Product details
Overview
ZXMS81090SP from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel high-side power switch IC with integrated current and temperature sensing, 200 mΩ RDS(ON) at +150°C, 5–28 V operating range, and diagnostic IS output proportional to load current (KILIS = 1480). It enables 3.3 V/5 V logic-level drive, delivers 3 A nominal load current, and supports open-load detection, overtemperature auto-restart, and load-dump protection up to 41 V - used in automotive lighting and motor control modules requiring fault-aware power switching.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMS81090SP datasheet, ZXMS81090SP pinout, ZXMS81090SP application, or ZXMS81090SP equivalent, this device is selected for high-side switching where real-time current feedback, robust short-circuit handling, and stable undervoltage/overvoltage behavior are required - especially in 12 V grounded-load systems with incandescent lamps, DC motors, or LED arrays.
Technical Context
The ZXMS81090SP integrates a vertical n-channel power MOSFET with charge-pumped gate drive, enabling high-side operation without external bootstrap circuitry. Its internal analog current-sense amplifier provides linear voltage-drop regulation to maintain KILIS accuracy down to 50 mA load current, while dynamic and absolute overtemperature sensors trigger cycling or shutdown at ΔTJ(SW) = 80 K and TJ(SC) = +150°C.
Protection architecture includes active clamping on VS-to-GND (VS(AZ) = 47 V typ), OUT-to-GND (VDS(AZ) = 47 V typ), and IS pin (VIS(AZ) = 47 V typ), plus loss-of-ground detection via GND pin monitoring. Fault signaling occurs through defined IIS(FAULT) current on the IS pin during overload, short-circuit, overtemperature, or open-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage | 5 V to 28 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (5 V) and load-dump transients (up to 41 V protected) |
| RDS(ON) @ +150°C | 200 mΩ max - limits conduction loss to ≤1.8 W at 3 A, enabling compact thermal design on FR4 PCB |
| Nominal Load Current | 3 A - rated for continuous operation at Tamb = +85°C with 1.6 W power dissipation limit |
| Current-Sense Ratio | KILIS = 1480 - yields ~2.02 mA IS output at 3 A load, enabling direct ADC sampling without amplification |
| Standby Current | 0.5 µA max @ +85°C - ensures ultra-low quiescent draw in always-on vehicle modules |
| Fault Response Time | tOFF = 30–300 µs - fast turn-off supports EMC-compliant switching of inductive loads |
| Thermal Shutdown | TJ(SC) = +150°C with 20 K hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8EP (Type E) with exposed heatsink pad (EP) connected to VS pin - provides low RθJC = 5.2 °C/W for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Return for internal logic and protection circuits; must be low-impedance to enable loss-of-ground detection |
| 2 IN | Logic input control | Active-high enable (3.3 V/5 V compatible); controls MOSFET gate drive and diagnostic activation |
| 3 DEN | Diagnostic enable | High-impedance disables IS output; allows shared IS bus across multiple devices |
| 4 IS | Analog current-sense output | Outputs IIS = IL/1480 under normal operation; switches to IIS(FAULT) during faults |
| 5 NC | No connection | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected per layout guidelines |
| 6, 7, 8 OUT | Power output terminals | Internally tied together - deliver switched VS to load; share current path and thermal mass |
| EP | Voltage supply / battery positive | Exposed pad tied to VS - primary thermal and current path; requires solder mask opening and thermal vias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-dependent current limiting | IL5(SC) = 15 A at VDS = 5 V - adapts trip threshold to load impedance, preventing nuisance tripping on high-R loads |
| Open-load detection | Uses dual-mode sensing: current-sense zeroing in ON state + output voltage monitoring in OFF state - detects disconnected lamps or broken traces |
| Load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (41 V, 100 ms) via internal VS-to-GND clamp - eliminates need for external TVS on battery rail |
| Low-temperature drift sense | KILIS maintains ±5% accuracy over -40°C to +150°C - enables reliable diagnostics across automotive ambient extremes |
| Reverse battery tolerance | Body diode conducts at VDS(REV) = 0.65 V max at -2 A - allows safe reverse connection when paired with external 4.7 kΩ interface resistors |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | DC Motor Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BTS50080-1TAD | Higher RDS(ON) (3.5 mΩ min), integrated SPI interface, no analog IS output | Requires MCU with SPI support; lacks direct current-sense voltage compatibility | Choose for digital bus-based systems needing status registers and configurable diagnostics |
| STMicroelectronics VNQ7050AJTR | Lower nominal current (2.5 A), no load-dump protection beyond 36 V, different pinout (PowerSSO-16) | Needs external TVS for 41 V load-dump; unsuitable for space-constrained SO-8 layouts | Choose when footprint flexibility exists and lower cost outweighs 41 V transient margin |
Compared with BTS50080-1TAD and VNQ7050AJTR, the ZXMS81090SP uniquely combines SO-8EP packaging, analog IS output with 1480 ratio, and native 41 V load-dump immunity - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, analog-diagnostic automotive modules where PCB area and external component count are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum load-dump voltage the ZXMS81090SP can withstand?
The ZXMS81090SP is rated for ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses up to 41 V (VS(LD)), enforced by its internal VS-to-GND active clamp. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in standard automotive battery rail protection, provided RGND = 150 Ω is used per the datasheet recommendation.
How does open-load detection work in both ON and OFF states?
In ON state, open-load is detected by absence of expected IS current (IIS ≈ 0 mA despite IN = high); in OFF state, it's confirmed by measuring VOUT > VOL threshold using external comparator. The dual-mode method distinguishes true disconnection from low-current loads like LEDs.
Can the ZXMS81090SP drive inductive loads without external flyback components?
Yes - its internal active VDS(AZ) clamp (47 V typ) safely dissipates inductive ring-off energy during turn-off, limiting OUT swing below ground. This replaces external freewheeling diodes for typical 12 V solenoid or motor loads, reducing BOM count and board area.
What is the purpose of the DEN pin, and how should it be used in multi-device configurations?
The DEN pin enables high-impedance mode on the IS pin when pulled low, allowing multiple ZXMS81090SP devices to share a single analog current-sense line. This simplifies MCU ADC routing in multi-channel power distribution units - each device asserts IIS(FAULT) only when enabled, avoiding signal contention.
