Product details
Overview
DMT8012LK3-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an 80V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252 (DPAK) package, featuring 17 mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = 10 V, 44 A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C, and fast switching with 4.9 ns turn-on delay. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in synchronous rectification stages of DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the DMT8012LK3-13 datasheet, DMT8012LK3-13 pinout, DMT8012LK3-13 application, or DMT8012LK3-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(ON) at 4.5 V (22 mΩ), thermal resistance RθJC = 2.5 °C/W, body diode recovery charge Qrr = 34.6 nC, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial power management designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology to balance low conduction loss and controlled gate charge (Qg = 34 nC @ 10 V), enabling efficient operation in hard-switched and synchronous buck topologies. Its 10.2 mJ avalanche energy rating supports robustness under transient overvoltage conditions.
The device integrates a low-VSD body diode (0.9–1.2 V @ 25 A) with 30.2 ns reverse-recovery time, optimized for bidirectional current handling in synchronous rectifier configurations where freewheeling path integrity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 80 V - Withstands up to 80 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset. |
| RDS(ON) | 17 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.0 W conduction loss at 12 A, critical for thermal budget in compact DC-DC designs. |
| ID (continuous) | 44 A @ TC = +25°C - Supports high-current output stages without forced airflow when mounted on 1-in² copper pad. |
| Qg | 34 nC @ VGS = 10 V - Determines gate drive power requirement and switching transition time in PWM controllers. |
| RθJC | 2.5 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting to sustain 50 W power dissipation with ≤125°C junction rise above case. |
| Qrr | 34.6 nC - Quantifies stored charge in body diode; lower values reduce switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectifiers. |
| trr | 30.2 ns - Fast reverse recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and improves efficiency in high-frequency (>500 kHz) converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic housing with exposed drain pad for PCB heat transfer. Dimensions per Diodes Inc. outline drawing: D = 6.10 mm, E = 6.58 mm, H = 9.91 mm, L = 1.59 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (S) | Low-side reference node; connects to ground or power return path; carries full load current in low-side switch configuration. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input (G) | High-impedance MOSFET control node; requires 10 V for full enhancement; gate resistance Rg = 0.7 Ω affects switching speed. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output (D) | Exposed metal pad on bottom surface; electrically and thermally connected to drain; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) @ 4.5 V | 22 mΩ - Enables 38 A operation with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers). |
| Fast switching speed | tD(ON) = 4.9 ns, tF = 3.5 ns - Reduces transition losses in high-frequency DC-DC converters operating up to 1 MHz. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified per AEC-Q standards for high-reliability applications - Validated for extended temperature cycling and moisture resistance (MSL Level 1). |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant - Meets environmental compliance requirements for industrial and consumer electronics. |
| Low input capacitance | Ciss = 1949 pF @ VDS = 40 V - Minimizes gate drive current demand and improves noise immunity in noisy power environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMT8012LK3Q-13 | Automotive-grade variant qualified to AEC-Q101; identical electrical specs but with PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability. | Required for automotive infotainment or ADAS power rails; not necessary for industrial or consumer use. | Select only if automotive qualification (e.g., change control, lot traceability) is mandated by end-customer requirements. |
| IPB017N10N5ATMA1 | 100 V rating, 1.7 mΩ RDS(ON) @ 10 V, TO263 package; higher current capability (120 A) but larger footprint and higher gate charge (120 nC). | Better suited for high-power server VRMs; excessive performance for 44 A applications, increasing cost and drive complexity. | Choose only when system voltage margin exceeds 80 V or thermal design allows larger package and higher gate drive overhead. |
Compared with DMT8012LK3-13, the Q-suffix variant adds automotive compliance overhead without electrical benefit, while the Infineon part trades size, cost, and drive simplicity for headroom beyond typical 80 V industrial needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMT8012LK3-13?
The device is rated for TJ = –55°C to +150°C. Maximum continuous operation occurs at +150°C, validated via transient thermal resistance curves and SOA testing. Derating is required above 100°C ambient when mounted on FR-4 with 1-inch² copper; full 44 A current is only guaranteed at TC = +25°C.
Can DMT8012LK3-13 be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - its VGS(TH) range is 1–3 V, but full enhancement requires ≥4.5 V for RDS(ON) ≤22 mΩ. At 3.3 V, RDS(ON) rises significantly (>40 mΩ), increasing conduction loss. A level-shifting gate driver or dedicated MOSFET driver IC is required for reliable 3.3 V logic control.
Does DMT8012LK3-13 have integrated ESD protection on the gate?
Yes - the device includes built-in gate oxide protection rated to ±100 nA IGSS at ±20 V, meeting HBM ESD Class 1C (≥1 kV). However, external gate resistors (≥10 Ω) and TVS clamping are still recommended in high-noise industrial environments to prevent latch-up or overvoltage damage.
Is the TO252 (DPAK) package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the DMT8012LK3-13 uses matte tin annealed over copper leadframe and green molding compound compliant with EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), containing <900 ppm bromine, <900 ppm chlorine, and <1000 ppm antimony, certified per Diodes' internal "Green" definition and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
