Product details
Overview
SI7196DP-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V (D-S) Power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, optimized for high-efficiency synchronous buck converters. It delivers RDS(on) = 0.011 Ω at VGS = 10 V and 0.0145 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, supports 16 A continuous drain current (package-limited), and features ultra-low Qgd (4.3 nC) for minimized switching losses in notebook core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SI7196DP-T1-E3 datasheet, SI7196DP-T1-E3 pinout, SI7196DP-T1-E3 application, or SI7196DP-T1-E3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-side core voltage switching and low-side system power stages where thermal performance, gate charge efficiency, and Pb-free compliance are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's WFET® technology to achieve extremely low gate-drain charge (Qgd = 4.3 nC) and input capacitance (Ciss = 1577 pF), enabling fast, low-loss switching in high-frequency DC/DC converters. Its 30 V VDS rating and ±20 V VGS range support robust gate drive margin in 3.3 V and 5 V control environments.
The PowerPAK SO-8 package provides a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.4 °C/W (typical), matching DPAK-level thermal performance while maintaining SO-8 footprint compatibility. It is 100 % avalanche tested and 100 % Rg tested per production lot, ensuring reliability in transient-heavy applications like CPU VRMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 24 V input rails and 3.3/5 V logic-level gate drive. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.011 Ω - Enables ≤1.3 W conduction loss at 12 A, critical for thermally constrained notebook VRMs. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.0145 Ω - Ensures stable on-resistance with standard 4.5 V gate drivers, avoiding underdrive-induced heating. |
| Qg (total) | 13.2 nC (at 4.5 V) - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables >1 MHz operation without excessive gate loss. |
| Qgd | 4.3 nC - Ultra-low Miller charge minimizes switching transition time and dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk. |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Supports extended industrial and automotive-adjacent operating environments. |
| RthJC | 2.4 °C/W (typ.) - Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, delivering DPAK-equivalent cooling in SO-8 footprint. |
Pinout & Package
SI7196DP-T1-E3 is housed in a leadless PowerPAK® SO-8 package (6.15 mm × 5.15 mm), featuring exposed drain pads on the bottom for enhanced thermal conduction. The package maintains identical pinout and footprint to standard SO-8, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (S) | Common source connection; pins 1–4 are internally tied and serve as low-impedance return path for high-current switching node. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | High-current output terminal; pins 5–8 form a single exposed copper drain pad on bottom side for thermal and electrical conduction. |
| 3 (center) | Gate (G) | Single gate input (pin 3); isolated from source/drain; requires <3.0 Ω gate resistance to ensure controlled turn-on/turn-off timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| WFET® Technology | Reduces Qgd by >30 % vs. conventional trench MOSFETs, directly lowering Esw in hard-switched topologies. |
| 100 % Rg Tested | Guarantees gate resistance ≤3.0 Ω, ensuring predictable gate drive timing and eliminating batch-dependent oscillation risk. |
| 100 % Avalanche Tested | Validates ruggedness against inductive energy dump (IAS = 20 A, EAS = 20 mJ), essential for unclamped flyback or synchronous rectifier faults. |
| Halogen-Free Construction | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants without compromising dielectric or thermal performance. |
| PowerPAK SO-8 Footprint | Enables direct substitution for SO-8 MOSFETs while delivering 5× lower RthJC than standard SO-8, improving board-level thermal headroom. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 30-V MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7157DP-T1-E3 | RDS(on) = 0.0086 Ω @ 10 V (lower), but Qg = 20 nC @ 4.5 V (higher); same PowerPAK SO-8 package. | Better conduction loss at high VGS, but higher gate drive loss limits optimal frequency to ≤500 kHz. | Select Si7157DP-T1-E3 only when conduction loss dominates and gate drive capability supports ≥20 nC charge. |
| IRF7478PBF | Standard SO-8 (not PowerPAK); RDS(on) = 0.013 Ω @ 10 V; RthJC = 16 °C/W (5× worse thermal resistance). | Requires larger PCB copper area or heatsinking to match SI7196DP-T1-E3 thermal performance at 12 A. | Choose IRF7478PBF only for legacy SO-8 layouts where PowerPAK thermal advantages are not required. |
Compared with Si7157DP-T1-E3, SI7196DP-T1-E3 trades marginal RDS(on) increase for significantly lower Qgd and total Qg, making it superior for high-frequency, gate-drive-constrained designs. Against IRF7478PBF, SI7196DP-T1-E3 delivers identical electrical specs with dramatically improved thermal management-no layout change needed, yet 43 °C lower junction rise at 2.7 W dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI7196DP-T1-E3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI7196DP-T1-E3 is rated for 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, limited by package thermal capacity-not silicon capability-as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Document 70336, Rev. C). This rating assumes proper PCB copper thermal relief and no airflow restriction.
Does SI7196DP-T1-E3 support 4.5 V gate drive in high-side synchronous buck configurations?
Yes, SI7196DP-T1-E3 specifies RDS(on) = 0.0145 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 10 A, and its VGS(th) range (1.0–3.0 V) ensures full enhancement with 4.5 V gate drive. This makes SI7196DP-T1-E3 suitable for high-side use with bootstrap gate drivers in standard 5 V logic systems.
Is SI7196DP-T1-E3 pin-compatible with standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
Yes, SI7196DP-T1-E3 uses the PowerPAK® SO-8 package with identical pinout, footprint, and land pattern compatibility to standard SO-8. Pin 1–4 = Source, Pin 5–8 = Drain, Pin 3 = Gate-enabling direct replacement without PCB redesign, as verified in Application Note AN821.
What is the body diode forward voltage and reverse recovery time of SI7196DP-T1-E3?
The SI7196DP-T1-E3 body diode has VSD = 0.75–1.1 V at IS = 2.3 A and trr = 25–40 ns at IF = 2.7 A, dI/dt = 100 A/µs, and TJ = 25 °C. These values are measured and guaranteed per datasheet Section "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" (Document 70336, p. 2).
How does the thermal performance of SI7196DP-T1-E3 compare to standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
SI7196DP-T1-E3 achieves RthJC = 2.4 °C/W (typ.), versus ~16 °C/W for standard SO-8 packages-a 6.7× improvement. At 2.7 W dissipation on a 105 °C board, SI7196DP-T1-E3 reaches TJ ≈ 107 °C, while a standard SO-8 would reach ~148 °C, directly preserving RDS(on) stability and current capability.
