Product details
Overview
AO4629 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30V complementary N- and P-channel MOSFET pair in a single SOIC-8 package, delivering RDS(ON) of 30 mΩ (N-ch, VGS=10 V) and 41 mΩ (P-ch, VGS=−10 V), with 6 A/−5.5 A continuous drain current capability. It is engineered for low-input-voltage inverter topologies requiring matched switching characteristics and robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance.
For engineers reviewing the AO4629 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for synchronous buck converters, half-bridge motor drivers, and dual-rail load switches where complementary channel matching, low gate charge (Qg = 5.2 nC / 11 nC), and 100% UIS-tested reliability are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The AO4629 integrates trench-gate N- and P-channel MOSFETs on a shared die substrate, enabling tightly matched threshold voltages (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.4 V / −1.5–−2.5 V) and symmetrical dynamic parameters including Qgd/Qgs ratios and body diode recovery (trr = 8.5–12 ns / 11 ns). Its SOIC-8 leadframe supports dual-source/sink drive without external level-shifting.
Thermal design leverages separate junction-to-ambient thermal resistances (RθJA = 74 °C/W for N-ch, 90 °C/W for P-ch) and 100% Rg-tested gate resistance (1.6–4.9 Ω / 3.5–11.5 Ω), ensuring consistent turn-on/turn-off timing across production lots under 4.5 V logic-level drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V (N-ch) / −30 V (P-ch): Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V rail systems and automotive 12 V battery inputs. |
| ID (continuous) | 6 A (N-ch, TA=25°C) / −5.5 A (P-ch): Supports ≥5 A load switching in compact DC-DC and motor control PCB layouts. |
| RDS(ON) | <30 mΩ @ VGS=10 V (N-ch) / <41 mΩ @ VGS=−10 V (P-ch): Enables <180 mW conduction loss at 3 A, reducing thermal derating needs. |
| Qg | 5.2 nC (N-ch, 10 V) / 11 nC (P-ch, −10 V): Low total gate charge allows fast switching (>1 MHz) with minimal driver power consumption. |

Pinout & Package
AO4629 is housed in a standard SOIC-8 surface-mount package (5.0 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm), with exposed drain pads for both channels thermally connected to pins 1, 2, 3, 4 (N-ch D1) and pins 5, 6, 7, 8 (P-ch D2) - enabling dual-side heat dissipation when soldered to copper planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | N-channel drain (D1) | High-current output node for N-FET; electrically and thermally tied to internal die backside for low-inductance power routing. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | P-channel drain (D2) | High-current output node for P-FET; isolated from D1 but shares thermal path via common leadframe structure. |
| 1 | N-channel gate (G1) | Logic-level input for N-FET; requires 4.5–10 V drive; gate resistance tested 1.6–4.9 Ω for predictable slew rate. |
| 5 | P-channel gate (G2) | Logic-level input for P-FET; driven referenced to source (pin 6); gate resistance tested 3.5–11.5 Ω for matched turn-off delay. |
| 3 | N-channel source (S1) | Return path for N-FET; used as reference for G1 drive and current sensing; internally tied to pin 4. |
| 6 | P-channel source (S2) | Return path for P-FET; serves as high-side switch return or bootstrap capacitor reference; internally tied to pin 7. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7157DP | SO-8, 30 V, N+P, RDS(ON) = 28 mΩ/45 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 6.5 nC/12.5 nC; no 100% UIS test data published. | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; lacks documented UIS validation for inductive load cycling. | Prefer AO4629 where inductive surge immunity is mandatory; Si7157DP acceptable for resistive loads only. |
| DMC2038LSD | SO-8, 30 V, N+P, RDS(ON) = 32 mΩ/48 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 5.8 nC/10.2 nC; specified for −55 to +150 °C but no Rg test guarantee. | Marginally higher RDS(ON) raises conduction loss by ~12% at 5 A; no factory Rg binning for timing-critical bridges. | Choose AO4629 when precise gate timing and low-loss operation at 4.5 V drive are required; DMC2038LSD suits cost-sensitive non-timing-critical designs. |
Compared with Si7157DP and DMC2038LSD, AO4629 provides verified UIS ruggedness, tighter Rg control, and lower 4.5 V RDS(ON) - making it the preferred choice for motor drives and synchronous buck regulators demanding reliability under transient stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for each channel of the AO4629?
The AO4629 specifies 6 A continuous drain current for the N-channel device and −5.5 A for the P-channel device, both measured at TA = 25°C with SOIC-8 mounting on 1 in² FR-4 board (2 oz copper). Derating applies above 70°C ambient; full ratings require proper PCB thermal design using the exposed drain pads.
Does the AO4629 support 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
The AO4629 supports partial enhancement at 3.3 V, but its guaranteed RDS(ON) is specified only at VGS = ±4.5 V and ±10 V. At 3.3 V, the N-channel VGS(th) min is 1.2 V and P-channel min is −1.5 V, so turn-on occurs but RDS(ON) rises significantly - use 4.5 V or higher for reliable low-loss operation in the AO4629.
How is the thermal performance of the AO4629 characterized in SOIC-8?
The AO4629 has two distinct junction-to-ambient thermal resistances: 74 °C/W for the N-channel and 90 °C/W for the P-channel, measured per JEDEC standards on 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper. These values assume optimal PCB layout with thermal vias under the exposed drain pads; actual performance depends on user board design and airflow.
Is the AO4629 qualified for automotive applications?
The AO4629 is explicitly rated for consumer and industrial markets per its datasheet revision 2.1 (August 2023); it is not AEC-Q101 qualified and carries no automotive temperature or reliability certification. For automotive use, consult AOS's automotive-grade equivalents such as the AON6254 or AON6290 series instead of the AO4629.
What does "100% UIS tested" mean for the AO4629?
"100% UIS tested" means every AO4629 unit undergoes unclamped inductive switching stress at rated current and voltage, verifying minimum avalanche energy capability of 17 mJ (N-channel) and 14 mJ (P-channel). This ensures field reliability in inductive load circuits without requiring external snubbers or clamps.
