Product details
Overview
SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 150 V drain-source voltage, 25 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.052 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and TO-252 (DPAK) package with drain-connected tab-used in high-reliability DC-DC converters and motor control stages in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 datasheet, SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 pinout, SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 application, or SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 100% Rg and UIS tested reliability, 34 nC typical total gate charge, and compliance with automotive thermal cycling and humidity robustness requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance while maintaining rugged avalanche capability (EAS = 45 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage range (2.5–4.0 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide automotive supply variations, and the integrated body diode supports freewheeling in synchronous rectification topologies.
The device operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and is characterized for dynamic parameters-including 11 ns typical turn-on delay, 21 ns rise time, and 97 pF reverse transfer capacitance-at VDS = 75 V and ID = 25 A, enabling precise timing control in high-frequency PWM circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V and 12 V automotive battery architectures with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.052 Ω - Enables ≤13 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for thermally constrained under-hood modules. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 25 A - Supports high-current load switching without external heatsinking in PCB-mounted applications. |
| EAS | 45 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy during fault events in solenoid or motor drive circuits. |
| Qg (typ.) | 34 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; enables efficient 100–500 kHz switching with <1 W driver dissipation. |
| RthJC | 1.4 °C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink via drain-tab mounting, reducing system-level thermal resistance. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Meets under-hood ambient requirements per AEC-Q101, supporting operation near exhaust manifolds or turbochargers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252AA (DPAK), surface-mount, drain-connected metal tab for thermal and electrical connection. Dimensions per Vishay document 64424: 6.09 mm × 6.54 mm × 2.28 mm (L × W × H), with 2.28 mm lead pitch (e) and 4.56 mm center-to-center spacing (e1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires ≤±20 V rating; low 1.0 Ω max gate resistance minimizes ringing in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Pin 2 (Center) | Drain (D) | Main power output; internally connected to exposed copper tab-must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal and current handling. |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Source (S) | Power return path; referenced to gate drive ground; forms common node with body diode cathode for freewheeling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HAST, and mechanical shock-no derating required for passenger vehicle ECUs. |

| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers 25 % lower RDS(on) vs. planar MOSFETs at same die size-improves power density in space-constrained ADAS modules. |
| Low RthJC (1.4 °C/W) | Enables >70 % of rated power dissipation to be transferred directly to heatsink-eliminates need for thermal vias in many designs. |
| Body diode VSD (typ.) | 0.87 V at 20 A - Reduces freewheeling losses in buck converters versus discrete Schottky solutions. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Fuel Injector Driver | 48 V Mild Hybrid DC-DC Converter |

Use Value: RDS(on) drift limited to ≤2.6× from 25 °C to 175 °C (0.136 Ω max), ensuring predictable thermal rise and fan speed regulation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N15F7 | 150 V, 220 A pulsed, RDS(on) = 0.0027 Ω @ 10 V; TO-220FP package; higher current but larger footprint and no AEC-Q101 certification. | Targeted at industrial motor drives-not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity exposure. | Select when board space allows larger package and AEC-Q101 is not mandated; avoid for under-hood ECU use. |
| IRF3205PBF | 55 V, 110 A, RDS(on) = 0.008 Ω @ 10 V; TO-220; lacks 150 V rating and automotive qualification. | Suitable only for 12 V/24 V systems-cannot withstand 150 V load dump transients in 48 V architectures. | Use only in legacy 12 V chassis systems where voltage stress is below 60 V; not a functional replacement for SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3. |
Compared with STL220N15F7 and IRF3205PBF, SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 uniquely balances 150 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, TO-252 thermal performance, and 25 A continuous current-making it the only viable option for compact, high-temp automotive power stages requiring guaranteed reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 16 A at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-252 package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be accounted for in thermal design of SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3-based circuits.
Is SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V automotive DC-DC converter?
Yes, SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 is suitable for synchronous rectification due to its 0.052 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, 175 °C junction rating, and low Qgd/Qgs ratio (5.4 nC / 14.5 nC), which supports clean turn-off in high-frequency (≥200 kHz) topologies. Its body diode forward voltage of 0.87 V also minimizes dead-time conduction loss in SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3-based converters.
Does SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 have a fully rated avalanche energy specification?
Yes, SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 is fully specified for single-pulse avalanche with IAS = 30 A and EAS = 45 mJ at L = 0.1 mH, verified per JEDEC JESD24-1. This rating applies to inductive switching events such as fuel injector flyback or motor phase commutation, and is integral to SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3's AEC-Q101 qualification.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 is 2.5–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers while avoiding unintended conduction during cold-cranking (battery dip to 6 V). Drive circuits for SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 must supply ≥10 V to guarantee full enhancement and minimal RDS(on).
How does the thermal resistance of SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 compare between junction-to-case and junction-to-ambient configurations?
SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 has RthJC = 1.4 °C/W (junction-to-case) and RthJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB mount). The 35× difference confirms that effective heat extraction depends almost entirely on mounting the drain tab to an external heatsink or large copper area-board-only cooling yields insufficient thermal performance for full 25 A operation in SQD25N15-52-T4_GE3 applications.
