Product details
Overview
SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30 V, 40 A TrenchFET® power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, optimized for PWM switching in low-side synchronous buck converters and secondary-side synchronous rectification. It delivers RDS(on) of 3.0 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 4.0 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, with 37 nC total gate charge and 1.07 mm profile for space-constrained DC/DC designs.
For engineers reviewing the SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 pinout, SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 application, or SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, PowerPAK SO-8 land pattern guidance, and validated alternative options for high-efficiency power conversion layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 37 nC typ. at 4.5 V) and low Crss (320 pF) support high-frequency PWM operation up to 1 MHz while minimizing switching losses in synchronous rectifiers and low-side switches.
The device features a thermally enhanced PowerPAK SO-8 package with exposed drain pad, delivering RthJC = 1.0 °C/W (typ.) and RthJA = 18 °C/W (typ., t ≤ 10 s), enabling stable 40 A continuous conduction at TC = 25 °C without external heatsinking in properly designed PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V input rails and transient suppression in desktop/server DC/DC converters |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 3.0 mΩ max - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 20 A, critical for high-current low-side switch efficiency |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 4.0 mΩ max - Ensures robust turn-on with 5 V gate drivers in synchronous rectifier applications |
| Qg | 37 nC typ. @ 4.5 V - Supports efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with moderate gate drive strength |
| ID (continuous) | 40 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains full-rated current in thermally managed buck converter low-side positions |
| RthJC | 1.0 °C/W typ. - Direct die-to-PCB thermal path enables junction temperature tracking within ±2 °C of board temperature |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–3.0 V - Compatible with standard logic-level and microcontroller GPIO gate drive without level shifting |
Pinout & Package
SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 uses the PowerPAK® SO-8 single-channel leadless package (5.15 mm × 6.15 mm × 1.07 mm), with identical footprint and pinout to standard SO-8 but featuring an exposed copper drain pad on the bottom for enhanced thermal conduction. The package is Pb-free and halogen-free per J-STD-609.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source (S) | Four parallel source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt switching |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Exposed copper drain pad occupies pins 5–8 footprint; requires full-soldered thermal land for RthJC optimization |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | Pin 1 top-side connection; low 1.1 Ω gate resistance minimizes ringing and supports clean 20 ns rise/fall times |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Enables 3.0 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V in SO-8 footprint-equivalent to DPAK thermal performance without larger package |
| PWM-optimized gate charge | 37 nC Qg at 4.5 V balances switching speed and drive loss for 500 kHz–1 MHz synchronous buck stages |
| 100 % Rg tested | Guarantees gate resistance ≤1.7 Ω, ensuring consistent turn-on timing and eliminating need for external gate resistors in most designs |
| Low-profile 1.07 mm height | Enables ultra-thin power modules and laptop VRMs where Z-height is constrained to <1.2 mm |
| PowerPAK SO-8 compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for standard SO-8 MOSFETs using same land pattern-no PCB redesign required |

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, 50 A, RDS(on) = 2.3 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 48 nC - higher current rating but 30% higher gate charge | Better for >40 A continuous loads; less suitable for 500+ kHz switching due to increased drive loss | Select when board layout allows marginally larger thermal pad and gate driver can support 48 nC Qg |
| IRF7821TRPBF | 30 V, 36 A, RDS(on) = 3.4 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 27 nC - lower gate charge but 13% higher RDS(on) and SO-8 (leaded) package | Lower switching loss but higher conduction loss; requires reflow-compatible leaded assembly and has 16 °C/W RthJA | Prefer only if legacy SO-8 tooling must be retained and thermal budget permits 13% higher I²R loss |
Compared with SI7880ADP-T1-GE3, SiR870DP-T1-GE3 offers higher current headroom at the cost of increased gate drive demand, while IRF7821TRPBF trades conduction efficiency for easier gate drive and legacy compatibility-neither is pin-compatible, but both fit similar functional roles in buck converter low-side positions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SI7880ADP-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 of the PowerPAK SO-8 package under steady-state conduction, and assumes proper PCB copper area per Vishay Application Note AN821 for optimal heat spreading. At TC = 25 °C, the rating is 40 A.
Does SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 require a heatsink in typical desktop VRM applications?
No, SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 does not require an external heatsink in standard desktop VRM layouts. Its PowerPAK SO-8 package achieves RthJC = 1.0 °C/W (typ.), allowing direct thermal transfer to the PCB ground plane. With ≥1 in² of 2-oz copper on inner layers and a full drain land pattern, junction temperature remains below 105 °C at 30 A continuous, per Vishay thermal characterization data.
Is SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 compatible with standard SO-8 footprints?
Yes, SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 uses the PowerPAK SO-8 package with identical 5.15 mm × 6.15 mm outline and pin assignment as standard SO-8, enabling direct mounting on existing SO-8 land patterns. However, its exposed drain pad requires full-solder coverage of pins 5–8 area for optimal thermal performance-Vishay recommends minimum pad dimensions of 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm per Application Note AN826.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of SI7880ADP-T1-GE3?
The SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 body diode reverse recovery time is 45–70 ns (typ./max) at IF = 3 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and TJ = 25 °C, as measured per JEDEC standards. This fast recovery supports efficient synchronous rectification in high-frequency buck converters without significant shoot-through risk during dead-time transitions.
Can SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 be used with 3.3 V gate drive in synchronous rectifier mode?
SI7880ADP-T1-GE3 is not recommended for reliable operation with 3.3 V gate drive. Its gate threshold voltage range is 1.0–3.0 V, but RDS(on) rises sharply below 4.5 V: at VGS = 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 6.5 mΩ (extrapolated from typical curves), increasing conduction loss by >60%. Use only with ≥4.5 V gate drive for synchronous rectifier applications.
