Product details
Overview
DMG6968UQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for 6.5A continuous drain current at 25°C, with RDS(ON) of 21mΩ (typ) at VGS = 4.5V and 29mΩ at VGS = 2.5V. It delivers low-input capacitance (Ciss = 151pF), fast switching (tD(ON) = 54ns), and ESD protection up to 2kV - deployed in load switching for portable power management and USB port protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMG6968UQ-7 datasheet, DMG6968UQ-7 pinout, DMG6968UQ-7 application, or DMG6968UQ-7 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT23), confirmed gate-threshold range (0.5–0.9V), validated thermal resistance (RθJA = 157°C/W), and real-world leakage performance (IDSS ≤ 1.0µA at VDS = 20V).
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a single N-channel switch with enhancement-mode logic-level gate drive compatibility down to 1.8V. Its low RDS(ON) across VGS = 1.8–4.5V enables efficient battery-powered load control without external level-shifting circuitry.
The device integrates on-chip gate protection diode and ESD structure rated to 2kV HBM, while its SOT23 footprint supports high-density PCB layouts. Thermal performance is characterized per JEDEC JESD51-2 with FR-4 board and thermal vias, yielding RθJA = 157°C/W and PD = 1.3W at 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 5V/12V rail switching, not 24V systems. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 4.5V | 21mΩ (typ) - Enables <130mW conduction loss at 6.5A, critical for thermally constrained handheld designs. |
| ID (continuous) | 6.5A @ TA = 25°C - Validated with 2oz copper + thermal vias; derates to 5.2A at 70°C ambient. |
| Ciss | 151pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and speeds turn-on under 4.5V logic control. |
| VGS(TH) | 0.5–0.9V - Guaranteed turn-on with 1.8V microcontroller I/O; avoids false triggering below 0.5V. |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - Integrated protection eliminates need for external TVS in USB data line or I/O port applications. |
| RθJA | 157°C/W - Measured on standard FR-4 board; defines maximum allowable power dissipation before junction exceeds 150°C. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: compact surface-mount outline with 2.4mm × 1.3mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and matte tin-plated copper leadframe solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for channel conduction | Connected to ground or low-side reference; ties directly to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <10µA leakage; routed away from noisy traces to prevent spurious turn-on. |
| 3 (Drain) | Current output terminal of the MOSFET channel | Carries full load current; requires adequate copper area and thermal relief for 6.5A steady-state operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at 2.5V drive | 29mΩ (max) - Enables direct interface with 2.5V/3.3V GPIOs without gate driver, reducing BOM count. |
| Low Ciss and Crss | 151pF / 32pF - Minimizes Miller effect and improves switching stability in high-frequency DC-DC enable paths. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified to AEC-Q101 stress test standards - supports industrial temperature range (−55°C to +150°C) with proven long-term stability. |
| Green, halogen-free construction | <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - Complies with IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for RoHS 3 and automotive PPAP submissions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2024U | RDS(ON) = 24mΩ @ 4.5V; higher Ciss (170pF); same SOT23-3 package | Marginally slower switching due to +19pF Ciss; identical thermal profile and pinout | Preferred where tighter RDS(ON) tolerance is needed but faster edge rates are non-critical. |
| AO3400 | RDS(ON) = 28mΩ @ 4.5V; lower ESD rating (1.5kV); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive-grade reliability validation; unsuitable for PPAP-controlled production | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 and 2kV ESD are not required. |
Compared with DMN2024U and AO3400, DMG6968UQ-7 offers the lowest RDS(ON) at 2.5V drive (29mΩ vs. 32mΩ/35mΩ), highest ESD robustness (2kV vs. 1.5kV), and formal AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for safety-aware, space-constrained, and thermally limited designs.

FAQ
Is DMG6968UQ-7 pin-compatible with DMG6968U?
Yes - both share identical SOT23-3 pinout (Source-Gate-Drain on pins 1–2–3), same mechanical dimensions, and identical thermal pad layout. The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive traceability; electrical specs are unchanged.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous 6.5A drain current?
At 6.5A continuous, junction temperature reaches 150°C at 25°C ambient using the JEDEC-standard FR-4 test board. For reliable operation, ambient must be ≤45°C to maintain TJ < 135°C with 15°C safety margin - verified via thermal simulation and transient thermal response curves.
Can DMG6968UQ-7 be used in reverse-blocking configuration?
No - it lacks an integrated body diode optimized for reverse conduction. While the intrinsic body diode conducts from Source to Drain, its VSD is 1.2V at 1A (per Fig. 8), resulting in excessive power loss. Use dedicated reverse-protection ICs or back-to-back MOSFETs for bidirectional blocking.
Does the 2kV ESD rating apply to all pins or only the gate?
The 2kV Human Body Model (HBM) rating applies to Gate-Source and Gate-Drain terminals per JEDEC JS-001. Drain-Source ESD capability is not specified; system-level protection (e.g., TVS on VDS) remains necessary for surge-prone interfaces like USB or automotive loads.
