Diodes Incorporated ZXMS6006DT8TA

Overview

ZXMS6006DT8TA from Diodes Incorporated is a dual N-channel self-protected low-side IntelliFET® MOSFET with logic-level input, 60V V_DS, 75–100 mΩ R_DS(on) at 5V drive, 2.8A nominal load current, and integrated active clamp overvoltage protection. It serves as a rugged, fault-tolerant switch for microcontroller-driven loads in automotive body electronics, industrial actuators, and harsh-environment control systems.

For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6006DT8TA datasheet, ZXMS6006DT8TA pinout, ZXMS6006DT8TA application, or ZXMS6006DT8TA equivalent, this device delivers verified short-circuit protection with auto-restart, thermal shutdown at 150°C, ESD robustness (4 kV HBM), and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for reliable 3.3V/5V GPIO interfacing in safety-conscious embedded designs.

Technical Context

The ZXMS6006DT8TA integrates two independent IntelliFET® channels in a single SM-8 package, each featuring active voltage clamping (V_DS(AZ) = 60–70 V), current limiting (6–13 A at 5V input), and thermal overload trip (T_JT = 150–175°C) with 10°C hysteresis. Its logic-level input accepts 0.7–1.5 V threshold and draws only 120–200 µA at 5V, enabling direct drive from MCU I/O without level-shifting.

Each channel operates with unclamped inductive energy rating of 210 mJ, supports pulsed drain currents up to 13 A, and maintains safe operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient. Protection functions are fully autonomous - no external components required for overcurrent, overtemperature, overvoltage, or ESD immunity.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current per channel at 125°C ambient?

At T_A = 125°C, the ZXMS6006DT8TA delivers 1.2A continuous drain current per channel when mounted on a 25mm × 25mm 1oz copper FR4 board (Note 4). This derating follows the 75°C/W R_θJA value and accounts for thermal saturation at elevated ambient temperatures.

Does the device require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?

No. The ZXMS6006DT8TA incorporates active voltage clamping that limits V_DS to 60–70 V during inductive turn-off, absorbing up to 210 mJ of unclamped energy. This eliminates the need for external flyback diodes in typical relay, solenoid, and lamp applications.

How does the auto-restart function behave after thermal shutdown?

Upon reaching 150–175°C junction temperature, the device shuts down both channels and remains latched off until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C). It then automatically resumes normal operation without requiring a reset signal or power cycle.

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

Yes. The ZXMS6006DT8TA uses matte tin-plated terminals and a "Green" molding compound compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, containing <900 ppm bromine, <1500 ppm total halogens, and <1000 ppm antimony - certified per Diodes Inc.'s published Green Policy.
