Product details
Overview
SI4864DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 20-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET optimized for low-side switching in synchronous buck DC/DC converters. It delivers 25 A continuous drain current at TJ = 150 °C, 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, and features halogen-free construction per IEC 61249-2-21 - used in server and router power stages.
For engineers reviewing the SI4864DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4864DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4864DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4864DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V gate threshold compatibility, PWM-optimized Qgd/Rg, SO-8 thermal performance (RthJA = 67 °C/W), and 20 V VDS rating for point-of-load regulation.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance with fast switching dynamics. Its gate threshold voltage (0.6–2.0 V) enables direct drive from 2.5 V and 3.3 V controllers, and its 13.4 nC Qgd supports high-efficiency PWM operation in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.70–1.1 V forward voltage at 2.9 A and exhibits 57–80 ns reverse recovery time. Thermal design is supported by RthJF = 13–16 °C/W (junction-to-foot), enabling efficient heat transfer through the exposed drain paddle in SO-8 packages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications with margin |
| RDS(on) | 3.5 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 25 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 25 A |
| ID (continuous) | 25 A @ TJ = 150 °C - Supports high-current server VRMs without derating |
| Qgd | 13.4 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–2.0 V - Compatible with 2.5 V logic-level gate drivers |
| RthJA | 67 °C/W (steady state) - Requires ≤ 2.2 W dissipation for 125 °C junction rise on FR4 |
| VSD | 0.70–1.1 V @ IS = 2.9 A - Limits body diode conduction loss during dead-time |
Pinout & Package
SI4864DY-T1-GE3 is housed in a standard SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain paddle for thermal enhancement. Pin 1–8 follow JEDEC MS-012 layout; pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are Source, Source, Drain, Drain, Drain, Drain, Gate, and Source respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 8 | Source | Common source connection; electrically tied to internal substrate; requires low-impedance PCB pour |
| 3, 4, 5, 6 | Drain | High-current output node; thermally connected to exposed paddle; must be routed to ground plane |
| 7 | Gate | Control input; sensitive to ESD; requires series resistor (≤ 6 Ω) to damp ringing per datasheet test condition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Enables 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive while maintaining robust short-circuit ruggedness |
| PWM-optimized Qgd/Rg | 13.4 nC Qgd and 0.5–2.6 Ω Rg reduce switching losses and improve duty-cycle linearity |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants without compromising reliability |
| Exposed drain paddle | Reduces RthJF to 13–16 °C/W, enabling >2× power handling vs. non-exposed SO-8 equivalents |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier operating at 200 kHz with tight thermal constraints. Use Value: RthJF = 13 °C/W allows >2.5 W dissipation with minimal footprint, supporting compact heatsinkless designs. |
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 (16 nC); TO-252 package | Larger footprint; lower thermal conductivity than SO-8 exposed paddle | Prefer SI4864DY-T1-GE3 for space-constrained, high-power-density designs requiring SO-8 mounting |
| DMN2020LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V; 8-pin SO-8 but no exposed drain; RthJA = 80 °C/W | Higher junction temperature rise under same power; less suitable for sustained 25 A operation | SI4864DY-T1-GE3 offers superior thermal performance and lower conduction loss in identical package outline |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN2020LSD-13, SI4864DY-T1-GE3 provides the lowest RDS(on) in SO-8, best thermal resistance via exposed drain, and tighter VGS(th) distribution - making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability 20 V synchronous buck stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4864DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient?
The SI4864DY-T1-GE3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR4 board, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated ambient temperatures, and assumes proper PCB copper area for thermal conduction.
Does SI4864DY-T1-GE3 have a specified avalanche energy rating?
No, the SI4864DY-T1-GE3 datasheet does not specify unclamped inductive switching (UIS) or single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS). The device is rated for pulsed drain current (IDM = 60 A, 10 µs), but avalanche capability is not characterized or guaranteed per Vishay's documentation for this part number.
Is SI4864DY-T1-GE3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes, SI4864DY-T1-GE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its packaging meets MSL Level 1 rating, and the device withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, consistent with standard Pb-free process requirements.
What is the typical gate threshold voltage range for SI4864DY-T1-GE3 at 25 °C?
The SI4864DY-T1-GE3 has a typical gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 0.6 V to 2.0 V at TJ = 25 °C, measured at ID = 250 µA. This wide distribution supports reliable turn-on with 2.5 V logic-level drivers while maintaining noise immunity in noisy power environments.
How does the SO-8 package of SI4864DY-T1-GE3 improve thermal performance over standard SO-8 variants?
The SI4864DY-T1-GE3 uses an SO-8 package with an exposed drain paddle that thermally connects pins 3–6 to the PCB ground plane. This reduces RthJF to 13–16 °C/W (junction-to-foot), significantly improving heat transfer versus non-exposed SO-8 packages like DMN2020LSD-13, which exhibit RthJA ≥ 80 °C/W.
