Product details
Overview
SI7718DN-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in a PowerPAK 1212-8 package, rated for 35 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, with RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 8.2 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, optimized for high-side switching in VRM and POL applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI7718DN-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI7718DN-T1-GE3 pinout, SI7718DN-T1-GE3 application, or SI7718DN-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 13.7 nC gate charge at 4.5 V drive, 100 % UIS-tested ruggedness, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and thermal resistance of 1.9 °C/W (junction-to-case), critical for compact DC-DC converter designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with controlled Qg/Qgd ratio (13.7 nC total / 4.3 nC gate-drain charge), enabling efficient PWM operation in synchronous buck converters. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.5 V) supports logic-level and 4.5 V gate drive compatibility.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 19–35 ns and Qrr = 9.5–18 nC, and is characterized for operation across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with absolute maximum VGS = ±20 V and avalanche-rated IAS = 20 A (EAS = 20 mJ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 12 V and 24 V input POL stages. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 6.0 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A, supporting high-current VRM output stages. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 8.2 mΩ - Ensures usable on-state performance with standard 5 V or 4.5 V controller gate drivers. |
| Qg @ 4.5 V | 13.7 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power and switching losses in high-frequency (>500 kHz) PWM designs. |
| ID (cont.) | 35 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current rating; requires adequate PCB copper area for thermal management. |
| RthJC | 1.9 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting or thermal via design for power density scaling. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.5 V - Threshold range ensures reliable turn-on with margin above typical logic-high levels. |
Pinout & Package
SI7718DN-T1-GE3 uses the leadless PowerPAK 1212-8 package (3.3 mm × 3.3 mm), with exposed drain pads on the bottom side for enhanced thermal conduction. The top-side terminals are arranged in a single-row configuration: Source–Source–Source–Gate–Drain–Drain–Drain–Drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 (S) | Source | Common source connection; electrically tied internally; used for return path and gate reference. |
| 4 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires low-inductance routing and appropriate gate resistor to manage dV/dt and ringing. |
| 5–8 (D) | Drain | High-current drain node; all four pins connected to internal drain metallization and bottom-side thermal pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers ultra-low RDS(on) and optimized cell pitch for high current density in small footprint. |
| PWM-optimized switching | Low Qgd/Qg ratio (≈31 %) minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| 100 % UIS tested | Guarantees ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching stress-critical for POL transient reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiR870DP-T1-GE3 | 30 V, 40 A, RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 22.5 nC - higher current, higher gate charge. | Better suited for higher-current, lower-frequency (<300 kHz) VRMs where conduction loss dominates. | Choose SiR870DP-T1-GE3 if system prioritizes lowest RDS(on) over gate drive strength and switching speed. |
| IRF7759L2TRPBF | 30 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 7.0 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 12.5 nC - slightly higher RDS(on), lower Qg. | Optimized for space-constrained portable applications; SO-8 package limits thermal performance. | Choose IRF7759L2TRPBF only when legacy SO-8 footprint compatibility is mandatory and power density is secondary. |
Compared with SI7718DN-T1-GE3, SiR870DP-T1-GE3 offers lower conduction loss but demands stronger gate drive, while IRF7759L2TRPBF trades thermal capability for package compatibility-making SI7718DN-T1-GE3 the balanced choice for thermally demanding, medium-frequency POL designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI7718DN-T1-GE3?
The SI7718DN-T1-GE3 is rated for 35 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 25 °C, limited by package thermal capacity. At TC = 70 °C, the rating remains 35 A; at ambient temperature TA = 25 °C, it is derated to 18.5 A due to junction-to-ambient thermal resistance constraints. This reflects its package-limited design rather than silicon-limited capability.
Does SI7718DN-T1-GE3 support 4.5 V gate drive in practical applications?
Yes, SI7718DN-T1-GE3 is fully specified for 4.5 V gate drive: RDS(on) = 8.2 mΩ (max) at ID = 7 A and VGS = 4.5 V, and its VGS(th) range (1.2–2.5 V) provides ample margin. It is widely deployed in 5 V and 4.5 V controller-based POL converters, with verified turn-on behavior down to 3.3 V in some designs per characterization data.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SI7718DN-T1-GE3?
The SI7718DN-T1-GE3 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 1.9 °C/W, with a maximum of 2.4 °C/W. This value applies to the drain pad and is measured under steady-state conditions with proper soldering to a 1-in² copper area. It enables direct thermal coupling to heatsinks or internal PCB planes for high-power density layouts.
Is SI7718DN-T1-GE3 suitable for avalanche energy handling in inductive switching?
Yes, SI7718DN-T1-GE3 is 100 % tested for Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) and rated for single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 20 mJ and current IAS = 20 A (L = 0.1 mH). This makes it suitable for applications like motor drives or relay snubbing where inductive energy must be safely absorbed without external clamping components.
What does "T1-GE3" signify in the SI7718DN-T1-GE3 part number?
In SI7718DN-T1-GE3, "T1" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (1,000 units per reel), and "GE3" indicates Vishay's green, halogen-free, lead (Pb)-free construction compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709. The "DN" suffix identifies the PowerPAK 1212-8 package variant within the Si7718 family.
