Product details
Overview
SI1499DH-T1-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel TrenchFET® MOSFET in SOT-363 (SC-70-6) package, rated for -8 V VDS, 0.078 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V, and -1.6 A continuous drain current. It operates down to VGS = -1.2 V, enabling load switching in ultra-low-voltage portable systems with extended battery life.
For engineers reviewing the SI1499DH-T1-BE3 datasheet, SI1499DH-T1-BE3 pinout, SI1499DH-T1-BE3 application, or SI1499DH-T1-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.2 V gate drive capability, ultra-low on-resistance at low VGS, thermal performance of 125 °C/W RthJA, and SC-70-6 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate MOSFET technology optimized for low-voltage logic-level operation. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = -0.35 to -0.8 V) and sub-1.5 V RDS(on) specification enable reliable turn-on from single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery rails (2.5–3.6 V nominal).
The SOT-363 package features four parallel drain terminals and a copper leadframe, reducing both RDS(on) and junction-to-foot thermal resistance (RthJF = 34 °C/W typ.). Body diode recovery time (trr = 25–38 ns) supports moderate-speed synchronous rectification or reverse polarity protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -8 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 3.3 V and lower system rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -4.5 V | 0.078 Ω - Enables <125 mW conduction loss at 1.6 A, critical for thermally constrained portable PCBs. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -1.2 V | 0.424 Ω - Confirmed operation at 1.2 V gate drive, supporting deep battery discharge states without control loss. |
| ID Continuous | -1.6 A - Package-limited current rating; sufficient for USB-powered peripherals and sensor modules. |
| Qg Total Gate Charge | 10.5 nC - Low gate charge enables fast switching with minimal driver strength, reducing control IC loading. |
| RthJA | 125 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4; defines safe power envelope at ambient temperature. |
| VGS(th) | -0.35 to -0.8 V - Tight threshold range ensures consistent turn-on across temperature and process variation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-363 (SC-70-6) package with copper leadframe; 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm footprint; 0.95 mm height; four drain pins (1, 2, 4, 5), one source pin (6), one gate pin (3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5 | Drain (D) | Four parallel drain connections reduce effective RDS(on) and improve thermal spreading to PCB copper. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires no external pull-up for high-side switch applications due to P-channel topology. |
| 6 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; tied to system VIN in high-side load switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers 0.078 Ω RDS(on) at -4.5 V while maintaining robust SOA and low Qg. |
| 1.2 V gate drive guarantee | Ensures functional turn-on even at end-of-discharge battery voltages (~2.5 V rail), extending usable runtime. |
| Copper leadframe construction | Reduces RthJF to 34 °C/W and improves thermal coupling to PCB, enabling higher sustained current in compact layouts. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and Directive 2002/95/EC; suitable for consumer and medical portable equipment. |
| Low body diode VSD | -0.7 to -1.2 V forward drop at -2.4 A supports efficient reverse polarity protection without external diode. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-load disconnect switch activated by hall-effect sensor output. Use Value: 100 nA max IGSS and -1 µA IDSS ensure <1 µA total system standby current, preserving multi-week shelf life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si1498DH-T1-BE3 | VDS = -12 V; RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω @ VGS = -1.8 V; same SOT-363 package and pinout. | Better overvoltage margin for 5 V systems; higher RDS(on) at 1.2 V limits use in deep-discharge scenarios. | Select when system rail exceeds 3.6 V or transient protection >8 V is required. |
| DMN2053LSD-13 | VDS = -20 V; RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω @ VGS = -2.5 V; SO-8 package (larger footprint, higher RthJA). | Higher voltage rating but incompatible pinout and thermal performance; not drop-in replaceable. | Choose only if board redesign accommodates SO-8 and system requires >12 V blocking capability. |
Compared with SI1499DH-T1-BE3, Si1498DH-T1-BE3 offers higher VDS at the expense of low-VGS on-resistance, while DMN2053LSD-13 trades miniaturization and thermal efficiency for voltage headroom-making SI1499DH-T1-BE3 optimal for space- and battery-life-critical 1.2–3.3 V portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI1499DH-T1-BE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI1499DH-T1-BE3 supports -1.6 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating is package-limited and remains unchanged from the 25 °C rating due to thermal derating constraints inherent to the SOT-363 footprint. The device's 125 °C/W RthJA determines actual power handling under real PCB conditions.
Does SI1499DH-T1-BE3 require a gate pull-up resistor in high-side switch configurations?
No, SI1499DH-T1-BE3 does not require an external gate pull-up resistor in high-side switch applications because it is a P-channel MOSFET. When the gate is pulled low relative to the source (e.g., by an MCU GPIO), the device turns on; when the gate floats or is pulled high to source potential, it remains off. Internal gate leakage (±100 nA) is negligible for most control interfaces.
Can SI1499DH-T1-BE3 be used with a 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO driving the gate?
Yes, SI1499DH-T1-BE3 is fully compatible with 1.8 V GPIO control. With VGS(th) as low as -0.35 V and guaranteed RDS(on) = 0.424 Ω at VGS = -1.2 V, it achieves reliable enhancement-mode turn-on when the source is at 1.8 V and the gate is driven to 0 V (yielding VGS = -1.8 V). No level shifter is needed.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SI1499DH-T1-BE3 at -2.4 A?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of SI1499DH-T1-BE3 is -0.7 V minimum and -1.2 V maximum at IS = -2.4 A and VGS = 0 V, per the Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics table. This low forward drop enables efficient reverse-polarity protection without adding a discrete Schottky diode in series with the load path.
Is SI1499DH-T1-BE3 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, SI1499DH-T1-BE3 is both halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. The "-BE3" suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) termination and halogen-free packaging, confirmed in the Ordering Information section of Vishay's official datasheet (Document Number: 73338, Rev. F).
