Product details
Overview
DMN2991UTQ from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT523 package, rated for 20V VDSS, 0.3A continuous drain current at 25°C, with RDS(ON) = 3Ω @ VGS = 4.5V and gate threshold voltage ≤1.0V. It serves as a low-voltage load switch in space-constrained automotive and portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN2991UTQ datasheet, DMN2991UTQ pinout, DMN2991UTQ application, or DMN2991UTQ equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VGS(TH), sub-1Ω typical RDS(ON) at 4.5V, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT523 footprint compatibility, and ESD-protected gate integrity under 1.8V control.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology optimized for low gate charge (Qg = 0.35nC) and fast switching (tD(ON) = 5.6ns), enabling high-efficiency operation in DC-DC converter synchronous rectification and battery-powered load switching. Its 1.0V max VGS(TH) ensures reliable turn-on from single-cell Li-ion or 1.8V logic rails.
The device features integrated ESD protection on the gate terminal, low input capacitance (Ciss = 21.5pF), and thermal resistance RθJA = 439°C/W on FR-4 PCB-critical for thermally isolated layouts in compact automotive modules and wearables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20V - supports input rails up to 18V after derating, suitable for 12V automotive subsystems and USB PD auxiliary power paths |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 4.5V | 3Ω max - enables <100mW conduction loss at 0.18A, critical for low-power always-on circuitry |
| VGS(TH) max | 1.0V - guarantees full enhancement with 1.2V GPIO outputs, eliminating need for level shifters in MCU-driven switches |
| Qg | 0.35nC - reduces gate drive power and switching transition time, lowering dynamic losses in 1–5MHz DC-DC controllers |
| Ciss | 21.5pF - minimizes Miller effect and improves noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments like motor driver gate drivers |
| TJ range | −55°C to +150°C - validated for under-hood automotive locations and industrial edge sensor nodes without thermal throttling |
Pinout & Package
SOT523 ultra-small surface-mount package (1.60 × 1.60 × 0.55 mm), molded green compound, matte tin–annealed terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | ESD-protected input accepting 0–4.5V logic; ≤1.0V threshold enables direct microcontroller interface without pull-up |
| S (Source) | Reference node | Internally connected to substrate; must be tied to system ground or low-side return path for proper channel formation |
| D (Drain) | Power output node | Carries switched load current up to 0.3A; connects to positive rail or high-side load in reverse-biased body diode configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate threshold | VGS(TH) ≤1.0V ensures robust turn-on from 1.2V/1.8V I/O domains, reducing BOM count in mixed-voltage SoC designs |
| Low RDS(ON) at low VGS | 6Ω @ VGS = 1.8V enables efficient operation directly from LDO outputs or battery monitors without gate boosting |
| ESD-protected gate | HBM rating ≥2kV per JEDEC JS-001 - eliminates need for external gate protection in handheld and automotive infotainment modules |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | PPAP-capable production in IATF 16949 facilities - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements for body control and ADAS auxiliary functions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-threshold load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK3-7 | RDS(ON) = 2.5Ω @ 4.5V, VGS(TH) = 0.7V typ, SOT-723 package (smaller footprint than SOT523) | Higher gate charge (0.45nC) and lower ID rating (0.25A) limit use in higher-current DC-DC sync rectifiers | Select when board area is constrained below 1.2mm² and gate drive voltage is stable ≥2.5V |
| AO3414 | RDS(ON) = 55mΩ @ 4.5V, VGS(TH) = 1.5V min, SOT-23 package (larger, higher thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; lacks ESD protection; unsuitable for automotive PPAP programs | Choose only for non-automotive consumer applications where cost outweighs qualification and reliability requirements |
Compared with DMN2991UTQ, DMN2004LK3-7 offers tighter VGS(TH) but reduced current capability and no AEC-Q101 status, while AO3414 delivers far lower RDS(ON) but fails automotive qualification and requires ≥2.5V gate drive-making DMN2991UTQ optimal for AEC-compliant, ultra-low-voltage, space-limited load switching.

FAQ
Is DMN2991UTQ suitable for high-frequency PWM switching above 1 MHz?
Yes-its 0.35nC total gate charge and 5.6ns turn-on delay support clean switching up to 5MHz in low-duty-cycle applications. However, thermal limits (0.28W PD on FR-4) require careful layout and current derating above 1MHz to avoid junction overheating.
Can DMN2991UTQ replace a P-channel MOSFET in high-side switching configurations?
No-it is an N-channel device requiring gate voltage above source potential. For high-side switching, it must be used with a charge pump or gate driver that provides ≥VIN + 1.0V at the gate; direct replacement of P-channel devices without level-shifting circuitry will result in incomplete turn-on.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) for pulsed drain current?
Per Figure 12, the SOA supports 1.4A pulsed drain current at 10μs pulse width and 1% duty cycle. At 100μs, maximum current drops to ~0.6A; sustained DC current must remain ≤0.24A at +75°C ambient to stay within RθJA = 291°C/W thermal limit.
Does the SOT523 package support reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes-the device is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 and qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). The matte tin–annealed terminals ensure reliable wetting, and the UL 94V-0 molding compound withstands repeated thermal cycling without delamination.
