Diodes Incorporated ZXMS6006DGQ-13

Overview

ZXMS6006DGQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel self-protected IntelliFET® MOSFET in SOT223 package, designed as a rugged low-side switch with logic-level input (3.3V/5V), 75–100 mΩ R_DS(ON) at 5V, 2.8A continuous drain current, and integrated overtemperature, overcurrent, overvoltage (active clamp), and ESD protection. It serves as a drop-in replacement for discrete MOSFET + protection IC combinations in harsh industrial and automotive load switching.

For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6006DGQ-13 datasheet, ZXMS6006DGQ-13 pinout, ZXMS6006DGQ-13 application, or ZXMS6006DGQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16V short-circuit clamping voltage, auto-restart thermal shutdown, 490mJ unclamped inductive energy rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.

Technical Context

The ZXMS6006DGQ-13 integrates protection circuitry directly into the MOSFET die: active overvoltage clamping triggers at V_DS(SC) = 16V to suppress inductive kickback; overcurrent limiting activates dynamically above 6–13A (depending on VIN); and thermal shutdown trips at T_J = +150°C to +175°C with +10°C hysteresis. All protections feature automatic recovery without external reset.

It operates as a single-input, single-output intelligent power switch: IN pin accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic signals; D and S pins handle high-side-referenced loads via low-side configuration; internal body diode supports freewheeling in inductive applications. No external gate resistor or flyback diode is required for basic operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating voltage for inductive loads?

The ZXMS6006DGQ-13 features an active overvoltage clamp that triggers at V_DS(SC) = 16V, limiting peak drain voltage during inductive turn-off. While it blocks up to 60V continuously, inductive loads must be designed so transient spikes do not exceed 16V without external suppression-verified by measuring V_DS waveform under worst-case load current and L/dt conditions.

Does the device require an external flyback diode?

No external flyback diode is required. The integrated body diode and active 16V clamp provide complete freewheeling path and voltage limiting for inductive loads. However, for loads exceeding 490mJ EAS (e.g., large solenoids), a parallel TVS or RC snubber may still be recommended to reduce stress on the internal clamp circuit.

How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?

When junction temperature exceeds +150°C to +175°C, the device shuts off and remains latched OFF until temperature drops by ≥10°C (hysteresis). After cooling, it automatically resumes normal operation-no external reset signal or power cycle is needed. This behavior is validated across −40°C to +125°C ambient per AEC-Q101 test conditions.

Can ZXMS6006DGQ-13 drive a 5V microcontroller GPIO directly?

Yes-the IN pin draws only 60–200 µA at 3.3V/5V, well within standard MCU GPIO drive capability (typically ±20mA). No series resistor or buffer is required. The input threshold (V_IN(TH) = 0.7–1.5V) ensures clean turn-on with 3.3V logic, and the 0–5.5V absolute max rating protects against overvoltage transients on the control line.
