Product details
Overview
SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, 0.011 Ω RDS(on) at -10 V gate drive, and -13.7 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C. It operates as a low-side load switch in power management circuits with halogen-free and lead-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
For engineers reviewing the SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SO-8 package thermal performance (RthJA = 70 °C/W steady-state), gate threshold voltage range (-0.6 V to -1.4 V), and verified operation down to -55 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance with fast switching characteristics: total gate charge is 37–56 nC, turn-on delay is 35–55 ns, and rise time is 60–90 ns under standard test conditions. Its body diode exhibits VSD = -0.7 to -1.1 V at -2.7 A source current, supporting synchronous rectification and reverse polarity protection roles.
The device is optimized for DC-DC converter high-side switches, hot-swap controllers, and battery protection circuits where negative gate drive simplifies level-shifting requirements. Absolute maximum ratings include ±12 V gate-source voltage and -50 A pulsed drain current, enabling robust transient handling in industrial power rails.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 0.012 Ω at -10 V; Qg = 42 nC; SO-8 package | Slightly higher gate charge increases driver power demand; identical thermal footprint | Preferred when legacy IR design reuse is required and minor RDS(on) increase is acceptable |
| DMN3026LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.013 Ω at -10 V; VGS(th) = -1.0 to -2.5 V; SOT-23-6 package | Smaller SOT-23-6 limits power handling to ≤2.5 W; wider VGS(th) range reduces noise immunity | Select only for space-constrained low-power (<3 A) applications where SO-8 layout cannot be accommodated |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3026LFG-7, SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 offers the lowest RDS(on) in SO-8, tightest VGS(th) distribution, and highest pulsed current rating - making it optimal for thermally demanding 10–13 A industrial switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 supports -7.9 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C with surface mounting on a 1" × 1" FR4 board. This rating reflects derating due to reduced thermal resistance margin and must be validated against actual PCB layout and airflow conditions. The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet specifies this value in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table under "Continuous Drain Current (TJ = 150 °C)".
Does SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 have an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 includes an intrinsic body diode with VSD = -0.7 to -1.1 V at -2.7 A source current and TJ = 25 °C. This diode supports freewheeling in inductive loads and reverse current blocking. The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 specification sheet confirms this parameter in the "Diode Forward Voltage" row of the Static Characteristics table.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4463BDY-T1-GE3, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of -0.6 V (min) to -1.4 V (max) at ID = -250 µA. This narrow range ensures consistent turn-on behavior with -3.3 V or -5 V logic outputs, eliminating the need for gate voltage translation. The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet lists VGS(th) in the Static Characteristics section with test conditions explicitly defined.
Can SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes, SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 is suitable for synchronous rectification in buck converters and OR-ing circuits due to its low RDS(on) (0.011 Ω), fast switching (tf = 75–115 ns), and body diode recovery time of 50–75 ns. Its P-channel topology simplifies gate drive in low-side configurations. The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 product summary and Typical Characteristics confirm these parameters under standard test conditions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 in steady-state operation?
The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 84 °C/W in steady-state operation on a 1" × 1" FR4 board, with a typical value of 70 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and must be adjusted for actual PCB copper area and airflow. The SI4463BDY-T1-GE3 Thermal Resistance Ratings table provides both typical and maximum values.
