Product details
Overview
SUM50P10-42-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for -100 V drain-source voltage, with RDS(on) of 0.042 Ω at VGS = -10 V and -36 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It is optimized for high-efficiency load switching and ORing applications in industrial power supplies and telecom DC/DC modules.
For engineers reviewing the SUM50P10-42-E3 datasheet, SUM50P10-42-E3 pinout, SUM50P10-42-E3 application, or SUM50P10-42-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -100 V VDS, low gate charge (54 nC at VGS = -4.5 V), 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant TO-263 (D2PAK) package, and verified avalanche energy rating of 80 mJ.
Technical Context
This device employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage range (-1 V to -3 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers, while the 4600 pF input capacitance and 175 pF reverse transfer capacitance support stable operation in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits 60–90 ns reverse recovery time and 150–225 nC reverse recovery charge, enabling use in synchronous rectification and bidirectional power flow circuits where diode conduction is unavoidable. Thermal design is facilitated by direct case mounting and a low RthJC of 1.2 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -100 V - supports 48 V and 60 V bus systems with ≥2× voltage margin against transients |
| RDS(on) max | 0.042 Ω at VGS = -10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 14 A continuous current |
| ID continuous | -36 A at TC = 25 °C - delivers high current density in surface-mount TO-263 footprint |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPbF | RDS(on) = 0.2 Ω @ VGS = -10 V; slower Qg = 120 nC; TO-220 package | Higher conduction loss; unsuitable for high-frequency or space-constrained designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and layout density requirements |
| SiHP22N100CL | N-channel 100 V, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω @ VGS = -10 V; requires high-side gate driver | Needs bootstrap or isolated gate drive; not a direct replacement in high-side switch topology | Consider only if redesigning gate drive circuitry to leverage N-channel's lower RDS(on) |
Compared with IRF9540NPbF and SiHP22N100CL, SUM50P10-42-E3 offers superior power density and gate drive simplicity for high-side P-channel switching, delivering 4.8× lower RDS(on) than IRF9540NPbF and eliminating gate driver complexity required by SiHP22N100CL.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SUM50P10-42-E3 at 70 °C case temperature?
The SUM50P10-42-E3 supports -30 A continuous drain current at TC = 70 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating from -36 A at 25 °C reflects thermal limitations of the TO-263 package under elevated ambient or board temperature conditions. Designers must verify PCB copper area and airflow to sustain this current without exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
Does SUM50P10-42-E3 require a negative gate drive voltage to operate?
Yes, SUM50P10-42-E3 is a P-channel MOSFET and requires VGS ≤ -1 V (threshold) to turn on, with full enhancement achieved at VGS = -4.5 V or -10 V. Gate drive must reference the source node; for high-side switching, this typically means pulling the gate to ground while the source sits at positive rail voltage. No negative supply rail is needed if source is grounded.
Can SUM50P10-42-E3 be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
No - SUM50P10-42-E3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 80 mJ), not repetitive avalanche. The datasheet specifies this under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" with note "a. Pulse test; pulse width ≤ 300 µs, duty cycle ≤ 2 %." Repeated avalanche operation risks parametric shift or catastrophic failure; proper snubbing or clamping is required for inductive switching.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SUM50P10-42-E3 on a standard PCB?
The SUM50P10-42-E3 has RthJA = 40 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, as stated in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes minimal copper area; actual RthJA improves significantly with larger thermal pads and internal planes. For thermal design, junction temperature should be calculated using TJ = TA + PD × RthJA, where PD is total power dissipation.
Is SUM50P10-42-E3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a buck converter?
While SUM50P10-42-E3 features a low RDS(on) and fast switching (tf = 100–150 ns), it is not recommended for synchronous rectification in buck converters due to its P-channel topology. N-channel devices offer lower RDS(on) and better gate drive efficiency in low-side positions. SUM50P10-42-E3 is best applied in high-side load switches or ORing where P-channel simplifies gate drive.
