Product details
Overview
ZXMP7A17KQ from Diodes Incorporated is a -70V, 160mΩ (at VGS = -10V) P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252 (DPAK) package, rated for -5.7A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It features low gate threshold (-1.0V typ), fast switching (tR = 3.4ns), and integrated body diode with VSD = -0.85V @ -2.0A - optimized for DC-DC converters and automotive power disconnect switches.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMP7A17KQ datasheet, ZXMP7A17KQ pinout, ZXMP7A17KQ application, or ZXMP7A17KQ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, RDS(ON) stability across temperature, gate charge (Qg = 9.6nC @ -5V), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 30°C/W on 50mm × 50mm FR4).
Technical Context
This trench-structured P-channel MOSFET delivers low conduction loss and high-speed switching via optimized gate oxide and channel geometry. Its -1.0V typical VGS(TH) enables direct logic-level drive from 3.3V/5V controllers, while Qgd/Qgs ratio of 2.1 supports clean turn-off in high-side configurations.
The device integrates a robust body diode with tRR = 29.8ns and QRR = 38.5nC, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and flyback recovery in buck and half-bridge topologies. Thermal design is supported by RθJA = 30°C/W (50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu) and IT = -9.2A continuous source rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -70V - supports 48V automotive and industrial bus systems with 20% derating margin |
| RDS(ON) | 160mΩ @ VGS = -10V - ensures ≤0.9W conduction loss at -5.7A in steady-state operation |
| ID (cont) | -5.7A @ TA = +25°C - suitable for medium-power load switching up to ~30W at 12V input |
| Qg | 9.6nC @ VGS = -5V - enables <100ns total switching time with 10Ω gate resistor |
| tR/tF | 3.4ns / 8ns - minimizes overlap loss in PWM-driven half-bridge and Class-D audio stages |
| VGS(TH) | -1.0V (typ) - compatible with 3.3V GPIO control without level-shifting circuitry |
| RθJA | 30°C/W - requires ≥50mm × 50mm 2oz copper pad for full 4.17W power dissipation at ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, single-ended heat sink capable, 3-terminal configuration with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to package tab; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management and low-inductance return path |
| Gate | Control electrode | Receives negative voltage relative to source to turn on; sensitive to ESD (±20V max rating) |
| Source | Reference node / current return | Serves as common reference for gate drive and load return; body diode anode is internally tied here |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power management per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and TC |
| Low RDS(ON) × Qg figure-of-merit | 1.54Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses in 100–500kHz DC-DC designs |
| Fast body diode recovery | tRR = 29.8ns, QRR = 38.5nC - reduces reverse-recovery spikes and EMI in synchronous rectifiers |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) |
| Low VGS(TH) distribution | -1.0V typ, no minimum spec - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3V microcontrollers without external biasing |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side P-channel switch controlling main power rail; operates in static on/off state with infrequent transitions. Use Value: 160mΩ RDS(ON) limits voltage drop to <0.9V at 5A, preserving system efficiency while meeting AEC-Q101 reliability requirements. |
Use Scenario: Regulating 24V input to 5V/3.3V rails in programmable logic controllers using synchronous buck topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier in low-side position; commutates at 300kHz with controlled dV/dt. Use Value: Fast tR/tF (3.4ns/8ns) and low QRR minimize shoot-through risk and improve light-load efficiency by >3% vs. standard MOSFETs. |
| Class-D Audio Output Stage | Motor Control H-Bridge Low-Side Switch |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG1012T | RDS(ON) = 200mΩ @ -4.5V; Qg = 5.2nC; TO236 package (SOT-23) | Lower current rating (-2.8A), smaller footprint, higher RDS(ON) - suited for space-constrained sub-10W loads | Select when board area is critical and thermal budget allows higher conduction loss |
| IPD250N06L3 | RDS(ON) = 2.5mΩ @ -4.5V; TO252; 60V rating; AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher cost, lower RDS(ON), but larger gate charge (Qg = 22nC) increases drive complexity | Choose for high-efficiency 48V systems where <0.1V drop at 5A is mandatory and gate driver can support 22nC |
Compared with DMG1012T, ZXMP7A17KQ offers 43% lower RDS(ON) and 2× higher current capability in the same DPAK footprint; versus IPD250N06L3, it trades 65× higher RDS(ON) for 2.3× lower Qg, simplifying gate drive in cost-sensitive 12–24V applications.

FAQ
Is ZXMP7A17KQ suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes - its -70V VDSS, low RDS(ON), and robust SOA support controlled inrush limiting in 12V/24V hot-swap circuits. The device's 17.7A pulsed drain rating and 30°C/W thermal resistance enable brief overloads without thermal runaway when properly heatsinked.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for ZXMP7A17KQ?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation limited by power dissipation and PCB thermal design. At TA = +70°C, the derated continuous drain current is -4.6A (Note 6), and RDS(ON) increases ~25% over its 25°C value due to positive temperature coefficient.
Does ZXMP7A17KQ require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 10–47Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 42.5pF) and PCB inductance. Without it, fast edges may excite parasitic oscillations, increasing EMI and risking false turn-on during high-dV/dt transients in motor or inductive load switching.
Can ZXMP7A17KQ replace N-channel MOSFETs in high-side configurations?
No - it is a P-channel device designed for high-side switching with negative gate drive relative to source. Replacing an N-channel high-side switch would require inverting the control signal and adjusting gate drive voltage range; it cannot be used as a drop-in replacement without circuit redesign.
