Product details
Overview
AOD4286 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 100V N-Channel Trench MOSFET optimized for high-frequency switching, with RDS(ON) < 68 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 14 A continuous drain current, and 100% UIS-tested ruggedness-used in synchronous rectifiers and boost converters for telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AOD4286 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its trench-based low-RDS(ON)/low-Ciss trade-off, TO-252 (DPAK) thermal performance, and body diode recovery characteristics critical for hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
The AOD4286 employs trench-gate silicon MOSFET technology to simultaneously minimize conduction loss (via sub-68 mΩ RDS(ON)) and switching loss (via 390 pF Ciss, 3 pF Crss, and 5.8 nC Qg at 10 V). Its 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing ensures reliability under transient overcurrent stress.
Thermal design leverages a junction-to-case resistance of 5 °C/W and supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. The device's gate threshold voltage (1.7–2.9 V) and low 2.8 nC Qg at 4.5 V enable robust drive compatibility with standard logic-level controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - Maximum blocking voltage for primary-side switch or synchronous rectifier in 48 V input systems. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS=10 V | < 68 mΩ - Enables ≤1.0 W conduction loss at 14 A DC, suitable for high-efficiency 100–200 W converters. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS=4.5 V | < 92 mΩ - Ensures usable on-resistance with 3.3 V or 5 V gate drivers without level-shifting. |
| Qg @ 10 V | 5.8–10 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power loss and enables >500 kHz switching in hard-switched designs. |
| Ciss | 390 pF - Low input capacitance minimizes Miller-induced turn-on risk and eases gate drive design. |
| EAS | 104 mJ - Confirmed avalanche energy rating supports reliable operation during inductive transients without snubbers. |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Extended junction temperature allows higher power density in constrained thermal environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252 (DPAK), surface-mount, single-die N-Channel MOSFET with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; low 7 Ω gate resistance and 2.8 nC Qg(4.5 V) support fast, low-loss switching. |
| D (Drain) | High-side current path | Connected to high-voltage node; electrically tied to exposed pad for low-inductance, high-current return path and thermal conduction. |
| S (Source) | Reference/return node | Common reference for gate drive and load current; body diode anode, enabling synchronous rectification capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers <68 mΩ RDS(ON) and 390 pF Ciss simultaneously-enabling high efficiency at >300 kHz in compact power stages. |
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees minimum 104 mJ avalanche energy (TJ = 125 °C), eliminating need for external clamping in boost or flyback primary switches. |
| Low Qg/Qgd ratio | Qgd = 1.2 nC / Qg(10 V) ≈ 12% - Reduces Miller plateau duration and improves immunity to dv/dt-induced false turn-on. |
| Enhanced body diode | VSD = 0.76–1.0 V @ 1 A, trr = 15 ns - Enables efficient synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters without external Schottky replacement. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-Channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP110N10F7 | 100 V, 110 A, RDS(ON) = 7.5 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220 package; higher current, larger footprint, higher Qg (70 nC). | Better suited for high-current linear or low-frequency switching; not optimal for >200 kHz due to gate charge. | Select when board space permits TO-220 and peak current exceeds 30 A; avoid for compact high-frequency SMPS. |
| IRF540NPBF | 100 V, 33 A, RDS(ON) = 44 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220; older planar process; no UIS rating specified. | Lacks guaranteed avalanche ruggedness and has higher Ciss (950 pF); less stable under hard-switched transients. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-critical 50–100 kHz applications where layout includes snubbers and thermal margin exists. |
Compared with STP110N10F7 and IRF540NPBF, the AOD4286 provides superior high-frequency efficiency via lower Qg/Ciss, verified UIS robustness for unclamped inductive loads, and TO-252 thermal performance ideal for space-constrained 100–200 W power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AOD4286 at 100°C case temperature?
The AOD4286 supports 10 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-252 package and ensures safe operation without exceeding 175 °C maximum junction temperature. The AOD4286 maintains stable RDS(ON) performance across this range due to its positive temperature coefficient.
Does the AOD4286 have a specified avalanche energy rating, and is it tested?
Yes, the AOD4286 is 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested with a minimum rated avalanche energy (EAS) of 104 mJ at TJ = 125 °C. This rating is confirmed in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated per JEDEC JESD24-11. The AOD4286 uses this ruggedness to operate reliably in boost and flyback primary switches without external clamping.
Can the AOD4286 be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without a gate driver?
No-the AOD4286 requires ≥4.5 V gate drive for reliable enhancement-mode operation, with typical RDS(ON) < 92 mΩ only above that threshold. A 3.3 V GPIO cannot fully enhance the device and will result in excessive conduction loss. The AOD4286 must be paired with a dedicated gate driver or level-shifter to achieve its specified 68 mΩ RDS(ON) and low switching loss.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for the AOD4286 in standard PCB layout?
The AOD4286 has RθJA = 50 °C/W when mounted on a 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper in still air, per Note H in the datasheet. This value assumes standard solder mask-defined thermal pad layout. For improved thermal performance, the AOD4286's exposed drain pad must be connected to a large copper pour or internal ground plane to approach its RθJC = 5 °C/W limit.
How does the body diode performance of the AOD4286 compare to discrete Schottky diodes in synchronous rectification?
The AOD4286's integrated body diode delivers VSD = 0.76–1.0 V at 1 A and trr = 15 ns, enabling efficient synchronous rectification without external diodes in medium-frequency DC/DC converters. While discrete Schottky diodes offer lower forward voltage, the AOD4286 eliminates component count and layout complexity-its performance is validated in real-world boost and LLC designs where its Qrr = 53 nC and soft recovery reduce EMI versus fast-recovery diodes.
