Product details
Overview
SI4408DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 20-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET optimized for PWM-driven synchronous rectification, featuring RDS(on) = 0.0045 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 21-A continuous drain current (TJ = 150 °C), and SO-8 package. It delivers low switching and gate drive losses in high-efficiency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SI4408DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4408DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4408DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4408DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5-V gate threshold compatibility with logic-level drivers, halogen-free and Pb-free compliance, and validated Rg testing for consistent switching behavior.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 21–32 nC, Qgd = 6.4 nC) supports high-frequency PWM operation up to several hundred kHz while minimizing overlap loss.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A and trr = 55–80 ns, enabling efficient self-driven synchronous rectification in flyback and LLC topologies without external diode replacement.
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) @ 10 V | 0.0045 Ω - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 21 A, critical for thermal management in compact layouts |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 0.0068 Ω - Ensures robust turn-on with 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers, supporting logic-level control |
| ID (continuous) | 21 A @ TJ = 150 °C - Sustains high-current output stages without derating in thermally constrained SO-8 footprints |
| Qg | 21–32 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables faster edge rates in hard-switched designs |
| tr/tf | 42–65 ns / 26–40 ns - Fast transitions minimize dead-time losses and improve efficiency in synchronous rectifier configurations |
| RthJA | 67–80 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines junction-to-ambient rise under PCB copper constraints, guiding heatsinking decisions |

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 | RDS(on) = 0.0055 Ω @ 10 V; higher Qg (42 nC); TO-252 package | Requires larger PCB footprint and higher gate drive power; better suited for lower-frequency, higher-current discrete designs | Choose IRF7470PBF only when SO-8 thermal limits are exceeded and board space allows DPAK mounting. |
| DMN2020LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.0052 Ω @ 4.5 V; dual-N configuration in SO-8; no Rg test guarantee | Offers complementary channel for half-bridge integration but lacks single-device validation for critical rectifier roles | Select DMN2020LSD-13 when building dual-switch synchronous buck stages where matched characteristics outweigh individual Rg assurance. |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN2020LSD-13, SI4408DY-T1-GE3 provides the lowest RDS(on) in SO-8 with verified gate resistance and halogen-free compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency synchronous rectification where thermal density and process consistency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4408DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient?
The SI4408DY-T1-GE3 supports 17 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C with proper PCB copper area (1" × 1" FR4). This rating assumes steady-state thermal conditions and accounts for RthJA = 67–80 °C/W. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm linear reduction from 21 A at 25 °C to 17 A at 70 °C ambient, making SI4408DY-T1-GE3 suitable for thermally dense power modules without forced airflow.
Does SI4408DY-T1-GE3 have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, the SI4408DY-T1-GE3 specifies source-drain reverse recovery time (trr) as 55–80 ns under conditions of IF = 2.9 A and dI/dt = 100 A/µs. This parameter is measured with the gate shorted to source and reflects the intrinsic speed of the parasitic body diode-critical for evaluating performance in self-driven synchronous rectifier circuits where diode conduction precedes gate turn-on.
Is SI4408DY-T1-GE3 qualified for automotive applications?
The SI4408DY-T1-GE3 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and meets Pb-free/halogen-free standards, Vishay does not list it in their AEC-Q101 stress-tested portfolio. For automotive infotainment or body electronics, SI4408DY-T1-GE3 may be used at system level with additional qualification-but design-in requires customer-specific reliability validation per ISO/TS 16949 processes.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4408DY-T1-GE3?
The SI4408DY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) minimum of 1.0 V, typical of 1.4 V, and maximum of 2.0 V, measured at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3-V logic drivers while maintaining noise immunity-confirmed across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature per the datasheet's threshold variance plot.
How does the SO-8 package of SI4408DY-T1-GE3 handle thermal dissipation?
The SI4408DY-T1-GE3 uses a standard SO-8 (MS-012) package with an exposed drain pad that must be soldered to a large PCB copper area for effective heat transfer. With 1" × 1" FR4 board, RthJA is 67–80 °C/W; adding thermal vias under the pad can reduce this to ~45 °C/W. The device's RthJF (junction-to-foot) is 13–16 °C/W, confirming the drain pad as the primary thermal path-so layout must prioritize thermal copper, not just signal routing.
