Product details
Overview
ZXMS6008N8-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel self-protected low-side IntelliFET® MOSFET with logic-level input, integrating overtemperature, overcurrent, active-clamp overvoltage, and ESD protection. It delivers 700mΩ RDS(on), 1.1A nominal load current at 5V input, and 210mJ clamping energy-designed for driving lamps, motors, relays, and solenoids from 3.3V/5V microcontrollers in harsh industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the ZXMS6008N8-13 datasheet, ZXMS6008N8-13 pinout, ZXMS6008N8-13 application, or ZXMS6008N8-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated fault protections (short-circuit auto-restart, thermal shutdown hysteresis of +10°C), SO-8 package thermal resistance (63.7°C/W with 1-inch copper pad), and validated 1.8A pulsed drain current at 5V input.
Technical Context
The ZXMS6008N8-13 implements a fully integrated protection architecture: active clamp limits VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off; overcurrent detection triggers at 0.7–1.6A depending on input voltage; thermal shutdown trips at +150°C to +175°C with +10°C hysteresis. Its logic-level gate accepts 3V–5.5V inputs without external level-shifting.
It operates as a ruggedized low-side switch with body diode conduction capability (0.7A continuous, 3.5A pulsed), supports peripheral supply up to 16V, and maintains safe operation across -40°C to +125°C ambient-validated per JEDEC reliability standards for high-reliability applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Max | 60V - Withstands 60V continuous drain-source voltage; clamps transients up to 70V during inductive switching. |
| RDS(on) | 500–800 mΩ - Ensures <1.1W conduction loss at 1.1A, enabling compact thermal design in SO-8 package. |
| ID Continuous | 0.7–0.9A - Validated at 5V input and 25°C ambient with 1-inch copper pad; derates linearly above 25°C. |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Absorbs unclamped inductive energy without failure, critical for relay/solenoid snubberless operation. |
| VIN Range | 0–5.5V - Direct interface with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers; no external gate driver required. |
| TJ Operating | -40°C to +150°C - Junction temperature range supports extended industrial and automotive-qualified use cases. |
| td(off) | 45 µs - Predictable turn-off delay enables deterministic timing in motor commutation and lamp dimming control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with matte tin terminals and 0.117g mass. Thermal resistance is 63.7°C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted on FR-4 with 1-inch square copper pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Logic Input | Accepts 3.3V/5V CMOS-compatible signal; draws ≤200µA at 5V; includes ESD protection (4kV HBM). |
| 2,3,4,5,7,8 (D) | Drain Terminals | Parallel-connected drain pins reduce inductance and improve current sharing; tied internally to power FET drain. |
| 6 (S) | Source Terminal | Common source node for power FET and internal protection circuitry; connects to system ground reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Overvoltage Clamp | Clamps VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off, eliminating need for external TVS or flyback diode in solenoid drivers. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-restarts after fault clearance; limits peak current to 0.7–1.6A depending on input voltage, preventing latch-up. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Trips at +150°C to +175°C; restarts only after junction cools by ≥10°C, avoiding thermal cycling in sustained overload. |
| Logic-Level Gate Drive | Operates fully enhanced at 3V input (VIN(th) = 0.7–1.5V); eliminates gate driver IC in MCU-based control systems. |
| ESD-Robust Input | Rated for 4000V HBM and 1000V CDM-survives handling and board-level ESD events without external protection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar protected low-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Integrated 5V LDO, higher RDS(on) (1.2Ω), no active VDS clamp; requires external TVS for inductive loads. | Targeted at stepper motor gate drive; lacks auto-restart short-circuit protection. | Select when integrated LDO simplifies power rail design and inductive energy is managed externally. |
| Infineon BTS7004-1EPP | Higher voltage rating (40V), lower RDS(on) (30mΩ), but no active overvoltage clamp; relies on external clamping. | Designed for automotive load-dump compliance; lacks 60V VDS margin needed for industrial 24V+ systems. | Select for AEC-Q100-compliant 12V automotive loads where external clamping is acceptable and lower conduction loss is prioritized. |
Compared with STSPIN250 and BTS7004-1EPP, the ZXMS6008N8-13 uniquely combines 60V VDS, integrated active clamp, auto-restart short-circuit protection, and logic-level drive-making it optimal for ruggedized industrial switching where external protection components must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum pulsed drain current the ZXMS6008N8-13 can handle?
The ZXMS6008N8-13 supports 1.8A pulsed drain current at 5V input voltage and 1.4A at 3.3V input, measured under specified test conditions (VDD = 12V, ID = 1A). This rating assumes short-duration pulses within the Safe Operating Area defined in the datasheet's SOA curve and accounts for thermal limits and current-limit activation thresholds.
Does the ZXMS6008N8-13 require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?
No. The device integrates an active clamp circuit that limits VDS to 60–70V during inductive turn-off, absorbing up to 210mJ of unclamped energy. This eliminates the need for an external flyback diode in typical lamp, relay, and solenoid applications-reducing BOM count and PCB area.
How does the thermal shutdown and auto-restart function operate?
Thermal shutdown activates when junction temperature reaches +150°C to +175°C, disabling the output. Restart occurs only after junction temperature falls by at least +10°C (hysteresis), preventing oscillation during sustained overload. This behavior is verified across operating conditions and ensures reliable recovery without manual intervention.
Can the ZXMS6008N8-13 be used with a 3.3V microcontroller without level shifting?
Yes. Its logic-level input threshold (0.7–1.5V) and low input current (≤200µA at 5V) allow direct connection to 3.3V microcontrollers. The device achieves full enhancement at 3V input, delivering rated RDS(on) and load current without external gate-driving circuitry.
