Product details
Overview
DMN5040LSS from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SO-8 package, delivering 40 mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = 10 V and 5.2 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C. It features low input capacitance (836 pF), fast switching (tD(ON) = 3.1 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN5040LSS datasheet, DMN5040LSS pinout, DMN5040LSS application, or DMN5040LSS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 77 °C/W thermal resistance with enhanced pad layout, SO-8 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 reliability validation for automotive-grade power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology to balance low conduction loss and fast switching performance. Its 50 V VDSS, ±20 V VGSS, and 13 A avalanche current rating support robust operation in unidirectional power switches and synchronous rectifier topologies.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 0.7–1.2 V forward voltage at 1 A, and exhibits gate charge values of 6.5 nC (VGS = 4.5 V) and 14.5 nC (VGS = 10 V), enabling efficient gate driver sizing for 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 50 V - Maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V and 36 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(ON) | 40 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤210 mW conduction loss at 5.2 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 5.2 A @ TA = +25°C - Sustains full-load current in compact SO-8 packages without forced air cooling. |
| Ciss | 836 pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and improves switching efficiency above 500 kHz. |
| tD(ON) | 3.1 ns - Short turn-on delay enables precise timing control in synchronous buck and half-bridge PWM stages. |
| RθJA | 77 °C/W - Achieved with 1-inch² copper pad; allows ~1.6 W dissipation before exceeding 150°C junction limit. |
| Qg (10 V) | 14.5 nC - Determines minimum gate driver peak current (e.g., ≥1.5 A for 10 ns rise time) in high-frequency designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (Surface-Mount, 8-pin, dual-gull-wing lead frame). Molded plastic case with matte tin annealed terminals; UL 94V-0 rated, MSL Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (S) | Common source connection for all four internal die cells; tied to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI control. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Parallel-connected drain terminals; handle full load current path and dissipate heat via exposed copper pad under package body. |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | Single gate pad (pin 1 side); requires <15 Ω series resistance to damp ringing during 10 V switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at 4.5 V | 60 mΩ - Enables direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Stress-tested per automotive reliability standards - suitable for under-hood motor drivers and lighting modules. |
| Green compound & RoHS | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - meets EU ELV and JGPSSI requirements. |
| Fast body diode recovery | tRR = 9.4 ns, QRR = 3.7 nC - Minimizes reverse-recovery losses in synchronous rectification and flyback snubbers. |
Applications
| Motor Control | DC-DC Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN5040LSD-13 | Same die, but SO-8 package with exposed drain pad (enhanced thermal pad); RθJA = 50 °C/W vs. 77 °C/W. | Better suited for >2 W continuous dissipation; requires modified PCB land pattern with thermal via array. | Select when junction temperature must stay below 125°C under 4 A steady-state load without airflow. |
| NTMFS5C428NT1G | 40 V VDSS, 3.6 mΩ RDS(ON) @ 10 V, PowerPAK SO-8; higher current rating (120 A pulsed) but larger footprint. | Targeted at high-current server VRMs; not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive stress screening. | Choose only for non-automotive, high-efficiency 12 V input supplies where ultra-low RDS(ON) outweighs qualification needs. |
Compared with DMN5040LSS, DMN5040LSD-13 offers superior thermal performance at the cost of PCB redesign, while NTMFS5C428NT1G trades automotive reliability for lower conduction loss in non-automotive infrastructure applications.

FAQ
Is DMN5040LSS suitable for 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes-its RDS(ON) is specified at 60 mΩ with VGS = 4.5 V, and typical VGS(TH) ranges from 1.0 V to 3.0 V. At 3.3 V gate drive, it delivers ~3.5 A continuous current with RDS(ON) ≈ 75 mΩ, making it viable for microcontroller-driven loads up to 2 A without external level shifting.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) limitation at 100 µs pulse width?
Per Figure 12, the SOA curve shows a DC limit of 5.2 A at VDS = 10 V, and a 100 µs pulse limit of 25 A at VDS = 5 V. This corresponds to a single-pulse energy limit of ~125 mJ, constrained by both avalanche capability (EAS = 8 mJ) and thermal inertia-pulse operation must remain within the bounded region to avoid second-breakdown.
Does DMN5040LSS require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a 10–15 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to suppress high-frequency oscillation caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 28 pF) interacting with PCB trace inductance. Without damping, ringing can exceed ±20 V on the gate, risking overvoltage damage or false turn-on during fast dV/dt transients.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at 1 A and tRR = 9.4 ns, outperforming standard silicon diodes but with higher forward drop than 0.4 V Schottkys. Its advantage lies in co-packaged integration-eliminating layout parasitics and enabling synchronous rectification without external diode placement or routing delays.
