Product details
Overview
SI7790DP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 40-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAK SO-8 package, delivering 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, RDS(on) of 4.5 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, and 6 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the SI7790DP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI7790DP-T1-GE3 pinout, SI7790DP-T1-GE3 application, or SI7790DP-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on), 29 nC total gate charge at 4.5 V drive, 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and compatibility with standard SO-8 PCB footprints while offering DPAK-level thermal performance.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with controlled Qg/Qgd ratio. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.5 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive, and it features 100 % Rg and UIS testing for production reliability.
The device integrates a source-drain body diode with 0.72–1.1 V forward voltage at 3 A and 31–50 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge topologies without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS (Max) | 40 V - Supports input rails up to 36 V nominal in industrial and telecom DC/DC converters. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 4.5 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 15 A, critical for high-current POL stages. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 6.0 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement with 5 V or 4.5 V gate drivers, eliminating level-shifting needs. |
| Qg (Typ) | 29 nC @ 4.5 V - Reduces gate drive power and switching losses in high-frequency (>500 kHz) operation. |
| ID (Cont) @ TC=25°C | 50 A - Package-limited current rating suitable for high-power density board-mounted converters. |
| RthJC | 1.2 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper planes, achieving DPAK-equivalent cooling in SO-8 footprint. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.5 V - Provides noise-immune turn-on margin with typical 1.8 V threshold, minimizing shoot-through risk. |
Pinout & Package
PowerPAK SO-8 is a leadless surface-mount package with exposed drain paddle on bottom, identical 5.15 mm × 6.15 mm footprint and pinout to standard SO-8, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign. The package uses copper substrate for low-inductance, high-current routing and enhanced thermal dissipation via bottom-side solder joint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source | Common source connection for internal parallel die; low-inductance return path for high di/dt currents. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain | Exposed copper drain paddle (pins 5–8 + bottom pad); primary heat transfer path to PCB copper. |
| 3 | Gate | Single gate terminal (pin 3 only); isolated control node with 0.2–2.0 Ω gate resistance for EMI-controlled turn-on/off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40-V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 10 V; higher Qg (42 nC @ 4.5 V); same PowerPAK SO-8 package. | Better conduction loss but higher gate drive demand; suited for <300 kHz fixed-frequency designs. | Choose Si7850DP-T1-GE3 when lowest possible RDS(on) outweighs gate drive complexity and cost. |
| IRF7470PBF | Standard SO-8 package; RDS(on) = 5.5 mΩ @ 10 V; RthJA = 62 °C/W (vs. 24 °C/W for SI7790DP-T1-GE3). | Limited thermal headroom; requires larger heatsink or derating below 30 A continuous. | Choose IRF7470PBF only if legacy SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and power density is secondary. |
Compared with SI7790DP-T1-GE3, Si7850DP-T1-GE3 offers lower conduction loss but demands more gate drive energy, while IRF7470PBF sacrifices thermal performance and current capability to retain legacy packaging-making SI7790DP-T1-GE3 the optimal balance of efficiency, thermal management, and design flexibility for new 40 V power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI7790DP-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI7790DP-T1-GE3 supports 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C per Vishay's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating is package-limited and applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB thermal management using the exposed drain paddle.
Does SI7790DP-T1-GE3 require a gate resistor for reliable operation in a 500 kHz buck converter?
Yes, SI7790DP-T1-GE3 benefits from an external gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) to control dV/dt and reduce EMI. Its intrinsic gate resistance is 0.2–2.0 Ω, but adding series resistance dampens ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and improves switching waveform stability at 500 kHz.
Is SI7790DP-T1-GE3 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No, SI7790DP-T1-GE3 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C) and intended for computing, telecom, and industrial power supplies-not automotive safety-critical systems. For AEC-Q101, consider Vishay's SQ-series equivalents.
Can SI7790DP-T1-GE3 be mounted on a standard SO-8 land pattern without thermal penalty?
SI7790DP-T1-GE3 can be mounted on a standard SO-8 land pattern, but thermal performance degrades: RthJA increases from 24 °C/W (optimized layout) to ~65 °C/W. Full thermal benefit requires extended drain copper area per Vishay Application Note AN821 and recommended pad patterns in AN826.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SI7790DP-T1-GE3 at 3 A and 25 °C?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of SI7790DP-T1-GE3 is specified as 0.72 V (typical) to 1.1 V (max) at IS = 3 A and TJ = 25 °C. This low VSD supports efficient freewheeling in non-synchronous topologies and reduces reverse recovery losses during commutation.
