Product details
Overview
SI4684DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized for high-side DC/DC conversion with RDS(on) = 0.0094 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 14 nC (typ.), and 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C - deployed in notebook and server power stages.
For engineers reviewing the SI4684DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4684DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4684DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4684DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge for fast switching, halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21, and thermal resistance RthJA = 36 °C/W (typ.) under 1" × 1" FR4 mounting.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchFET® process architecture with WFET®-optimized gate structure to minimize Qgd, enabling reduced switching losses in synchronous buck high-side configurations. Its 30 V VDS rating and ±12 V VGS support standard 3.3 V/5 V/12 V gate drive systems.
Specified RDS(on) values are validated at both VGS = 10 V (0.0094 Ω) and VGS = 4.5 V (0.0115 Ω), confirming robust operation with logic-level and standard gate drivers. Body diode trr = 30–45 ns and Qrr = 26–40 nC support moderate-frequency hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - supports input rails up to 24 V nominal with margin for transients in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.0094 Ω - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 12 A, critical for thermally constrained notebook PCBs |
| Qg | 14 nC (typ. at VGS = 4.5 V) - allows efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with low driver power dissipation |
| ID (continuous) | 16 A at TC = 25 °C - rated for high-current high-side switch in compact 8-pin SOIC footprint |
| RthJA | 36 °C/W (typ.) - defines thermal derating on standard FR4; junction-to-foot RthJF = 22 °C/W aids heatsink-aware layout |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–1.5 V - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V logic drivers while avoiding spurious conduction |
| trr / Qrr | 30–45 ns / 26–40 nC - limits body diode recovery loss during dead-time in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pad (pins 1–4: S, G, S, S; pins 5–8: D, D, D, D), optimized for thermal performance and high-current routing. Drain terminals are internally paralleled to reduce package inductance and improve current sharing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4 | Source | Common source node for internal die array; connects to low-side switch or ground plane |
| 2 | Gate | Control terminal requiring <14 nC total charge; low Rg = 0.2–0.9 Ω minimizes ringing |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain | Paralleled high-current output path tied to input rail; exposed pad enhances thermal transfer to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| WFET® gate technology | Reduces Qgd to 2.8 nC, lowering Miller-induced switching delay and improving dV/dt immunity |
| TrenchFET® construction | Enables 30 V rating with sub-10 mΩ RDS(on) in SO-8, eliminating need for larger packages or paralleling |
| 100 % Rg tested | Guarantees gate resistance between 0.2–0.9 Ω, ensuring consistent drive strength and EMI behavior |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Fulfills IEC 61249-2-21 and Directive 2002/95/EC for environmentally regulated computing equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 30 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 0.0085 Ω @ 10 V but Qg = 22 nC; SO-8, same pinout | Higher gate charge increases driver loss at >500 kHz; better for lower-frequency, higher-current use | Prefer SI4684DY-T1-GE3 when gate drive capability is limited or switching frequency exceeds 600 kHz |
| DMN3020LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.0095 Ω @ 10 V, Qg = 15.5 nC; dual-N in SO-8, shares source/gate pins | Integrated dual configuration suits half-bridge layouts but requires redesign for single-switch use | Select SI4684DY-T1-GE3 for dedicated high-side replacement where layout reuse and thermal isolation are priorities |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3020LSD-13, SI4684DY-T1-GE3 delivers the lowest Qg/RDS(on) ratio in its class, making it optimal for high-frequency, thermally constrained high-side switching where driver efficiency and junction temperature rise must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4684DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 supports 12.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SO-8 package under sustained power dissipation; actual usable current depends on PCB copper area and airflow. The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this value is measured with device mounted on 1" × 1" FR4 board.
Does SI4684DY-T1-GE3 support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, SI4684DY-T1-GE3 is fully compatible with logic-level gate drive: its VGS(th) range is 0.6–1.5 V, and RDS(on) is specified at 4.5 V (0.0115 Ω). At VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 9.5 A, the SI4684DY-T1-GE3 delivers low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching via Qg = 14 nC (typ.).
What is the avalanche energy rating of SI4684DY-T1-GE3?
The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 has a single-pulse avalanche energy rating EAS = 20 mJ, tested with L = 0.1 mH. This rating applies under controlled conditions (TJ = 25 °C, VDD ≤ BVDSS) and supports transient overvoltage handling in DC/DC converters. The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 datasheet specifies IAS = 20 A peak avalanche current under the same test setup.
How does the halogen-free status of SI4684DY-T1-GE3 impact its manufacturing compliance?
The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 meets IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, verified by Vishay's material declarations. This makes the SI4684DY-T1-GE3 suitable for environmentally regulated end equipment such as ENERGY STAR–certified notebooks and ETSI-compliant telecom hardware without requiring additional substance screening.
What is the typical gate resistance (Rg) of SI4684DY-T1-GE3, and why is it tested?
The SI4684DY-T1-GE3 has a guaranteed gate resistance Rg of 0.2–0.9 Ω (typ. 0.55 Ω), and 100 % of units undergo Rg testing. This ensures predictable gate ring damping and driver stage stability - critical for minimizing EMI in high-frequency synchronous buck converters using the SI4684DY-T1-GE3.
