Product details
Overview
DMT8012LSS-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an 80V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for 9.7A continuous drain current at 25°C and featuring 16.5mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = 10V. It delivers low conduction loss and fast switching for high-efficiency power management in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DMT8012LSS-13 datasheet, DMT8012LSS-13 pinout, DMT8012LSS-13 application, or DMT8012LSS-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80V VDSS, 16.5mΩ/20mΩ RDS(ON) at 10V/4.5V, AEC-Q101 qualification, SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 53°C/W with 1-in² copper), and 100% UIS-tested ruggedness.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low RDS(ON) while preserving fast switching speed (tD(ON) = 4.9ns, tF = 3.5ns) and low gate charge (QG = 34nC at 10V). Its body diode exhibits VSD = 0.9–1.2V at 20A and supports synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
The device is characterized for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with RDS(ON) increasing by ~2.5× from 25°C to 150°C at fixed VGS. Thermal resistance is specified for both standard FR-4 (RθJA = 80°C/W) and enhanced layout (RθJA = 53°C/W), enabling accurate thermal design in compact PCBs.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN6016LFG-7 | 60V VDSS, 16.5mΩ @ 10V, same SO-8 package but lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 64V transient-tolerant designs; limited to ≤48V systems | Select only if input voltage stays below 50V and board space prohibits larger packages |
| SI7157DP-T1-GE3 | 80V VDSS, 18mΩ @ 10V, higher QG (42nC), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive reliability validation; higher gate drive loss in high-frequency operation | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with DMT8012LSS-13, DMN6016LFG-7 trades voltage margin for identical RDS(ON) in lower-voltage systems, while SI7157DP-T1-GE3 offers similar voltage rating but sacrifices ruggedness and switching efficiency-making DMT8012LSS-13 optimal for thermally constrained, automotive-qualified, or high-reliability 80V loadswitching.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for DMT8012LSS-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C per the datasheet. Operation at this limit requires strict thermal design: with RθJA = 53°C/W and ambient at +70°C, maximum allowable power dissipation is 1.5W. Derating curves in Figure 12 confirm single-pulse safe operating area up to 11.6A at 80V for 100µs.
Can DMT8012LSS-13 be used in a synchronous rectifier configuration?
Yes-the device's body diode has VSD = 0.9–1.2V at 20A and trr < 50ns (inferred from fast switching times), making it suitable for synchronous rectification in buck or flyback topologies. However, external gate control is required since it lacks integrated driver circuitry.
Does DMT8012LSS-13 support 3.3V logic-level gate drive?
No-it is not a true logic-level MOSFET. At VGS = 3.3V, RDS(ON) exceeds 45mΩ (extrapolated from Figure 4), resulting in excessive conduction loss. Minimum recommended VGS is 4.5V for reliable 8.8A operation; a gate driver or level shifter is required for 3.3V microcontroller interfaces.
How does the SO-8 package's multiple drain and source pins improve performance?
The three parallel drain pins (pins 3,4,5) and three source pins (pins 2,7,8) reduce package resistance and inductance, improving current sharing, thermal spreading, and high-frequency switching stability. This layout lowers effective RDS(ON) by ~10% versus single-pin equivalents and suppresses voltage spikes during hard switching.
