Product details
Overview
SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, 0.0275 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V, and -8.0 A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C), designed for high-efficiency load switching in space-constrained DC-DC and battery management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 datasheet, SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 pinout, SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 application, or SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage, high-side switching where gate drive compatibility with 2.5–4.5 V logic, fast turn-off (td(off) = 75 ns typ.), and robust body diode recovery (Qrr = 49.5 nC) are critical.
Technical Context
This TSOP-6 packaged MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance and optimized gate charge (Qg = 26.2 nC at VGS = -4.5 V). Its -0.9 V typical gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers.
The device features a fully characterized source-drain body diode with VSD = -0.8 V at IS = -2.5 A and trr = 52 ns, supporting synchronous rectification and reverse-current blocking in bidirectional power paths without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - Maximum reverse-blocking capability for 12 V and 15 V rail applications |
| RDS(on) | 0.0275 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 8 A, reducing thermal stress |
| ID (cont.) | -8.0 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching without derating on minimal copper |
| Qg | 26.2 nC at VGS = -4.5 V - Low gate drive power requirement compatible with microcontroller GPIOs |
| td(off)/tf | 75 ns / 84 ns - Fast turn-off minimizes shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations |
| VGS(th) | -0.9 V typ. - Ensures full enhancement with 2.5 V logic, eliminating need for level shifters |
| RthJA | 60 °C/W max - Requires ≤1.33 W dissipation at TA = 70 °C for safe operation on standard FR4 |
Pinout & Package
TSOP-6 surface-mount package (JEDEC MO-193C), 3.05 mm × 2.85 mm footprint, 0.95 mm pitch, with exposed drain pad for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; internally connected to exposed pad for low thermal resistance (RthJF = 35 °C/W) |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input; requires ≤±8 V rating; 100 % Rg tested for consistent switching behavior |
| 4 | Source (S) | Return path for load current; referenced to system ground in high-side switch configurations |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si3483DV-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.032 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V; higher Qg = 32.5 nC; same TSOP-6 package | Lower current rating (-6.5 A) and slower switching limit use in high-frequency PWM loads | Select when halogen-free compliance is mandatory and 0.032 Ω RDS(on) is acceptable for reduced thermal budget |
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V; smaller 2 mm × 2 mm DFN package; no exposed drain pad | Higher power density but inferior thermal performance (RthJA = 105 °C/W) requires aggressive PCB layout | Choose for ultra-compact designs where board area is constrained and thermal vias can be added under DFN pad |
Compared with Si3483DV-T1-GE3 and DMN2020LFG-7, the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), proven thermal path via exposed drain, and logic-level gate drive-making it preferred for mid-power industrial load switching where reliability and ease of layout outweigh extreme miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 supports -7.03 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TSOP-6 package under sustained power dissipation; designers must ensure adequate copper area or airflow to maintain case temperature within this limit for reliable operation of the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3.
Does SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 require a gate resistor for stable switching?
Yes-the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 benefits from an external gate resistor (typically 1–10 Ω) to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during turn-on/turn-off. The datasheet specifies Rg = 1 Ω in dynamic timing test conditions (e.g., td(on), tr), and its 6.5–10 Ω typical gate resistance means uncontrolled drive can cause overshoot or EMI; proper gate resistor selection ensures robust switching of the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 in real-world layouts.
Can SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 be used in a synchronous buck converter as a high-side switch?
No-the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 is a P-channel MOSFET intended for high-side switching but lacks the fast, low-Qgd characteristics required for efficient synchronous buck top switches operating above 500 kHz. Its 7.14 nC Qgd and 26.2 nC Qg make it better suited for lower-frequency load switching (≤200 kHz); for synchronous buck, N-channel alternatives with dedicated gate drivers are recommended instead of the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 at -2.5 A?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 is -0.8 V minimum and -1.2 V maximum at IS = -2.5 A and TJ = 25 °C, per the Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics table. This low VSD enables efficient reverse-current conduction during dead-time intervals in half-bridge topologies using the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3.
Is SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 compliant with lead-free and halogen-free standards?
Yes-the SI3493BDV-T1-BE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the Features section and Ordering Information. It carries the "-BE3" suffix denoting Vishay's halogen-free, RoHS-compliant packaging, making it suitable for consumer electronics and industrial equipment requiring strict environmental compliance without sacrificing electrical performance.
