Product details
Overview
SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 30 V (D-S) TrenchFET® Gen IV power MOSFET in a PowerPAK® 1212-8PT package, delivering RDS(on) = 6.83 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 10.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, with 60 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, optimized for high-efficiency synchronous rectification and DC/DC load switching.
For engineers reviewing the SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 datasheet, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 pinout, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 application, or SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (Qg = 6.2 nC at 4.5 V), robust avalanche rating (EAS = 6 mJ), and thermal performance (RthJC = 2.7 °C/W), critical for compact, high-current power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-based silicon structure enabling high cell density and low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching via low Ciss (680 pF) and Crss/Ciss ratio (0.08–0.16). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.4 V) supports 4.5 V logic-level drive compatibility.
The device integrates a body diode with VSD = 0.8–1.1 V at IS = 5 A and trr = 15–30 ns, enabling efficient reverse recovery in synchronous buck topologies. Thermal design leverages the exposed-drain PowerPAK 1212-8PT package with direct case-to-heatsink conduction path.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V input rail applications with margin |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 6.83 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A in high-current load switches |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 10.5 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement with standard 5 V microcontroller GPIOs |
| Qg | 6.2 nC @ 4.5 V - Reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching in DC/DC converters |
| ID (continuous) | 60 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current POL modules without forced air cooling |
| EAS | 6 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy during hard-switching transitions |
| RthJC | 2.7 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to copper heatsink for thermal management in space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
PowerPAK® 1212-8PT is a leadless, surface-mount package with an exposed drain pad on the bottom side for thermal and electrical connection. Dimensions: 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm × 0.75 mm. The package uses copper substrate construction with no plating on the singulated edge of the drain terminal.

|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Source | Four parallel source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt operation |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain | Four exposed drain terminals connect directly to PCB copper pour for minimal RDS(on) and thermal resistance |
| G | Gate | Single gate pad located adjacent to source terminals to minimize gate loop inductance |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiRA18DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 7.0 mΩ @ 10 V; slightly higher Qg (7.1 nC); same PowerPAK 1212-8PT package | Identical pinout and thermal profile; marginally higher switching loss in >500 kHz designs | Preferred when second-source qualification requires identical footprint and qualification history |
| IRL8721PBF | RDS(on) = 7.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; TO-220AB package; higher RthJA (62 °C/W) | Requires heatsink and larger board area; unsuitable for ultra-thin or high-density layouts | Select only if legacy TO-220 layout reuse is mandatory and thermal budget allows |
Compared with SiRA18DP-T1-GE3, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 offers lower gate charge for faster turn-on and reduced driver loss; versus IRL8721PBF, it delivers 4× better thermal resistance and 30% smaller footprint-critical for modern high-power-density systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 supports 48 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the PowerPAK 1212-8PT package and must be validated against actual board-level thermal performance using the provided RthJC = 2.7 °C/W value. Designers should confirm junction temperature remains ≤150 °C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Does SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 require a gate resistor for stable operation in synchronous buck converters?
Yes, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 benefits from an external gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching transitions. The datasheet specifies gate resistance Rg = 0.3–3 Ω (typical 1.5 Ω), and test conditions for switching times assume Rg = 1 Ω. Omitting this resistor may cause overshoot, shoot-through risk, or EMI issues-especially at >1 MHz switching frequencies.
Can SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 be used in a back-to-back configuration for OR-ing applications?
Yes, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 is suitable for back-to-back N-channel MOSFET OR-ing due to its symmetric VGS rating (±16 V), low RDS(on), and robust body diode. In such configurations, both devices conduct in the forward direction while blocking reverse current. The 30 V VDS rating supports 24 V systems with safety margin, and the 100% UIS testing ensures reliability during transient fault events.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 at 5 A and 25 °C?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 is specified as 0.8–1.1 V at IS = 5 A and TJ = 25 °C. This low VSD reduces conduction loss during dead-time conduction in synchronous rectifiers and improves efficiency in half-bridge freewheeling paths. At elevated temperatures, VSD decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient.
Is SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes, SISA18BDN-T1-GE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The PowerPAK 1212-8PT package is designed for standard Pb-free thermal profiles; however, manual soldering with an iron is not recommended due to thermal mass and leadless construction. Reflow profile compliance is documented in Vishay document 73257.
