Product details
Overview
SI4434DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 250-V (D-S) TrenchFET® power MOSFET optimized for PWM switching in primary-side power conversion. It delivers RDS(on) = 0.155 Ω at VGS = 10 V, supports 3.0 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C, and features 100% Rg tested and avalanche-rated operation. It is used in telecom power supplies and miniature power modules.
For engineers reviewing the SI4434DY-T1-E3 datasheet, SI4434DY-T1-E3 pinout, SI4434DY-T1-E3 application, or SI4434DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250-V VDS, SO-8 package thermal performance (RthJA = 65 °C/W steady-state), 34 nC total gate charge, and verified avalanche energy rating of 8.4 mJ.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's trench-based silicon process to achieve low on-resistance with controlled gate charge profile-Qg = 34–50 nC and Qgd = 10.5 nC-enabling efficient high-frequency PWM operation. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.75–1.2 V at IS = 2.8 A and trr = 100–150 ns, supporting synchronous rectification and flyback recovery. Absolute maximum ratings include 250 V VDS, ±20 V VGS, and 13 A IAS for single-pulse avalanche robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - Withstands up to 250 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for offline and intermediate bus applications. |
| RDS(on) | 0.155 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 3.0 A - Enables low conduction loss in primary-side switch designs at rated current. |
| ID (continuous) | 3.0 A @ TA = 25 °C - Supports stable operation in compact SO-8 layouts with adequate board copper. |
| Qg | 34 nC typical - Reduces driver power demand and switching loss in 100–500 kHz PWM converters. |
| EAS | 8.4 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy rating improves reliability under inductive load transients. |
| RthJA | 65 °C/W (steady-state) - Defines thermal derating curve for ambient-limited power dissipation in FR4 PCBs. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Ensures clean turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V gate drive without requiring level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SI4434DY-T1-E3 is housed in a standard SO-8 (narrow) surface-mount package per JEDEC MS-012, with exposed drain pads for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is Gate, Pins 2–4 and 6–8 are Source, and Pins 5 and 7 are Drain (dual-drain configuration).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; requires <1.2 Ω gate resistance for optimal switching. |
| 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 | Source | Power return path; electrically common; connects to ground or low-side reference in half-bridge topologies. |
| 5, 7 | Drain | High-voltage power input/output node; dual pins reduce current density and improve thermal spreading to PCB copper. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PWM-optimized TrenchFET® | Low Qgd/Qg ratio (≈0.31) minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| 100% Rg tested | Guarantees gate resistance between 0.6–1.8 Ω, enabling predictable gate drive loop design and EMI control. |
| Avalanche rated | Rated for 13 A IAS and 8.4 mJ EAS, allowing safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants while maintaining UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 250-V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2NK25Z | 250 V VDS, RDS(on) = 2.5 Ω @ 10 V - significantly higher on-resistance; TO-92 package. | Lower power (<1 W), discrete replacement in legacy linear regulators or low-current auxiliary supplies. | Select STP2NK25Z only when board space permits through-hole mounting and thermal budget allows higher conduction loss. |
| IXTP2N250 | 250 V VDS, RDS(on) = 6.5 Ω @ 10 V, TO-220 package - higher RDS(on), larger footprint, better heatsinking. | Higher-power (>10 W), forced-air-cooled industrial SMPS where SO-8 thermal limits are exceeded. | Choose IXTP2N250 when >5 W continuous dissipation is required and PCB layout accommodates TO-220 mounting and heatsink interface. |
Compared with STP2NK25Z and IXTP2N250, SI4434DY-T1-E3 provides the lowest RDS(on) and smallest footprint among 250 V N-channel MOSFETs in production, making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-power primary-side switching where SO-8 thermal performance suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4434DY-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4434DY-T1-E3 supports 1.7 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C under steady-state conditions, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SO-8 package on standard FR4 PCBs. For higher current operation, forced airflow or enhanced copper pour is required to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C. The SI4434DY-T1-E3 datasheet confirms this value under "Continuous Drain Current (TJ = 150 °C)" with note "a. Surface Mounted on 1" x 1" FR4 board."
Does SI4434DY-T1-E3 have a built-in body diode, and what are its forward voltage characteristics?
Yes, SI4434DY-T1-E3 includes an integrated body diode with VSD = 0.75–1.2 V at IS = 2.8 A and VGS = 0 V. Its reverse recovery time trr is 100–150 ns under IF = 2.8 A and dI/dt = 100 A/µs. These parameters make the SI4434DY-T1-E3 suitable for freewheeling and synchronous rectification in flyback and resonant topologies where diode conduction occurs during dead-time intervals.
Is SI4434DY-T1-E3 RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, SI4434DY-T1-E3 is both RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "-E3" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) termination, and Vishay documentation confirms halogen-free construction for this variant. No brominated or chlorinated flame retardants are used in the molding compound, satisfying strict environmental requirements for industrial and telecom equipment.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4434DY-T1-E3, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The gate threshold voltage VGS(th) for SI4434DY-T1-E3 is 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 µA, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers. This range avoids unintended conduction near 0 V while guaranteeing full enhancement at 10 V gate drive. The SI4434DY-T1-E3 does not require gate voltage boosting or level-shifting circuitry in most PWM controller interfaces.
Can SI4434DY-T1-E3 be used in avalanche mode, and what is its rated single-pulse energy?
Yes, SI4434DY-T1-E3 is fully avalanche-rated with a guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy EAS of 8.4 mJ and peak avalanche current IAS of 13 A (L = 0.1 mH). This rating is production-tested-not just design-simulated-and enables robust operation during transformer leakage energy discharge or output short-circuit events without external clamping. The SI4434DY-T1-E3 datasheet specifies these values in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table under "Avalanche Current" and "Single Pulse Avalanche Energy."
