Product details
Overview
DMN31D5L-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for 30V VDSS, 1.5Ω RDS(ON) at VGS = 4.0V, and 0.5A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It delivers low on-resistance with fast switching speed and ESD-protected gate, targeting compact power management in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DMN31D5L-7 datasheet, DMN31D5L-7 pinout, DMN31D5L-7 application, or DMN31D5L-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0Ω RDS(ON) at 2.5V gate drive, 50pF Ciss, 350mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB, and suitability for low-duty-cycle load switching in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a gate threshold voltage (VGS(TH)) of 0.8–1.6V, enabling reliable turn-on from 2.5V logic-level sources. Its low input capacitance (Ciss = 50pF) and fast switching times (tD(ON) = 3.5ns, tF = 13.8ns) support high-frequency PWM control in DC-DC converters and LED drivers.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with VSD ≤ 1.2V at IS = 10mA and supports pulsed drain currents up to 5A (10µs, 1% duty). Thermal resistance RθJA is 357°C/W on standard FR-4 layout, limiting steady-state power handling without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction begins. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 4.0V | 1.5Ω - On-resistance determining I²R conduction loss in 3.3V/5V logic-driven switches. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 2.5V | 2.0Ω - Confirmed usable drive margin for low-voltage microcontrollers and battery-supplied circuits. |
| Ciss | 50pF - Input capacitance directly affecting gate drive energy and switching transition time. |
| tF | 13.8ns - Fall time defining minimum achievable PWM off-time and reverse recovery behavior. |
| PD (FR-4, 2oz Cu) | 350mW - Steady-state power limit on standard PCB layout without thermal relief pads. |
| VGS(TH) | 0.8–1.6V - Gate threshold range ensuring turn-on compatibility with 1.8V–3.3V I/O domains. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals, 0.009g mass, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal (high-side or low-side switch node) | Connected to load or supply rail; handles full switched current and must be routed with adequate copper area for thermal management. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | ESD-protected input requiring <10kΩ series resistor for robustness; sensitive to floating conditions during PCB handling. |
| Source (S) | Reference terminal for gate drive and current return path | Typically tied to ground (low-side) or load (high-side); forms body diode cathode and influences thermal coupling to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at 2.5V drive | 2.0Ω enables direct interface with 2.5V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting circuitry. |
| ESD-protected gate | HBM rating ≥2kV per JEDEC JS-001, reducing need for external TVS protection in handheld designs. |
| Low Ciss (50pF) | Minimizes gate charge (Qg = 0.5nC @ 4.5V), lowering driver power and enabling >1MHz switching. |
| Green, halogen-free construction | <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - compliant with RoHS 3 and automotive material declarations. |
| Fast turn-off (tF = 13.8ns) | Reduces switching losses in PWM dimming and synchronous rectification applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3026L-7 | RDS(ON) = 0.85Ω @ VGS = 4.5V; higher IDmax = 1.2A; same SOT23 package | Better suited for higher-current loads (>0.6A) where lower conduction loss justifies increased gate charge (Qg = 1.6nC) | Select when system requires <1Ω on-resistance and can support stronger gate drive capability. |
| AO3400 | RDS(ON) = 0.55Ω @ VGS = 10V; no specified 2.5V drive rating; slightly larger RθJA = 390°C/W | Requires 4.5–10V gate drive; less suitable for 2.5V logic; higher thermal resistance limits power density | Choose only if gate voltage is guaranteed ≥4.5V and board layout allows extra thermal margin. |
Compared with DMN31D5L-7, DMN3026L-7 offers lower RDS(ON) but demands more gate drive energy, while AO3400 lacks verified 2.5V operation and has inferior thermal performance-making DMN31D5L-7 optimal for ultra-low-voltage, space-constrained load switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMN31D5L-7?
The DMN31D5L-7 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its absolute maximum rating is TJ = +150°C; sustained operation above this threshold risks permanent parametric shift or thermal runaway. Derating is required above +75°C ambient due to RθJA = 357°C/W on standard FR-4 layout.
Can DMN31D5L-7 be used in high-side switching configurations?
Yes, DMN31D5L-7 supports high-side switching when driven by a gate voltage exceeding the source potential by ≥2.5V. However, it requires a dedicated high-side driver or charge pump since its VGS rating is ±20V and no integrated bootstrap circuitry exists. The body diode orientation (source-to-drain) must also be verified for intended current direction.
Is the DMN31D5L-7 RoHS 3 and REACH compliant?
Yes, DMN31D5L-7 is fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3), containing <900ppm bromine, <900ppm chlorine, and <1000ppm antimony compounds. It is also REACH SVHC-free per Diodes Incorporated's published compliance documentation and carries "Green" and halogen-free markings per datasheet Note 3.
What is the typical gate charge required to fully turn on DMN31D5L-7?
The total gate charge (Qg) is 0.5nC at VGS = 4.5V and 1.2nC at VGS = 10V, measured under VDS = 10V and ID = 250mA. For 2.5V–4.0V logic-level drive, effective Qg falls between these values, with Qgs = 0.2nC and Qgd = 0.1nC confirming rapid Miller plateau traversal.
