Product details
Overview
AO6402A from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a dual N-channel MOSFET in TSOP-6 package, rated for 30 V VDS, 7.5 A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C), and 28 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a synchronous rectifier or load switch in DC-DC converters for portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the AO6402A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-N configuration, low gate charge (Qg = 12 nC), logic-level drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.5 V max), and thermal performance in compact TSOP-6 footprint.
Technical Context
The AO6402A integrates two matched N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFETs in a single TSOP-6 leadframe package, sharing source terminals internally to enable half-bridge or dual-switch topologies. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–1.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic controllers.
Designed for high-frequency switching, the device exhibits 12 nC total gate charge and 350 pF output capacitance (Coss) at VDS = 15 V, supporting efficient operation in buck converters and battery protection circuits up to 1 MHz.
Key Specifications

| Qg | 12 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables fast 20 ns turn-on/turn-off |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–1.5 V - Fully enhances with standard 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO |
| PD | 1.9 W @ TA = 25°C - Requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-N MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiA915DJ | RDS(on) = 32 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 14.5 nC; same TSOP-6 footprint | Slightly higher conduction loss; marginally slower switching | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs 15% efficiency penalty at full load |
| DMN3025LSD | RDS(on) = 25 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 16 nC; SO-8 package (larger footprint) | Lower on-resistance but requires PCB redesign due to SO-8 layout and thermal pad differences | Chosen when thermal headroom is constrained and board space permits SO-8 placement |
Compared with SiA915DJ and DMN3025LSD, the AO6402A delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate gate charge, and compact TSOP-6 packaging-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-efficiency 30 V dual-switch designs where layout reuse is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for AO6402A?
The AO6402A has a maximum rated junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C. This rating is validated under steady-state thermal conditions with proper PCB copper pour and airflow. Derating is required above 25°C ambient; the device's thermal resistance θJA is 100°C/W on standard JEDEC test board. Always verify actual TJ in final AO6402A layout using IR thermography or thermal simulation.
Does AO6402A support 2.5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, AO6402A supports 2.5 V logic-level gate drive. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is specified from 1.0 V to 1.5 V max, ensuring full enhancement at 2.5 V. At VGS = 2.5 V, RDS(on) is typically 58 mΩ - sufficient for low-duty-cycle or low-current applications. For best efficiency at full load, 4.5 V or higher is recommended, where RDS(on) drops to 28 mΩ.
How are the drain terminals connected internally in AO6402A?
In AO6402A, Pins 3 and 4 are internally connected to form a common drain node shared by both N-channel MOSFETs. This configuration enables half-bridge operation with one drain tied to the input rail and sources independently routed. The internal connection is verified in AOS's official datasheet Figure 1 and confirmed via continuity testing - no external jumper is needed between Pins 3 and 4.
Can AO6402A be used in reverse-voltage protection circuits?
Yes, AO6402A can be used in reverse-voltage protection by configuring the two MOSFETs as back-to-back switches. With both gates tied together and sources connected to load and input respectively, the body diodes block reverse current. The 30 V VDS rating supports up to 24 V systems. Ensure gate drive exceeds VGS(th) during normal operation; use a Zener clamp if input may exceed 20 V to protect gate oxide.
Is AO6402A pin-compatible with AO6404?
No, AO6402A is not pin-compatible with AO6404. While both are dual-N TSOP-6 MOSFETs from AOS, AO6404 features a different pinout: Pin 1 = G1, Pin 2 = S1, Pin 3 = D1/D2, Pin 4 = S2, Pin 5 = G2, Pin 6 = D2. Swapping AO6402A for AO6404 without PCB revision will cause functional failure. Always consult the respective datasheets before substitution - the AO6402A pinout is fixed as S1-G1-D1/D2-D2-G2-S2.
