Product details
Overview
DMN3042LFDF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 30V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in U-DFN2020-6 (Type F) package, featuring 28 mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = 10 V, 7.0 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C, and low 0.6 mm profile. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in compact DC-DC converters and load switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN3042LFDF-13 datasheet, DMN3042LFDF-13 pinout, DMN3042LFDF-13 application, or DMN3042LFDF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(ON) at 4.5 V (32 mΩ), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61 °C/W with 1-inch copper pad), gate charge (Qg = 13.3 nC @ 10 V), and U-DFN2020-6 footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate process optimized for low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching speed (tD(ON) = 1.5 ns, tF = 4.9 ns) and low input capacitance (Ciss = 570 pF). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(TH) = 0.6–1.4 V) supports direct logic-level drive from 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.7–1.2 V @ IS = 1 A and tRR = 7.8 ns, enabling synchronous rectification and flyback recovery in buck and boost topologies. Thermal design is enabled by RθJC = 9.3 °C/W and a 0.007 g mass suited for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; suitable for 24 V rail and 12 V automotive auxiliary systems. |
| RDS(ON) @ 10 V | 28 mΩ - Enables ≤196 mW conduction loss at 7 A; critical for efficiency in portable power stages. |
| RDS(ON) @ 4.5 V | 32 mΩ - Ensures robust turn-on with standard 3.3 V GPIOs without gate boosting. |
| Qg @ 10 V | 13.3 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; enables <100 kHz PWM operation with low-drive ICs. |
| PD (with 1″ Cu) | 2.1 W - Supports 6.5 A continuous current at TA = +70°C with minimal heatsinking. |
| Ciss | 570 pF - Limits Miller-induced shoot-through risk; simplifies gate drive layout in half-bridge designs. |
| tRR | 7.8 ns - Reduces reverse recovery loss in synchronous rectifiers and improves light-load efficiency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3025LFD-7 | RDS(ON) = 25 mΩ @ 10 V (lower), but 3.0 V VGS(TH) min (higher gate drive requirement). | Requires ≥4.5 V gate drive; less suitable for 3.3 V logic interfaces. | Select when lowest conduction loss is prioritized and gate drive voltage ≥4.5 V is available. |
| AO3414 | RDS(ON) = 33 mΩ @ 4.5 V (slightly higher), Qg = 10.5 nC (lower), and SO-8 package (larger footprint). | Larger thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 90 °C/W) limits power density in space-constrained designs. | Choose for legacy SO-8 board reuse or where lower gate charge outweighs RDS(ON) penalty. |
Compared with DMN3025LFD-7 and AO3414, DMN3042LFDF-13 uniquely balances 32 mΩ RDS(ON) @ 4.5 V, 13.3 nC Qg, and 0.6 mm height-enabling high-efficiency, ultra-compact switching in battery-powered and USB-C systems where both logic-level drive and thermal density matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The DMN3042LFDF-13 supports 5.6 A continuous drain current at TA = +70°C with standard FR-4 PCB and 2 oz copper, per Note 6 in the datasheet. This rating assumes use of the recommended 1-inch square copper pad for thermal enhancement and accounts for derating due to junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA = 61 °C/W).
Is this MOSFET qualified for automotive applications?
While DMN3042LFDF-13 is not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101, Diodes Incorporated states that automotive-grade versions with AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing are available upon request. Standard units meet industrial temperature range (–55°C to +150°C) and green compliance requirements applicable to many non-safety-critical automotive subsystems.
How does the U-DFN2020-6 (Type F) package affect PCB layout?
The U-DFN2020-6 (Type F) requires precise stencil aperture design for the exposed drain pad (Pb-free NiPdAu plating) and strict solder paste volume control to prevent voiding. Diodes recommends a 0.4 mm × 0.95 mm thermal pad with 0.3 mm solder mask opening and 0.15 mm solder paste thickness to achieve reliable thermal transfer and mechanical adhesion per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Can this MOSFET be used in linear regulation mode?
Yes-the DMN3042LFDF-13 supports linear operation within its Safe Operating Area (SOA), as shown in Figure 12 of the datasheet. At TC = 25°C, it sustains 1.5 A at 10 V VDS for DC operation. However, power dissipation must be limited to ≤2.1 W with proper copper thermal relief, and gate drive must remain within ±12 V to avoid oxide damage during extended linear bias.
