Product details
Overview
SIR472DP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30-V (D-S) TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, optimized for high-side synchronous rectifier operation in notebook CPU core power stages. It delivers RDS(on) = 0.012 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 6.8 nC total gate charge, and 20 A continuous drain current (TJ = 150 °C, package-limited), enabling high-efficiency DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the SIR472DP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SIR472DP-T1-GE3 pinout, SIR472DP-T1-GE3 application, or SIR472DP-T1-GE3 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, thermal performance data, validated alternative options, and design-critical package interface details for notebook VRM and point-of-load regulator integration.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology with halogen-free construction and is 100 % Rg and UIS tested. Its low 3.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and exposed-drain PowerPAK® SO-8 footprint enable direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, supporting high-current, high-frequency switching in compact form factors.
The device features a gate threshold voltage of 1.2–2.5 V, body diode reverse recovery time of 15–30 ns (IF = 11 A, dI/dt = 100 A/µs), and dynamic parameters including Ciss = 820 pF and Qgd = 2.3 nC - all specified at VDS = 15 V - making it suitable for synchronous buck topologies requiring fast turn-on/turn-off control and low conduction loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 5 V and 12 V input rails in notebook CPU core supplies. |
| RDS(on) | 0.012 Ω at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 10 A, critical for thermally constrained mobile VRMs. |
| Qg | 6.8 nC at VGS = 5 V - Low gate charge supports efficient drive from standard PWM controllers without external gate drivers. |
| ID (continuous) | 20 A at TC = 25 °C - Package-limited rating ensures safe operation under high-current transient loads typical in CPU load-line regulation. |
| RthJC | 3.5 °C/W (typical) - Enables direct heat transfer from die to PCB, reducing junction temperature rise by ~40 °C vs. standard SO-8 in identical layouts. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.5 V - Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V gate drive, ensuring reliable enhancement-mode turn-on in high-side configurations. |
| trr | 15–30 ns - Fast body diode recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and reduces switching losses during dead-time intervals. |
Pinout & Package
PowerPAK® SO-8 is a leadless surface-mount package with same 6.15 mm × 5.15 mm footprint and pinout as standard SO-8, but with exposed drain pad on bottom for enhanced thermal conduction. Height is 1.07 mm - ideal for ultra-thin notebook designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 (Drain) | Drain (D) | Seven pins tied internally to large exposed copper drain pad - primary thermal path and high-current output node in high-side switch configuration. |
| 6 (Source) | Source (S) | Single-source terminal - connects to power ground plane; defines reference for gate drive and current sensing in synchronous rectifier mode. |
| 3 (Gate) | Gate (G) | Control input - requires low-impedance drive due to 0.36–3.6 Ω gate resistance; layout must minimize inductance to suppress ringing during 8–24 ns turn-on delay. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIR472DP-T1-GE3?
The SIR472DP-T1-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 20 A at TC = 25 °C and 11 A at TC = 70 °C, limited by package thermal capacity. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Document #68897, Rev. C) and applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB copper area per Application Note AN821.
Does SIR472DP-T1-GE3 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SIR472DP-T1-GE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow with a peak temperature of 260 °C (per JEDEC J-STD-020D). The device meets Vishay's Pb-free and halogen-free specifications, and its PowerPAK® SO-8 package is designed for compatibility with standard reflow profiles including ramp-up ≤3 °C/s and time above 217 °C of 60–150 s.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIR472DP-T1-GE3?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIR472DP-T1-GE3 is specified as 1.2 V (minimum) to 2.5 V (maximum) at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity in high-speed digital environments typical of notebook VRMs.
How does the thermal performance of SIR472DP-T1-GE3 compare to standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
SIR472DP-T1-GE3 achieves a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 3.5 °C/W - approximately 4.5× better than standard SO-8 packages (~16 °C/W). This is enabled by its exposed-drain PowerPAK® SO-8 construction, which allows direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, reducing junction temperature rise by up to 43 °C under identical 2.7 W dissipation conditions.
Is SIR472DP-T1-GE3 suitable for high-side synchronous rectifier applications?
Yes, SIR472DP-T1-GE3 is explicitly optimized for high-side synchronous rectifier operation, as stated in its official features list and product summary. Its low Qgd/Qg ratio, fast body diode recovery (trr = 15–30 ns), and 100 % UIS testing make it well-suited for high-frequency buck converters in notebook CPU core power stages where precise timing and avalanche robustness are essential.
