Product details
Overview
SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, delivering 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 0.012 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 10 nC total gate charge. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or main switch in notebook system power and DC/DC converter stages.
For engineers reviewing the SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its halogen-free and lead-free compliance, 100 % Rg and UIS tested reliability, and thermal performance with RthJF = 18 °C/W (typical) for junction-to-foot conduction.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) and fast switching in high-frequency DC/DC topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (1.4–2.6 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive, while body diode recovery (trr = 24–40 ns, Qrr = 18–30 nC) supports synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement.
The device operates across –55 to +150 °C junction temperature range and features guaranteed avalanche energy rating (EAS = 20 mJ) and pulsed drain current capability (IDM = 60 A), making it suitable for transient-heavy load-switching and adapter primary-side switching where ruggedness and thermal stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines use in ≤30 V rail systems like notebook adapters and point-of-load converters. |
| RDS(on) | 0.012 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <0.5 W conduction loss at 10 A, reducing thermal stress in compact SO-8 footprint. |
| ID (cont.) | 16 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current output stages without forced air cooling on standard FR4 PCBs. |
| Qg | 10 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Low gate charge minimizes driver power and switching losses in 300–500 kHz DC/DC designs. |
| RthJF | 18 °C/W (typ.) - Efficient junction-to-drain thermal path allows direct mounting to copper pour or heatsinked ground plane. |
| VGS(th) | 1.4–2.6 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers and avoids false triggering under noise. |
| trr / Qrr | 24–40 ns / 18–30 nC - Fast, low-charge body diode enables efficient synchronous rectification in buck converters. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical robustness. Pin 1–8 arranged in dual-row configuration per JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–10 V logic-level signals; requires <1.5 Ω gate resistance to limit ringing during 10–22 ns turn-on delay. |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 (D) | Drain | High-side or low-side power node; pins 2/3/4/5/7/8 internally tied to exposed drain pad for low-inductance, high-current return path. |
| 6 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; connects to power ground or source of complementary FET in half-bridge. |
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) = 0.014 Ω @ 10 V; Qg = 12 nC; SO-8 but no exposed drain pad. | Lacks integrated thermal pad → RthJA = 62 °C/W (vs. 40 °C/W typ. for SI4890BDY-T1-GE3); unsuitable for thermally dense notebook adapters. | Select when board-level heatsinking is unavailable and lower cost outweighs thermal margin loss. |
| DMN3020LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.013 Ω @ 10 V; Qg = 11.5 nC; dual-N in SO-8; shares same footprint but different pinout (G-S-D layout). | Not pin-compatible - gate and source swapped; requires PCB redesign; intended for dual-FET half-bridge rather than single-switch use. | Choose only if redesigning for integrated half-bridge topology and needing matched dual-device characteristics. |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN3020LSD-13, SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 provides superior thermal performance via its exposed drain pad, verified avalanche ruggedness, and strict halogen-free compliance-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability, space-constrained notebook and industrial DC/DC applications where thermal headroom and environmental compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 supports 12.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SO-8 package under sustained power dissipation; design margins should maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C using the 18 °C/W typical junction-to-foot thermal resistance. The SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this value under steady-state conditions with proper PCB copper pour.
Is SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 5 V output buck converter?
Yes, SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its low 0.012 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V and fast body diode characteristics (trr = 24–40 ns, Qrr = 18–30 nC). When used as the low-side FET in a 5 V buck stage, the SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 reduces conduction loss versus Schottky diodes and enables >95 % efficiency at 3 A load. Its 10 nC Qg also simplifies gate drive design at 500 kHz switching frequencies.
Does SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 have a qualified avalanche rating?
Yes, SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 is rated for 20 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 20 A single-pulse avalanche current (IAS) under standardized test conditions (L = 0.1 mH). These values are 100 % production-tested per Vishay's UIS screening, confirming ruggedness against inductive switching transients in adapter and DC/DC applications where the SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 may experience unclamped inductive loads.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI4890BDY-T1-GE3, and how does it affect logic-level drive?
The SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 1.4 V to 2.6 V at ID = 250 µA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers while avoiding spurious conduction from noise. At VGS = 4.5 V, the SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 delivers 14 A ID and 0.016 Ω RDS(on), making it fully compatible with PWM controllers lacking dedicated high-side gate drivers.
How does the thermal performance of SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 compare between junction-to-ambient and junction-to-foot metrics?
SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 specifies RthJA = 40–50 °C/W (typ./max) for junction-to-ambient on 1" × 1" FR4, but achieves RthJF = 18–22 °C/W (typ./max) junction-to-foot-reflecting its exposed drain pad's direct thermal path to PCB copper. For thermal design, RthJF governs heat transfer when the drain is soldered to large copper areas, while RthJA applies to ambient-convection-limited scenarios. Both values are validated in the SI4890BDY-T1-GE3 datasheet under defined test conditions.
