Product details
Overview
SIR408DP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 25-V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, delivering 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, RDS(on) of 6.3 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 8.0 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, with 9.3 nC total gate charge - optimized for high-side DC/DC converter switching in server power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SIR408DP-T1-GE3 pinout, SIR408DP-T1-GE3 application, or SIR408DP-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, 100 % UIS and Rg testing, halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction, and thermal resistance RthJC = 2.4 °C/W for high-efficiency POL designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with controlled Qgd/Qgs ratio. Its gate threshold voltage (1–2.5 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive compatibility while maintaining noise immunity under transient conditions.
The device integrates a body diode with 0.75–1.2 V forward voltage at 4 A and 26–50 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - supports input rails up to 24 V systems with margin for transients |
| RDS(on) | 6.3 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A in high-current POL stages |
| ID (Cont.) | 50 A @ TC = 25 °C - package-limited current rating for thermally anchored PCB layouts |
| Qg | 9.3 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - ensures fast turn-on with low driver power demand in 5 V control environments |
| RthJC | 2.4 °C/W - allows direct heatsink attachment to drain pad for >30 W steady-state dissipation |
| VGS(th) | 1–2.5 V - guarantees reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers |
| Ciss | 1230 pF @ VDS = 15 V - defines Miller capacitance impact on gate drive loop stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLHS6242PBF | RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ @ 10 V, but only 4.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 12.5 nC; same PowerSO-8 package | Lower RDS(on) at 4.5 V improves efficiency in 5 V gate-drive systems; higher Qg increases driver loss | Prefer when lowest possible 4.5 V on-resistance is critical and driver capability permits higher Qg |
| DMN3029LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 3.0 mΩ @ 10 V, 4.2 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 10.5 nC; SO-8 package with gull-wing leads | Lead-based SO-8 offers easier rework vs. leadless PowerPAK; slightly lower RDS(on) but larger footprint | Choose when manual rework or mixed-technology assembly is required, and space allows gull-wing layout |
Compared with IRLHS6242PBF and DMN3029LSD-13, the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 provides best-in-class thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.4 °C/W), halogen-free compliance, and validated UIS ruggedness - making it optimal for high-reliability server and telecom POL where thermal density and transient immunity are prioritized over marginal RDS(on) reduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIR408DP-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SIR408DP-T1-GE3 supports 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating is package-limited and assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal vias to maintain case temperature at or below 70 °C under steady-state operation.
Does SIR408DP-T1-GE3 require a gate resistor for safe operation in a 500 kHz buck converter?
Yes - the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 gate resistance is 0.8–1.6 Ω, but external gate resistance is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt. For 500 kHz operation, a 2–5 Ω series resistor balances switching speed and EMI; values depend on driver strength and layout parasitics per the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 application notes.
Is SIR408DP-T1-GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 12 V to 1.2 V buck converter?
Yes - the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 body diode has VSD = 0.75–1.2 V at 4 A and trr = 26–50 ns, enabling effective synchronous rectification. Its 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V ensures low conduction loss when used as low-side switch driven by dedicated gate control in SIR408DP-T1-GE3-based buck stages.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SIR408DP-T1-GE3 on a standard 1" x 1" FR4 board?
On a 1" x 1" FR4 board, the SIR408DP-T1-GE3 has RthJA = 21–26 °C/W (typical to maximum), per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; actual performance depends on copper area, thickness, and via count beneath the exposed drain pad.
Can SIR408DP-T1-GE3 be reworked using hot air without damage?
No - Vishay explicitly states that manual soldering with a soldering iron is not recommended for the PowerPAK® SO-8 package, and rework must follow JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and peak temperature profiles. The SIR408DP-T1-GE3 requires controlled hot-air reflow with preheat, soak, and ramp rates aligned to its MSL3 classification and 260 °C peak limit.
