Product details
Overview
AO6701 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30V P-Channel MOSFET with integrated Schottky diode in TSOP-6 package, featuring RDS(ON) < 135 mΩ at VGS = −10 V, −2.3 A continuous drain current, and bidirectional blocking capability for DC-DC conversion and load switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the AO6701 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its trench-based low-RDS(ON) performance, co-packaged Schottky diode enabling compact bidirectional switch designs, thermal resistance (RθJA = 109.4 °C/W, t ≤ 10 s), and gate charge (Qg = 4.9 nC) for efficient switching control.
Technical Context
The AO6701 integrates a P-Channel enhancement-mode MOSFET and a Schottky diode in a single TSOP-6 package, sharing source (S) and anode (A) terminals to enable synchronous rectification or reverse-polarity protection without external diodes. Its trench MOSFET architecture delivers low gate charge (Qg = 4.9 nC) and fast switching (tD(on) = 6.9 ns, tf = 13.2 ns).
Thermal design is supported by dual thermal paths: junction-to-lead (RθJL = 58.5 °C/W, steady-state) and junction-to-ambient (RθJA = 109.4 °C/W, t ≤ 10 s). The Schottky diode provides VF < 0.5 V at 0.5 A and ultrafast recovery (trr = 5.2 ns), critical for high-frequency DC-DC topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −30 V - Maximum drain-source voltage rating; defines safe operating range for negative-rail switching. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = −10 V | < 135 mΩ - Enables low conduction loss at full gate drive; supports ≥2.3 A continuous current with minimal I²R heating. |
| Qg | 4.9 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power requirement and enables high-frequency PWM operation. |
| VF @ IF = 0.5 A | < 0.5 V - Schottky forward drop minimizes conduction loss in freewheeling paths of buck or synchronous rectifier stages. |
| trr (Schottky) | 5.2 ns - Ultrafast reverse recovery eliminates switching loss and EMI in high-speed DC-DC converters. |
| RθJA (t ≤ 10 s) | 109.4 °C/W - Thermal resistance under pulsed conditions; informs short-duration power handling in transient loads. |
| ID (continuous) | −2.3 A @ TA = 25°C - Verified continuous current capability with standard PCB layout (1 in², 2 oz Cu). |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Controls MOSFET channel turn-on/off; requires −10 V for full enhancement; threshold VGS(th) = −0.6 to −1.4 V. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | High-side or low-side switched node; rated for −30 V breakdown; connects to input rail in high-side switch configurations. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Common reference for MOSFET and Schottky; tied to system ground or output rail depending on topology. |
| 4 (A) | Anode | Schottky anode terminal; internally connected to Source (S); used for reverse-current blocking or freewheeling path. |
| 5 (K) | Cathode | Schottky cathode terminal; provides low-VF path from K to A during reverse conduction; decouples MOSFET body diode limitations. |
| 6 (N/C) | No Connect | Unused internal pad; must remain unconnected per datasheet; no electrical function or thermal role. |

Use Value: RDS(ON) < 135 mΩ at −10 V ensures <0.3 W conduction loss at 2.3 A, reducing thermal stress in thin-profile handheld enclosures. |
| DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier | Reverse Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 5–12 V buck-derived supplies for FPGA or SoC core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: AO6701 replaces conventional Schottky diodes, with gate driven by transformer-coupled or controller-synchronized signal to minimize conduction loss. Use Value: VF < 0.5 V at 0.5 A and trr = 5.2 ns reduce switching loss and EMI compared to 0.7 V Si diodes, improving efficiency >2% at 1 MHz. | Use Scenario: Input protection for battery-powered systems where accidental reverse-battery connection must be blocked without voltage drop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: AO6701 configured as high-side P-channel switch with Schottky cathode grounded; blocks reverse current while allowing normal forward operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AO6701?
The AO6701 is rated for −2.3 A continuous drain current at TA = 25°C with standard PCB layout (1 in², 2 oz Cu). At elevated ambient temperatures (e.g., 70°C), derating applies per the datasheet's thermal curves; actual current depends on layout, airflow, and thermal interface. The AO6701 datasheet specifies −1.8 A at TA = 70°C under identical conditions.
Does the AO6701 require an external Schottky diode for synchronous rectification?
No-the AO6701 integrates a Schottky diode with VF < 0.5 V at 0.5 A and trr = 5.2 ns, eliminating the need for an external diode in synchronous rectifier or freewheeling applications. This integration reduces component count, PCB area, and parasitic inductance, directly improving efficiency and EMI performance in the AO6701-based design.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the AO6701?
The AO6701 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of −0.6 V to −1.4 V, measured at ID = −250 µA and TJ = 25°C. This low-threshold range allows reliable turn-on with logic-level gate drivers (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs), making the AO6701 suitable for low-voltage control interfaces without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the AO6701 be used in high-side switch configurations?
Yes-the AO6701 is a P-Channel MOSFET optimized for high-side switching, with VDS = −30 V and RDS(ON) < 135 mΩ at VGS = −10 V. Its TSOP-6 pinout (G, D, S, A, K, N/C) supports direct connection to positive rails, and the integrated Schottky enables clean reverse-current blocking. Proper gate drive referencing to the source is required for robust AO6701 operation.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the AO6701 under pulsed conditions?
The AO6701 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 109.4 °C/W for pulse widths ≤ 10 seconds, measured on a 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper in still air. This value is critical for calculating peak junction temperature during transient loads; for continuous operation, the steady-state RθJA is 136.5 °C/W, and the AO6701 datasheet provides normalized transient impedance curves for precise thermal modeling.
