Product details
Overview
SI8429DB-T1-E1 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET in MICRO FOOT® 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm chipscale package, rated for −8 V VDS, 0.035 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V, and −11.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It serves as an ultra-low-threshold load switch in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8429DB-T1-E1 datasheet, SI8429DB-T1-E1 pinout, SI8429DB-T1-E1 application, or SI8429DB-T1-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 V gate threshold capability, 0.62 mm profile, junction-to-foot thermal resistance of 16 °C/W, and suitability for space-constrained low-voltage switching where <1 V gate drive is available.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve stable sub-1.2 V gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = −0.35 to −0.8 V) with tight temperature coefficient (−2.2 mV/°C). Its on-resistance is specified down to VGS = −1.2 V (0.098 Ω), enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion or NiMH battery rails without level shifting.
The MICRO FOOT® package integrates four solder bumps (G, S, D, D) directly on the die active surface, eliminating wire bonds and leadframes. Thermal path is optimized from junction to foot (RthJF = 16 °C/W typ.), supporting high-current density in minimal PCB area while maintaining 0.29 mm bump height and 0.8 mm pitch.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −8 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for low-voltage battery-side switching |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = −4.5 V | 0.035 Ω - Enables ≤35 mW conduction loss at 1 A, critical for portable thermal budget |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | −11.7 A - Supports high-current load switching without external heatsink |
| VGS(th) | −0.35 to −0.8 V - Allows direct control from 1.2 V logic or battery monitor outputs |
| Qg (typ.) | 21 nC - Low gate charge enables fast turn-on with minimal driver strength requirement |
| RthJF (steady state) | 16 °C/W - Efficient heat transfer to PCB copper through drain bumps, reducing junction temperature rise |
| Package | MICRO FOOT® 1.6 × 1.6 mm - 80% smaller footprint than TSSOP-8, 0.62 mm profile for ultra-thin devices |
Pinout & Package
MICRO FOOT® 4-bump chipscale package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, 0.29 mm bump height) with solder bumps on active die surface. Bump composition: 95.5/3.8/0.7 Sn/Ag/Cu; backside Ti/Ni/Ag metallization.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts −1.2 V to −5 V drive; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1640 pF) minimizes driver loading |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connected to system ground or battery negative in high-side switch configurations |
| 3 (D) | Drain | Power output terminal; dual D bumps (pins 3 & 4) share current and reduce thermal resistance to PCB |
| 4 (D) | Drain | Second drain connection; parallel routing lowers effective RDS(on) and improves current sharing in high-current paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.2 V gate threshold rating | Enables direct switching from single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2 V) or regulated 1.2–1.8 V rails without gate driver |

| Dual-drain bump configuration | Reduces effective thermal resistance to PCB by 30% vs. single-drain CSP, improving power handling in 1.6 mm² area |
| Ultra-low profile (0.62 mm) | Permits integration into <1 mm total thickness assemblies such as smart cards, wearables, and slim battery packs |
| Lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C; suitable for consumer and medical portable equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8427DB-T1-E1 | Same package and pinout; −6 V VDS, 0.022 Ω RDS(on) @ −4.5 V, −13.5 A ID; lower voltage rating | Better for ≤6 V systems (e.g., 2-cell NiMH); not suitable for −8 V transient protection | Select when system max VDS is ≤6 V and lower RDS(on) is prioritized over voltage margin |
| DMN10H260LSD-13 | SO-8 package; −10 V VDS, 0.026 Ω RDS(on) @ −4.5 V, −12 A ID; larger footprint (4.9 × 6.0 mm), 1.75 mm height | Higher power dissipation capability; requires PCB real estate and thermal vias | Choose when board space permits and higher surge current (IDM = −40 A) or industrial temp range is required |
Compared with SI8429DB-T1-E1, Si8427DB-T1-E1 offers lower on-resistance but reduced voltage margin, while DMN10H260LSD-13 provides higher VDS and surge rating at the cost of 18× larger footprint and 3× greater profile-making SI8429DB-T1-E1 optimal for ultra-compact, single-cell battery systems demanding <1.2 V gate drive compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for SI8429DB-T1-E1?
The absolute maximum VGS rating for SI8429DB-T1-E1 is ±5 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent gate oxide damage. The device is designed for reliable operation with gate drive between −1.2 V and −4.5 V in typical load-switch applications, and SI8429DB-T1-E1 must not be subjected to transient spikes beyond ±5 V even for short durations.
Can SI8429DB-T1-E1 be used in a high-side switch configuration with 3.3 V logic control?
No-SI8429DB-T1-E1 is a P-channel MOSFET requiring negative gate-to-source bias to turn on. With a 3.3 V logic high, the gate would be at 3.3 V and source at battery voltage (e.g., 4.2 V), yielding VGS = −0.9 V, which is below the guaranteed turn-on threshold. SI8429DB-T1-E1 requires either a dedicated negative gate driver or use in low-side configuration with source grounded. For 3.3 V logic-compatible high-side switching, a different topology is needed.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SI8429DB-T1-E1 under standard conditions?
The typical RthJA for SI8429DB-T1-E1 is 35 °C/W, with a maximum of 45 °C/W, measured on a 1" × 1" FR4 board with 1 oz copper (per datasheet note b). This value assumes no additional heatsinking; actual performance improves significantly with PCB copper pour and thermal vias under the drain bumps. SI8429DB-T1-E1 achieves lower thermal resistance to foot (RthJF = 16 °C/W), making board-level thermal design more effective than junction-to-ambient alone suggests.
Does SI8429DB-T1-E1 have integrated ESD protection on its gate?
Yes-SI8429DB-T1-E1 includes on-die gate protection diodes rated for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD per JEDEC JS-001. The gate-source leakage specification (IGSS ≤ ±100 nA at ±5 V) confirms robust gate oxide integrity. However, Vishay recommends standard ESD handling precautions during assembly, and SI8429DB-T1-E1 should not be exposed to uncontrolled static discharge exceeding 2 kV HBM without external protection networks in sensitive end-equipment.
Is the MICRO FOOT® package of SI8429DB-T1-E1 compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-SI8429DB-T1-E1 is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow, with peak temperature up to 260 °C (reflow condition IR/convection). The device supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s, soak at 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and peak dwell ≥60 s at 235–260 °C. SI8429DB-T1-E1 must not be hand-soldered; reflow is mandatory to ensure reliable solder joint formation on the 0.39 mm diameter bumps.
