Product details
Overview
ZXMC3A17DN8TC from Zetex Semiconductors is a dual-channel complementary enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOIC-8 package, integrating an N-channel (30 V, 5.4 A, RDS(on) = 50 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V) and P-channel (–30 V, –4.4 A, RDS(on) = 70 mΩ @ VGS = –10 V) device for half-bridge or level-shifting power stages in DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMC3A17DN8TC datasheet, ZXMC3A17DN8TC pinout, ZXMC3A17DN8TC application, or ZXMC3A17DN8TC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified dual-die thermal coupling, gate charge asymmetry (Qg = 12.2 nC N-ch / 15.8 nC P-ch), body diode recovery (trr = 18.8 ns / 19.5 ns), and SO8 footprint compatibility with industry-standard layout rules.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET implements trench-gate silicon technology to simultaneously minimize conduction loss and switching transition time. Its complementary pairing enables synchronous rectification and bidirectional current control without external level shifters.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, supports ±20 V gate drive, and features low-threshold VGS(th) (1.0 V / –1.0 V) for 3.3 V logic-compatible gate control. Thermal resistance varies by mounting condition: RJA = 60°C/W (dual-die FR4, t = 10 s) and 70°C/W (dual-die, high-copper PCB).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| N-ch VDS | 30 V - supports 24 V rail systems with 25% safety margin |
| P-ch VDS | –30 V - enables symmetric negative-rail switching in H-bridge topologies |
| N-ch RDS(on) | 50 mΩ @ 10 V - delivers ≤1.4 W conduction loss at 5.4 A continuous |
| P-ch RDS(on) | 70 mΩ @ –10 V - ensures matched on-resistance ratio (1.4×) for balanced half-bridge duty cycles |
| Qg (N/P) | 12.2 nC / 15.8 nC - defines gate driver current requirement for <30 ns total switching transitions |
| trr (N/P) | 18.8 ns / 19.5 ns - limits reverse recovery energy loss during hard-switched commutation |
| TJ range | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |

| 4 | P-ch Gate | Controls P-channel MOSFET; driven low relative to source for turn-on |
| 5 | P-ch Source | Shared source with Pin 2; forms common node for complementary pair |
| 6 | N-ch Drain | Low-side output terminal; connects to load return path in buck or motor phase leg |
| 7 | N-ch Drain | Redundant drain connection for parallel current handling (same die as Pin 6) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary dual-MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMC2038LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ/60 mΩ; higher Qg (15.5 nC/18.2 nC); SO-8 package | Optimized for lower conduction loss but slower switching (td(off) = 22 ns vs 16 ns N-ch) | Select when thermal budget dominates over switching frequency requirements |
| SI6926DQ-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ/80 mΩ; lower VGS(th) (0.7 V/–0.7 V); same SO-8 footprint | Better 1.8 V logic compatibility but higher on-resistance increases conduction loss by ~18% | Select for ultra-low-voltage MCU interfaces where gate drive voltage is limited to 3.3 V or less |
Compared with DMC2038LSD-13 and SI6926DQ-T1-GE3, ZXMC3A17DN8TC offers the best balance of switching speed (16 ns td(off) N-ch), thermal coupling (shared RJA derating), and gate threshold symmetry for 3.3 V–5 V logic-driven half-bridge designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for each channel at 70°C ambient?
The N-channel supports 4.3 A and the P-channel supports –3.6 A at TA = 70°C with VGS = 10 V (N-ch) or –10 V (P-ch), measured on a 25 mm × 25 mm FR4 PCB with single-sided 1 oz copper. Derating follows 10 mW/°C (N-ch) and 14 mW/°C (P-ch) linear factors above 25°C.
Can ZXMC3A17DN8TC be used in a synchronous buck converter without external bootstrap circuitry?
Yes - the integrated P-channel high-side switch eliminates the need for bootstrap capacitors or floating gate drivers. It operates with referenced gate drive, enabling simple 3.3 V or 5 V logic control of both channels without level-shifting circuitry or timing-critical dead-time management.
Is the SOIC-8 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - ZXMC3A17DN8TC conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and uses lead-free matte tin plating on leads. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH without dry-pack requirements.
How is thermal coupling managed between the N-channel and P-channel dies?
The two dies share a common leadframe substrate within the SOIC-8 package, resulting in direct thermal coupling. This enables joint thermal derating (RJA = 70°C/W for dual-die operation) and synchronized thermal shutdown behavior, critical for reliability in high-power density applications like motor drivers.
