Diodes Incorporated ZXMS6004DN8-13

Overview

ZXMS6004DN8-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, 60V N-channel self-protected low-side IntelliFET® MOSFET with logic-level input (3.3V/5V compatible), 400–600 mΩ R_DS(ON), 1.3A nominal load current at 5V, and integrated overvoltage (active clamp), overcurrent, thermal shutdown, and ESD protection. It serves as a rugged, drop-in replacement for electromechanical relays and discrete switch circuits in harsh industrial loads.

For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6004DN8-13 datasheet, ZXMS6004DN8-13 pinout, ZXMS6004DN8-13 application, or ZXMS6004DN8-13 equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability DC switching of inductive/resistive loads where fault resilience, μC compatibility, and SO-8 board-mount integration are critical - especially in lamp, motor, solenoid, and relay driver designs.

Technical Context

The ZXMS6004DN8-13 integrates two electrically isolated low-side power switches in a single SO-8 package, each featuring active V_DS clamping (60–70 V), current limiting (1.7 A typ. at 5 V), and thermal trip at +150 °C with +10 °C hysteresis. Its logic-level gate drive enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.

It operates across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient, supports linear-mode operation with inherent current-limit deactivation at low V_DS, and delivers 120 mJ unclamped inductive energy rating. Protection functions auto-restart after fault clearance, ensuring robust recovery in transient overload conditions.

FAQ

Can ZXMS6004DN8-13 drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?

Yes. The device integrates active overvoltage clamping that limits V_DS to 60–70 V during inductive turn-off, eliminating the need for external freewheeling diodes in most 24 V DC applications. This is confirmed by its 120 mJ E_AS rating and functional block diagram showing internal clamp circuitry.

What is the maximum continuous current per channel at +85 °C ambient?

At +85 °C ambient, the continuous current is thermally limited to approximately 0.75 A per channel when mounted on a standard FR-4 board with minimum recommended copper pads (R_θJA = 103 °C/W). Derating curves in Figure 1 of DS38040 confirm this value based on 1.21 W P_D and 150 °C T_J(max).

Does ZXMS6004DN8-13 support PWM dimming of LED loads?

Yes. Its fast switching times (t_r = 10 µs, t_f = 15 µs) and logic-level compatibility enable clean 1–20 kHz PWM dimming without shoot-through or thermal runaway. The current-limit function remains active during PWM, protecting against LED string short-circuits.

Is the SO-8 package pinout compatible with industry-standard dual MOSFET footprints?

Yes. The ZXMS6004DN8-13 uses a standard SO-8 outline (per AP02002) with 1.27 mm pitch, matching JEDEC MS-012. Pin 1 (IN1) is marked by a notch or dot; pins 7 and 8 are NC and must remain unconnected - consistent with common dual-FET layout practices.
