Product details
Overview
SI4004DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 20 V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, delivering 12 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 13.8 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 10.6 nC total gate charge. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or main switch in compact DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SI4004DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4004DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4004DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4004DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VDS, low RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, 100 % UIS-tested ruggedness, and SO-8 thermal performance under 11 A steady-state load.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in high-frequency buck regulators. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.5 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, while its 195 pF Crss and 1280 pF Ciss support stable operation up to 1 MHz switching.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 26–39 ns reverse recovery time and 15–23 nC Qrr, making it suitable for synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes. Thermal resistance RthJF = 19 °C/W (typ.) ensures efficient heat transfer from junction to drain pad in PCB-mounted applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and transient margin in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.0138 Ω - Enables ≤1.7 W conduction loss at 11 A, reducing thermal stress in SO-8 footprint |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.0192 Ω - Supports direct drive from 5 V microcontrollers or PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| Qg @ VGS = 4.5 V | 10.6 nC - Low gate charge minimizes driver power and enables efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | 20 V VDS, 0.0145 Ω RDS(on) @ 10 V, but higher Qg = 14.2 nC and no UIS rating | Lacks avalanche ruggedness; requires external clamping in inductive loads | Prefer SI4004DY-T1-GE3 where transient immunity is critical; IRF7470PBF suits low-cost, low-stress linear regulation |
| DMN2020LFG-7 | 20 V VDS, 0.017 Ω RDS(on) @ 4.5 V, smaller X1-DFN2020-6 package, no SO-8 thermal mass | Lower thermal inertia limits sustained 12 A operation; unsuitable for high-duty-cycle DC/DC | Select SI4004DY-T1-GE3 when board space allows SO-8 and thermal stability at 11 A is required |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN2020LFG-7, SI4004DY-T1-GE3 provides superior avalanche ruggedness and SO-8 thermal capacity for sustained 11 A loads, while maintaining lower gate charge than IRF7470PBF and higher current capability than DMN2020LFG-7's DFN package.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4004DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4004DY-T1-GE3 supports 12 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating reflects package-limited conduction capability under steady-state thermal conditions and is validated across production lots using 100 % UIS testing.
Does SI4004DY-T1-GE3 require a gate resistor for safe operation in a 600 kHz buck converter?
Yes - SI4004DY-T1-GE3 benefits from a gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) to control dV/dt and prevent ringing during 600 kHz switching. Its 0.7–7.2 Ω Rg (tested per unit) interacts with driver impedance; adding an external 2.2 Ω resistor ensures consistent 15 ns turn-on delay and 12 ns rise time as characterized in the datasheet.
Can SI4004DY-T1-GE3 be used as a replacement for a Schottky diode in synchronous rectification?
Yes - SI4004DY-T1-GE3 is routinely deployed as a synchronous rectifier due to its 0.84 V body diode forward voltage and 26 ns reverse recovery time. When actively driven, its 0.0192 Ω RDS(on) at 4.5 V delivers lower conduction loss than a 40 V Schottky in 12 V output rails, provided gate timing avoids shoot-through.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI4004DY-T1-GE3 on a standard 1" × 1" FR4 board?
On a 1" × 1" FR4 board, SI4004DY-T1-GE3 exhibits RthJA = 43 °C/W (typical) and 50 °C/W (maximum), as measured per JEDEC JESD51-2. This value assumes no additional copper pour beyond the footprint; adding thermal vias under the drain pad can improve RthJA by up to 30 %.
Is SI4004DY-T1-GE3 rated for operation in automotive under-hood environments?
No - SI4004DY-T1-GE3 is qualified for industrial temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C), but not AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Its packaging and test coverage meet commercial/industrial reliability standards; for under-hood use, Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified Si7157DP or Si7850DP are recommended alternatives.
