Product details
Overview
SI4896DY-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 80-V TrenchFET® power MOSFET in SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 0.0165 Ω at VGS = 10 V and 10 A, with continuous drain current up to 9.5 A at TA = 25 °C. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or load switch in DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SI4896DY-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI4896DY-T1-GE3 pinout, SI4896DY-T1-GE3 application, or SI4896DY-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction, low gate charge (Qg = 34–41 nC), and thermal resistance RthJA = 65 °C/W for surface-mount thermal management on FR4 boards.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in medium-voltage DC power stages. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0 V typ.) enables reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drive.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.8 A and exhibits avalanche-rated capability (IAS = 40 A, L = 0.1 mH), supporting robust operation under inductive switching stress without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - supports input rails up to 48 V nominal systems with 2× safety margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.0165 Ω - enables <1.7 W conduction loss at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID Continuous @ TA = 25 °C | 9.5 A - suitable for 12–24 V buck converter outputs delivering up to ~200 W |
| Qg Total Gate Charge | 34–41 nC - allows efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with moderate gate driver strength |
| RthJA Steady State | 65 °C/W - requires ≤ 3.1 W dissipation for 150 °C junction limit on 1" × 1" FR4 board |
| VGS(th) | 2.0 V typ. - ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO or dedicated gate drivers |
| Body Diode VSD | 0.75–1.1 V @ IS = 2.8 A - lowers reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification |

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) = 0.015 Ω @ 10 V but SO-8 package with higher Qg (52 nC); no halogen-free certification stated | Higher gate drive power needed; less suitable for high-frequency (>1 MHz) designs | Prefer SI4896DY-T1-GE3 where halogen-free compliance and lower Qg are critical |
| DMN6016LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.016 Ω @ 10 V, same SO-8, but rated only to 60 V VDS; Qg = 26 nC | Limited to ≤ 36 V systems; insufficient margin for 48 V surge conditions | Select SI4896DY-T1-GE3 for 48 V+ applications requiring 80 V rating and avalanche ruggedness |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and DMN6016LFG-7, SI4896DY-T1-GE3 uniquely combines 80 V rating, halogen-free compliance, and balanced Qg/RDS(on) for cost-sensitive industrial power stages needing reliability and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI4896DY-T1-GE3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 supports 7.6 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR4 board. This value is derived from the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and accounts for thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures. The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 maintains safe operation within its 150 °C junction limit under these conditions.
Does SI4896DY-T1-GE3 support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the SI4896DY-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2.0 V (typical), and its RDS(on) is specified down to VGS = 6.0 V (0.022 Ω). This confirms full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs, making it compatible with microcontrollers and gate drivers without level-shifting. The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 performs reliably in such configurations.
Is SI4896DY-T1-GE3 suitable for avalanche energy handling?
Yes, the SI4896DY-T1-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching with IAS = 40 A (L = 0.1 mH). This avalanche capability is production-tested and guaranteed, enabling robust use in motor drive and relay driving applications where inductive kickback occurs. The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 eliminates need for external clamping diodes in many cases.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SI4896DY-T1-GE3?
The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 has a maximum steady-state junction-to-ambient thermal resistance RthJA of 80 °C/W, with a typical value of 65 °C/W when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR4 board. This value directly determines allowable power dissipation: at 25 °C ambient, the SI4896DY-T1-GE3 can dissipate up to 1.56 W continuously before reaching its 150 °C junction limit.
How does the halogen-free status of SI4896DY-T1-GE3 impact compliance?
The SI4896DY-T1-GE3 meets IEC 61249-2-21 for halogen-free printed wiring board materials and is RoHS-compliant per Directive 2002/95/EC. This ensures full environmental compliance for export to EU, China, and other regulated markets. The "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes this dual certification, distinguishing it from the lead-free-only "-E3" variant. SI4896DY-T1-GE3 satisfies strict green electronics requirements.
