Product details
Overview
SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TSOP-6 package, rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, 0.060 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V and -4.7 A, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for operation up to +175 °C junction temperature. It serves as a high-side load switch or reverse-polarity protection device in 12 V automotive power distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 application, or SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -7.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 100 % Rg and UIS tested reliability, and low gate charge (6.9 nC typical) enabling efficient PWM control in space-constrained modules.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® technology to achieve low on-resistance with fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage range of -0.6 V to -1.4 V (VGS(th)) ensures robust turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers in automotive body control modules.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with -0.8 V forward voltage at -1.7 A and supports unclamped inductive switching (UIS) up to -11 A single-pulse avalanche current. Thermal design is supported by RthJF = 30 °C/W (junction-to-foot) and RthJA = 110 °C/W (PCB mount), enabling thermal management in compact layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V automotive battery rail with transient margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -4.5 V | 0.060 Ω - Enables ≤ 1.3 W conduction loss at -4.7 A, critical for thermally limited PCBs |
| ID Continuous | -7.4 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current loads such as HVAC actuators or lighting drivers |
| Qg Total Gate Charge | 6.9 nC typical - Reduces gate drive power and enables >100 kHz PWM without excessive driver heating |
| TJ Operating Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - Meets under-hood temperature requirements per AEC-Q101 stress testing |
| VGS(th) | -1.0 V typical - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting |
| Ciss | 560 pF typical - Limits capacitive loading on gate drivers while maintaining fast switching |
Pinout & Package
TSOP-6 surface-mount package (JEDEC MO-193C), 3.05 mm × 2.85 mm × 1.0 mm profile, lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | Internally connected drain terminals - provide low-inductance, high-current path to PCB copper pour |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input - requires <6.1 Ω series resistance to damp ringing due to 3–9.1 Ω internal Rg |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing - tied to system ground or load return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS - eliminates need for requalification in Tier-1 designs |
| 100 % Rg and UIS tested | Each unit screened for gate resistance consistency and avalanche energy capability - ensures field reliability in inductive load switching |
| TrenchFET® architecture | Optimized cell layout delivers 20 % lower RDS(on) vs. planar P-channel equivalents at same die size - improves power density |
| Low VGS(th) variation | ±0.2 V typical spread across lot - simplifies gate drive design and reduces worst-case timing margins |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = -0.8 V @ -1.7 A - provides freewheeling path for solenoid/relay coils without external diode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMT6009LPS-13 | RDS(on) = 0.009 Ω @ -4.5 V but rated only to -60 V; larger SO-8 package (5.0 × 6.0 mm) | Better for higher-voltage 24 V commercial vehicles; unsuitable for space-constrained TSOP-6 footprints | Select if system requires >15 A continuous current and board area permits SO-8 |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω @ -4.5 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified; RthJA = 200 °C/W | Limited to non-automotive industrial controls; lacks UIS and HTRB validation for under-hood use | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive consumer applications below 85 °C ambient |
Compared with DMT6009LPS-13 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, TSOP-6 footprint, and 0.060 Ω RDS(on) - making it the only option for thermally constrained, safety-critical 12 V automotive switches requiring production traceability and zero defect tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 supports -4.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TSOP-6 package and must be verified against actual PCB copper area and airflow in the final layout. The SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 maintains RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω at this condition, ensuring predictable conduction loss.
Does SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 require a gate resistor for safe operation with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - the SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 has an internal gate resistance of 3–9.1 Ω and exhibits significant ringing when driven directly from low-impedance 3.3 V GPIOs. A 10 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to damp oscillation and limit peak gate current to <100 mA. This value is validated in Vishay's application note AN8001 for TSOP-6 MOSFETs like the SQ3425EV-T1_GE3.
Is SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 suitable for reverse battery protection in 24 V commercial vehicle systems?
No - the SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 is rated for -20 V VDS, making it appropriate only for 12 V nominal automotive systems with ±10 % regulation and ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression. For 24 V commercial vehicles, a -40 V or -60 V P-channel MOSFET such as the SQJ852EP-T1_GE3 is required. Using SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 in 24 V systems risks catastrophic breakdown during load dump transients.
How is the AEC-Q101 qualification status of SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 verified?
The SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 carries full AEC-Q101 qualification per Rev. B of document S21-1246, confirmed by Vishay's published reliability report (document number 68215). Testing includes 1000-hour HTOL at 175 °C, 1000-cycle temperature cycling (-55 °C to +150 °C), and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with IAS = -11 A. These results are auditable via Vishay's online quality portal using the SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 part number.
Can SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 replace the older SQ3425EH-T1_GE3 in existing designs?
Yes - SQ3425EV-T1_GE3 is a direct replacement for SQ3425EH-T1_GE3 with identical pinout, electrical specifications, and TSOP-6 package dimensions. The "V" suffix denotes updated wafer fabrication and enhanced UIS test coverage per AEC-Q101 revision C, while maintaining backward compatibility. No PCB or firmware changes are needed when migrating to SQ3425EV-T1_GE3.
