Product details
Overview
DMN3020LK3-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252-3L (DPAK) package, optimized for high-efficiency power management with RDS(on) = 20 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V and 34 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, supporting 16.7 A continuous drain current at TA = 25°C - used in DC-DC converters and LED backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN3020LK3-13 datasheet, DMN3020LK3-13 pinout, DMN3020LK3-13 application, or DMN3020LK3-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, fast switching (tD(off) = 16 ns), thermal resistance RθJA = 30.8 °C/W on 50 mm × 50 mm 2 oz FR4, and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology to achieve balanced conduction loss and switching speed. Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–3.0 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, while its body diode exhibits trr = 12 ns and Qrr = 4.8 nC for reduced recovery loss in synchronous rectification.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features RθJL = 2.24 °C/W for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, validated under JEDEC-standard surface-mount conditions on FR4 substrates with defined copper coverage and thickness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; suitable for 24 V rail systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 20 mΩ - enables ≤0.35 W conduction loss at 12 A, critical for thermally constrained DC-DC phases. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 34 mΩ - ensures usable on-resistance with standard logic-level gate drivers without level-shifting. |
| ID (continuous) | 16.7 A @ TA = 25°C - supports high-current buck converter outputs when paired with adequate PCB copper area. |
| tD(off) | 16 ns - short turn-off delay minimizes cross-conduction loss in synchronous buck topologies. |
| Qg @ 10 V | 12.9 nC - defines gate drive energy requirement; compatible with common MOSFET drivers like DIODES AP22802. |
| RθJA | 30.8 °C/W - measured on 50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm FR4 with 2 oz copper; sets thermal derating slope for ambient-limited designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252-3L (DPAK), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Drain) | Main current path from source to load | Connected to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and high-current routing; electrically tied to tab. |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate control and current return | Provides ground reference for gate driver; forms cathode of integrated body diode. |
| G (Gate) | Control terminal for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <13 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD per HBM Class 1C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 34 mΩ enables direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs or logic-level PWM controllers without gate boosting. |
| Fast switching performance | 12.9 nC total gate charge and 16 ns turn-off delay reduce switching losses below 500 kHz in hard-switched converters. |
| Integrated body diode | 1.2 V forward drop at 1.7 A and 12 ns reverse recovery support synchronous rectification in buck and flyback topologies. |
| RoHS-compliant "Green" construction | No halogens or antimony; meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A material declaration requirements. |
Applications
| LED Backlighting | DC-DC Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving parallel strings of white LEDs in LCD panel backlight units using constant-current PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role: High-side or low-side switch controlling LED current path during PWM on-cycles. Use Value: Low 34 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive reduces conduction loss and self-heating during 100% duty cycle, preserving luminance stability. | Use Scenario: Power stage switch in 12 V input to 3.3 V/5 V point-of-load buck regulators for FPGA or SoC power rails. IC Role / Device Role: Synchronous rectifier in high-frequency (300–600 kHz) buck converter output stage. Use Value: Fast 12 ns body diode recovery and low Qrr minimize shoot-through risk and improve efficiency >92% at 10 A load. |
| Power Management IC Interface | Load Switch for USB Peripherals |

IC Role / Device Role: Controlled power switch enabling/disabling downstream 3.3 V or 5 V domains based on system state. Use Value: 1.0–3.0 V gate threshold ensures reliable turn-on with PMIC's 3.3 V enable outputs, avoiding partial enhancement and thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Hot-swap protection and inrush limiting for USB-powered peripherals such as external HDDs or docking stations. IC Role / Device Role: Low-loss series pass element between upstream USB VBUS and downstream load. Use Value: 20 mΩ RDS(on) limits voltage drop to <300 mV at 1.5 A, maintaining USB 2.0 voltage compliance while reducing thermal footprint. |

FAQ
Is DMN3020LK3-13 still in active production?
No - the official Diodes Incorporated datasheet states "DISCONTINUED" on page 1. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers last-time-buy support with full traceability and extended lifecycle coordination for ongoing production programs.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for DMN3020LK3-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and the storage temperature range is –55°C to +150°C. Operation above 125°C requires derating per the RθJA curve; sustained operation beyond 135°C risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced reliability.
Can DMN3020LK3-13 be used in synchronous rectification?
Yes - its body diode has trr = 12 ns and Qrr = 4.8 nC, and its low RDS(on) allows it to replace Schottky diodes in secondary-side synchronous rectifiers up to 300 kHz in flyback or forward converters.
Does DMN3020LK3-13 require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 5–20 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 71 pF) and PCB inductance. The datasheet's switching test circuit uses RG ≅ 6.0 Ω, confirming suitability for standard gate driver layouts without added complexity.
