Product details
Overview
DMN2104L-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT-23 package, rated for 20 V VDSS, 4.3 A continuous drain current, and 53 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V. It features low gate threshold (0.45–1.4 V), fast switching, and AEC-Q101 qualification-used in automotive load switching, USB power switches, and portable DC-DC converter high-side control.
For engineers reviewing the DMN2104L-7 datasheet, DMN2104L-7 pinout, DMN2104L-7 application, or DMN2104L-7 equivalent, this device supports low-voltage logic-level drive, operates reliably across –55°C to +150°C, and delivers stable on-resistance under pulsed and thermal stress conditions typical in space-constrained power management designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar silicon process optimized for low RDS(on) at VGS ≥ 2.5 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V and 2.5 V microcontroller GPIOs. Its 325 pF Ciss and 70 pF Crss support efficient switching up to several MHz in synchronous buck topologies.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.7–1.2 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, suitable for freewheeling in low-duty-cycle boost converters. Thermal resistance of 90°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, FR-4 PCB) defines its derating envelope under sustained 1.4 W power dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; enables use in 12 V automotive and 5 V/3.3 V system rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 53 mΩ - Ensures ≤ 0.95 W conduction loss at 4.3 A DC, critical for thermally constrained SOT-23 layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 4.3 A - Rated for steady-state load switching in USB PD adapters and LED drivers without external heatsinking. |
| VGS(th) | 0.45–1.4 V - Guarantees turn-on with 1.8 V logic; eliminates need for gate boosters in battery-powered IoT nodes. |
| Ciss | 325 pF - Limits gate drive current demand; compatible with low-power MCU GPIOs driving ≤ 100 kHz PWM. |
| TJ range | –55°C to +150°C - Validated for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor controllers per AEC-Q101. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (JEDEC TO-236AB), surface-mount, 3-terminal plastic case with matte tin-plated copper leadframe; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for channel conduction | Connected to ground or low-side reference; forms common node with body diode cathode. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <100 nA leakage; driven directly by 1.8–5 V logic without level shift. |
| 3 (Drain) | Current entry point into channel | Connected to load or supply rail; carries full switched current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at 2.5 V drive | 104 mΩ - Enables functional operation even with degraded gate drive, improving fault tolerance in brown-out conditions. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Stress-tested for automotive temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD (HBM ≥ 2 kV) - approved for engine control and ADAS power stages. |
| RoHS & "Green" compliant | No lead, halogen, or antimony; UL 94V-0 molding compound - meets EU ELV and China RoHS II requirements for end-of-life recycling. |
| Low Coss (92 pF) | Reduces turn-off energy loss and improves efficiency in high-frequency DC-DC converters (>500 kHz). |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | USB Type-C Power Delivery Switch |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2058U-7 | RDS(on) = 30 mΩ @ 4.5 V; higher ID (6.5 A); same SOT-23 package but larger die size | Better thermal margin in 5 A continuous loads; requires tighter layout due to higher peak current capability | Select when >4.3 A DC current or lower conduction loss is required; verify PCB copper area supports 2.0 W dissipation. |
| AO3400 | RDS(on) = 44 mΩ @ 4.5 V; no AEC-Q101 qualification; Ciss = 570 pF | Lower cost for consumer-grade applications; unsuitable for automotive due to unqualified reliability testing | Acceptable for non-automotive USB switches or battery management where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with DMN2104L-7, DMN2058U-7 offers lower on-resistance for higher-current designs but demands greater board-level thermal design effort, while AO3400 trades automotive qualification and lower capacitance for cost savings in commercial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for DMN2104L-7 in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage is 20 V, and operation above this risks avalanche breakdown. For reliable long-term use, apply ≤16 V DC to maintain 20% voltage margin per AEC-Q101 derating guidelines. Transient spikes must be clamped externally if exceeding 20 V, even briefly.
Can DMN2104L-7 be used as a high-side switch with 3.3 V GPIO control?
Yes-its VGS(th) range (0.45–1.4 V) and RDS(on) = 53 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V ensure robust turn-on with 3.3 V drive. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises to ~68 mΩ (interpolated from Fig. 3), still supporting ≤3.5 A continuous current within thermal limits on standard FR-4.
Does DMN2104L-7 include integrated ESD protection?
Yes-it is qualified to AEC-Q101, which mandates HBM ESD testing ≥2 kV. The device incorporates on-die protection structures meeting this requirement; no external TVS diode is needed for basic I/O-level ESD immunity in automotive environments.
How does ambient temperature affect RDS(on) performance?
RDS(on) increases linearly with junction temperature: normalized resistance reaches 1.6× at 150°C vs. 25°C (Fig. 5). At 85°C ambient with 1.4 W dissipation, junction temperature approaches 215°C-exceeding rating. Derate current to ≤2.8 A above 70°C ambient to stay within 150°C TJ.
