Product details
Overview
AO4292E from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 100V, 8A N-channel MOSFET in SOIC-8 package, featuring RDS(ON) < 23 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and < 33 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, with 100% UIS and Rg tested, optimized for synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AO4292E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its low gate charge (Qg(10V) = 25 nC), fast switching (tr = 3 ns, tf = 3 ns), HBM Class 2 ESD rating, avalanche energy rating (EAS = 10 mJ), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W).
Technical Context
The AO4292E employs Trench Power MV MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(ON) and low gate charge, enabling high-efficiency operation in hard-switched topologies. Its body diode exhibits VSD = 0.72 V (typ) at IS = 1 A and Qrr = 80 nC under IF = 8 A, dI/dt = 500 A/ms conditions.
Designed for fast-switching applications, it supports gate drive voltages from 4.5 V to 10 V, delivers gFS = 30 S (typ), and maintains stable RDS(ON) across junction temperatures up to 150 °C - validated by normalized on-resistance vs. temperature curves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports input rails up to 80 V DC in buck, flyback, and half-bridge topologies without derating. |
| ID (VGS = 10 V) | 8 A - continuous conduction capability at TA = 70 °C with SOIC-8 board layout per JEDEC standards. |
| RDS(ON) (VGS = 10 V) | < 23 mΩ - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 8 A, critical for high-current synchronous rectifiers. |
| Qg(10V) | 25 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching with standard 3–5 V logic-level drivers. |
| EAS | 10 mJ - ensures robustness against unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive and converter circuits. |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - defines thermal limit of 100 W max dissipation at TA = 25 °C, assuming 1 in² 2 oz copper FR-4 PCB. |
| tr/tf | 3 ns / 3 ns - minimizes switching transition time, reducing overlap losses in synchronous rectification stages. |
Pinout & Package
AO4292E is housed in a standard SOIC-8 (SO-8) surface-mount package with exposed drain pads on pins 1–4 and 6–8, source on pins 5 and 7, and gate on pin 3 - confirmed via manufacturer top/bottom view diagrams and thermal pad configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; pins 1–4 and 6–8 are internally paralleled for low-inductance, high-current path to heatsink via PCB copper. |
| 5,7 | Source (S) | Power return path; pin 5 and pin 7 are common-source terminals tied to ground plane for minimal loop inductance. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input; isolated from drain/source by oxide layer; requires ≤ ±20 V gate drive with 1.6–2.7 V threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Power MV MOSFET architecture | Enables 100 V breakdown with sub-25 mΩ RDS(ON), balancing voltage rating and conduction efficiency. |
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy handling up to 10 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive loads. |
| Low Qg(4.5V) = 14 nC (max) | Supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers and gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| HBM Class 2 ESD protection | Withstands ≥2 kV human-body-model discharge - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in automated assembly lines. |
| RoHS and Halogen-Free compliant | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU Directive 2015/863 for restricted substances. |
Applications
| Server VRM Synchronous Rectifier | Industrial DC/DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-density 12 V → 1.2 V point-of-load conversion in data center servers using multiphase buck regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diodes to reduce conduction loss and improve efficiency above 90%. Use Value: Sub-23 mΩ RDS(ON) cuts rectifier loss by >60% vs. 40 V Schottky, directly improving thermal margin and power density. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in forward or LLC resonant converters operating at 200–500 kHz. Use Value: Fast 3 ns rise/fall times minimize dead-time losses; Qrr = 80 nC ensures clean body-diode commutation during ZVS transitions. |
| Brushless DC Motor Drive | AC/DC Adapter Primary-Side Switch |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in 24–48 V BLDC motor controllers for HVAC blowers and industrial fans. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side switching element in 3-phase inverter stage, driven by gate driver IC. Use Value: 100% Rg tested ensures consistent gate resistance (0.5–1.5 Ω), enabling predictable turn-on/turn-off timing and reduced shoot-through risk. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 65 W universal-input AC/DC adapters using QR flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch subjected to repetitive 100 V drain spikes during demagnetization. Use Value: 100 V BVDSS with 10 mJ EAS withstands transient overvoltage without clamping, simplifying transformer design and reducing component count. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP040N10N5 | RDS(ON) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V (lower), but in TO-220 package - higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 62 °C/W on 1 in² board) and larger footprint. | Preferred for lower-power, cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where PCB space is not constrained and heatsinking is discrete. | Select IPP040N10N5 only when board area allows TO-220 mounting and thermal design accommodates higher RθJA. |
| Vishay SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(ON) = 24 mΩ @ 10 V (slightly higher), SO-8 package, Qg = 28 nC (higher), no 100% UIS test documented in datasheet. | Suitable for non-critical consumer DC/DC where avalanche ruggedness is not required and gate drive capability is ample. | Choose SI7850DP-T1-GE3 if AO4292E's UIS guarantee is unnecessary and minor efficiency trade-off is acceptable. |
Compared with IPP040N10N5 and SI7850DP-T1-GE3, the AO4292E uniquely combines SO-8 form factor, guaranteed UIS testing, and sub-25 mΩ RDS(ON) - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability synchronous rectification where board-level ruggedness and thermal performance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for AO4292E at 70°C ambient temperature?
The AO4292E supports 8 A continuous drain current at TA = 70 °C when mounted on a 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes steady-state thermal equilibrium and accounts for RθJA = 75 °C/W and TJ(MAX) = 150 °C. Derating applies beyond 70 °C ambient.
Does AO4292E have built-in ESD protection, and what level is specified?
Yes, the AO4292E features typical HBM Class 2 ESD protection, meaning it is rated to withstand ≥2 kV electrostatic discharge per the Human Body Model. This is verified during wafer sort and final test, enhancing robustness during PCB assembly and handling without requiring external protection components.
Can AO4292E be used with 4.5 V gate drive in logic-level applications?
Yes, the AO4292E is fully characterized at VGS = 4.5 V, delivering RDS(ON) < 33 mΩ and Qg(4.5V) ≤ 14 nC. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.6–2.7 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs, eliminating need for gate boosters in many low-voltage control systems.
Is AO4292E suitable for avalanche-prone circuits like motor drives?
Yes - the AO4292E is 100% UIS tested and rated for EAS = 10 mJ (L = 0.1 mH). This makes it appropriate for inductive load switching in BLDC motor half-bridges and other applications where unclamped inductive energy must be safely absorbed within the MOSFET itself.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for AO4292E under standard test conditions?
The AO4292E has RθJA = 75 °C/W when mounted on a 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper in still air at TA = 25 °C. This value is used to calculate maximum allowable power dissipation (PD = 100 W) and junction temperature rise. Actual RθJA in end equipment depends on PCB layout and airflow.
