Product details
Overview
DMG2301LK-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for -20V VDSS, 160mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = -4.5V, and -2.4A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It serves as a low-side load switch or reverse-polarity protection device in space-constrained DC-DC converters and backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMG2301LK-13 datasheet, DMG2301LK-13 pinout, DMG2301LK-13 application, or DMG2301LK-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(ON) at low gate drive (-2.5V), ESD-protected gate, fast switching (tF = 10.5ns), and thermal resistance of 91°C/W on standard FR-4 layout.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses a trench-gate process to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining controlled gate charge (Qg = 1.6nC at VGS = -4.5V) and low output capacitance (Coss = 36pF). Its gate threshold voltage range (-0.3V to -1.0V) enables reliable turn-on with logic-level negative gate drive.
The integrated ESD protection diode across gate-source and body diode forward voltage (VSD = -0.8V to -1.2V at IS = -1.0A) support robust operation in portable power rails. Thermal performance is characterized for both steady-state (RθJA = 91°C/W) and pulsed conditions per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -20V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction |
| RDS(ON) | 160mΩ @ VGS = -4.5V, ID = -1.0A - On-resistance directly impacts conduction loss in high-efficiency power switches |
| ID (max) | -2.4A @ TA = +25°C - Continuous current rating under standard PCB thermal conditions |
| Qg | 1.6nC @ VGS = -4.5V - Total gate charge determines drive strength requirement and switching loss |
| Ciss | 156pF @ VDS = -6V - Input capacitance affects gate driver loading and high-frequency stability |
| tF | 10.5ns - Fall time defines minimum achievable PWM frequency and transition loss |
| RθJA | 91°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on recommended pad layout for thermal design margining |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Standard), surface-mount, 3-terminal plastic package with matte tin annealed terminals; UL 94V-0 rated molding compound; moisture sensitivity level 1.

| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | ESD-protected input requiring < ±12V drive; threshold centered at -0.6V |
| 3 (Drain) | Current entry point during conduction | Connected to load; handles full -20V blocking and -2.4A continuous current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at -2.5V gate drive | 210mΩ - Enables use with 2.5V/3.3V logic controllers without level-shifting |
| Fast switching with low Qgd | 0.4nC - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency |
| ESD-protected gate | ±10µA IGSS max at ±10V - Withstands >2kV HBM without external protection circuitry |
| Green, RoHS-compliant construction | <900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb - Meets automotive and industrial environmental compliance mandates |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | AEC-Q200 stress-tested - Validated for extended temperature cycling and humidity exposure |
Applications

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving white LED strings in portable displays using boost converter output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side P-channel switch controlling current path between boost output and LED cathodes. Use Value: 160mΩ RDS(ON) limits conduction loss to <150mW at 1.2A, preserving battery runtime. |
Use Scenario: Preventing damage when USB cables are inserted with reversed polarity into host ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-voltage blocking element placed in series with VBUS line. Use Value: -20V VDSS withstands transient overvoltage; fast tF ensures no latch-up during plug insertion. |

|
Use Scenario: Replacing Schottky diode in buck converter output stage for improved efficiency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectification switch operating in anti-phase with main N-MOSFET. Use Value: Coss = 36pF minimizes ringing; low Qg allows clean gate drive from simple RC network. |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling gate bias for high-side N-channel motor driver FETs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifted control switch generating isolated gate voltage for upper-half bridge. Use Value: VGS(TH) = -0.6V typical ensures full enhancement with -3.3V logic signal, reducing bootstrap complexity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2302L-7 | RDS(ON) = 125mΩ @ -4.5V but rated only to -12V VDSS; same SOT23 package | Not suitable for -20V bus systems; better for 12V automotive accessory modules | Select when lower on-resistance is critical and voltage margin can be reduced |
| Si2301BDS-T1-GE3 | RDS(ON) = 115mΩ @ -4.5V; higher Qg (2.4nC); no ESD rating specified | Lacks documented ESD protection; requires external gate clamping in noisy environments | Prefer where cost is primary constraint and board-level ESD design is already implemented |
Compared with DMG2301LK-13, DMG2302L-7 trades voltage rating for lower conduction loss, while Si2301BDS-T1-GE3 reduces on-resistance further but increases gate drive demand and removes ESD assurance-making DMG2301LK-13 optimal for compact, robust 20V-referenced power switches.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe gate-source voltage for DMG2301LK-13?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±12V per the datasheet's "Maximum Ratings" table. Exceeding this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should remain within -4.5V to 0V in normal switching, leveraging its -0.6V typical VGS(TH) for full enhancement without overdrive.
Can DMG2301LK-13 replace an N-channel MOSFET in high-side switching configurations?
No-it is a P-channel device optimized for low-side or high-side switch topologies where the source connects to a fixed rail. In true high-side N-MOSFET replacement, a charge pump or floating gate driver is required; DMG2301LK-13 simplifies this by enabling direct logic-level control without auxiliary circuitry when used in source-follower configuration.
Is DMG2301LK-13 qualified for automotive applications?
The base DMG2301LK-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., DMG2301LKQ-13) with AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-these carry a "Q" suffix and are listed in Diodes' automotive product portal.
How does the 91°C/W thermal resistance translate to real-world power dissipation?
With RθJA = 91°C/W and a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, the device can dissipate 0.84W continuously at TA = +25°C ambient (ΔT = 125°C ÷ 91°C/W). At 70°C ambient, derated power drops to ~0.62W-confirming suitability for low-duty-cycle or thermally managed PCB layouts.
