Product details
Overview
SI4862DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 16 V drain-source voltage, with RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V and continuous drain current of 25 A at TA = 25 °C. It features low gate resistance (typ. 0.5 Ω), 100% Rg tested, and is optimized for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters operating at low output voltages.
For engineers reviewing the SI4862DY-T1-E3 datasheet, SI4862DY-T1-E3 pinout, SI4862DY-T1-E3 application, or SI4862DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V logic-level gate drive capability, thermal resistance RthJA = 67 °C/W (steady state), and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB footprints for high-density power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is tightly specified at 0.6 V (min), enabling reliable turn-on with 2.5 V–4.5 V logic-level drivers. The device supports pulsed drain currents up to 60 A and integrates a body diode with forward voltage VSD = 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A.
Thermal design is supported by a maximum junction-to-foot (drain) resistance of 16 °C/W and a steady-state junction-to-ambient rating of 80 °C/W. Dynamic parameters include total gate charge Qg = 48–70 nC and gate-drain charge Qgd = 8.9 nC, indicating efficient switching control with minimal Miller effect in hard-switched topologies.

| VGS(th) | 0.6 V min - Ensures robust turn-on with 2.5 V microcontroller GPIOs or low-voltage PWM controllers. |
| RthJA | 67 °C/W (steady state) - Defines thermal derating curve; requires ≥1 in² copper pour for full 25 A operation at ambient ≤55 °C. |
| VSD | 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A - Body diode forward drop impacts reverse recovery losses during dead-time conduction. |
Pinout & Package
SI4862DY-T1-E3 is housed in a standard SO-8 (narrow) surface-mount package per JEDEC MS-012, with exposed drain pads for thermal enhancement. Pin 1–8 are arranged in dual-row configuration with pins 1–4 on left side and 5–8 on right side (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to common drain node and exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Control terminal requiring low-impedance gate drive path; sensitive to ringing due to low Rg (0.5–2.2 Ω). |
| Source (S) | Source (S) | Pin 6 is gate; source is internal connection to pins 1–4,5,7,8 via substrate - external source connection made through PCB trace to adjacent drain pins or dedicated source pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; higher Qg = 85 nC; TO-252 package | Larger footprint and lower current density; less suitable for space-constrained SO-8 layouts | Choose IRF7470PBF only if board layout allows DPAK and thermal mass exceeds SO-8 capability. |
| DMN3026LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 4.5 V; dual-N in SO-8; higher VDS = 30 V | Higher voltage rating adds unnecessary cost and capacitance for 16 V systems | Select DMN3026LSD-13 only when dual-N functionality or 30 V margin is explicitly required. |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3026LSD-13, SI4862DY-T1-E3 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low RDS(on), SO-8 footprint, and 2.5 V gate drive for 12–16 V synchronous rectification-without over-specifying voltage rating or sacrificing thermal performance in dense layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4862DY-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4862DY-T1-E3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SO-8 package with standard FR4 mounting. To sustain 20 A, the PCB must provide ≥0.8 in² of 2-oz copper connected to the drain pad; actual current capability depends on airflow, layer stack-up, and nearby heat sources. The SI4862DY-T1-E3 datasheet confirms this value under "Continuous Drain Current (TJ = 150 °C)" conditions.
Does SI4862DY-T1-E3 support gate drive from a 2.5 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes, SI4862DY-T1-E3 is specifically characterized for 2.5 V logic-level operation: its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is guaranteed ≥0.6 V, and RDS(on) is specified at 5.5 mΩ max at VGS = 2.5 V and ID = 20 A. This ensures full enhancement and low conduction loss when driven directly by 2.5 V CMOS outputs. The SI4862DY-T1-E3 also exhibits low gate resistance (0.5–2.2 Ω), minimizing gate drive power and enabling fast turn-on with minimal external buffering.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI4862DY-T1-E3 in steady-state conditions?
The steady-state junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for SI4862DY-T1-E3 is 67 °C/W maximum, measured on a 1" × 1" FR4 board with 2 oz copper. This value assumes standard SO-8 mounting with all drain pins soldered to a common thermal pad. In practice, RthJA can be reduced to ~45 °C/W with 2 in² of internal/external copper pour. The SI4862DY-T1-E3 datasheet specifies both typical (29 °C/W for 10 s pulse) and maximum (80 °C/W) RthJA values under defined test conditions.
Is SI4862DY-T1-E3 halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, SI4862DY-T1-E3 is both halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS-compliant (lead-free). The ordering code "-E3" explicitly denotes lead-free termination, and the Vishay datasheet states halogen-free status for this variant. The SI4862DY-T1-E3 is manufactured using halogen-free molding compounds and lead-free solderable terminations, meeting environmental requirements for industrial and consumer electronics without compromising reliability or thermal performance.
How does the body diode performance of SI4862DY-T1-E3 impact synchronous rectifier design?
The SI4862DY-T1-E3 body diode has VSD = 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A and reverse recovery time trr = 80–120 ns, which directly affects dead-time conduction loss and EMI in synchronous buck topologies. A lower VSD reduces forward conduction loss during non-overlap intervals, while fast trr minimizes reverse recovery current spikes. These characteristics make the SI4862DY-T1-E3 well-suited for high-frequency (>500 kHz) synchronous rectification where body diode conduction is unavoidable during gate transition periods.
