Product details
Overview
DMN2055U-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for 20V VDSS, 38mΩ RDS(ON) at 4.5V VGS, and 4.8A continuous drain current at 25°C - optimized for low-voltage power switching in portable and space-constrained DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DMN2055U-7 datasheet, DMN2055U-7 pinout, DMN2055U-7 application, or DMN2055U-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V gate threshold compatibility with 3.3V logic, 400pF input capacitance for fast switching, and thermal resistance of 113°C/W under enhanced PCB layout - critical for battery-powered load switching and USB power path control.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process to achieve low RDS(ON) while maintaining controlled gate charge (QG = 4.3nC) and fast switching (tR = 2.7ns, tF = 4.4ns). Its 0.4–1.0V gate threshold enables reliable turn-on from 2.5V–4.5V microcontroller I/Os without level shifting.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.7–1.0V forward voltage and 6.8ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and bidirectional current handling in compact buck regulators and power OR-ing circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20V - supports 12V rail switching and USB 5V/3.3V system interfaces without derating |
| RDS(ON) | 38mΩ @ 4.5V VGS - delivers ≤170mW conduction loss at 4.8A, enabling thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| ID (max) | 4.8A @ 25°C - sufficient for 5W load switching in handheld devices and IoT sensor nodes |
| QG | 4.3nC - enables <100ns total switching transition with 10Ω gate driver, minimizing dynamic losses |
| Ciss | 400pF - balances drive strength requirement and EMI control in high-frequency SMPS designs |
| VGS(TH) | 0.4–1.0V - ensures full enhancement with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic families without external bias |
| PD | 1.2W with 1-inch² copper pad - allows >1A sustained current in standard FR-4 with minimal heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, 0.008g mass, UL 94V-0 molded plastic housing, and matte tin–annealed copper leadframe for RoHS-compliant reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Return path for drain current; tied to ground or low-side reference | Low-inductance connection point for source return routing; internal bond wire directly linked to die substrate |
| 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel conduction | High-impedance input requiring <100nA leakage; sensitive to ESD but compatible with direct MCU GPIO drive |
| 3 (Drain) | Current output node; connected to load or power rail | Primary heat-generating terminal; designed for top-side thermal transfer via PCB copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at 2.5V VGS | 45mΩ - enables efficient operation from 3.3V logic rails without gate boosting |
| Fast switching speed | tD(ON) = 2.8ns, tF = 4.4ns - reduces transition losses in 1–3MHz DC-DC converters |
| Low gate leakage | IGSS ≤ ±100nA - prevents unintended turn-on in battery-critical standby modes |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets IPC-1752A Class 3 environmental compliance |
| ESD robustness | Human Body Model (HBM) ≥2kV - supports automated assembly without special handling |
Applications
| USB Power Switching | Battery Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selectively enabling/disabling VBUS power delivery in USB-C port controllers. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side load switch controlling 5V/3A USB power path. Use Value: 38mΩ RDS(ON) limits voltage drop to <150mV at 4A, preserving USB voltage regulation margins. | Use Scenario: Isolating lithium-ion cell from charging circuit during overvoltage or overtemperature fault. IC Role / Device Role: Primary discharge FET in integrated protection IC auxiliary path. Use Value: 0.4–1.0V VGS(TH) ensures clean turn-off when gate is pulled to 0V by protection ASIC. |
| DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier | IoT Sensor Node Load Control |
Use Scenario: Replacing Schottky diode in 3.3V buck converter output stage. IC Role / Device Role: Synchronous rectifier MOSFET driven by controller's low-side gate signal. Use Value: 6.8ns tRR and 1.2nC QRR minimize shoot-through risk and reverse recovery loss. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling peripheral sensors (e.g., temperature, motion) between wake cycles. IC Role / Device Role: High-efficiency on/off switch for 1.8–3.3V sensor supply rails. Use Value: 100nA IGSS and 1µA IDSS prevent standby current leakage that would degrade multi-year battery life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2056U-7 | RDS(ON) = 28mΩ @ 4.5V (lower), QG = 5.2nC (higher), same SOT23 package | Better conduction efficiency but higher gate drive demand; requires stronger driver for same switching speed | Prefer when thermal margin is tight and gate drive capability ≥10mA is available |
| AO3400 | RDS(ON) = 42mΩ @ 4.5V (higher), Ciss = 520pF (higher), different pinout (G-D-S vs D-G-S) | Slower switching and non-drop-in layout; requires PCB redesign due to reversed drain/gate pins | Only consider if legacy AO3400 inventory exists and board revision is feasible |
Compared with DMN2055U-7, DMN2056U-7 improves conduction loss by 26% but increases gate charge 21%, while AO3400 introduces layout incompatibility and 10.5% higher RDS(ON), making DMN2055U-7 the optimal balance of drive simplicity, thermal performance, and footprint reuse.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMN2055U-7?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C per the datasheet. Derating begins above +85°C ambient; with 1.2W power dissipation and 113°C/W thermal resistance, sustained operation at full 4.8A requires ≤+35°C ambient or active cooling. The device includes built-in thermal shutdown behavior above TJ = +175°C in typical application circuits.
Can DMN2055U-7 be used as a high-side switch?
No - DMN2055U-7 is an N-channel MOSFET with source terminal internally tied to substrate, requiring the source to be at the lowest potential in the circuit. For high-side switching, a P-channel device (e.g., DMG2305U) or N-channel with gate-boost circuitry is required. Its SOT23 pinout (D-G-S) also lacks isolation for floating gate drive.
Does DMN2055U-7 support logic-level drive from 1.8V microcontrollers?
Yes - with a guaranteed VGS(TH) down to 0.4V and typical RDS(ON) of 55mΩ at 1.8V VGS (per Figure 4 extrapolation), it achieves partial enhancement. However, full 4.8A rating requires ≥2.5V VGS; for 1.8V systems, use with gate driver or accept reduced current capacity (~2.2A).
Is the SOT23 package of DMN2055U-7 compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the matte tin–annealed leadframe meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and is qualified for standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10s max). Recommended pad layout (2.0×0.8mm) and thermal relief patterns are published in Diodes' package outline document DS00001.
