Product details
Overview
SI4684DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.0094 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 14 nC (typ.), and 16-A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It serves as a high-side switch in DC/DC converters for notebook and server power stages.
For engineers reviewing the SI4684DY-T1-E3 datasheet, SI4684DY-T1-E3 pinout, SI4684DY-T1-E3 application, or SI4684DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge for fast switching, ultra-low on-resistance for conduction loss reduction, thermal performance under high-current pulsed loads, and RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® architecture with WFET®-optimized gate design to minimize Qgd, enabling high-efficiency synchronous rectification and high-frequency PWM operation. Its 30-V VDS rating and ±12-V VGS support standard logic-level and 5-V gate drive compatibility.
The device delivers 4.45 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C with RthJC = 22 °C/W (typ.) and supports 20-A single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 20 mJ), making it suitable for transient-robust high-side switching in buck and multiphase VRMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Supports input rails up to 24-V nominal DC/DC systems with margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.0094 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤1.5 W conduction loss at 12-A load, critical for thermally constrained notebooks. |
| Qg | 14 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching without excessive driver stress. |
| ID (cont.) | 16 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains high peak currents in server VRM phases with minimal derating. |
| RthJA | 36 °C/W (typ.) - Allows ~70 °C junction rise above ambient on standard FR4 PCB, supporting compact layout. |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–1.5 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers; low threshold minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk. |
| EAS | 20 mJ - Withstands inductive energy spikes during hard-switching events in non-synchronous topologies. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction; 8-pin layout optimized for high-current routing and thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to exposed pad; primary current path and thermal interface to PCB copper pour. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | High-impedance control terminal; low Ciss (2080 pF) and Qgd (2.8 nC) reduce switching losses and EMI. |
| S | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; pins 1–5 and 7–8 are source-connected in parallel for low-inductance return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extremely low Qgd | 2.8 nC - Suppresses Miller plateau duration, enabling faster turn-off and reduced cross-conduction in synchronous buck stages. |
| TrenchFET® construction | Optimized cell density and trench geometry - Achieves 0.0094 Ω RDS(on) in SO-8 without die size compromise. |
| 100 % Rg tested | Rg = 0.2–0.9 Ω - Guarantees consistent gate drive timing and eliminates need for external gate resistors in most designs. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and Directive 2002/95/EC - Required for CE-marked computing and data center equipment. |
| Low body diode VSD | 0.70–1.1 V @ IS = 2.3 A - Minimizes reverse recovery loss during dead-time conduction in synchronous rectifiers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP040N04L | RDS(on) = 0.0040 Ω @ 10 V, but SO-8 package lacks exposed drain pad; higher Ciss (2700 pF). | Better conduction loss, but inferior thermal resistance (RthJA = 55 °C/W) limits high-duty-cycle use. | Prefer SI4684DY-T1-E3 where board-level thermal management is constrained and pulse current dominates. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C026P | RDS(on) = 0.0026 Ω @ 10 V, but rated only for 30-V VDS with tighter VGS tolerance (±8 V); no avalanche rating specified. | Superior RDS(on) for ultra-low-loss designs, but unsuitable for transient-prone industrial environments. | Choose SI4684DY-T1-E3 when system-level reliability requires validated 20-mJ avalanche capability and ±12-V gate rating. |
Compared with IPP040N04L and NTMFS4C026P, SI4684DY-T1-E3 offers balanced trade-offs: lower thermal resistance than IPP040N04L due to exposed drain, and guaranteed avalanche ruggedness absent in NTMFS4C026P-making it optimal for thermally dense, transient-exposed DC/DC stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4684DY-T1-E3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4684DY-T1-E3 supports 12.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SO-8 package under sustained high-power operation and must be verified against actual PCB copper area and airflow conditions in the final design. The SI4684DY-T1-E3 datasheet confirms this value under steady-state conditions with proper heatsinking.
Does SI4684DY-T1-E3 support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, SI4684DY-T1-E3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranging from 0.6 V to 1.5 V, enabling full enhancement with 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers. Its RDS(on) = 0.0115 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V confirms robust conduction under logic-level drive, making SI4684DY-T1-E3 suitable for microcontroller-driven power stages without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI4684DY-T1-E3?
The SI4684DY-T1-E3 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 36 °C/W when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR4 board, with a maximum of 50 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and is critical for estimating junction temperature rise in real-world layouts. The SI4684DY-T1-E3 thermal performance is optimized via its exposed drain pad, which must be soldered to a large copper pour for best results.
Is SI4684DY-T1-E3 halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, SI4684DY-T1-E3 is both halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS-compliant per Directive 2002/95/EC, as confirmed in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 73324, Rev. C). The "-E3" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction, making SI4684DY-T1-E3 suitable for environmentally regulated markets including EU and China RoHS.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of SI4684DY-T1-E3?
The SI4684DY-T1-E3 exhibits a typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 30 ns under test conditions of IF = 9.5 A, dI/dt = 100 A/µs, and TJ = 25 °C. This fast recovery characteristic reduces switching losses in synchronous rectifier and freewheeling applications. The SI4684DY-T1-E3 datasheet also specifies Qrr = 26–40 nC, confirming low stored charge for minimal voltage overshoot.
