Product details
Overview
SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TSOP-6 package, rated for -12 V drain-source voltage, 0.022 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V, -8 A continuous drain current, and optimized for PWM load switching in portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 datasheet, SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 pinout, SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 application, or SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge (26 nC typ. at VGS = -4.5 V), robust body diode recovery (trr = 50–75 ns), thermal resistance (RthJA = 62.5 °C/W max), and compatibility with 1.8 V logic-level drive.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchFET® technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate drive requirements. Its negative threshold voltage (-0.4 to -1.0 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level signals down to 1.8 V.
The TSOP-6 package provides high power density with drain-connected pins (1, 2, 5, 6) for efficient heat spreading, while the integrated source-drain body diode supports synchronous rectification and reverse-current protection in DC-DC converters and battery protection circuits.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | -12 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage rail switching (e.g., 3.3 V, 5 V systems) |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -4.5 V | 0.022 Ω - Enables <170 mW conduction loss at 8 A, critical for thermally constrained PCBs |
| Qg typ. | 26 nC - Reduces gate drive power and switching transition time in high-frequency PWM |
| ID continuous | -8 A - Supports sustained load currents in compact power switches without forced cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET load switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si3472CDV-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 0.032 Ω @ -4.5 V; higher on-resistance, same package and pinout | Suitable where marginally higher conduction loss is acceptable for cost optimization | Select when thermal budget allows ~45% higher I²R loss at 8 A; identical layout and drive requirements |
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.025 Ω @ -4.5 V; slightly higher Qg (32 nC); same TSOP-6 footprint | Offers tighter RDS(on) tolerance but requires verification of body diode Qrr in synchronous designs | Prefer for new designs needing marginally lower on-resistance; confirm trr = 65 ns meets converter timing constraints |
Compared with SI3473CDV-T1-BE3, Si3472CDV-T1-BE3 trades 45% higher conduction loss for potential cost savings, while DMN2020LFG-7 offers marginally better RDS(on) but with higher gate drive energy and unverified body diode recovery in high-frequency sync rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 supports -8 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating reflects derating from the 150 °C junction limit and accounts for thermal resistance to case (RthJC). At higher ambient temperatures or with limited airflow, design margin should be applied per the Current Derating curve on page 5 of the datasheet.
Does SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 support 1.8 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 supports 1.8 V logic-level gate drive due to its guaranteed VGS(th) range of -0.4 V to -1.0 V. At VGS = -1.8 V, RDS(on) is 0.036 Ω (max), enabling usable on-state performance without external level shifting. This makes SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 suitable for direct interface with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and PMICs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 on a standard FR4 board?
The maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 is 62.5 °C/W under standard test conditions (surface-mounted on 1" × 1" FR4, t ≤ 5 s). For steady-state operation, the typical value is 55 °C/W. These values assume no additional copper pour or heatsinking; adding thermal vias and copper area reduces effective RthJA significantly.
Can SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 be used as a synchronous rectifier in a buck converter?
Yes, SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 is suitable as a synchronous rectifier in buck converters due to its fast body diode recovery (trr = 50–75 ns) and low Qrr (30–45 nC), which minimize reverse-recovery losses. Its low RDS(on) (0.022 Ω typ. at -4.5 V) further reduces conduction loss versus Schottky diodes. Gate drive must be timed to avoid shoot-through, and dead-time control is essential.
What is the total gate charge specification for SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 at VGS = -4.5 V?
The total gate charge (Qg) for SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 is 26 nC (typical) and 40 nC (maximum) at VGS = -4.5 V, VDS = -6 V, and ID = -8.1 A. This value determines gate driver sizing and switching speed-lower Qg enables faster transitions and reduced driver power dissipation, making SI3473CDV-T1-BE3 well-suited for high-frequency PWM applications.
