Product details
Overview
ZXMS81200SPQ from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel automotive-grade high-side power switch in SO-8EP package, integrating n-channel vertical MOSFET, charge-pumped gate drive, temperature/current sensing, and diagnostic current-sense output (KILIS = 300). It operates from 5V–28V supply, delivers 1.5A nominal load current with 400mΩ RDS(ON) at +150°C, and supports 3.3V/5V logic-level enable for incandescent lamps and motors in 12V grounded-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMS81200SPQ datasheet, ZXMS81200SPQ pinout, ZXMS81200SPQ application, or ZXMS81200SPQ equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated open-load detection (ON/OFF state), proportional analog IS output with linear regulation down to 25mA, AEC-Q100 qualification, and defined fault signaling for overload, overtemperature, short-circuit, and loss-of-ground conditions.
Technical Context
The ZXMS81200SPQ implements a monolithic high-side switch architecture with internal charge pump enabling full enhancement of the n-channel MOSFET without external bootstrap components. Its protection system combines voltage-dependent current limiting, dynamic ∆TJ(SW)-based thermal cycling (80K threshold), and absolute TJ(SC) shutdown (+150°C to +200°C range), all coordinated through on-die sensors.
Diagnostic functionality is implemented via dual-mode IS pin operation: analog current output (IIS = IL/300) enabled by DEN, and fault-current mode (IIS(FAULT)) triggered during overload, overtemperature, short-circuit, or open-load in OFF state. Open-load detection uses both load-current sensing in ON state and output-voltage monitoring in OFF state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage | 5V to 28V - Supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (5V) and load-dump transients (up to 41V clamped) |
| RDS(ON) @ +150°C | 400mΩ - Ensures ≤0.9W conduction loss at 1.5A nominal load under worst-case thermal conditions |
| Current Sense Ratio | KILIS = 300 - Delivers precise 3.33µA/mA analog sense current for accurate low-current diagnostics (down to 25mA) |
| Standby Current | 0.5µA @ +85°C - Minimizes parasitic drain in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., body control units) |
| Fault Detection | Dual-mode IS output - Provides distinct analog sense and defined fault-current signals for microcontroller interpretation |
| Thermal Protection | Dynamic ∆TJ(SW) = 80K + Absolute TJ(SC) = +150°C - Enables safe cyclic operation during sustained overload without latch-off |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) - Validated for engine bay and chassis-mounted automotive applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8EP (Type E) with exposed heatsink pad (EP) electrically connected to VS pin for enhanced thermal performance (RθJC = 5.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for logic, diagnostic, and protection circuitry; loss-of-ground triggers automatic shutdown |
| 2 IN | Logic input | Active-high 3.3V/5V-compatible enable signal; controls MOSFET gate drive via internal charge pump |
| 3 DEN | Diagnostic enable | Activates IS pin analog mode; allows wired-OR connection of multiple ZXMS81200SPQ devices to shared ADC input |
| 4 IS | Diagnostic output | Current-source output: IIS = IL/300 (normal) or IIS(FAULT) (fault); requires external pull-up for voltage readout |
| 5 NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 6,7,8 OUT | Power output | Parallel-connected source terminals delivering switched load current; tied directly to load return path |
| EP (VS) | Supply input | Exposed pad connected to battery positive; serves as primary thermal path and power input node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-dependent current limiting | Adjusts IL(SC) from 6A to 12A based on VDS, preventing thermal runaway during partial shorts |
| Open-load detection (dual-state) | Uses IS current in ON state AND OUT voltage monitoring in OFF state-enables reliable lamp-burnout detection |
| Low-IL voltage-drop regulation | Maintains VDS(NL) = 12–25mV at IL = 25mA, preserving KILIS accuracy for microamp-level diagnostics |
| Active VS-to-GND clamp | Clamps transients to 41–53V (VS(AZ)) protecting GND pin and upstream logic from ISO 7637 load-dump events |
| Loss-of-ground protection | Shuts down output when GND pin disconnects-prevents uncontrolled load activation in wiring fault scenarios |

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 BTS716G | Higher RDS(ON) (500mΩ @ +150°C), no integrated open-load detection in OFF state, requires external sense resistor | Supports higher peak current (12A) but lacks dual-state open-load diagnosis and low-IL regulation | Select for cost-sensitive 12V systems where IS-pin integration is unnecessary and higher conduction loss is acceptable |
| ONSEMI NCV8460A | Lower nominal current (1.2A), no charge pump (requires external 10V gate drive), fixed 5.5V UVLO threshold | Offers faster tOFF (100µs) but lacks load-dump clamping and diagnostic enable (DEN) pin | Select when gate drive voltage is available externally and ISO 7637 immunity is handled at system level |
Compared with BTS716G and NCV8460A, the ZXMS81200SPQ uniquely integrates proportional current sensing with open-load detection in both ON and OFF states, maintains sense accuracy down to 25mA via VDS(NL) regulation, and provides built-in 41V load-dump clamping-reducing external component count by up to 7 parts per channel.

FAQ
What is the function of the DEN pin on the ZXMS81200SPQ?
The DEN (Diagnostic Enable) pin activates the analog current-sense mode of the IS pin. When pulled high, IS outputs IL/300; when low or floating, IS enters high-impedance state. This enables shared ADC inputs across multiple channels and prevents loading errors during system diagnostics or sleep modes.
How does the ZXMS81200SPQ handle load-dump transients?
The ZXMS81200SPQ incorporates an active VS-to-GND clamp that limits transients to 41–53V (VS(AZ)) during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events. Excess energy is dissipated across external RGND (recommended 150Ω), protecting internal circuitry without requiring external TVS diodes in most 12V automotive designs.
Can the ZXMS81200SPQ drive inductive loads without an external flyback diode?
Yes-the device features an active VDS(AZ) clamp (41–53V) that safely absorbs inductive kickback energy during turn-OFF. This eliminates the need for external flyback diodes in typical 12V/24V motor and solenoid applications, reducing board space and improving EMC performance.
What defines "open-load" detection behavior in ON vs. OFF states?
In ON state, open-load is detected via absence of expected IS current (IL/300); in OFF state, it is detected by measuring OUT voltage-if OUT remains near VS instead of sinking to GND, the load is disconnected. Both methods are implemented internally and reported via IS pin fault current.
