Diodes Incorporated ZXMS6006SGTA

Overview

ZXMS6006SGTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel self-protected enhancement-mode IntelliFET™ MOSFET in SOT223 package, functioning as a logic-level low-side switch with integrated over-temperature, over-current, active-clamp over-voltage, and ESD protection. It delivers 2.8A continuous drain current at 5V input, 100mΩ R_DS(ON), and 480mJ unclamped inductive energy rating for robust load switching in microcontroller-driven industrial actuators.

For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6006SGTA datasheet, ZXMS6006SGTA pinout, ZXMS6006SGTA application, or ZXMS6006SGTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V/5V-compatible input threshold (0.7–1.5V), auto-restart thermal shutdown at +150°C, short-circuit protection with clamping to 60V, and SOT223 thermal performance (R_θJA = 83°C/W on 50mm×50mm 2oz copper).

Technical Context

The ZXMS6006SGTA integrates protection circuitry directly into the MOSFET die: an active clamp limits V_DS to 60–70V during inductive flyback, while current limiting activates at 6–13A (depending on V_IN) before thermal trip at +150°C. Its logic-level gate accepts 3.3V or 5V drive without external level-shifting.

It operates as a single-function low-side switch - not a half-bridge or high-side driver - with body diode conduction capability (2A continuous source current) and dV/dt immunity optimized for relay, solenoid, and lamp loads. Input protection includes ±4000V HBM ESD rating and reverse-input tolerance down to –0.5V.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

SOT223 (Type DN) package with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction; 3-pin configuration with integrated protection circuitry sharing the same package footprint as standard SOT223 MOSFETs.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side protected switch applications.

Compared with IPS1021H and TPS27082L, the ZXMS6006SGTA uniquely combines 60V clamping, auto-restart behavior, and 2.8A continuous current in SOT223 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability 24V industrial switching where fault recovery must be autonomous and board space minimal.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating voltage for the ZXMS6006SGTA drain-source terminals?

The ZXMS6006SGTA has a rated continuous drain-source voltage of 60V, with an active clamp limiting transient V_DS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off. It is not rated for sustained operation above 60V; exceeding this risks permanent damage even with clamping active. For 48V systems, it provides 12V margin against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a transients.

Can the ZXMS6006SGTA drive a 24V, 2A solenoid directly from a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?

Yes - the ZXMS6006SGTA's logic-level input (V_IN(TH) max 1.5V) ensures full turn-on with 3.3V drive, and its 2.2A continuous current rating at 3.3V input meets the solenoid requirement. Its 480mJ E_AS rating handles typical solenoid flyback without external components.

Does the ZXMS6006SGTA require a heatsink in standard PCB layouts?

No external heatsink is required when mounted on ≥15mm×15mm 1oz copper (R_θJA = 125°C/W) or ≥50mm×50mm 2oz copper (R_θJA = 83°C/W). At 2.8A and 100mΩ R_DS(ON), power dissipation is ~780mW - resulting in ~65°C rise on 2oz layout, staying well below the +150°C thermal trip point.

How does the auto-restart feature behave during sustained overtemperature conditions?

When junction temperature reaches +150°C, the device shuts off and remains off until temperature falls by ≥10°C (hysteresis), then automatically resumes conduction. This cycle repeats if overheating persists - protecting against destruction but not intended for continuous operation in thermal runaway scenarios.
