 6.1/19 ns - sets minimum practical dead-time (≥30 ns) to prevent shoot-through |
| RθJA | 60–100 °C/W - varies with active die count and PCB copper coverage; critical for junction temperature estimation |
| VSD @ IS | N-ch: 0.85 V @ 5.1 A; P-ch: −0.85 V @ −3.6 A - defines forward drop during synchronous rectification or freewheeling |
Pinout & Package
SOIC-8 package (4.8–5.0 mm width, 3.8–4.0 mm body length, 1.35–1.75 mm height) with exposed pad not present; dual-die construction with electrically isolated channels sharing common source terminals in half-bridge configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G1) | N-channel gate | Accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; 2.3 nC Qgs enables fast turn-on with low gate resistance |
| 2 (S1) | N-channel source | Common source node for N-ch; ties to power ground or low-side switch node |
| 3 (D1) | N-channel drain | Connects to load/high-side rail; shares thermal path with P-ch drain (Pin 6) |
| 4 (S2) | P-channel source | Common source node for P-ch; connects to output node or floating rail in high-side switch |
| 5 (D2) | P-channel drain | Connects to supply rail; thermally coupled to Pin 3 for balanced junction temperature |
| 6 (G2) | P-channel gate | Accepts 0 to −10 V drive; 2.67 nC Qgs ensures controlled turn-off in high-side applications |
| 7, 8 | Source tie (S1/S2) | Internally connected source pins - must be routed to same net; no isolation between channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary dual-die integration | Single SOIC-8 replaces discrete N+P pair, reducing board area by ≥40 % and parasitic inductance |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | N-ch: 50 mΩ; P-ch: 70 mΩ - enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive without level shifters |
| Matched switching timing | td(on)/td(off) ratio < 1.2:1 across channels - simplifies dead-time calibration in half-bridge controllers |
| Body diode with low Qrr | N-ch: 11.6 nC; P-ch: 18.7 nC - reduces switching loss and EMI in hard-commutated topologies |
| Thermally optimized layout | Dual-drain pins (3 & 5) share thermal mass - improves power cycling reliability under asymmetric load conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary dual-MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMC2038LVT-7 | RDS(on) higher (N: 48 mΩ, P: 65 mΩ); Qg lower (N: 11.5 nC, P: 14.2 nC); SO-8 package | Better suited for lower-current (< 4 A), higher-frequency (> 1 MHz) applications due to reduced gate charge | Select when gate drive strength is limited and conduction loss budget allows +37 % increase |
| SI3588DV-T1-GE3 | Asymmetric rating (N: 30 V/4.9 A, P: −20 V/−3.8 A); RDS(on) higher (N: 55 mΩ, P: 85 mΩ); same SO-8 | Only viable for 12 V systems requiring lower voltage rating; unsuitable for 24 V motor drives | Choose only if system max VIN ≤ 15 V and thermal margin exceeds 25 °C |
Compared with DMC2038LVT-7 and SI3588DV-T1-GE3, ZXMC3A16DN8TA provides superior conduction efficiency at 6 A loads and broader voltage headroom, but requires stronger gate drive capability due to higher total Qg.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for each channel at 70°C ambient?
The N-channel supports 5.1 A and the P-channel supports −4.3 A at TA = 70°C with SOIC-8 mounting on FR4 PCB (single-sided 1 oz copper). These values reflect linear derating from 6.4 A/−5.4 A at 25°C using the 17 mW/°C factor for dual-die operation.
Can ZXMC3A16DN8TA be used in synchronous rectification mode?
Yes - both channels feature low VSD (0.85 V/−0.85 V) and fast reverse recovery (trr = 17.8/21.2 ns), enabling efficient synchronous rectification in buck or flyback converters up to 500 kHz, provided gate drive timing avoids cross-conduction.
Is the SOIC-8 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - ZXMC3A16DN8TA was manufactured to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC standards with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, as confirmed in Zetex's October 2005 datasheet revision and Diodes Incorporated's legacy compliance documentation.
How does thermal resistance change when only one channel is active?
When only one die operates, RθJA is 100 °C/W (25 mm × 25 mm PCB, still air); with both dies active at equal power, it drops to 60 °C/W due to shared thermal mass - this 40 % improvement must be factored into worst-case junction temperature calculations.
