Diodes Incorporated DMTH6016LFVW-13

Overview

DMTH6016LFVW-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V, 175°C-rated N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PowerDI3333-8 package, with R_DS(ON) = 16 mΩ @ V_GS = 10V and 27 mΩ @ V_GS = 4.5V, delivering 41A continuous drain current at T_C = +25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in DC-DC converters and backlighting circuits where thermal robustness and low conduction loss are critical.

For engineers reviewing the DMTH6016LFVW-13 datasheet, DMTH6016LFVW-13 pinout, DMTH6016LFVW-13 application, or DMTH6016LFVW-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175°C junction rating, wettable flank terminals for automated optical inspection, 100% unclamped inductive switching capability, and AEC-Q-qualified automotive-compliant variant (DMTH6016LFVWQ).

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low R_DS(ON) while maintaining fast switching performance: t_D(ON) = 3.9 ns, t_R = 6.3 ns, Q_g = 15.1 nC @ V_GS = 10V. Its SOA supports single-pulse operation up to 160A with 1µs pulse width at T_C = 25°C.

Thermal design is enabled by R_θJC = 3.7°C/W and R_θJA = 63°C/W on 2oz copper FR-4 with thermal bias - critical for compact power stages in space-constrained industrial and automotive modules.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?

The DMTH6016LFVW-13 supports 29A continuous drain current at T_C = +100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the PowerDI3333-8 package and must be verified against actual PCB layout and airflow conditions using the provided R_θJC = 3.7°C/W and transient thermal resistance curves.

Does this MOSFET support 3.3V logic-level gate drive?

Yes - its gate threshold voltage V_GS(TH) is 1–2.5V, and R_DS(ON) = 27 mΩ @ V_GS = 4.5V confirms strong enhancement at 3.3V with appropriate gate resistor selection. However, full 41A rating requires V_GS ≥ 10V; for 3.3V drive, limit I_D to ≤18A per the 4.5V curve.

Is the PowerDI3333-8 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?

Yes - the DMTH6016LFVW-13 is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), with matte tin-annealed terminals over copper leadframe and halogen/antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.

How does the 100% UIS rating impact circuit design?

The 100% unclamped inductive switching rating means the device is tested and guaranteed to survive single-pulse avalanche events up to I_AS = 16A and E_AS = 12.8mJ without degradation. This eliminates the need for external clamping diodes or snubbers in relay, solenoid, or transformer primary-switching applications - simplifying layout and improving long-term field reliability.
