TSM6968SDCA

Overview

The TSM6968SDCA is a dual N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a silicon technology base and is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package. The device supports a drain-source voltage (Vds) of 20 V and delivers a continuous drain current (Id) of 6.5 A at 25°C ambient temperature. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum on-resistance (Rds(on)) of 15 mΩ, a gate threshold voltage (Vgs(th)) of 600 mV, and a total gate charge (Qg) of 15 nC. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C with a power dissipation rating of 1.04 W.

Feature Summary

• Dual N-channel configuration for space-efficient circuit designs
• ESD protection integrated into the structure
• Low on-resistance for efficient power switching

Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits
• Load switching applications
• Power management modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement as the component is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Confirm RoHS compliance details through official datasheets. Ensure the specific ordering suffix matches the required reel packaging quantity. Validate that the 8-TSSOP footprint aligns with existing PCB layouts. Check for any recent product change notices affecting specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for low-voltage applications requiring dual channel isolation in a compact form factor. The 20V rating suits logic-level control systems. Evaluate thermal performance against the 1.04W dissipation limit. Compare gate charge requirements against driver capabilities. Ensure the 15mΩ on-resistance meets efficiency targets for the intended load current.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TSM6968 series of dual N-channel MOSFETs from Taiwan Semiconductor. It shares the same core architecture with variants like TSM6866SDCA but differs in specific electrical parameters such as current handling and resistance. The SDCA suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging format used for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with direct replacements by matching pinout, voltage ratings, and package dimensions. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for updated alternatives if the NRND status impacts long-term supply.
