Product details
Overview
SI2323DS-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode TrenchFET® MOSFET optimized for low-voltage load switching in space-constrained applications. It features -20 V drain-source voltage rating, 0.039 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V, -4.7 A continuous drain current (TJ = 150 °C), and SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount package. It is used in portable power management circuits where fast turn-on and low conduction loss are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI2323DS-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI2323DS-T1-GE3 pinout, SI2323DS-T1-GE3 application, or SI2323DS-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(on) at low gate drive (-2.5 V and -1.8 V), guaranteed VGS(th) range (-0.40 V to -1.0 V), thermal resistance (RthJA = 120 °C/W steady-state), and halogen-free/RoHS-compliant construction per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single P-channel switch with gate-controlled depletion of the channel under negative VGS. Its trench-based silicon structure delivers low on-resistance while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) up to -20 V and -20 A pulsed drain current. The integrated body diode supports reverse-current paths in DC-DC and battery-protection topologies.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-ambient conduction through the SOT-23 drain pad (RthJF = 40 °C/W typical), and its gate charge profile (Qg = 12.5–19 nC) enables efficient switching at frequencies up to several hundred kHz without excessive driver losses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; defines upper limit for supply rail compatibility in high-side switch configurations. |
| RDS(on) | 0.039 Ω @ VGS = -4.5 V - Confirmed conduction loss at standard logic-level gate drive; yields <0.1 W I²R loss at 4.7 A. |
| ID (continuous) | -4.7 A @ TJ = 150 °C - Verified current-handling capability under worst-case thermal conditions on standard FR4 PCB. |
| VGS(th) | -0.40 to -1.0 V - Guaranteed turn-on threshold enabling reliable operation with 1.8 V/2.5 V microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Qg | 12.5–19 nC - Total gate charge determining driver strength requirement and switching energy loss in PWM applications. |
| Ciss | 1020 pF - Input capacitance affecting gate drive loop stability and high-frequency switching behavior. |

| 2 (Source) | Reference node | Connected to higher-potential rail in high-side switch; serves as return path for body diode conduction. |
| 3 (Drain) | Power output | Connected to load; thermally tied to PCB copper pour via exposed drain pad to dissipate 0.75 W at 70 °C ambient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ -4.5 V; VGS(th) = -0.5 to -1.2 V; Qg = 14.5 nC; same SOT-23 package. | Marginally higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~15% at 4.7 A; wider VGS(th) range may require stronger gate pull-up. | Acceptable where 0.045 Ω is within system IR-drop budget and gate drive can accommodate lower threshold certainty. |
| AO3401 | RDS(on) = 0.052 Ω @ -4.5 V; VGS(th) = -0.7 to -1.3 V; Qg = 16 nC; same SOT-23 footprint but different marking and tape/reel packaging. | Higher on-resistance and deeper VGS(th) minimum reduces margin for 1.8 V drive; thermal resistance not specified for same board layout. | Valid alternative only if gate drive is ≥2.5 V and thermal derating is applied per actual PCB layout testing. |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and AO3401, SI2323DS-T1-GE3 offers the lowest verified RDS(on) and tightest VGS(th) window among SOT-23 P-channel MOSFETs rated for -20 V, delivering superior efficiency in 1.8 V–2.5 V logic-driven load switching with documented thermal performance on standard FR4.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI2323DS-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI2323DS-T1-GE3 supports -3.8 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C with proper PCB copper area, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes surface mounting on a 1" × 1" FR4 board and accounts for thermal derating from the 150 °C junction limit. Exceeding this current without enhanced cooling risks thermal runaway.
Does SI2323DS-T1-GE3 have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, SI2323DS-T1-GE3 includes an integrated source-drain body diode with VSD = -0.7 to -1.2 V at IS = -1.0 A and VGS = 0 V. This diode enables reverse-current conduction in applications like battery back-up paths and flyback energy recovery, and its voltage drop is characterized across temperature in the datasheet's Typical Characteristics section.
Is SI2323DS-T1-GE3 compatible with 1.8 V microcontroller GPIOs for direct gate driving?
Yes, SI2323DS-T1-GE3 is specifically designed for 1.8 V logic compatibility: its guaranteed VGS(th) range of -0.40 V to -1.0 V ensures full enhancement with 1.8 V gate drive relative to source, and RDS(on) remains low (0.068 Ω) even at VGS = -1.8 V, enabling robust switching without level shifters.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SI2323DS-T1-GE3 under steady-state conditions?
The steady-state junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for SI2323DS-T1-GE3 is 120 °C/W (maximum) when mounted on a standard 1" × 1" FR4 board, as stated in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value is critical for calculating maximum allowable power dissipation at a given ambient temperature and must be validated with actual PCB layout and copper coverage.
How does the halogen-free status of SI2323DS-T1-GE3 impact its assembly process?
The halogen-free status of SI2323DS-T1-GE3 complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and does not alter reflow profile requirements: it is qualified for standard Pb-free soldering per J-STD-020, with peak temperature ≤ 260 °C. No special flux or process adjustments are needed beyond standard RoHS-compliant assembly practices.
