Product details
Overview
SI1488DH-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 20 V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in SOT-363 (SC-70-6) package, with RDS(on) = 0.049 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, 6.1 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 6.0 nC total gate charge - designed for low-voltage load switching in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SI1488DH-T1-E3 datasheet, SI1488DH-T1-E3 pinout, SI1488DH-T1-E3 application, or SI1488DH-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VDS, sub-50 mΩ on-resistance at 4.5 V drive, 6-pin SOT-363 footprint, and verified 100 % Rg and UIS testing for robustness in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET optimized for high-efficiency, low-voltage DC load switching. Its trench-based silicon structure delivers low RDS(on) across VGS = 1.8–4.5 V, enabling compatibility with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic-level gate drivers.
Thermal performance is defined by RthJA = 60–80 °C/W (t ≤ 5 s) and RthJF = 34–45 °C/W (steady state), supporting operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The integrated body diode has VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at IS = 2.2 A and trr = 10.6–16 ns under specified dI/dt conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V and lower battery/supply rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.049 Ω - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 6 A, critical for thermal management in compact PCBs. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 6.1 A - Rated current under heatsinked conditions; derates to 3.7 A at TC = 70 °C. |
| Qg (total gate charge) | 6.0 nC - Low drive energy requirement supports fast switching with minimal gate driver power overhead. |
| VGS(th) | 0.45–0.95 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with low-voltage microcontrollers and PMICs without level-shifting. |
| TJ range | −55 to +150 °C - Supports industrial and extended-temperature portable applications including wearables and IoT sensors. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 (SC-70-6) surface-mount package with 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm footprint and 0.65 mm lead pitch. Exposed drain pads on pins 1, 2, 4, and 5 provide low thermal resistance to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5 | Drain (D) | Four parallel drain terminals reduce package inductance and improve thermal dissipation via PCB copper pour. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate input; low Ciss = 530 pF and Rg = 7.3–11 Ω enable stable high-speed switching with minimal ringing. |
| 6 | Source (S) | Source reference terminal; connects to ground plane or return path; body diode anode is tied to source. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si1487DH-T1-E3 | RDS(on) = 0.035 Ω @ 4.5 V (lower), but ID = 7.2 A and Qg = 7.5 nC (higher); identical SOT-363 package and pinout. | Better conduction efficiency at high current; slightly slower switching due to higher gate charge. | Select when minimizing I²R losses dominates over gate drive power and speed. |
| DMN2025LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ 4.5 V, Qg = 5.5 nC, but in SuperSOT-6 (larger 2.9 × 2.8 mm footprint); not pin-compatible. | Lower gate charge improves switching efficiency, but requires PCB layout change and larger board area. | Select when faster switching and lower drive loss justify redesign and increased footprint. |
Compared with SI1488DH-T1-E3, Si1487DH-T1-E3 offers lower on-resistance at the cost of higher gate charge, while DMN2025LSD-13 trades pin compatibility for reduced Qg - making SI1488DH-T1-E3 the optimal balance of size, drive simplicity, and conduction loss in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI1488DH-T1-E3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI1488DH-T1-E3 supports 4.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, per Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SOT-363 package without additional heatsinking. At ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C), the rating drops to 4.6 A due to higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does SI1488DH-T1-E3 have a guaranteed gate threshold voltage range?
Yes - the SI1488DH-T1-E3 has a guaranteed VGS(th) range of 0.45 V to 0.95 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 µA. This tight specification ensures predictable turn-on behavior across manufacturing lots and simplifies gate drive design for low-voltage controllers.
Is SI1488DH-T1-E3 suitable for use as a high-side switch?
No - the SI1488DH-T1-E3 is an N-channel MOSFET with no integrated charge pump or bootstrap capability. It is designed for low-side switching configurations. Using it as a high-side switch would require external gate voltage boosting beyond VDD, which is not supported by its ±8 V VGS rating.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SI1488DH-T1-E3 at 2.2 A?
The SI1488DH-T1-E3 exhibits a source-drain body diode forward voltage (VSD) of 0.8–1.2 V at IS = 2.2 A and TJ = 25 °C. This diode is integral to the MOSFET structure and supports synchronous rectification or freewheeling paths in DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
How is the SI1488DH-T1-E3 marked on the package?
The SI1488DH-T1-E3 uses a two-line marking code: "AG" on the first line (part number identifier) and a lot traceability/date code on the second line. This marking appears on the top surface of the SOT-363 package and conforms to Vishay's standard SC-70 labeling convention.
