Product details
Overview
SIR164DP-T1-RE3 from Vishay is an N-channel 30 V (D-S) TrenchFET® Gen III power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, rated for 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, with RDS(on) of 2.5 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 3.2 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, optimized for ringing reduction in high-frequency DC/DC converters powering notebook CPU cores.
For engineers reviewing the SIR164DP-T1-RE3 datasheet, SIR164DP-T1-RE3 pinout, SIR164DP-T1-RE3 application, or SIR164DP-T1-RE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, 40.6 nC total gate charge, 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and compatibility with standard SO-8 land patterns while delivering DPAK-level thermal performance.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs TrenchFET® Gen III silicon technology to minimize switching losses and parasitic oscillation in synchronous buck converters. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 40.6 nC typ. at VGS = 4.5 V) and low Crss (460 pF) support fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off with reduced Miller-induced shoot-through risk.
The PowerPAK® SO-8 package features an exposed copper drain pad on the bottom side for direct thermal conduction to the PCB, achieving RthJC = 1.2 °C/W (max 1.8 °C/W), enabling high-current operation without external heatsinks when mounted on adequate copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V and 24 V input DC/DC stages. |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 10 V | 2.5 mΩ - Enables <1.25 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for high-efficiency CPU core supplies. |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 4.5 V | 3.2 mΩ - Ensures robust on-state performance with logic-level gate drivers common in notebook VRMs. |
| Qg typ. | 40.6 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and switching transition time in 300–1000 kHz applications. |
| ID continuous @ TC = 25 °C | 50 A - Confirmed package-limited current rating under heatsink-mounted conditions per datasheet note (e). |
| RthJC max | 1.8 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance defines maximum allowable power dissipation before exceeding TJ = 150 °C. |
| Crss | 460 pF - Reverse transfer capacitance directly impacts Miller plateau duration and gate drive stability during hard switching. |
Pinout & Package
PowerPAK® SO-8 is a leadless surface-mount package with 5 mm × 6.15 mm footprint, identical to standard SO-8 but with exposed drain copper on the bottom side for enhanced thermal conduction. It is RoHS-compliant, lead (Pb)-free, and halogen-free.
| 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 synchronous rectification. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Eight-terminal drain connection integrates into large bottom-side copper pad for minimal thermal resistance and high pulsed current handling (IDM = 70 A). |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Single gate terminal located at Pin 1 top-side position; requires <1 Ω series resistance to dampen ringing due to low Rg (0.2–1.6 Ω). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® Gen III silicon | Reduces switching ringing and EMI in high-frequency (>500 kHz) DC/DC converters without snubbers. |
| 100 % Rg and UIS tested | Ensures gate robustness against transient overvoltage and unclamped inductive switching stress in real-world VRM layouts. |
| PowerPAK® SO-8 package | Delivers DPAK-equivalent thermal performance (RthJC = 1.2 °C/W) in SO-8 footprint, enabling drop-in upgrade from legacy SO-8 MOSFETs. |
| Low Qgd / Qg ratio | Qgd = 15.4 nC / Qg = 40.6 nC ≈ 38 % - Minimizes Miller effect, improving controllability during turn-off in synchronous buck topologies. |
| Body diode trr | 31 ns typical - Fast reverse recovery supports efficient synchronous rectification and reduces cross-conduction loss. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiR170DP-T1-RE3 | Same PowerPAK® SO-8 package, 30 V, but higher RDS(on): 2.8 mΩ @ 10 V and 3.6 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 44.5 nC. | Slightly lower efficiency at high load; marginally slower switching due to higher Qg and Crss (490 pF). | Acceptable alternative where 0.3 mΩ RDS(on) penalty is tolerable and existing layout uses same footprint. |
| IRF7478PBF | Standard SO-8 package (not PowerPAK), 30 V, RDS(on) = 3.1 mΩ @ 10 V, RthJC = 16 °C/W, Qg = 32 nC. | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous current to ~22 A at TC = 25 °C; unsuitable for sustained 50 A operation. | Only viable for low-power or thermally relaxed designs; not a thermal or current-capability substitute. |
Compared with SiR170DP-T1-RE3, SIR164DP-T1-RE3 delivers lower conduction loss and faster switching; versus IRF7478PBF, it provides 13× better thermal resistance and 2.3× higher current capability in the same board area-making it essential for space-constrained, high-current VRMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIR164DP-T1-RE3 under standard PCB mounting conditions?
The SIR164DP-T1-RE3 is rated for 33.3 A continuous drain current at TA = 25 °C on a 1" × 1" FR4 board (note b), and 26.5 A at TA = 70 °C. These values reflect thermal limitations of the PCB environment-not the package limit. The 50 A rating applies only under case temperature-controlled conditions (TC = 25 °C) with heatsinking, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does SIR164DP-T1-RE3 support 4.5 V gate drive in synchronous buck applications?
Yes, SIR164DP-T1-RE3 is fully characterized for 4.5 V gate drive: RDS(on) is guaranteed ≤3.2 mΩ at ID = 10 A and VGS = 4.5 V, and total gate charge is 40.6 nC typ. This makes it compatible with standard 5 V logic-level PWM controllers used in notebook and server VRMs without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
How does the PowerPAK® SO-8 package of SIR164DP-T1-RE3 improve thermal performance compared to standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
The PowerPAK® SO-8 package of SIR164DP-T1-RE3 achieves RthJC = 1.2 °C/W (vs. ~16 °C/W for standard SO-8), due to its exposed copper drain pad directly bonded to PCB copper. This allows SIR164DP-T1-RE3 to dissipate 69 W at TC = 25 °C-enabling 50 A operation with minimal board-level thermal design overhead.
Is SIR164DP-T1-RE3 suitable for avalanche-rated applications such as active-clamp forward converters?
Yes, SIR164DP-T1-RE3 is 100 % UIS (unclamped inductive switching) tested with single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 80 mJ and peak current IAS = 40 A (L = 0.1 mH). This qualifies it for controlled avalanche operation in topologies like active-clamp forward, provided layout minimizes stray inductance and gate drive remains stable during recovery.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of SIR164DP-T1-RE3, and why does it matter in synchronous rectification?
The body diode trr of SIR164DP-T1-RE3 is 31 ns typ. (60 ns max) at IF = 10 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, TJ = 25 °C. This fast recovery minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 22 nC typ.), reducing cross-conduction loss and EMI during the dead-time interval in synchronous buck converters-directly improving light-load efficiency and thermal behavior.
