Product details
Overview
DMN4009LK3-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252-3L (DPAK) package, featuring 8.5mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V and 27.6A continuous drain current at TA = 25°C. It delivers low conduction loss and fast switching for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and LED backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN4009LK3-13 datasheet, DMN4009LK3-13 pinout, DMN4009LK3-13 application, or DMN4009LK3-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5V (14mΩ), body diode recovery (trr = 141ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 28.6°C/W on 50mm×50mm 2oz FR4), and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–3.0V) supports 3.3V and 5V logic-level drive, and its 21nC total gate charge at VGS = 4.5V enables efficient operation in synchronous buck topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits 0.82V forward voltage at 14A and 141ns reverse recovery time, supporting high-frequency hard-switched and quasi-resonant power stages. Thermal design is enabled by validated RθJL = 0.85°C/W (junction-to-lead), critical for PCB copper-area-limited applications.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN4009LSD-13 | Same die, SO-8 package; higher RθJA (62°C/W), lower ID (13.2A) | Limited to <10A loads; unsuitable for high-power thermal pads | Select when board space is constrained and power <10W; avoid for >15A applications |
| IRLML6344TRPBF | 40V, 26mΩ @ 4.5V, 4.3A; smaller SOT-23 package, no drain pad | Only viable for <5A logic-level switching; lacks thermal mass for sustained loads | Choose only for ultra-low-power signal switching; not a functional replacement for DMN4009LK3-13 |
Compared with DMN4009LK3-13, DMN4009LSD-13 trades thermal performance for footprint reduction, while IRLML6344TRPBF sacrifices current capacity and thermal robustness for miniaturization-neither matches the original's 27.6A/8.5mΩ balance in DPAK form factor.

FAQ
Is DMN4009LK3-13 suitable for 5V logic-level gate drive?
Yes. With a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0–3.0V and RDS(on) = 14mΩ at VGS = 4.5V, it fully enhances using standard 5V microcontroller or PMIC outputs without external level shifting. Verified under pulsed conditions per datasheet Note 7.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The datasheet specifies 22.1A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with derating applied per Note 3. This assumes mounting on a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm FR4 PCB with 2oz copper, measured at t ≤ 10 seconds.
Does DMN4009LK3-13 have an integrated Schottky body diode?
No. It features a standard parasitic body diode inherent to vertical N-channel MOSFET structure. The diode has VSD = 0.82V at 14A and trr = 141ns, but it is not a discrete Schottky diode; no separate cathode/anode terminals exist.
Can DMN4009LK3-13 be used in synchronous rectification?
Yes. Its low RDS(on), fast body diode recovery (141ns), and low Qgd/Qgs ratio (10.7nC/7.3nC) make it suitable for synchronous rectification in buck and flyback topologies up to 1MHz, provided gate drive timing avoids shoot-through.
