Product details
Overview
DMT6012LFV-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PowerDI3333-8 package, delivering 12 mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = 10 V and 43.3 A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It features ESD-protected gate, 100% UIS-tested robustness, and thermally efficient small-footprint packaging-optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and backlighting power stages.
For engineers reviewing the DMT6012LFV-13 datasheet, DMT6012LFV-13 pinout, DMT6012LFV-13 application, or DMT6012LFV-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(ON) at 4.5 V (15 mΩ), 170 A pulsed drain capability, integrated body diode with 25.8 ns reverse recovery time, and thermal resistance of 3.7°C/W junction-to-case-critical for compact, high-current power switches.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology to balance low conduction loss and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (1–2.5 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drive, while the 22.2 nC total gate charge at VGS = 10 V supports efficient PWM control in synchronous buck topologies.
The device integrates an optimized body diode with 15.1 nC QRR and 25.8 ns tRR, reducing switching losses in hard-commutated applications. Its PowerDI3333-8 package provides direct thermal path via exposed drain pad and achieves 33% board area reduction versus SO-8-enabling higher power density in space-constrained designs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMT6004LPS-13 | Lower RDS(ON) (4.2 mΩ @ 10 V) but larger PowerDI5060-8 package (5.0 × 6.0 mm) | Higher power density not required; board space available for improved thermal margin | Select when thermal budget exceeds 40 W and board area permits larger footprint for lower conduction loss |
| DMTH6012LPS-13 | Same RDS(ON) spec but TO-252 (DPAK) package with higher RθJA (70°C/W vs. 64°C/W) | Legacy PCB design with DPAK land pattern; no rework for thermal pad routing | Choose for drop-in replacement on existing DPAK-based boards where PowerDI3333-8 re-layout is impractical |
Compared with DMT6012LFV-13, DMT6004LPS-13 trades board area for lower conduction loss in high-current, thermally relaxed designs, while DMTH6012LPS-13 sacrifices thermal efficiency for mechanical compatibility with legacy DPAK footprints-making DMT6012LFV-13 optimal for new compact, high-frequency power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for DMT6012LFV-13?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage (VGS) is ±20 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should be limited to 12 V maximum in production designs, with transient spikes clamped using Zener diodes or gate resistors to prevent overshoot beyond ±15 V during switching transitions.
Does DMT6012LFV-13 require external gate resistors in typical DC-DC applications?
Yes-external gate resistors (typically 2.2–10 Ω) are recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 27.5 pF) and PCB trace inductance. Without damping, oscillations can exceed VGS ratings or cause false turn-on; resistor value balances switching speed (tR/tF) and EMI control.
How is thermal performance affected when the exposed drain pad is not soldered to a thermal plane?
Without connection to a ≥1-inch² 2 oz copper thermal pad, RθJA degrades from 64°C/W to >122°C/W. This reduces maximum continuous power dissipation from 33.78 W to <1.95 W at ambient-potentially causing thermal runaway at >5 A. Full thermal performance requires soldering all drain pins and the exposed pad to a dedicated thermal copper area.
Can DMT6012LFV-13 be used in linear regulator applications?
No-it is not characterized or rated for linear-mode operation. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows only pulse-limited operation (e.g., 10 ms at 20 A), with no DC or extended pulse capability. Linear use would exceed junction temperature limits due to uncontrolled thermal runaway; it is strictly intended for switched-mode applications.
