Product details
Overview
AOI468 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 300V, 11.5A N-Channel MOSFET in TO-251A (IPAK) package, featuring RDS(ON) < 0.42 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 100% UIS tested, and guaranteed avalanche capability. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline AC-DC power supplies, synchronous rectifiers, and boost converters for telecom and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AOI468 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 300V VDS, 11.5A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 0.31–0.42 Ω RDS(ON), 12.8 nC total gate charge, and TO-251A thermal performance with RθJC = 0.5°C/W.
Technical Context
The AOI468 employs an advanced high-voltage MOSFET process optimized for robustness in AC-DC applications. Its low Ciss (632 pF typ), low Crss (7 pF typ), and fast switching (tD(on) = 18 ns, tf = 20 ns) reduce switching losses in high-frequency converters.
Guaranteed unclamped inductive switching (UIS) and 100% Rg testing ensure reliability under transient stress. The device supports body-diode operation with VSD = 0.74–1.0 V and Qrr = 1.3 mC (typ), enabling use in synchronous rectification where reverse recovery behavior is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 300 V maximum - supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline SMPS up to 265 VAC. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 11.5 A continuous - enables compact heatsink design in 65–150 W power supplies. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.31–0.42 Ω at VGS = 10 V - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at full load. |
| Qg | 12.8 nC typical - balances gate drive strength and switching speed for <100 kHz operation. |
| EAS | 430 mJ single-pulse - withstands energy transients in boost PFC and flyback snubber circuits. |
| RθJC | 0.5 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink for thermal management in high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
AOI468 is housed in a TO-251A (IPAK) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, offering improved thermal performance over DPAK while maintaining PCB footprint compatibility. The package features isolated drain tab for simplified heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires 3.4–4.5 V threshold and ≤4.1 Ω gate resistance for stable turn-on/turn-off. |
| D | Drain | High-voltage power node; electrically connected to exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical path to heatsink. |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; forms return path for body diode conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Validated avalanche ruggedness ensures reliable operation during inductive turn-off transients without derating. |
| Low Crss (7 pF typ) | Minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations and improves EMI profile. |
| Body diode Qrr = 1.3 mC | Enables efficient synchronous rectification in secondary-side DC-DC stages with controlled reverse recovery. |
| RθJC = 0.5 °C/W | Supports >15 W continuous power dissipation with minimal case-to-heatsink thermal interface resistance. |
Applications
| Boost Converters | Synchronous Rectifiers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency PFC stage in 100–200 W LED drivers and industrial adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switch operating at 65–135 kHz with hard-switched topology.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-frequency hard-switched MOSFET in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation. Use Value: TO-251A package and RθJC = 0.5 °C/W enable stable thermal performance in sealed enclosures without forced air. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-Channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP3NK30ZFP | 300 V, 2.5 A, RDS(ON) = 2.2 Ω - lower current rating and higher on-resistance. | Only suitable for ≤30 W designs; lacks UIS rating and low-Crss optimization. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power density and ruggedness requirements. |
| IXTP12N30P | 300 V, 12 A, RDS(ON) = 0.35 Ω - similar current but TO-220 package with RθJC = 1.0 °C/W. | Requires larger heatsink volume; not surface-mount compatible with AOI468 layout. | Choose for through-hole assembly or legacy board reuse where thermal mass compensates for higher RθJC. |
Compared with STP3NK30ZFP and IXTP12N30P, the AOI468 delivers superior power density via TO-251A packaging, lower switching losses due to reduced Crss and Qg, and verified avalanche robustness-making it optimal for new compact, high-reliability AC-DC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for AOI468?
The AOI468 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 175°C, validated across all absolute maximum ratings and thermal derating curves. This rating enables operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies, and is supported by its RθJC = 0.5°C/W and RθJA = 55°C/W (on 1 in² FR-4 board). Thermal design must respect the 175°C limit to maintain reliability and UIS performance.
Does AOI468 support gate drive at 5 V logic level?
No - the AOI468 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 3.4–4.5 V, and its RDS(ON) is specified only at VGS = 10 V. At 5 V, the device operates in weak inversion with significantly elevated RDS(ON) (>1.5 Ω), leading to excessive conduction loss and thermal runaway risk. AOI468 requires a 10 V ±10% gate drive for full enhancement and rated current handling.
Is AOI468 pin-compatible with AOD468?
No - AOI468 uses the TO-251A (IPAK) package with gull-wing leads, while AOD468 uses TO-252 (DPAK) with J-bend leads. Although both share identical silicon die and electrical specifications, their footprints, thermal pad layouts, and soldering profiles differ. Board redesign is required to substitute AOI468 for AOD468 or vice versa.
What does "100% UIS tested" mean for AOI468?
"100% UIS tested" means every AOI468 unit undergoes individual unclamped inductive switching stress test per JEDEC JESD24-11, using L = 60 mH, IAS = 3.8 A, VDD = 150 V, and RG = 10 Ω. This validates avalanche energy handling (EAS = 430 mJ) and ensures no latent defects that could cause failure during real-world inductive turn-off events in boost or flyback converters.
Can AOI468 be used in linear-mode (saturation) operation?
No - AOI468 is optimized for switching-mode operation only. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve (Figure 9) shows severe derating in linear region: at VDS = 50 V, maximum continuous ID drops to ~3 A at TC = 25°C. Linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) and insufficient SOA margin. AOI468 must be operated in hard-switched or synchronous rectifier modes.
