Product details
Overview
SI8461DB-T2-E1 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel -20 V (D-S) TrenchFET® power MOSFET in MICRO FOOT® 1 mm × 1 mm package, delivering RDS(on) = 0.100 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V and continuous drain current of -3.7 A at TA = 25 °C. It serves as a compact, low-profile load switch in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SI8461DB-T2-E1 datasheet, SI8461DB-T2-E1 pinout, SI8461DB-T2-E1 application, or SI8461DB-T2-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-thin 0.548 mm height, thermal resistance RthJA = 55 °C/W (full copper), gate charge Qg = 9.5 nC at -4.5 V, and body diode recovery time trr = 15 ns - all critical for high-efficiency battery and charger switching.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance with minimal gate drive voltage, enabling operation down to VGS = -1.5 V. Its MICRO FOOT® bump-based packaging eliminates wire bonds and solder joints, reducing parasitic inductance and improving thermal path from die to PCB.
The Si8461DB-T2-E1 features a negative threshold voltage range of -0.4 V to -1.0 V, supports pulsed drain currents up to -20 A, and integrates a source-drain diode with VSD = -0.8 V at -1 A and Qrr = 10 nC - optimized for synchronous rectification and reverse polarity protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - maximum blocking voltage for battery-side switching in 3.3 V–12 V systems |
| RDS(on) | 0.100 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 3.7 A load current |
| ID (continuous) | -3.7 A at TA = 25 °C - supports USB-C PD and multi-cell Li-ion battery switches |
| Qg | 9.5 nC at VGS = -4.5 V - allows fast turn-on with low gate driver power demand |
| trr | 15 ns - minimizes switching losses during body diode commutation in buck or OR-ing configurations |
| RthJA | 55 °C/W (full copper) - enables 1.8 W dissipation without heatsink on standard FR4 |
| Package | MICRO FOOT® 1 mm × 1 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 4-bump - 70% smaller footprint than SOT-23 |
Pinout & Package
MICRO FOOT® 1 mm × 1 mm package with 4 solder bumps: Pin 1 = Source, Pin 2 = Source, Pin 3 = Drain, Pin 4 = Gate. Bump-side mounting places active die face down for optimal thermal transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S) | Source terminal (bump) | Primary return path; dual-source bumps reduce current density and improve thermal spreading |
| 2 (S) | Source terminal (bump) | Redundant source connection lowers effective RDS(on) and improves current sharing |
| 3 (D) | Drain terminal (bump) | Main power input node; connects directly to battery or supply rail |
| 4 (G) | Gate terminal (bump) | Control input requiring <10 nC charge for full enhancement; compatible with 1.8 V–4.5 V logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® silicon process | Enables sub-0.1 Ω RDS(on) at -4.5 V gate drive while maintaining -20 V breakdown rating |
| Ultra-thin 0.548 mm profile | Permits integration beneath connectors or in stacked PCB assemblies where Z-height is constrained |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8461BB-T1-E3 | Same die, 3000-piece tape-and-reel (T1) vs. 10000-piece (T2); identical electrical specs and package | No functional difference; differs only in packaging format and reel size | Select T1 for prototyping or low-volume production; T2 for high-volume automated assembly |
| DMN2011LFG-7 | 0.095 Ω RDS(on) at -4.5 V but larger 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm package and 0.65 mm height | Higher thermal resistance (RthJA = 85 °C/W) limits power handling in dense layouts | Choose when slightly lower RDS(on) outweighs footprint and height constraints |
Compared with SI8461DB-T2-E1, Si8461BB-T1-E3 offers identical performance in smaller reels, while DMN2011LFG-7 trades 5% lower on-resistance for 156% larger footprint and 19% greater height - making SI8461DB-T2-E1 optimal for ultra-thin, area-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SI8461DB-T2-E1 at 70 °C ambient temperature?
The SI8461DB-T2-E1 supports -3.0 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C with full copper PCB layout. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by its RthJA = 55 °C/W and TJ(max) = 150 °C. At minimum copper, the rating drops to -1.9 A under the same condition - always verify layout-dependent thermal performance using the normalized transient impedance curves in the datasheet.
Does SI8461DB-T2-E1 require a gate resistor for reliable switching in a 3.3 V microcontroller-driven load switch?
No external gate resistor is required for basic on/off control of SI8461DB-T2-E1 with a 3.3 V GPIO, as its VGS(th) (-0.4 V to -1.0 V) ensures full enhancement. However, a 10 Ω series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and gate capacitance (Ciss = 610 pF), especially when driving at >100 kHz or in noise-sensitive environments.
Can SI8461DB-T2-E1 be used in place of an N-channel MOSFET in a high-side switch configuration?
Yes - SI8461DB-T2-E1 is specifically designed as a P-channel MOSFET for high-side switching, eliminating the need for a gate-boost circuit required by N-channel devices. Its -20 V VDS rating and -4.5 V optimized RDS(on) make it ideal for 3.3 V–12 V rail switching where simplicity and board area are prioritized over absolute lowest on-resistance.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SI8461DB-T2-E1 at -1 A, and how does it affect reverse-current protection?
The body diode forward voltage of SI8461DB-T2-E1 is -0.8 V (typical) at -1 A and 25 °C. This relatively low VSD enables effective reverse-current blocking in back-to-back configurations, but for stringent leakage requirements (<1 μA), a dedicated ideal diode controller or external Schottky may be needed - the SI8461DB-T2-E1 alone provides robust but not ultra-low-leakage protection.
Is SI8461DB-T2-E1 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - SI8461DB-T2-E1 is qualified for lead-free reflow with peak temperature up to 260 °C (IR/convection), meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The device must be stored per MSL-1 guidelines and processed without manual or hand soldering. Its MICRO FOOT® bump structure is designed for reliable solder joint formation under standard Pb-free thermal profiles.
