Product details
Overview
DMTH43M8LFVW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PowerDI3333-8 package, rated for 96A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C, with RDS(ON) of 4.3mΩ @ VGS = 10V and 7.5mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V, operating up to +175°C - deployed in high-efficiency DC-DC converters for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the DMTH43M8LFVW-7 datasheet, DMTH43M8LFVW-7 pinout, DMTH43M8LFVW-7 application, or DMTH43M8LFVW-7 equivalent, this device is selected for high-current, high-temperature switching where low conduction loss, robust UIS performance, and wettable flank optical inspection capability are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low RDS(ON) × Qgd figure-of-merit (FOM), enabling fast switching with minimal overlap loss in synchronous buck topologies. Its 100% production-tested unclamped inductive switching (UIS) ensures reliability under hard-switching stress conditions.
The device features a thermally enhanced PowerDI3333-8 package with exposed drain pad, achieving RθJC = 2.3°C/W and supporting 65W total power dissipation at TC = +25°C. Gate threshold voltage (VGS(TH)) is tightly specified at 1–2.5V, ensuring stable turn-on across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for input voltage in 12V/24V automotive DC-DC stages. |
| RDS(ON) @ 10V | 4.3mΩ - Enables ≤0.86W conduction loss at 96A; critical for thermal management in compact power modules. |
| RDS(ON) @ 4.5V | 7.5mΩ - Supports logic-level gate drive from 3.3V/5V controllers without level-shifting, reducing BOM count. |
| ID (TC=25°C) | 96A - Continuous current rating referenced to case temperature; defines heatsink sizing when mounted on copper plane. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +175°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial motor control junctions. |
| Qg @ 10V | 36.9nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed; balances efficiency vs. EMI in 300–1000kHz designs. |
| EAS | 83.2mJ - Energy-handling capability during inductive turn-off; validates robustness in boost converter freewheeling phase. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI3333-8 (SWP, Type UX), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad and wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Drain) | Power Drain (common source connection) | All pins 1–8 connect internally to the exposed drain pad; provides low-inductance, high-current path and primary thermal conduction path to PCB. |
| Source (S) | Source terminal (pins 1–4 bottom-side) | Source leads are bonded to internal source metallization; used for current return and gate drive reference in half-bridge configurations. |
| Gate (G) | Control input (pin 5 top-side) | Single gate input with 2.4Ω typical gate resistance; designed for direct drive from PWM controllers without external gate resistor in most cases. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTP40N40P | 400V VDSS, 40mΩ RDS(ON), TO-220 package, RθJC = 1.5°C/W but no wettable flanks. | Higher voltage margin but 10× higher RDS(ON); suitable only for low-current, high-voltage flyback snubbers - not DC-DC primary switches. | Select only if system requires >100V blocking and discrete heatsinking is available; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules. |
| STL220N4F7AG | 40V VDSS, 2.2mΩ RDS(ON) @ 10V, PowerFLAT 5x6 package, RθJC = 1.8°C/W, AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lower RDS(ON) but no production UIS testing; lacks wettable flanks and +175°C extended temp rating. | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical 12V systems where maximum efficiency outweighs ruggedness; avoid in engine compartment deployments. |
Compared with IXTP40N40P and STL220N4F7AG, DMTH43M8LFVW-7 uniquely combines automotive-grade +175°C operation, wettable flank AOI support, and production-tested UIS - making it the only option validated for under-hood DC-DC converters requiring zero field failure in harsh thermal cycling.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for DMTH43M8LFVW-7?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20V per the datasheet's Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should be clamped to +12V to +15V with a series resistor to limit peak current during fast transitions, especially in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives.
Does DMTH43M8LFVW-7 require a gate resistor in typical DC-DC applications?
A gate resistor is recommended despite the device's 2.4Ω intrinsic Rg. A 2.2Ω to 10Ω external resistor controls dV/dt, suppresses ringing caused by PCB parasitics, and prevents false triggering from Miller-induced spikes - particularly critical in synchronous buck converters operating above 300kHz.
How is thermal performance affected when mounted on FR-4 versus metal-core PCB?
On standard FR-4 (2oz Cu), RθJA is 41°C/W and RθJC is 2.3°C/W. On aluminum-backed MCPCB with thermal vias to the baseplate, RθJA improves to ~12°C/W. The exposed drain pad must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper area with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to achieve rated 96A current capacity.
Is DMTH43M8LFVW-7 qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
While the device is rated for +175°C operation and built in IATF 16949-certified facilities, Diodes does not list DMTH43M8LFVW-7 as AEC-Q101 qualified in its official product definitions. For AEC-Q101-compliant alternatives, contact Diodes' automotive team for PPAP-capable variants such as the DMT43M8LPSQ-7.
