Product details
Overview
DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 40V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PowerDI3333-8 package, rated for +175°C operation, with RDS(ON) = 5.5 mΩ @ VGS = 10V and 7.9 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V, delivering 71A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It serves as a high-reliability power switch in automotive DC-DC converters and backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 datasheet, DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 pinout, DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 application, or DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wettable flank package for automated optical inspection, 100% production-tested UIS robustness, and low Qgd × RDS(ON) figure-of-merit for efficient switching in thermally constrained automotive environments.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12V/24V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.3V) enables compatibility with 3.3V and 5V logic-level drivers, while the body diode exhibits tRR = 59 ns and QRR = 50 nC under IF = 25A, di/dt = 100 A/μs conditions.
The device features a thermally enhanced PowerDI3333-8/SWP (Type UX) package with exposed drain pad, achieving RθJC = 2.9°C/W and supporting 51W power dissipation at TC = +25°C. Its normalized RDS(ON) variation remains ≤2.2× across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range at VGS = 10V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 36V automotive battery transients. |
| RDS(ON) @ 10V | 5.5 mΩ - Enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 71A, reducing thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| RDS(ON) @ 4.5V | 7.9 mΩ - Ensures usable on-resistance with standard 5V gate drivers in cost-sensitive modules. |
| Qg @ 10V | 13.9 nC - Low gate charge supports efficient 500 kHz+ switching in synchronous buck regulators. |
| trr / Qrr | 59 ns / 50 nC - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +175°C - Certified for under-hood applications including engine control and ADAS power stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI3333-8/SWP (Type UX), surface-mount, wettable flank, exposed drain pad for thermal and solder-joint reliability. Dimensions: 3.30 mm × 3.30 mm × 0.80 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Drain) | Power Drain (common source connection) | All pins 1–8 are internally connected to the exposed drain pad - provides low-inductance, high-current path and primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper. |
| G (Gate) | Control input | Pin 1 (top view marking side) - isolated gate terminal requiring <±20V drive; low Ciss = 978 pF reduces driver loading. |
| S (Source) | Reference node | Pins 2 & 3 (top view) - dual-source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| +175°C rated junction temperature | Enables direct placement near heat sources (e.g., inverters, motor drivers) without derating penalties in engine bay designs. |
| Wettable flank leads | Supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets on all four sides, improving manufacturing yield in automotive SMT lines. |
| 100% production UIS testing | Guarantees avalanche ruggedness up to IAS = 19.6 A and EAS = 19.2 mJ - eliminates field failures from inductive load switching events. |
| Low Qgd × RDS(ON) FOM | Qgd = 0.9 nC × RDS(ON) = 5.5 mΩ = 4.95 mΩ·nC - minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | RDS(ON) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10V but larger PowerFLAT 5x6 package; no wettable flank; Qg = 22.5 nC. | Better conduction loss but higher gate drive energy and less AOI-friendly; requires larger PCB footprint. | Select when ultra-low RDS(ON) dominates over board space and optical inspection requirements. |
| ON-SEMI NTMFS5C428NT1G | RDS(ON) = 4.2 mΩ @ 10V in SO-8FL; no AEC-Q101 PPAP support; RθJC = 3.5°C/W. | Lacks full automotive qualification documentation and has higher thermal resistance - unsuitable for PPAP-critical programs. | Acceptable only for non-safety-critical consumer-grade derivatives where AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS5C428NT1G, DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 uniquely balances low RDS(ON), wettable flank AOI capability, full PPAP support, and industry-leading thermal resistance (2.9°C/W) in a compact 3.3 mm² footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-volume automotive power modules requiring zero-defect manufacturing validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V, per the datasheet's "Maximum Ratings" table. Operation beyond this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable long-term performance, gate drive should be limited to –12 V to +15 V, with transient spikes clamped using Zener diodes or gate driver ICs with built-in protection.
Does DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 require a heatsink in typical automotive applications?
No external heatsink is required when mounted on a 2 oz copper PCB with ≥1 inch² thermal pad connected to the exposed drain. At TC = +100°C, it delivers 50 A continuously (PD = 51 W at TC = +25°C, derated to ~25 W at TC = +100°C), sufficient for most under-dash modules without forced airflow.
How does the wettable flank feature improve manufacturing yield?
The chamfered, solderable sidewalls on all four edges enable automated optical inspection (AOI) to verify solder fillet height and wetting quality - critical for detecting head-in-pillow or insufficient solder defects in automotive SMT lines. This eliminates reliance on X-ray for process validation and reduces rework rates in high-volume PPAP production.
Is DMTH45M5LFVWQ-7 qualified for use in safety-critical ADAS applications?
Yes - it is AEC-Q101 qualified, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, and supports PPAP documentation. While the MOSFET itself is not ASIL-rated, its robustness (100% UIS test, +175°C rating, low Qgd × RDS(ON)) makes it suitable for ASIL-B/C subsystems such as radar power supplies and camera module DC-DC stages when used within validated system-level safety mechanisms.
