Product details
Overview
DMN2056U-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, featuring 38 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V, 4.0 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C, and low 0.6–1.0 V gate threshold voltage. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in portable DC-DC converters and battery charging circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN2056U-13 datasheet, DMN2056U-13 pinout, DMN2056U-13 application, or DMN2056U-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-voltage gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) down to 0.4 V), fast switching (tD(off) = 8.5 ns), and thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs (RθJA = 136 °C/W with thermal bias).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) while maintaining robust switching characteristics. Its gate threshold voltage range (0.4–1.0 V) enables direct interface with 1.8 V and 2.5 V logic controllers, and its low Ciss (339 pF) and Crss (34 pF) reduce drive power and improve EMI behavior in high-frequency buck regulators.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.7–1.2 V forward voltage at 1 A and 4.7 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in compact power stages. Its SOA is rated for 22 A pulsed drain current (10 µs, 1% duty) and supports operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage power rails (e.g., USB PD, Li-ion battery systems) |
| RDS(on) | 38 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 2 A in portable power stages |

| G (Gate) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance node requiring clean, low-ESR gate drive; sensitive to ringing due to low Ciss/Crss ratio |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate control and current return | Typically tied to power ground; forms common reference for VGS measurement and body diode cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at low VGS | 45 mΩ @ VGS = 2.5V - Enables efficient operation directly from 2.5 V system rails without gate boosting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2058U-7 | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V; higher 4.5 A ID; same SOT23 package | Better conduction efficiency at >2.5 A loads; slightly higher gate charge (5.1 nC) | Select when lower conduction loss outweighs gate drive complexity in fixed 4.5 V gate-drive systems. |
| AO3400 | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ VGS = 10V; VGS(th) = 0.7–1.4 V; higher 5.7 A ID; same SOT23 | Requires ≥3.3 V gate drive for full enhancement; less suitable for 1.8 V logic interfaces | Prefer where gate drive voltage ≥3.3 V is guaranteed and higher peak current capability is needed. |
Compared with DMN2056U-13, DMN2058U-7 offers lower RDS(on) but demands more gate drive energy, while AO3400 provides higher current rating but lacks guaranteed turn-on below 2.5 V - making DMN2056U-13 optimal for ultra-low-voltage, space-constrained battery-powered designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMN2056U-13?
The DMN2056U-13 is rated for junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C. Its absolute maximum TJ is +150°C, and thermal derating begins above +125°C per the SOA curve. The device maintains specified RDS(on) and VGS(th) performance across this full range, with normalized on-resistance variation ≤10% at +150°C versus +25°C.
Can DMN2056U-13 be used in a 1.8 V logic-controlled switching application?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage ranges from 0.4 V (min) to 1.0 V (max), with typical 0.6 V at ID = 250 µA. At VGS = 1.8 V, it delivers RDS(on) ≈ 65 mΩ and ID ≈ 2.5 A, enabling functional switching in 1.8 V microcontroller systems without external level shifters or gate drivers.
Does DMN2056U-13 have avalanche rating or ruggedness specifications?
No avalanche rating is specified in the DS38480 datasheet. The device is not characterized for repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) events. For applications involving inductive loads, external clamping (e.g., TVS diodes or RC snubbers) is required to limit VDS overshoot within the 20 V VDSS rating.
Is the SOT23 package of DMN2056U-13 compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the device uses matte tin–annealed terminals and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10–30 sec above 217°C), and its UL 94V-0 molding compound withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination or warpage.
