Product details
Overview
SI4490DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 200-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET in SO-8 package, with RDS(on) = 0.080 Ω at VGS = 10 V, continuous drain current of 4.0 A (TA = 25 °C), and ±20 V gate-source voltage rating. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI4490DY-T1-E3 datasheet, SI4490DY-T1-E3 pinout, SI4490DY-T1-E3 application, or SI4490DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200-V VDS, low on-resistance at 6 V and 10 V drive, SO-8 thermal performance, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche capability (IAS = 15 A) and fast switching (td(on) = 14–20 ns, tf = 25–35 ns). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0 V typ.) enables 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 exhibits Qg = 34–42 nC, supporting efficient hard-switching operation in medium-frequency power stages up to ~500 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports primary-side switching in offline flyback and half-bridge topologies up to 170 V RMS input. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.065–0.080 Ω - enables <320 mW conduction loss at 4 A DC, critical for thermally constrained SO-8 layouts. |
| ID (continuous, TA = 25 °C) | 4.0 A - defines maximum steady-state load current without heatsink under standard FR4 board conditions. |
| Qg | 34–42 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching transition time in PWM controllers. |
| TJ range | –55 to +150 °C - ensures operation across industrial ambient environments and internal self-heating in enclosed enclosures. |
| RthJA (steady state) | 65–80 °C/W - sets junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, guiding thermal design on 1" × 1" FR4 PCB. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 (JEDEC MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain paddle for enhanced thermal dissipation. Dimensions: 4.80–5.00 mm × 3.80–4.00 mm × 1.35–1.75 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Seven parallel drain terminals tied to internal die drain and exposed paddle - provides low-inductance, high-current path and thermal conduction to PCB copper. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Single gate input - requires ≤6 Ω series resistance to limit ringing and ensure controlled turn-on/turn-off per datasheet timing specs. |
| Source (S) | Terminals 1–3 are source-connected in this variant | Three dedicated source pins reduce source inductance and improve stability in high-di/dt switching applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers lower RDS(on) per die area than planar MOSFETs, enabling higher power density in SO-8 footprint. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU Directive 2002/95/EC - required for consumer and industrial products sold in regulated markets. |
| 15 A avalanche rated | Withstands single-pulse inductive energy (EAS) without failure - eliminates need for external snubbers in relay-driving or solenoid-control circuits. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Qgd = 12.0 nC of total 34–42 nC Qg - improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of spurious turn-on during high dv/dt commutation. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Primary Switch | Motor Driver Half-Bridge Leg |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 24–48 V input isolated flyback converter delivering 5–12 V output for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side power switch operating at 100–300 kHz with unidirectional current flow and synchronous rectification support. Use Value: 0.080 Ω RDS(on) minimizes conduction loss at 3–4 A peak, while SO-8 thermal resistance enables stable operation without heatsink on standard PCB. | Use Scenario: 24 V brushed DC motor control in automated gate actuators, requiring bidirectional PWM and stall protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK20ZFP | TO-92 package, 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.13 Ω @ 10 V, ID = 3.5 A - higher on-resistance, lower current, through-hole mounting. | Used in low-cost AC-DC adapters where PCB space is unconstrained and thermal mass is available via chassis mounting. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs board space and thermal performance; not suitable for high-density SO-8 layouts. |
| IRF640NPBF | TO-220 package, 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω @ 10 V, ID = 18 A - higher RDS(on), higher current rating, larger footprint and better heatsinking capability. | Preferred in high-power linear regulators and audio amplifiers where thermal management uses external heatsinks and layout allows large copper areas. | Choose when higher peak current and superior thermal derating are needed, accepting larger size and manual assembly. |
Compared with STP4NK20ZFP and IRF640NPBF, SI4490DY-T1-E3 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), compact SO-8 footprint, and surface-mount manufacturability for space-constrained industrial power supplies - without requiring through-hole assembly or oversized heatsinks.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4490DY-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4490DY-T1-E3 supports 3.2 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C on a standard 1" × 1" FR4 board, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by the SO-8 package's RthJA of 65–80 °C/W and must be validated against actual PCB layout and airflow conditions. The SI4490DY-T1-E3 datasheet confirms this value under Note 'a' for continuous operation.
Does SI4490DY-T1-E3 have avalanche capability, and what is its rated current?
Yes, the SI4490DY-T1-E3 is rated for 15 A single-pulse avalanche current (IAS) with L = 0.1 mH, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. This capability allows it to safely absorb inductive energy during switching transients without destructive failure, making it suitable for driving relays, solenoids, and motors without additional clamping components. The SI4490DY-T1-E3 specification sheet explicitly lists this parameter under "Avalanche Current".
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4490DY-T1-E3, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The SI4490DY-T1-E3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2.0 V (typical), with no min/max range specified - only a typical value at ID = 250 µA. This low threshold enables turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V to achieve rated RDS(on). The SI4490DY-T1-E3 datasheet specifies that RDS(on) = 0.090 Ω is guaranteed at VGS = 6.0 V, confirming usable conduction at logic-compatible levels.
Is SI4490DY-T1-E3 suitable for use as an ideal diode in OR-ing applications?
Yes, the SI4490DY-T1-E3 is well-suited for active OR-ing due to its low RDS(on) (0.080 Ω), integrated body diode (VSD = 0.75–1.2 V), and SO-8 package thermal performance. When paired with a dedicated ideal diode controller, it replaces Schottky diodes to reduce forward voltage drop and power loss. The SI4490DY-T1-E3 datasheet confirms its suitability via low Qg and fast switching parameters essential for synchronous OR-ing control.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to foot (RthJF) for SI4490DY-T1-E3, and why does it matter?
The SI4490DY-T1-E3 has a maximum junction-to-foot thermal resistance (RthJF) of 21 °C/W, measured to the exposed drain paddle. This parameter is critical when the drain is soldered to a large PCB copper pour or thermal pad, as it directly governs heat transfer from die to board. Lower RthJF enables higher power handling without heatsinks - a key advantage over non-exposed-pad packages. The SI4490DY-T1-E3 datasheet specifies this value in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table.
