Product details
Overview
SI4100DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 100-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, with RDS(on) = 0.063 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 6.8 A continuous drain current, and 9 nC total gate charge - optimized for high-frequency boost converters and LED backlight drivers in LCD TVs.
For engineers reviewing the SI4100DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4100DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4100DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4100DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VDS, halogen-free/lead-free compliance, UIS-tested ruggedness, and SO-8 thermal performance under switching stress.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching with Qg = 9 nC (VGS = 6 V) and tf = 10–15 ns. Its body diode exhibits trr = 45–70 ns and Qrr = 80–120 nC, supporting synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies.
Rated for 100 V VDS and ±20 V VGS, it operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction range, with RthJA = 37–50 °C/W (1" × 1" FR4) and RthJF = 17–21 °C/W - enabling thermally constrained PCB layouts without external heatsinking in medium-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports input rails up to 85 V DC in boost converters before derating. |
| RDS(on) | 0.063 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤280 mW at 6.8 A, critical for efficiency in LED backlight drivers. |
| ID (continuous) | 6.8 A @ TC = 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state current with case-mounted thermal path. |
| Qg | 9 nC @ VGS = 6 V - enables efficient gate drive with low-current controllers in high-frequency (>300 kHz) operation. |
| trr / Qrr | 45–70 ns / 80–120 nC - determines reverse recovery loss and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) boost stages. |
| RthJA | 37 °C/W (typ.) - sets thermal rise of ~140 °C at 3.8 W dissipation on standard FR4, guiding layout copper area requirements. |
| VGS(th) | 2–4.5 V - ensures reliable turn-on with 5 V logic-level gate drivers while avoiding spurious activation near ground. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain paddle for enhanced thermal conduction; JEDEC-compliant footprint per Application Note 826.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Drain) | Drain (D) | Pins 1–4 and 6–8 are internally connected to drain; pin 5 is isolated gate - provides low-inductance, high-current drain path with thermal pad attachment. |
| 5 | Gate (G) | Single gate terminal; requires <10 Ω series resistance to damp ringing due to low Ciss = 600 pF and fast dV/dt capability. |
| Source | Source (S) | Not a dedicated pin - source connection made via PCB trace to pins 1–4/6–8 drain terminals through internal die bonding; external source routing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Enables 0.063 Ω RDS(on) at 100 V rating - delivers higher power density than planar MOSFETs in same package. |
| 100 % UIS tested | Guarantees avalanche energy handling (EAS = 18 mJ) without derating - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive switching circuits. |
| Halogen-free & Pb-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS - supports environmental compliance for consumer electronics and display systems. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Qgd = 4.6 nC of Qg = 9–13.5 nC - improves Miller immunity and reduces switching loss during hard commutation. |
Applications
| High-Frequency Boost Converter | LED Backlight for LCD TV |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 100-V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP10NK100ZFP | TO-220FP package; RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω (higher); 100 % avalanche rated but not UIS tested. | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs like LCD backlight modules. | Prefer SI4100DY-T1-GE3 when board space, thermal pad integration, or high-frequency operation are critical. |
| IRF540N | TO-220 package; RDS(on) = 0.044 Ω but only rated for 100 V VDS with 55 A pulse - no UIS test data or halogen-free certification. | Lacks automotive/consumer-grade compliance documentation; higher Ciss (1,700 pF) increases gate drive loss. | Choose SI4100DY-T1-GE3 for certified reliability, SMT compatibility, and documented switching performance in LED TV designs. |
Compared with STP10NK100ZFP and IRF540N, SI4100DY-T1-GE3 offers superior SMT thermal management, lower gate charge for high-frequency use, and verified halogen-free compliance - making it the preferred choice for compact, high-reliability boost converters in consumer displays.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4100DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4100DY-T1-GE3 supports 5.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capacity at elevated case temperatures and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow conditions in the final design.
Does SI4100DY-T1-GE3 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, SI4100DY-T1-GE3 integrates a source-drain body diode with VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at IS = 3.5 A, trr = 45–70 ns, and Qrr = 80–120 nC. These values are measured at TJ = 25 °C with dI/dt = 100 A/µs, and are critical for evaluating reverse recovery loss in boost and flyback topologies using this MOSFET.
Is SI4100DY-T1-GE3 suitable for gate driving with a 5 V microcontroller output?
Yes, SI4100DY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2–4.5 V and achieves RDS(on) = 0.084 Ω at VGS = 6 V, making it compatible with standard 5 V logic-level gate drivers. However, full enhancement (RDS(on) = 0.063 Ω) requires 10 V drive, so system efficiency should be evaluated at both 5 V and 10 V gate bias.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SI4100DY-T1-GE3 on a standard PCB?
The SI4100DY-T1-GE3 has a typical RthJA of 37 °C/W and maximum of 50 °C/W when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR4 board, per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is used to calculate junction temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation.
How does the UIS testing benefit the reliability of SI4100DY-T1-GE3 in real-world applications?
The 100 % UIS (Unclamped Inductive Switching) testing certifies that every SI4100DY-T1-GE3 unit withstands single-pulse avalanche energy of 18 mJ at L = 0.1 mH. This ensures robustness against inductive kickback in boost converters and motor drives without requiring external clamping circuits, directly improving field reliability in LED backlight and industrial power supplies.
