Product details
Overview
SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a lead-free and halogen-free N-channel 20-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAK SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 2.25 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 2.75 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, rated for 40 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and optimized for low-output-voltage synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 pinout, SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 application, or SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-V VDS, ultra-low on-resistance, 46 nC total gate charge at 4.5 V drive, 1.0 °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 high channel density and low RDS(on) across both 10 V and 4.5 V gate drive conditions. Its dynamic parameters-including Qgd/Qg ratio, Ciss = 6110 pF, and fast switching times (td(on) = 16 ns, tf = 8 ns at 10 V drive)-are optimized for PWM-controlled synchronous buck stages.
The device integrates a robust body diode with VSD = 0.65–1.1 V at IS = 5 A and trr = 50–75 ns, enabling efficient reverse recovery in high-frequency synchronous rectification. Thermal design leverages the exposed-drain PowerPAK SO-8 footprint, achieving RthJC = 1.0 °C/W and supporting up to 83 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12-V input and sub-5-V output DC/DC systems |
| RDS(on) | 2.25 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 20 A, critical for high-efficiency POL converters |
| ID (continuous) | 40 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains high-current loads without derating when heatsinked to PCB copper |
| Qg | 46 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Matches typical controller gate drive strength for efficient 5-V logic-level operation |
| RthJC | 1.0 °C/W - Direct thermal path from die to PCB enables compact thermal design without external heatsinks |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–1.6 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3-V or 5-V gate drivers |
| Ciss | 6110 pF - High input capacitance mitigates EMI risk but requires careful gate driver sizing |
| trr | 50–75 ns - Fast body diode recovery reduces shoot-through losses in synchronous rectifier mode |
Pinout & Package
SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 uses the PowerPAK® SO-8 package-a leadless, surface-mount variant of the SO-8 footprint with an exposed drain pad on the bottom for enhanced thermal conduction. Dimensions: 6.15 mm × 5.15 mm × 1.04 mm (L × W × H), compatible with standard SO-8 land patterns while delivering DPAK-equivalent thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–16 V drive; 1.1 Ω max gate resistance limits ringing and EMI |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; tied to power ground in synchronous rectifier topology |
| 3 (S) | Source | Second source connection; parallel path reduces source inductance and improves current sharing |
| 4 (G) | Gate | Redundant gate terminal; electrically identical to Pin 1; used for Kelvin gate connection in high-precision layouts |
| 5 (D) | Drain | Main power terminal; connected to exposed copper pad on bottom; primary heat transfer path to PCB |
| 6 (D) | Drain | Secondary drain connection; shares current with Pin 5; increases current-carrying capacity and reduces thermal gradient |
| 7 (D) | Drain | Third drain connection; further distributes high-current load across package; minimizes localized heating |
| 8 (D) | Drain | Fourth drain connection; completes quad-drain configuration for lowest possible RDS(on) and thermal resistance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® technology | Enables 2.25 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V in SO-8 footprint-2× lower than conventional planar MOSFETs of same size |
| PWM-optimized Qgd/Rg | Low gate-drain charge (8.8 nC) and controlled Rg (0.5–1.7 Ω) minimize switching loss and voltage overshoot during hard commutation |
| 100 % Rg tested | Guarantees gate resistance within 0.5–1.7 Ω range-critical for consistent switching timing and driver stress prediction |
| PowerPAK SO-8 package | Same 5.15 mm × 6.15 mm outline as SO-8 but with exposed drain; achieves 1.0 °C/W RthJC-matching DPAK thermal performance |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-4101D/21 and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow standards; peak solder temperature 260 °C; no brominated flame retardants |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 20-V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7450DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 2.7 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 42 nC; same PowerPAK SO-8 package | Slightly higher RDS(on) but lower Qg; better suited for higher-frequency (>1 MHz) designs where gate loss dominates | Select Si7450DP-T1-GE3 when optimizing for 1–2 MHz switching with marginal conduction loss budget |
| IRF7478PBF | RDS(on) = 2.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 52 nC; standard SO-8 package; RthJC = 16 °C/W | Higher thermal resistance limits power handling; requires larger PCB copper area or heatsink for equivalent current | Choose IRF7478PBF only if legacy SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and thermal margin >25 °C is available |
Compared with Si7450DP-T1-GE3, SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 offers lower RDS(on) for reduced conduction loss in high-current, low-frequency applications; compared with IRF7478PBF, it delivers 15× lower junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling 3× higher continuous current on identical PCB area without thermal derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 supports 32 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; actual usable current depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and ambient temperature. The device maintains RDS(on) = 2.75 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V across this temperature range, ensuring predictable loss behavior in thermally constrained designs.
Does SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 support 3.3-V gate drive in practical applications?
Yes, SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 is fully compatible with 3.3-V gate drive: its VGS(th) range (0.6–1.6 V) guarantees turn-on, and RDS(on) = 2.75 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V indicates strong enhancement even at 3.3 V (typical RDS(on) ≈ 3.5–4.0 mΩ). For 3.3-V systems, verify gate driver peak current capability ≥2 A to charge 46 nC gate charge within required switching times.
How does the PowerPAK SO-8 package of SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 improve thermal performance versus standard SO-8?
The SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 PowerPAK SO-8 package achieves RthJC = 1.0 °C/W-16× lower than standard SO-8 (16 °C/W)-by replacing molded leads with an exposed copper drain pad directly bonded to PCB copper. This eliminates thermal bottlenecks in the leadframe, allowing >80 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C versus <5 W for standard SO-8, enabling high-current operation without heatsinks.
Can SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 be used as a direct replacement for standard SO-8 MOSFETs on existing PCBs?
Yes, SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 uses the identical 5.15 mm × 6.15 mm footprint and pinout as standard SO-8, permitting drop-in replacement. However, its exposed drain pad requires full-solder coverage of the bottom thermal pad per Vishay's recommended land pattern (Document 72599); routing traces under the package is prohibited due to zero clearance between body and PCB.
What is the avalanche energy rating of SI7868ADP-T1-GE3, and how is it validated?
The SI7868ADP-T1-GE3 is rated for 45 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) with L = 0.1 mH, verified per JEDEC JESD24-1. This rating ensures robustness against inductive switching transients in synchronous rectifier and motor drive applications. Avalanche testing is performed on 100% of production lots, with no degradation in RDS(on) or VGS(th) observed post-test.
