Product details
Overview
SI4864DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 20-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET optimized for low-side synchronous buck DC/DC converters in servers and routers, featuring 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 25 A continuous drain current (TJ = 150 °C), and PWM-optimized gate charge (Qgd = 13.4 nC, Rg = 0.5–2.6 Ω).
For engineers reviewing the SI4864DY-T1-E3 datasheet, SI4864DY-T1-E3 pinout, SI4864DY-T1-E3 application, or SI4864DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 2.5 V drive, thermal resistance (RthJA = 67 °C/W steady-state), SO-8 package compatibility, and halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-based silicon architecture to achieve enhanced conduction efficiency and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.6–2.0 V) enables reliable turn-on with 2.5 V logic-level drive, while low Qgd/Qg ratio supports high-frequency PWM operation in point-of-load regulators.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.70–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A and exhibits trr = 57–80 ns under dI/dt = 100 A/µs - critical for minimizing reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - maximum blocking voltage suitable for 12 V input bus systems with margin |
| RDS(on) | 3.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, 25 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A in server VRMs |
| ID (cont) | 25 A at TJ = 150 °C - supports high-current, thermally constrained board layouts |
| Qgd | 13.4 nC - low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and shoot-through risk |
| RthJA | 67 °C/W (steady-state) - defines thermal derating on standard FR4; requires ≤ 1.6 W dissipation at 70 °C ambient |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–2.0 V - ensures robust turn-on with 2.5 V controller outputs without level-shifting |
| VSD | 0.70–1.1 V at IS = 2.9 A - low forward drop reduces body-diode conduction loss during dead-time |
Pinout & Package
SI4864DY-T1-E3 is housed in a standard SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain pads for thermal enhancement. Pin 1–8 follow JEDEC MS-012 outline with pins 1, 2, 3, 4 = Source, Source, Source, Gate; pins 5, 6, 7, 8 = Drain, Drain, Drain, Drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (S) | Common source connection for internal parallel die; low-inductance return path for high di/dt switching |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Parallel-connected drain terminals tied to exposed pad - primary heat-sink interface and power output node |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input; low Rg (0.5–2.6 Ω) enables fast, controlled turn-on with minimal external gate resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Enables 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive - reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. planar MOSFETs in same package |
| PWM-optimized Qgd/Qg | Qgd = 13.4 nC / Qg = 47–70 nC - improves switching efficiency and EMI behavior in 300–1000 kHz buck converters |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 - meets RoHS and green procurement requirements for enterprise infrastructure |
| Low VGS(th) tolerance | 0.6–2.0 V range - ensures consistent turn-on across temperature (-55 to 150 °C) and process variation |

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) = 4.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; higher Qgd = 17 nC; TO-252 package | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (RthJA ≈ 80 °C/W), less suited for dense server VRMs | Prefer when board space allows DPAK and cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets |
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V; SO-8 package; slightly higher VGS(th) (0.7–2.5 V) | Narrower VGS(th) distribution improves gate-drive margin at 2.5 V but increases risk of spurious turn-on near noise floor | Select when tighter VGS(th) control is needed for ultra-low-voltage controllers, accepting minor RDS(on) penalty |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN2020LFG-7, SI4864DY-T1-E3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) in SO-8, optimal Qgd/Qg balance for high-frequency buck stages, and guaranteed 2.5 V drive capability - making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained, high-efficiency server and networking power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4864DY-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient?
The SI4864DY-T1-E3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C with appropriate PCB copper area (1" × 1" FR4). This rating assumes steady-state thermal equilibrium and accounts for RthJA = 67 °C/W and PD = 2.2 W limit at that ambient temperature. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient per the datasheet's thermal curves.
Does SI4864DY-T1-E3 support 2.5 V gate drive in production systems?
Yes, SI4864DY-T1-E3 is explicitly rated for 2.5 V gate drive: RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ is guaranteed at VGS = 2.5 V and ID = 20 A. Its VGS(th) range (0.6–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 2.5 V logic-level controllers commonly used in server VRMs and networking PMICs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to foot (RthJF) for SI4864DY-T1-E3?
The SI4864DY-T1-E3 has a maximum junction-to-foot (drain) thermal resistance of 16 °C/W under steady-state conditions. This parameter reflects heat transfer from the silicon die directly into the exposed drain pad and is critical for estimating die temperature when using internal copper planes or external heatsinks attached to the SO-8 drain leads.
Is SI4864DY-T1-E3 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, SI4864DY-T1-E3 is both halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS-compliant. The "-E3" suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) termination, and Vishay documentation confirms full halogen-free construction for this ordering variant, satisfying environmental requirements for enterprise and telecom equipment.
What is the typical total gate charge (Qg) of SI4864DY-T1-E3 at 4.5 V drive?
The SI4864DY-T1-E3 exhibits a typical total gate charge (Qg) of 47 nC at VDS = 10 V, VGS = 4.5 V, and ID = 25 A. The maximum specified value is 70 nC, which informs gate driver sizing and switching loss calculations in high-frequency buck converter designs.
