Product details
Overview
SIR878DP-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 100 V TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAK® SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 14 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 40 A continuous drain current (TC = 25 °C), and 13.6 nC total gate charge - optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC primary-side switching in telecom/server 48 V full/half-bridge converters.
For engineers reviewing the SIR878DP-T1-GE3 datasheet, SIR878DP-T1-GE3 pinout, SIR878DP-T1-GE3 application, or SIR878DP-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 100 V VDS, low RDS(on) at 4.5 V–10 V drive, thermal resistance RthJC = 2.1 °C/W, and halogen-free/RoHS-compliant construction per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance with fast switching dynamics: typical Ciss = 1250 pF, Coss = 680 pF, and Qgd = 6.4 nC enable efficient hard-switching operation up to several hundred kHz. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.8 V) supports robust 4.5 V logic-level drive while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates 100 % Rg and UIS testing per production lot, and its PowerPAK® SO-8 leadless package features exposed copper drain pads for low-inductance, high-current PCB mounting - with validated thermal performance up to TJ = 150 °C and RthJA ≤ 25 °C/W on 1" × 1" FR4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports primary-side switching in 48 V telecom/server DC/DC converters with 2× input margin and transient headroom. |
| RDS(on) | 0.014 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 10 A, critical for high-density power stages. |
| ID (cont.) | 40 A @ TC = 25 °C - rated for high-current half-bridge legs without forced air or heatsink under moderate ambient. |
| Qg | 13.6 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - ensures fast turn-on with standard gate drivers, reducing switching losses below 200 ns. |
| RthJC | 2.1 °C/W (typ.) - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink, supporting >28 W steady-state dissipation. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.8 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V control logic while avoiding spurious turn-on during noise transients. |
| EAS | 20 mJ - withstands single-pulse avalanche energy events common in inductive load switching or fault conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 100 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF540NPBF | RDS(on) = 44 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220 package; RthJC = 1.5 °C/W but larger footprint and higher parasitic inductance. | Lower switching frequency suitability (<100 kHz); requires heatsink for >15 A continuous operation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs board space and efficiency; not suitable for dense, high-frequency telecom designs. |
| IXTP1R1N100D2 | RDS(on) = 1.1 Ω @ 10 V; TO-220FP package; higher voltage rating (1000 V) but 78× higher on-resistance. | Designed for HV flyback snubber or PFC hold-up, not primary-side switching. | Only consider for ultra-high-voltage niche cases; unsuitable as functional alternative due to order-of-magnitude RDS(on) mismatch. |
Compared with IRF540NPBF and IXTP1R1N100D2, the SIR878DP-T1-GE3 delivers superior power density and efficiency in 100–500 kHz telecom/server DC/DC topologies due to its 14 mΩ RDS(on), 13.6 nC Qg, and thermally optimized PowerPAK® SO-8 package - making it the preferred choice where layout area, thermal management, and switching loss are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIR878DP-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 supports 32 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the PowerPAK® SO-8 package under sustained high-power operation and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow in the end application. The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 datasheet confirms this value with test condition notes referencing junction-to-case thermal resistance.
Does SIR878DP-T1-GE3 support 4.5 V gate drive for full enhancement?
Yes, the SIR878DP-T1-GE3 is fully characterized down to 4.5 V gate drive: RDS(on) = 0.019 Ω (max) at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 10 A, confirming reliable enhancement with standard 5 V logic or buck-derived gate supplies. The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 gate threshold voltage range (1.2–2.8 V) provides sufficient margin to avoid partial turn-on during noise transients while ensuring full conduction at 4.5 V.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of SIR878DP-T1-GE3, and how does it impact synchronous rectification?
The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 body diode exhibits trr = 45–90 ns at IF = 10 A, dI/dt = 100 A/µs, and TJ = 25 °C. This fast recovery minimizes reverse recovery loss and voltage overshoot during hard-commutation in synchronous rectifier configurations. The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 Qrr of 50–100 nC further supports low-loss operation when used in complementary high-side/low-side pairs.
Is SIR878DP-T1-GE3 qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes, the SIR878DP-T1-GE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow with peak temperature up to 260 °C, as documented in the Soldering Recommendations section. The PowerPAK® SO-8 package uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), eliminating bake requirements. The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 datasheet explicitly references www.vishay.com/doc?73257 for the full solder profile.
How does the thermal resistance RthJC of SIR878DP-T1-GE3 compare to standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 achieves RthJC = 2.1 °C/W (typ.), significantly lower than conventional SO-8 MOSFETs (typically 3.5–6.0 °C/W), due to its leadless PowerPAK® construction with direct copper drain pads. This 40–65 % improvement enables higher power dissipation without external heatsinks. The SIR878DP-T1-GE3 thermal data is validated per JEDEC 51-14 standards and confirmed in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table.
