Product details
Overview
ZXMS6005SGTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel self-protected IntelliFET™ MOSFET in SOT223 package, functioning as a rugged low-side power switch with integrated over-temperature, over-current, active-clamp over-voltage, and ESD protection. It delivers 2A nominal load current at 5V logic input, 200mΩ RDS(ON), and 480mJ unclamped inductive energy rating-ideal for driving lamps, motors, and relay-replacement loads in 12V automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6005SGTA datasheet, ZXMS6005SGTA pinout, ZXMS6005SGTA application, or ZXMS6005SGTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V/5V logic-compatible input threshold (0.7–1.5V), clamping VDS(AZ) of 60–70V, thermal shutdown at +150°C/+175°C trip/hysteresis, and validated operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The ZXMS6005SGTA integrates protection circuitry that deactivates current limiting at low VDS to minimize on-state power loss, enabling linear-mode operation where thermal design-not protection logic-governs maximum DC current. Its active clamp responds to VDS(SC) = 24V transients, while thermal shutdown and auto-restart ensure fault recovery without external intervention.
Designed for direct μC interfacing, it accepts 0–5.5V input voltage with VIH ≥ 3V and VIL ≤ 0.7V, draws only 60–200μA input current at 3–5V, and sustains 5A pulsed drain current at 3.3V input-enabling robust switching of inductive loads without snubbers or discrete protection components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60V continuous - supports 12V/24V DC systems with margin against load dump and inductive kickback |
| RDS(ON) | 150–250mΩ @ 5V input - enables <1.25W conduction loss at 2A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID(LIM) | 3.3–7A @ 5V input - programmable short-circuit current limit with auto-restart prevents latch-up during faults |
| EAS | 480mJ - withstands high-energy inductive turn-off events without external flyback diode or RC snubber |
| TJ Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments with no derating below +125°C ambient |
| VESD | 4000V HBM - eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level assembly |
| PD (1oz Cu) | 1.0W - defines thermal limit on standard PCB layout; derates 8mW/°C above +25°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with drain-connected tab for thermal dissipation. Weight: 0.112g. Moisture sensitivity level: J-STD-020 Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path and thermal reference | Connected to ground plane; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery current |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Logic-level control input | Accepts 3.3V/5V microcontroller signals; internal ESD protection and low 60–200μA input current reduce drive burden |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | High-side load connection point | Tab-connected terminal; handles 60V VDS, 5–6A pulsed current, and 480mJ inductive energy dissipation |
| Pin 4 (Drain Tab) | Thermal and electrical connection to drain | Must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management; provides primary heat path to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active voltage clamp | Clamps VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off, eliminating need for external TVS or Zener |
| Auto-restarting thermal shutdown | Trips at +150°C junction, hysteresis +10°C ensures stable recovery after fault clearance |
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at 3V input (RDS(ON) ≤ 250mΩ), compatible with modern low-voltage MCUs |
| Integrated over-current protection | Current limit activates only in saturation region-preserves full conduction capability in linear mode |
| Robust ESD immunity | 4000V HBM rating allows direct handling and assembly without additional ESD safeguards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar self-protected low-side switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Integrated driver + MOSFET; 45V max VDS, no active clamp, lower EAS (200mJ) | Targeted at stepper motor control; lacks standalone low-side switching flexibility | Select when integrated gate driver and step/direction interface are required; not suitable for general-purpose relay replacement |
| Infineon BTS7012-1EPA | Higher VDS (40V), higher RDS(ON) (300mΩ), no linear-mode capability, AEC-Q100 qualified | Automotive-qualified but limited to 40V systems; lacks 60V margin for 24V+ transient immunity | Prefer for AEC-Q100-compliant 12V automotive modules where qualification documentation is mandatory; ZXMS6005SGTA offers broader voltage headroom |
Compared with STSPIN250 and BTS7012-1EPA, ZXMS6005SGTA uniquely combines 60V clamping, 480mJ EAS, and linear-mode operation-making it optimal for non-motor-specific, high-transient industrial and 24V+ automotive loads where discrete protection integration is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for ZXMS6005SGTA at 5V input and +25°C ambient?
At 5V input and +25°C ambient on a 50mm × 50mm 2oz copper PCB, the ZXMS6005SGTA supports 2.0A continuous drain current. This value is thermally limited-not protection-limited-as the current-limit circuit deactivates in linear conduction to avoid interfering with normal operation.
Does ZXMS6005SGTA require an external flyback diode when switching inductive loads?
No. The device incorporates an active voltage clamp that limits VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off, absorbing up to 480mJ of unclamped energy. This eliminates the need for external flyback diodes in most 12V/24V applications, simplifying layout and improving reliability.
Can ZXMS6005SGTA operate with a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting?
Yes. Its logic-level input requires only VIH ≥ 3V for full enhancement, and RDS(ON) remains ≤ 250mΩ at 3V input. Input current is just 60μA at 3V, placing negligible load on typical MCU GPIOs-no level shifter or buffer is needed.
How does the thermal shutdown behavior differ from conventional MOSFETs with external thermal monitoring?
ZXMS6005SGTA features autonomous thermal shutdown with +150°C trip and +10°C hysteresis, followed by automatic restart once junction temperature falls below +140°C. Unlike externally monitored designs, this requires no MCU polling, ADC reads, or software intervention-ensuring fail-safe response even during firmware lockup.
