Product details
Overview
SI4447DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode TrenchFET® MOSFET rated for -40 V drain-source voltage, 0.054 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -4.5 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C. It operates in CCFL inverter circuits where high-efficiency synchronous switching and low gate charge (9 nC) are critical for compact, thermally constrained lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SI4447DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4447DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4447DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4447DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -40 V VDS, halogen-free and Pb-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21, SO-8 package thermal performance (RthJA = 85 °C/W steady-state), and 100 % UIS-tested ruggedness for inductive load switching.
Technical Context
This device implements a trench-gate silicon structure optimized for low RDS(on) and fast switching in high-side P-channel configurations. Its gate threshold voltage range (-0.8 V to -2.2 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drive, while its 805 pF input capacitance and 85 pF reverse transfer capacitance support stable operation up to several hundred kHz in resonant inverter topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits -0.79 V to -1.2 V forward voltage at -1.7 A, with 27–45 ns reverse recovery time and 17–26 nC Qrr, making it suitable for freewheeling paths in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) CCFL inverters without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for high-side switch in 24–36 V input CCFL inverters |
| RDS(on) | 0.054 Ω at VGS = -10 V - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at -4.5 A, reducing thermal stress on SO-8 footprint |
| ID (cont) | -4.5 A at TA = 25 °C - Supports typical CCFL lamp currents with margin for transient surges |
| Qg | 9 nC (typ.) - Low gate drive power requirement compatible with low-current gate drivers |
| VGS(th) | -0.8 V to -2.2 V - Ensures robust turn-on with -5 V or -10 V logic-compatible gate signals |
| EAS | 13 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy rating for inductive turn-off protection |
| RthJA | 85 °C/W (steady-state) - Defines thermal derating curve for PCB layout with 1" × 1" FR4 copper area |
Pinout & Package
SI4447DY-T1-GE3 is housed in a standard SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain pads for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package conforms to JEDEC MS-012 dimensions: 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.55 mm height, with 1.27 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to common drain node and exposed thermal pad - primary current path and heat sink interface |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Control terminal requiring ≤±16 V gate drive; 11.5 Ω typical gate resistance limits ringing |
| Source (S) | Source (S) | Pin 1 is source - referenced to system ground in high-side configuration; body diode anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers 20 % lower RDS(on) vs. planar P-channel MOSFETs in same SO-8 footprint, improving efficiency in space-constrained inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7410PbF | RDS(on) = 0.058 Ω at VGS = -10 V; Qg = 12 nC; SO-8 package | Slightly higher gate charge increases driver losses; identical VDS and ID ratings | Acceptable for lower-frequency (<30 kHz) inverters where gate drive capability exceeds 12 nC demand |
| DMN3026LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω at VGS = -10 V; Qg = 10.5 nC; SO-8 package; 30 V VDS | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤24 V input systems; tighter RDS(on) tolerance improves parallel operation | Preferred for 12–24 V CCFL systems prioritizing conduction loss over voltage headroom |
Compared with IRF7410PbF and DMN3026LSD-13, SI4447DY-T1-GE3 offers optimal balance of -40 V rating, 9 nC gate charge, and halogen-free compliance - making it uniquely suited for globally certified, thermally constrained CCFL inverters requiring both ruggedness and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4447DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4447DY-T1-GE3 supports -2.7 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value accounts for thermal resistance limitations in the SO-8 package and must be applied when designing for sustained operation in enclosed or high-ambient environments. The SI4447DY-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this rating under steady-state conditions with no heatsink.
Does SI4447DY-T1-GE3 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, SI4447DY-T1-GE3 includes an intrinsic body diode with VSD = -0.79 V to -1.2 V at IS = -1.7 A and reverse recovery time trr = 27–45 ns. These values are measured at TJ = 25 °C with dI/dt = 100 A/µs. The SI4447DY-T1-GE3 body diode is fully characterized and usable for freewheeling in DCM inverter designs without external diode addition.
Is SI4447DY-T1-GE3 suitable for use in automotive applications?
SI4447DY-T1-GE3 meets automotive-grade temperature requirements with TJ and Tstg ranging from -55 °C to +150 °C, and is qualified per AEC-Q101 stress test standards as documented in Vishay's reliability reports for part family Si4447DY. While not AEC-Q101 certified by default, the SI4447DY-T1-GE3 shares the same die and process as qualified variants and is widely deployed in automotive instrument cluster lighting.
What is the gate-source leakage current specification for SI4447DY-T1-GE3 at maximum rated voltage?
The SI4447DY-T1-GE3 specifies ±100 nA gate-source leakage (IGSS) at VGS = ±16 V and TJ = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal gate drive current consumption and stable biasing in high-impedance gate networks. The SI4447DY-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
How does the thermal resistance of SI4447DY-T1-GE3 compare between junction-to-ambient and junction-to-foot?
SI4447DY-T1-GE3 has RthJA = 85 °C/W (steady-state) and RthJF = 30 °C/W (steady-state), indicating that heat flows more efficiently from junction to exposed drain foot than to ambient air. This makes PCB copper pour under the drain pad critical: the SI4447DY-T1-GE3 thermal performance improves significantly when the drain terminals are soldered to ≥1" × 1" FR4 copper area, as validated in Vishay's application notes.
