Product details
Overview
SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel TrenchFET® MOSFET rated for -60 V drain-source voltage, 0.115 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -2.7 A continuous drain current at TJ = 150 °C. It operates in low-side switching configurations for power management in portable electronics and load-switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 datasheet, SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 pinout, SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 application, or SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -60 V blocking capability, gate-threshold voltage range of -1 V to -3 V, thermal resistance RthJA up to 120 °C/W, and TSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a trench-gate silicon structure optimized for low RDS(on) and fast switching in DC-to-DC conversion and battery protection circuits. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is specified between -1 V and -3 V, enabling reliable turn-on with standard logic-level negative gate drive.
The MOSFET integrates a body diode with VSD = -0.8 V to -1.2 V at IS = -1.25 A and exhibits Qg = 14.5–22 nC, supporting efficient gate driving in high-frequency PWM applications up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -60 V - supports input rails up to 60 V in reverse-polarity protection and high-side switch replacement topologies |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -10 V | 0.115 Ω - enables ≤300 mW conduction loss at -2.7 A, suitable for thermally constrained handheld devices |
| ID (continuous, TA = 25 °C) | -2.7 A - defines maximum steady-state load current without derating on standard FR4 board |
| VGS(th) | -1 V to -3 V - ensures robust turn-on margin with -4.5 V or -10 V gate drive, avoiding partial enhancement |
| Qg | 14.5–22 nC - determines gate driver current requirement and switching transition time in hard-switched converters |
| RthJA (steady state) | 100–120 °C/W - sets junction temperature rise under 1 W dissipation, guiding heatsinking decisions |
| VSD @ IS = -1.25 A | -0.8 V to -1.2 V - defines forward voltage drop during reverse-current freewheeling in buck or OR-ing applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pad (pins 1, 4, 5, 8) and common source connection across pins 2, 3, 6, and 7. Gate on pin 8; no internal isolation between source terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8 | Drain | High-current output node; electrically tied internally and to exposed thermal pad for heat dissipation |
| 2, 3, 6, 7 | Source | Common return path for load current and body diode; must be connected to same net |
| 8 | Gate | Control input requiring negative voltage relative to source to turn on; sensitive to ESD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® technology | Delivers lower RDS(on) per die area than planar MOSFETs, enabling compact TSSOP-8 footprint for -60 V rating |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21, supporting environmentally regulated end equipment without compromising thermal performance |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | Lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free terminations meet Directive 2002/95/EC, eliminating hazardous substances in assembly |
| Low gate charge (Qg) | 14.5–22 nC enables efficient switching at >200 kHz with minimal gate driver power loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si6457BDQ-T1-E3 | -60 V VDS, 0.095 Ω RDS(on) @ -10 V, -3.2 A ID - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (24 nC) | Better conduction efficiency at high current; less suitable for high-frequency switching due to higher Qg | Select when minimizing I²R loss dominates over switching loss, e.g., always-on battery backup paths |
| DMG6968U-7 | -20 V VDS, 0.032 Ω RDS(on) @ -4.5 V, -4.5 A ID - lower voltage rating, smaller package (SOT-23) | Not suitable for >20 V systems; limited to low-voltage logic-supply switching | Choose only for 3.3 V/5 V rail control where -60 V rating is unnecessary and board space is critical |
Compared with SI6459BDQ-T1-E3, Si6457BDQ-T1-E3 offers improved conduction loss but demands more gate drive energy, while DMG6968U-7 sacrifices voltage rating for size and cost in sub-20 V designs - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 supports -2.2 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C on a 1" × 1" FR4 board. This derated value accounts for reduced thermal dissipation capacity at elevated ambient temperatures and aligns with the device's RthJA = 120 °C/W maximum rating. Always verify PCB copper area and airflow in final design.
Does SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 integrates a parasitic body diode with VSD = -0.8 V to -1.2 V at IS = -1.25 A and VGS = 0 V. This diode enables freewheeling current in buck converters and reverse-current blocking in OR-ing configurations, and its voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss during diode conduction phases.
Is SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its "T1-E3" suffix denotes lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction, and it withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. The device meets RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI6459BDQ-T1-E3, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) range of -1 V to -3 V at ID = -250 µA. This means a gate-source voltage more negative than -3 V ensures full enhancement, while -4.5 V or -10 V drive guarantees low RDS(on). Logic-level compatibility requires a negative gate driver referenced to source potential.
Can SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 be used in avalanche-rated applications?
Yes, SI6459BDQ-T1-E3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 11 mJ and avalanche current IAS = 15 A with L = 0.1 mH. These ratings apply under defined test conditions and support limited unclamped inductive switching events, but sustained avalanche operation is not recommended without detailed thermal and reliability validation.
