Product details
Overview
SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 200 V, 17.2 A (TC = 25 °C) PowerPAK® SO-8 MOSFET with RDS(on) = 0.070 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 15 nC typ., and optimized ThunderFET® technology for DC/DC converters and primary-side switching in telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 datasheet, SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 pinout, SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 application, or SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VDS, low gate charge for high-frequency switching, robust UIS rating, and thermal performance in surface-mount power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar trench-gate structure with ThunderFET® optimization to balance conduction loss (RDS(on)), switching speed (Qg, Qgd), and output capacitance (Coss = 100 pF). It supports hard-switched topologies up to 200 V drain-source voltage and delivers 26 A continuous body diode current for synchronous rectification.
Thermal design is enabled by a low RthJC of 1.9 °C/W (typ.) and RthJA of 20 °C/W (t ≤ 10 s) on FR4. The device is 100 % Rg and UIS tested, with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 2–4 V and body diode reverse recovery time trr = 126 ns (typ.) at IF = 10 A.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Fixed Telecom Power Supply | Isolated DC/DC Converter |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage N-channel power switch handling full input voltage and load current. Use Value: 200 V VDS and 17.2 A ID support high-power density without series stacking; low Qg reduces gate drive loss. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss freewheeling switch replacing Schottky diodes to improve efficiency above 12 V output. Use Value: 26 A continuous body diode current and 126 ns trr enable clean commutation with minimal voltage overshoot. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turning, avalanche-rated switch managing high dv/dt and peak currents. Use Value: 11.25 mJ EAS and 15 A IAS provide margin against transformer leakage spikes and startup transients. |
Use Scenario: Output rectifier in high-current, low-voltage (3.3–12 V) point-of-load regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional conduction path with low RDS(on) and fast body diode recovery. Use Value: 0.070 Ω RDS(on) cuts conduction loss vs. discrete diodes; Qrr = 360 nC limits switching loss at 1 MHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 200 V MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF640NPBF | TO-220 package, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω @ 10 V, Qg = 67 nC - higher conduction and switching loss | Requires heatsink and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density surface-mount designs | Choose only if through-hole mounting and lower cost outweigh efficiency and size penalties |
| SiHP20N20CL | PowerPAK 8x8, RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ 10 V, Qg = 42 nC - lower RDS(on) but higher gate charge | Better conduction loss at high current, but slower switching and higher gate drive power | Select when thermal headroom is limited and switching frequency < 300 kHz; verify layout compatibility with larger 8x8 footprint |
Compared with IRF640NPBF, SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 offers 61 % lower RDS(on) and 78 % lower Qg in a surface-mount package, enabling smaller, cooler, and more efficient designs; versus SiHP20N20CL, it trades 31 % higher RDS(on) for 64 % lower Qg, favoring high-frequency operation where gate drive loss dominates.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 supports 13.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits under steady-state conduction and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow in the target application. The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 datasheet confirms this value with test conditions defined per JEDEC standards.
Does SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2–4 V, allowing reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers. However, full enhancement to RDS(on) = 0.070 Ω requires VGS = 10 V; using 5 V drive yields higher on-resistance (~0.12 Ω) and increased conduction loss. The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 specification sheet explicitly defines these VGS dependencies.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SI7172ADP-T1-RE3?
The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance RthJC of 1.9 °C/W and a maximum of 2.4 °C/W, measured from junction to the exposed drain paddle. This low value enables efficient heat transfer to the PCB ground plane or external heatsink. The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 thermal characterization is validated per JESD51-14 and documented in the Vishay datasheet revision A.
Is SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes, SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its 26 A continuous source-drain diode current, 126 ns typical reverse recovery time (trr), and 360 nC typical reverse recovery charge (Qrr). These parameters minimize body diode losses and voltage spikes during commutation. The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 datasheet includes dedicated diode characterization curves confirming this capability.
What is the gate resistance (Rg) specification for SI7172ADP-T1-RE3?
The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 has a typical gate resistance Rg of 1.6 Ω, with minimum and maximum values of 0.5 Ω and 3.0 Ω respectively, measured at 1 MHz. This parameter directly affects switching speed and gate driver power requirements. The SI7172ADP-T1-RE3 datasheet lists Rg in the Dynamic specifications table and notes it is 100 % production tested.
