Product details
Overview
DMN2991UT-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT523 package, rated for 20V VDSS, 0.3A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C, with RDS(ON) = 3Ω @ VGS = 4.5V and ultra-low gate threshold voltage (VGS(TH) ≤ 1.0V). It serves as a compact, low-voltage load switch in space-constrained power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN2991UT datasheet, DMN2991UT pinout, DMN2991UT application, or DMN2991UT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.0V max VGS(TH), 0.28W power dissipation on FR-4, SOT523 footprint compatibility, and suitability for battery-powered DC-DC converter enable paths requiring fast switching and minimal gate drive.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for low-voltage logic-level operation, enabling direct interface with 1.8V/2.5V GPIOs without level-shifting. Its RDS(ON) remains stable across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, supported by normalized on-resistance curves showing <15% drift at 150°C vs. 25°C under VGS = 4.5V.
The device integrates ESD protection on gate terminals (HBM > 2kV), features Ciss = 21.5pF and Qg = 0.35nC for rapid turn-on (tr = 4.9ns), and maintains low leakage (IDSS ≤ 1μA at VDS = 16V) critical for always-on subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 3.3V/5V rail switching |
| RDS(ON) | 3Ω @ VGS = 4.5V - Enables ≤300mW conduction loss at 0.3A in compact layouts |
| VGS(TH) | ≤1.0V - Ensures full enhancement with 1.8V I/O controllers; no external bias required |
| Qg | 0.35nC - Supports >1MHz switching in load-switch applications with minimal gate drive energy |
| PD | 0.28W (FR-4, min pad) - Limits thermal rise to ~125°C at 0.3A ambient; requires no heatsink |
| Ciss | 21.5pF - Reduces capacitive loading on driving GPIOs; improves noise immunity in dense PCBs |
Pinout & Package
SOT523 is a 3-pin ultra-small surface-mount package (1.60 × 1.60 × 0.75 mm) with gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, and matte tin annealed terminations solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Logic-level control input; ESD-protected; drives with ≤0.35nC charge for fast edge rates |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to system ground or low-side return path |
| D | Drain | Switched high-side or low-side output; handles up to 0.3A continuous with 20V max swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate threshold | VGS(TH) ≤ 1.0V enables direct drive from 1.8V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Low RDS(ON) at low VGS | 6Ω @ VGS = 1.8V supports efficient operation in 2.5V/3.3V power domains |
| ESD-protected gate | HBM > 2kV rating reduces risk of field failure during board assembly and handling |
| Green, lead-free construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound meets IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS 3 compliance |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Load Switching | USB Port Power Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power to peripheral modules (e.g., BLE radio, sensor hub) in wearables to extend battery life. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side load switch controlled by MCU GPIO; operates in on/off mode with <100ns transition times. Use Value: 1.0V VGS(TH) ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8V I/O; 0.21A capability at 1.8V VGS matches typical sensor module peak loads. |
Use Scenario: Controlling VBUS power delivery to downstream USB devices in portable hubs or docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch isolating USB 5V rail; driven by USB controller's over-current fault signal. Use Value: 20V VDSS margin accommodates 5.5V USB transient spikes; low Ciss prevents signal integrity degradation on adjacent data lines. |
| DC-DC Converter Enable Path | Always-On System Supervisor |
|
Use Scenario: Gate-driving the EN pin of buck converters (e.g., AP6320x) in multi-rail PMICs where enable sequencing must tolerate 1.8V logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level translator between low-voltage supervisor IC and higher-voltage converter enable input. Use Value: 0.35nC Qg allows clean, jitter-free enable pulses; 1μA IDSS prevents false triggering in sleep states. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring backup battery voltage in real-time clocks (e.g., RV-3028-C7) and asserting reset when main supply fails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage switch isolating RTC VBAT from system ground during main power loss. Use Value: 1μA max IDSS preserves coin-cell lifetime beyond 10 years; -55°C to +150°C rating supports industrial storage environments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK3-7 | RDS(ON) = 2.2Ω @ VGS = 4.5V; SOT-723 package (smaller footprint, 1.2 × 1.2 mm) | Higher current density but lower thermal mass; unsuitable for >0.25A continuous without derating | Select for tighter board area constraints where 0.25A max load suffices and thermal margin is verified |
| AO3400 | RDS(ON) = 28mΩ @ VGS = 10V; SOT-23 package; VGS(TH) = 0.7–1.4V (wider distribution) | Lower RDS(ON) but requires ≥2.5V gate drive for consistent turn-on; larger 2.9 × 1.3 mm footprint | Select only if gate drive ≥2.5V is guaranteed and board space permits SOT-23; avoid for 1.8V-only systems |
Compared with DMN2991UT-13, DMN2004LK3-7 offers smaller size but reduced thermal headroom, while AO3400 delivers lower on-resistance only with higher gate voltage-making DMN2991UT uniquely suited for 1.8V–2.5V logic-driven, space-limited load switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for DMN2991UT-13 at 75°C ambient?
The datasheet specifies 0.24A continuous drain current at TA = +75°C with VGS = 4.5V, based on thermal derating from the 0.3A rating at 25°C. This reflects the device's RθJA = 439°C/W on standard FR-4 and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow conditions.
Can DMN2991UT-13 be used in high-side switching configurations?
Yes-it supports high-side switching when the source is tied to the positive rail and gate is driven above that rail. However, due to its 20V VDSS rating and lack of integrated charge pump, it requires a gate driver capable of generating VGS ≥ 4.5V relative to the source node, limiting use to low-voltage rails (≤5V).
Is the SOT523 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the SOT523 package uses matte tin annealed terminations qualified per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is compatible with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds, provided board layout follows Diodes' recommended pad dimensions.
Does DMN2991UT-13 have avalanche rating or SOA curve validation?
No-datasheet Figure 12 shows Safe Operating Area (SOA) only for single-pulse conditions (100µs to 10s) under DC and pulsed loads, with no rated repetitive avalanche energy. Designers must implement external clamping or current limiting for inductive load switching to prevent unclamped inductive switching (UIS) failure.
