Product details
Overview
SI4712DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V trench MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode in SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 0.013 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 14.6 A continuous drain current, and 8.3 nC total gate charge - optimized for low-side notebook system power switching.
For engineers reviewing the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4712DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4712DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4712DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its monolithic SkyFET® integration, 100% UIS testing, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and thermal resistance RthJA = 50 °C/W under standard mounting.
Technical Context
This device integrates a trench-based power MOSFET and Schottky diode on a single die, enabling synchronous rectification and body-diode bypass in compact DC-DC converters. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.5 V) supports logic-level drive, while RDS(on) remains stable across VGS = 4.5–10 V, ensuring robust conduction in battery-powered systems.
The SO-8 package provides dual-source/drain terminals per channel (pins 1–3 and 5–7), supporting high-current routing with low-inductance layout. Thermal performance is characterized by RthJF = 25 °C/W (junction-to-foot) and RthJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), validated on 1" × 1" FR4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 5–12 V input rail applications |
| RDS(on) | 0.013 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤1.5 W conduction loss at 12.9 A |
| ID (continuous) | 14.6 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current notebook CPU/GPU VRMs |
| Qg | 8.3 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Low gate drive energy for efficient 3.3/5 V controller interfacing |
| VSD | 0.48–0.65 V @ IS = 1 A - Schottky forward drop reduces reverse-recovery losses vs. standard body diode |
| trr | 17–34 ns - Fast recovery enables >1 MHz switching without excessive diode loss |
| RthJA | 50 °C/W - Thermal limit defines max 2.5 W ambient-power dissipation on standard PCB |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 narrow-body package (JEDEC MS-012), 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height, with exposed drain pad (pin 4) for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source | Common source connection for internal MOSFET and Schottky cathode |
| 4 | Drain (Foot) | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for RthJF = 25 °C/W |
| 5, 6, 7 | Drain | Parallel drain terminals - reduce current density and trace inductance |
| 8 | Gate | Control terminal - requires <2.5 VGS(th) for turn-on; 100% Rg tested |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SkyFET® Monolithic Integration | Single-die co-location of MOSFET + Schottky eliminates interconnect parasitics and improves EMI performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7850DP-T1-GE3 | 30 V, RDS(on) = 0.0095 Ω @ 10 V, SO-8, but no integrated Schottky diode | Lacks monolithic Schottky - requires external diode for synchronous rectification | Choose when lower RDS(on) is critical and board space allows discrete diode placement |
| IRF7759L2TRPBF | 30 V, RDS(on) = 0.0125 Ω @ 10 V, SO-8, integrated Schottky, but higher Qg = 14.2 nC | Higher gate charge increases driver loss and limits max switching frequency to ~750 kHz | Choose when thermal design prioritizes RthJA = 40 °C/W over gate drive efficiency |
Compared with Si7850DP-T1-GE3 and IRF7759L2TRPBF, SI4712DY-T1-GE3 uniquely balances low Qg (8.3 nC), monolithic Schottky integration, and 100% UIS validation - making it optimal for high-frequency, space-constrained notebook VRMs where diode recovery and gate drive loss are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4712DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4712DY-T1-GE3 supports 11.6 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 typical PCB copper area; actual current capability depends on heatsinking and airflow. The SI4712DY-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this value is measured on a 1" × 1" FR4 board with 2 oz copper.
Does SI4712DY-T1-GE3 include a Schottky diode, and how is it connected internally?
Yes, the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 integrates a monolithic Schottky diode with its MOSFET in a single die. The Schottky anode connects to the drain, and the cathode connects to the source - matching the polarity of the intrinsic body diode but with lower forward voltage (0.48–0.65 V) and faster recovery (17–34 ns). This configuration is confirmed in the device schematic and "Source-Drain Diode" section of the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 datasheet.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4712DY-T1-GE3, and does it support 3.3 V logic-level drive?
The SI4712DY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.2 V to 2.5 V at ID = 1 mA, enabling reliable turn-on with 3.3 V logic-level gate drive. At VGS = 4.5 V, it delivers RDS(on) = 0.0165 Ω - confirming strong enhancement-mode operation. This behavior is documented in the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 specifications table under "Gate-Source Threshold Voltage".
How is thermal performance characterized for SI4712DY-T1-GE3, and what is the junction-to-foot resistance?
The SI4712DY-T1-GE3 specifies RthJF = 25 °C/W (max) for junction-to-foot (drain pad) under steady-state conditions, enabling direct thermal coupling to PCB ground planes. This value is distinct from RthJA = 50 °C/W (max), which applies to junction-to-ambient on standard FR4. Both values are measured per JEDEC JESD51-2 and published in the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 thermal resistance ratings table.
Is SI4712DY-T1-GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 1 MHz buck converter?
Yes, the SI4712DY-T1-GE3 supports synchronous rectification up to 1 MHz due to its 17 ns body diode reverse recovery time (trr) and low Qgd/Qg ratio of 0.24 - minimizing Miller-induced switching delay and oscillation. The SI4712DY-T1-GE3 dynamic parameters (td(on), tr, td(off), tf) are validated at 10 V and 4.5 V gate drive, confirming usability in high-frequency VRMs.
