Product details
Overview
ZXMS6004SGQTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel self-protected low-side IntelliFET™ MOSFET with logic-level input, designed for rugged switching in harsh environments. It delivers 1.3A nominal load current at 5V input, features 400–600mΩ RDS(ON), integrated active-clamp overvoltage protection (60–70V clamp), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6004SGQTA datasheet, ZXMS6004SGQTA pinout, ZXMS6004SGQTA application, or ZXMS6004SGQTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V/5V-compatible input threshold (0.7–1.5V), thermal shutdown with auto-restart, short-circuit protection with auto-restart, and linear-mode current limiting optimized for inrush-heavy loads like lamps and motors.
Technical Context
The ZXMS6004SGQTA integrates protection circuitry directly into the die: over-current detection triggers current limiting above 1.7A (at 5V input), over-temperature shutdown activates at +150°C to +175°C junction temperature with +10°C hysteresis, and active-clamp overvoltage protection clamps VDS to 60–70V during inductive flyback events.
Its logic-level gate drive enables direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without external level-shifting; input current remains ≤200μA at 5V, and the device supports linear-mode operation where current-limiting deactivates at low VDS to minimize on-state power loss-enabling thermally constrained DC operation up to 1.3A on 50mm×50mm 2oz copper PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Max | 60V - supports 24V DC systems with 150% voltage margin against transients |
| RDS(ON) | 350–500mΩ @ 5V VIN, 0.5A - enables <0.125W conduction loss at 0.5A |
| ID Continuous | 1.3A @ 5V, TA = +25°C on 50mm×50mm 2oz Cu - defines max steady-state load current under standard thermal layout |
| VIN(TH) | 0.7–1.5V - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3V μC outputs even with process/voltage/temp variation |
| EAS | 480mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy from motor/lamp loads without failure |
| TJ Operating Range | −40°C to +150°C - meets extended automotive ambient and junction temperature requirements |
| VESD (HBM) | 4000V - provides robust handling during board assembly and system integration |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path for load current | Internally tied to substrate ground; connects to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI control |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active-clamp overvoltage protection | Clamps VDS to 60–70V during inductive switching, eliminating need for external TVS or snubber networks |
| Auto-restarting short-circuit protection | Limiting engages above 2.2A (5V input); cycles off/on until fault clears-prevents latch-up and thermal runaway |
| Linear-mode current limiting | Deactivates at low VDS (<2V), enabling safe DC operation up to 1.3A without interference from protection circuitry |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and lighting modules per IATF 16949 manufacturing |
| Logic-level gate drive | Turns fully on with 3.3V microcontroller outputs-no gate driver IC required, reducing BOM count and layout area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side intelligent MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BTS3035SDL | Higher RDS(ON) (7.5mΩ typ @ 10V), requires 10V gate drive; no linear-mode capability | Designed for 12V automotive loads only; lacks 3.3V compatibility and active-clamp protection | Select when driving 12V resistive loads from 12V logic rails and thermal derating is less critical |
| STMicroelectronics VNQ5E025AJTR-E | Quad-channel, 25mΩ RDS(ON), SPI-configurable diagnostics; larger SO-16 package | Targeted at multi-load industrial PLC I/O modules-not single-channel replacement | Choose for systems needing channel diagnostics, fault reporting, and parallel load control in compact space |
Compared with BTS3035SDL and VNQ5E025AJTR-E, the ZXMS6004SGQTA uniquely combines 3.3V logic compatibility, active-clamp overvoltage protection, and linear-mode operation in a cost-optimized SOT223 package-making it optimal for single-load, microcontroller-driven applications where simplicity, ruggedness, and minimal BOM are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current the ZXMS6004SGQTA can deliver in a real-world PCB layout?
The ZXMS6004SGQTA delivers 1.3A continuous drain current when mounted on a 50mm × 50mm single-sided 2oz copper PCB per JESD51-2 standards. This rating assumes still-air conditions and proper thermal coupling of the drain tab to the copper pour. On smaller layouts (e.g., 15mm × 15mm 1oz Cu), the limit drops to 1.0A due to higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 125°C/W).
Does the ZXMS6004SGQTA require an external flyback diode when switching inductive loads?
No external flyback diode is required. The device integrates active-clamp overvoltage protection that limits VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off transients. This internal clamp safely dissipates 480mJ of unclamped inductive energy (EAS) without relying on external components-reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity.
Can the ZXMS6004SGQTA be used in linear (analog) mode for current regulation?
Yes-the current-limiting protection circuitry deactivates at low VDS (<2V), allowing stable linear-mode operation. In this mode, the maximum DC current is determined solely by PCB thermal design (up to 1.3A on optimized layouts), not by protection thresholds. This enables precise current regulation for lamp dimming or sensor biasing without oscillation or thermal instability.
Is the ZXMS6004SGQTA pin-compatible with other SOT223-packaged IntelliFET devices?
No-it is not pin-compatible with earlier IntelliFET generations such as ZXMS6002 or ZXMS6006. While all share the SOT223 (DN) outline, the ZXMS6004SGQTA assigns Gate to Pin 2 and Source to Pin 1, whereas ZXMS6002 uses Gate–Source–Drain ordering. Always verify pin mapping using the official top-view diagram in DS37151 Rev. 6-2 before layout reuse.
