Product details
Overview
SI3493DV-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, with 0.027 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V and -7 A continuous drain current. It features ultra-low on-resistance, 1.8 V gate threshold compatibility, and is optimized for high-efficiency load switching in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI3493DV-T1-GE3 pinout, SI3493DV-T1-GE3 application, or SI3493DV-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its halogen-free and RoHS-compliant TSOP-6 package, -1.0 V typical gate threshold, and verified performance in battery disconnect and RF PA switching circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a logic-level P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET with trench-based silicon architecture. Its gate threshold voltage of -0.40 to -1.0 V enables direct drive from 1.8 V and 2.5 V microcontrollers, while the integrated body diode supports reverse-current blocking in bidirectional power paths.
The TSOP-6 package provides low thermal resistance (RthJA = 45 °C/W, t ≤ 5 s) and supports surface-mount assembly on FR4 boards. Dynamic parameters-including 21 nC total gate charge and 6 nC gate-drain charge-enable fast switching with minimal drive loss in high-frequency load control applications.

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 | Higher RDS(on) (0.042 Ω @ -4.5 V), same TSOP-6 package and VGS(th) range | Lower current rating (-5.3 A) limits use in >5 A battery switches | Select when lower cost is prioritized over conduction loss in <5 A applications |
| DMN2019LSD-13 | 0.024 Ω RDS(on) @ -4.5 V but higher VGS(th) (-1.2 to -2.2 V); SO-8 package | Larger footprint and higher gate drive requirement reduce suitability for space-constrained portable designs | Choose only if board layout allows SO-8 and controller supports ≥2.2 V gate swing |
Compared with Si3483DV-T1-GE3 and DMN2019LSD-13, the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) in TSOP-6 for 7 A loads, enabling smaller PCB area and lower thermal rise without sacrificing logic-level drive compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI3493DV-T1-GE3 at 85 °C ambient?
The SI3493DV-T1-GE3 supports -3.6 A continuous drain current at TA = 85 °C with proper PCB copper area. This rating reflects derating due to thermal resistance limitations and assumes surface mounting on a 1" × 1" FR4 board per the datasheet test condition. The device's RthJA of 90 °C/W (steady state) governs this limit, and actual performance may improve with enhanced thermal vias or larger copper pours.
Does SI3493DV-T1-GE3 require a gate resistor for ESD protection?
No, the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 integrates gate protection diodes and is rated for ±2 kV HBM ESD per JESD22-A114. A series gate resistor is not required for ESD robustness but may be used to dampen ringing during fast switching. Typical designs use 0–10 Ω resistors depending on drive strength and layout parasitics, as validated in Vishay's application note AN807.
Can SI3493DV-T1-GE3 be used in reverse polarity protection circuits?
Yes, the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 is commonly deployed in reverse polarity protection due to its P-channel topology and low RDS(on). When placed in the positive rail with source tied to input and drain to load, it blocks reverse voltage while conducting forward current with minimal drop. Its -20 V VDS rating supports 12 V and 15 V input systems with safety margin.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for SI3493DV-T1-GE3 at DC operation?
At DC, the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 SOA is limited by RDS(on) and thermal dissipation. For example, at VDS = -5 V and ID = -7 A, power dissipation reaches 35 W-far exceeding its 2.0 W steady-state rating. Therefore, DC operation must stay within the derated boundary defined by PD = 2.0 W at 25 °C ambient, corresponding to ~-6.3 A at -5 V or ~-4.5 A at -10 V.
Is SI3493DV-T1-GE3 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the SI3493DV-T1-GE3 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. Its "T1" tape-and-reel packaging and "GE3" suffix confirm halogen-free, lead-free construction compliant with IPC/JEDEC standards. No special prebake or moisture sensitivity handling is required beyond MSL1 classification.
