Product details
Overview
DMT69M5LH3 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO251 (TH3) package, optimized for high-efficiency power switching with RDS(ON) = 10.5 mΩ @ VGS = 10V and 75A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It delivers low gate charge (Qg = 28.4 nC), fast switching (tF = 79.5 ns), and robust UIS capability (EAS = 37.5 mJ), making it suitable for motor control and LED backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMT69M5LH3 datasheet, DMT69M5LH3 pinout, DMT69M5LH3 application, or DMT69M5LH3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.3°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 100% production-tested UIS performance, gate threshold voltage range (1.4–2.5V), and compatibility with 4.5V logic-level drive in space-constrained industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology to balance low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior. Its RDS(ON) remains stable across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature, and body diode exhibits tRR = 26.7 ns with QRR = 44.8 nC under 300 A/μs di/dt conditions.
The device features low input capacitance (Ciss = 1406 pF) and reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 52 pF) at VDS = 30V, enabling efficient operation in hard-switched DC-DC converters and half-bridge motor drivers where Miller-induced shoot-through must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 48V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(ON) | 10.5 mΩ @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.5W conduction loss at 75A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A @ TC = +25°C - Requires infinite heatsink mounting; derates to 60A at TC = +70°C. |
| Qg | 28.4 nC @ VGS = 10V - Determines gate driver current requirement (~2.8 mA avg. for 100 kHz switching). |
| EAS | 37.5 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling without failure; validated per JEDEC JESD24-1. |
| RθJC | 1.3 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink; allows ~74W power dissipation before reaching TJ = 150°C. |
| tF | 79.5 ns - Fast fall time reduces switching transition losses in PWM-driven loads like BLDC gate drivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO251 (Type TH3), surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed drain pad on bottom side. Molded compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and RoHS 3 / "Green" compliance (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Accepts 0–20V logic-level signals; threshold voltage 1.4–2.5V enables compatibility with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Internally connected to exposed metal pad; primary thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink. |
| S (Source) | Power return reference | Common node for gate drive return and current sensing; ties to ground or low-side shunt resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested in production | Guarantees avalanche ruggedness without screening omissions-critical for inductive load commutation in motor drives. |
| Low Crss / Ciss ratio | 52/1406 pF = 3.7% - Reduces Miller effect, improving noise immunity and enabling higher dV/dt tolerance in half-bridge configurations. |
| Thermally efficient TO251 | RθJC = 1.3°C/W - Delivers 3× better thermal performance than comparable SO-8 MOSFETs, supporting higher power density. |
| Logic-level compatible VGS(TH) | 1.4–2.5V range - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V GPIOs, eliminating need for gate boosters in compact designs. |
Applications
| Motor Control | LED Backlighting |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side or high-side switch in H-bridge topology, handling bidirectional current up to 62A at 4.5V gate drive. Use Value: 15mΩ RDS(ON) @ 4.5V minimizes I²R loss during PWM dimming cycles, extending battery life in portable tools. |
Use Scenario: Constant-current regulation for edge-lit LCD panels in medical monitors and industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling current through LED strings; synchronized with PWM dimming controller. Use Value: Fast tF = 79.5 ns ensures precise current pulse shaping, reducing visible flicker and improving grayscale linearity. |
| DC-DC Converter | Power OR-ing |
|
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in 12V–48V isolated flyback or forward converters for telecom power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side switch replacing Schottky diode; driven by transformer-coupled or IC-based gate signal. Use Value: 10.5mΩ RDS(ON) cuts conduction loss by >50% vs. 40V Schottky, raising efficiency from 89% to 93% at full load. |
Use Scenario: Redundant 24V power rail selection in programmable logic controllers and rail-mounted I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ideal diode replacement in active OR-ing circuit; body diode provides fail-safe conduction path. Use Value: VSD = 0.8–1.2V ensures low forward drop during fault transitions, limiting voltage imbalance to <200mV between inputs. |
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 | RDS(ON) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10V but rated only for 40V VDSS; larger SO-8 package with RθJA = 62°C/W. | Better conduction loss at lower voltages; unsuitable for 48V bus transients exceeding 55V. | Select when operating below 40V with priority on RDS(ON), not avalanche capability. |
| IPB070N06LG | 60V, 7.0mΩ @ 10V, PG-HSOF-8 package; includes integrated ESD protection and tighter VGS(TH) distribution (1.2–2.2V). | Higher cost; requires different footprint and gate driver layout due to dual-source pinout. | Prefer for automotive-grade designs requiring AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced gate robustness. |
Compared with DMT69M5LH3, DMT6004LPS offers lower on-resistance but sacrifices voltage margin and thermal performance, while IPB070N06LG adds automotive qualification and tighter parametric control at the expense of board area and sourcing complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMT69M5LH3?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, verified per JEDEC JESD78. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of gate oxide integrity and increased RDS(ON). Thermal design must ensure TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, using RθJC = 1.3°C/W and appropriate heatsinking.
Can DMT69M5LH3 be used with 3.3V microcontroller GPIOs without a gate driver?
Yes-its VGS(TH) range (1.4–2.5V) ensures turn-on with 3.3V logic, and RDS(ON) = 15mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V supports moderate current loads. However, for 75A continuous operation, gate drive strength and PCB layout must minimize inductance to achieve full enhancement and avoid thermal runaway.
Does DMT69M5LH3 have built-in ESD protection on the gate?
No-this MOSFET lacks integrated gate protection diodes. External Zener clamping (e.g., 12V TVS between G and S) is recommended in environments with >2kV HBM risk. The gate oxide withstands ±20V VGS, but transient overvoltage beyond that causes irreversible damage.
How does the TO251 (TH3) package compare thermally to TO220AB for this device?
TO251 offers lower RθJC (1.3°C/W vs. ~1.0°C/W for TO220AB with identical heatsink), but its smaller footprint limits total heat spread. In practice, TO251 achieves comparable steady-state TJ at <50W dissipation, while TO220AB supports >100W with proper mounting-making TO251 optimal for space-constrained, medium-power applications.
