Product details
Overview
SI2333DS-T1-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode TrenchFET® MOSFET rated for -12 V drain-source voltage, 0.032 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V and -5.3 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C, designed for low-voltage load switching in portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 datasheet, SI2333DS-T1-BE3 pinout, SI2333DS-T1-BE3 application, or SI2333DS-T1-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RDS(on) at low gate drive (-1.8 V to -4.5 V), SOT-23 package thermal performance (RthJA = 120 °C/W steady-state), and integrated body diode forward voltage of -0.7 V to -1.2 V at -1.0 A.
Technical Context
This discrete P-channel MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a gate-threshold voltage range of -0.40 V to -1.0 V, enabling reliable turn-on from standard logic-level supplies. Its trench-based silicon structure delivers low on-resistance and fast switching, with total gate charge of 11.5–18 nC and input capacitance of 1100 pF at VDS = -6 V.
The device supports pulsed drain currents up to -20 A and features a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to foot (RthJF) is 40–50 °C/W, confirming suitability for PCB-mounted thermal relief via the drain-connected tab in SOT-23 packages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -12 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-side or high-side switch configurations in ≤12 V systems |
| RDS(on) | 0.032 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V, ID = -5.3 A - Enables <170 mW conduction loss at full rated current |
| ID (continuous) | -5.3 A at TA = 25 °C - Supports compact load switches in space-constrained DC/DC or battery path designs |
| VGS(th) | -0.40 to -1.0 V - Ensures robust turn-on with 1.8 V or higher logic outputs without level shifting |
| Qg | 11.5–18 nC - Low gate charge enables efficient PWM control at ≥1 MHz with minimal driver power |
| VSD | -0.7 to -1.2 V at IS = -1.0 A - Body diode supports synchronous rectification or reverse-polarity protection |

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 @ VGS = -4.5 V; higher Qg (22 nC); same SOT-23 package | Higher conduction loss and slower switching; acceptable where efficiency is secondary to cost | Select DMG2305UVT-7 only if board layout allows marginally higher thermal rise and timing budget permits longer transition times. |
| AO3401 | RDS(on) = 0.052 Ω @ VGS = -4.5 V; VGS(th) = -0.7 to -1.3 V; slightly wider threshold distribution | Less predictable turn-on at marginal gate voltages; requires tighter VGS control in 1.8 V systems | Choose AO3401 only when existing qualification data exists for that part in identical thermal environment and gate drive profile. |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and AO3401, SI2333DS-T1-BE3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) and tightest VGS(th) window in SOT-23, making it optimal for high-efficiency, low-voltage load switching where gate drive headroom is limited and thermal margin is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI2333DS-T1-BE3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 supports -4.2 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C under steady-state conditions, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SOT-23 package with standard FR4 mounting; actual capability may improve with enhanced PCB copper area or forced airflow. The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 datasheet confirms this value under "Continuous Drain Current (TJ = 150 °C)" with ambient temperature condition noted.
Does SI2333DS-T1-BE3 have a guaranteed RDS(on) at VGS = -2.5 V?
Yes, the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 guarantees RDS(on) ≤ 0.042 Ω at VGS = -2.5 V and ID = -4.6 A, per the Product Summary table. This specification ensures functional operation with 2.5 V logic families and enables use in systems where gate drive voltage is constrained by regulator output or level-shifter limitations. The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 maintains this performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SI2333DS-T1-BE3 suitable for reverse-polarity protection in 5 V systems?
Yes, the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 is suitable for reverse-polarity protection in 5 V systems due to its -12 V VDS rating and low RDS(on). When placed in the high-side position with source tied to input and drain to load, it blocks reverse current while adding only ~160 mV drop at 5 A. The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 body diode does not conduct during normal forward operation, ensuring no parasitic path. Its -0.40 V minimum VGS(th) ensures reliable turn-on with typical 5 V supply rails.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI2333DS-T1-BE3 under steady-state conditions?
The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 166 °C/W under steady-state conditions on a 1" × 1" FR4 board, per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. The typical value is 120 °C/W. This parameter directly determines allowable power dissipation: at 150 °C max junction temperature and 25 °C ambient, the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 can dissipate up to 0.75 W continuously. Layout improvements (e.g., larger copper pours) reduce effective RthJA in practice.
How does the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 body diode forward voltage compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The SI2333DS-T1-BE3 body diode exhibits VSD = -0.7 to -1.2 V at -1.0 A, which is higher than typical Schottky diodes (0.3–0.5 V), but sufficient for reverse-current blocking and flyback clamping in low-duty-cycle applications. Unlike external Schottky diodes, the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 body diode shares the same die and thermal environment, simplifying layout and eliminating extra components. Its performance is fully characterized and guaranteed across temperature in the SI2333DS-T1-BE3 datasheet.
