Product details
Overview
SI7160DP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V (D-S) MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.0087 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 20-A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C), and 44 nC total gate charge. It is designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in notebook power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SI7160DP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI7160DP-T1-GE3 pinout, SI7160DP-T1-GE3 application, or SI7160DP-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance, integrated body diode with 29 ns reverse recovery time, halogen-free construction, and thermal resistance of 3.4 °C/W (junction-to-case).
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® Gen II technology to achieve optimized Qg and low RDS(on) while maintaining robust UIS and avalanche capability (IAS = 20 A, EAS = 20 mJ). Its integrated Schottky diode enables fast switching with VSD = 0.36 V at IS = 2 A and trr = 29 ns.
The PowerPAK SO-8 package delivers low 1.07 mm profile and enhanced thermal performance (RthJC = 3.4 °C/W typical), supporting high-density PCB layouts. Gate threshold voltage is tightly specified at 1.0–2.5 V, enabling reliable 4.5-V logic-level drive compatibility.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 5-V and 12-V input DC/DC stages |
| RDS(on) | 0.0087 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 20 A in high-current synchronous buck phases |
| ID (continuous) | 20 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current rating suitable for notebook CPU/GPU VRMs |
| Qg | 44 nC @ VGS = 10 V - Optimized for efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with minimal driver loss |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.5 V - Ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7157DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.012 Ω @ 10 V; higher Qg (52 nC); same PowerPAK SO-8 package and 30-V rating | Lower current handling (16 A vs. 20 A); less suitable for >15-A VRM phases | Select when lower cost is prioritized over peak efficiency at high load, and thermal margin permits higher RDS(on). |
| IRF7759L2TRPBF | 30-V rating, RDS(on) = 0.0095 Ω @ 10 V, but no integrated Schottky diode; SO-8 package with different pinout (G-S-D layout) | Requires external Schottky for synchronous rectification; not drop-in compatible due to pin assignment and missing diode | Choose only if external diode placement is acceptable and board layout can accommodate revised gate-source-drain routing. |
Compared with Si7157DP-T1-GE3 and IRF7759L2TRPBF, SI7160DP-T1-GE3 offers the lowest RDS(on) and built-in Schottky diode - critical for minimizing component count and conduction loss in notebook VRMs where space and efficiency are co-constrained.

The SI7160DP-T1-GE3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating is package-limited and assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal vias per Vishay's recommended layout for PowerPAK SO-8.
Does SI7160DP-T1-GE3 include an integrated Schottky diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, SI7160DP-T1-GE3 integrates a Schottky diode between source and drain. Key parameters include VSD = 0.36 V at IS = 2 A, reverse recovery time trr = 29 ns, and Qrr = 21 nC - all measured at TJ = 25 °C with dI/dt = 100 A/µs.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SI7160DP-T1-GE3, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
The SI7160DP-T1-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 1.0–2.5 V, ensuring full enhancement with standard 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers. This range guarantees reliable turn-on even with driver output tolerances and PCB trace losses, making SI7160DP-T1-GE3 suitable for logic-level control in notebook VRMs.
Is SI7160DP-T1-GE3 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, SI7160DP-T1-GE3 is both halogen-free (per IEC 61249-2-21) and RoHS-compliant. The "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction, verified per Vishay's material declarations and manufacturing specifications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SI7160DP-T1-GE3, and how should it be used in thermal design?
The SI7160DP-T1-GE3 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance RthJC of 3.4 °C/W. This value applies to heat flow from the silicon die to the bottom-exposed drain pad and is used to calculate die temperature when a heatsink or thermal pad is attached directly to the package underside.
