Product details
Overview
SI3442BDV-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 20 V VDS, 4.2 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C, and 0.057 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V - optimized for high-efficiency load switching in space-constrained DC-DC converter and battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI3442BDV-T1-E3 datasheet, SI3442BDV-T1-E3 pinout, SI3442BDV-T1-E3 application, or SI3442BDV-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5-V gate threshold compatibility with low-voltage logic, TSOP-6 thermal performance (RthJA = 120 °C/W steady-state), and verified 0.090 Ω on-resistance at 2.5 V drive for portable system power management.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) with fast switching characteristics: 35 ns turn-on delay, 50 ns rise time, and 25 ns fall time under standard test conditions (VDD = 10 V, Rg = 6 Ω). Its gate threshold voltage (0.6–1.8 V) ensures reliable enhancement-mode operation across temperature.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.75–1.2 V forward voltage at 1.6 A and exhibits 295 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 45 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss), supporting efficient high-frequency synchronous rectification and PWM control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2020LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ 4.5 V (lower), but 1.2 V VGS(th) min - less compatible with 2.5 V logic | Preferred in fixed 3.3 V gate-drive systems where lower conduction loss outweighs logic-level flexibility | Select when gate drive ≥3.3 V is guaranteed and RDS(on) reduction is critical |
| AO3400 | RDS(on) = 0.042 Ω @ 4.5 V, but RDS(on) = 0.085 Ω @ 2.5 V - slightly better 2.5 V performance, yet higher Ciss (490 pF) | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where layout area allows larger gate drive loop | Choose for legacy designs already using AO3400 footprint and where 2.5 V margin is tighter |
Compared with DMN2020LSD-13 and AO3400, SI3442BDV-T1-E3 provides the best balance of 2.5-V logic compatibility, thermal resistance (120 °C/W), and gate charge (3–5 nC) for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring rapid, low-loss switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI3442BDV-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI3442BDV-T1-E3 supports 3.4 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C under standard PCB mounting conditions (FR4, t ≤ 5 s). This rating reflects derating due to reduced thermal dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures and assumes proper copper pour and airflow per Vishay's recommended land pattern.
Does SI3442BDV-T1-E3 require a gate resistor for stable switching in a 1 MHz PWM circuit?
Yes - while the SI3442BDV-T1-E3 has an internal gate resistance of 2.7 Ω, a series gate resistor (typically 5–10 Ω) is recommended in 1 MHz PWM applications to dampen ringing, control slew rate, and prevent unintended turn-on from dv/dt coupling. The datasheet specifies 6 Ω in timing characterization tests.
Is SI3442BDV-T1-E3 suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes - the SI3442BDV-T1-E3 can be used in high-side configurations when paired with appropriate gate drive circuitry capable of providing VGS ≥ 2.5 V above the source potential. Its 20 V VDS rating and 0.090 Ω RDS(on) at 2.5 V make it viable for 5 V and 12 V rail switching, though level-shifting or bootstrap gate drive is required.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to foot (RthJF) for SI3442BDV-T1-E3?
The SI3442BDV-T1-E3 has a maximum junction-to-foot thermal resistance of 85 °C/W under steady-state conditions. This parameter quantifies heat transfer from the silicon die directly to the exposed drain pad, making it critical for estimating temperature rise when the drain is soldered to large copper areas on the PCB.
Can SI3442BDV-T1-E3 replace SI3442BDV-T1-GE3 in a RoHS-compliant design?
Yes - SI3442BDV-T1-E3 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, matching the environmental specification of SI3442BDV-T1-GE3. The only distinction is halogen content: SI3442BDV-T1-GE3 is both lead-free and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, whereas SI3442BDV-T1-E3 is lead-free but not certified halogen-free. Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications.
