Product details
Overview
AOK8N80 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is an 800 V, 7.4 A N-channel high-voltage power MOSFET in TO-247 package, featuring RDS(on) < 1.63 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 100% UIS tested, and guaranteed avalanche capability-designed for offline AC-DC power supplies including LED drivers and auxiliary power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AOK8N80 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage (800 V), continuous current rating (7.4 A @ TC = 25°C), gate threshold (3.3–4.5 V), total gate charge (20–32 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.51 °C/W).
Technical Context
The AOK8N80 employs a high-voltage trench-gate MOSFET process optimized for robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance and low dynamic losses. Its Ciss (1100–1650 pF), Crss (6–16 pF), and Qg (20–32 nC) support efficient hard-switching in flyback and LLC resonant converters up to 100 kHz.
It delivers avalanche-rated operation (EAS = 433 mJ, IAR = 3.8 A) with tight VGS(th) distribution (3.3–4.5 V) and body diode recovery time trr = 380–585 ns at IF = 8 A, enabling reliable operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) topologies without external snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports 400 VAC input designs with ≥2× safety margin against line transients |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 7.4 A - defines maximum continuous conduction capability with heatsink at ambient temperature |
| RDS(on) (VGS = 10 V) | < 1.63 Ω - determines conduction loss in primary-side switch; typical 1.35 Ω reduces Pcond by ~20% vs. max |
| Qg | 20–32 nC - sets gate drive power requirement and switching speed trade-off in PWM controllers |
| EAS | 433 mJ - enables single-pulse energy handling during overcurrent events without failure |
| RθJC | 0.51 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to heatsink; enables 300 W dissipation at ΔT = 150°C junction-to-case |
| trr | 380–585 ns - limits reverse recovery loss and EMI generation in DCM flyback secondary-side rectification |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247 (3-lead, isolated tab). Standard through-hole mounting with drain-connected metal tab for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Connected to transformer primary or DC bus; electrically tied to metal tab for low-inductance heat sinking |
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives PWM signal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; Rg = 1.7–5.3 Ω affects switching speed and ringing |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive | Return path for load current; used as local ground reference for gate driver ICs and current sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche survival under worst-case inductive turn-off stress without derating |
| Low Crss (6–16 pF) | Reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves dv/dt immunity in high-side configurations |
| Guaranteed VGS(th) range (3.3–4.5 V) | Enables reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers; avoids partial enhancement in brown-out conditions |
| Halogen-free option (AOK8N80L) | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliance requirements for environmentally sensitive applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP8NK80ZFP | 800 V, 8 A, RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω (typ), TO-220FP package, no UIS rating specified | Limited to lower-power adapters due to higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 62.5 °C/W) | Prefer AOK8N80 where avalanche ruggedness and TO-247 thermal performance are required |
| IPP80N08S2L-07 | 80 V, 80 A, RDS(on) = 7.2 mΩ - incompatible voltage rating; not a functional substitute | Designed for low-voltage automotive motor drives, not AC-DC conversion | Not suitable for AOK8N80 replacement; voltage mismatch invalidates substitution |
Compared with STP8NK80ZFP, the AOK8N80 offers superior avalanche ruggedness and lower thermal resistance via TO-247 packaging, making it better suited for industrial-grade offline supplies. The IPP80N08S2L-07 is not a viable alternative due to its 80 V rating-far below the 800 V requirement of AOK8N80 applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum drain-source voltage rating for the AOK8N80?
The AOK8N80 has a maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 800 V at TJ = 25°C, with a temperature coefficient of 0.86 V/°C. This rating is validated across the full operating junction temperature range (−55°C to +150°C) and supports designs targeting 400 VAC input with sufficient margin for transient surges. The AOK8N80 maintains safe operation up to 900 V at TJ = 150°C per absolute maximum ratings.
Does the AOK8N80 have avalanche capability, and is it tested?
Yes, the AOK8N80 is 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested per JEDEC JESD24-1. It guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 433 mJ at TJ = 25°C and repetitive avalanche current (IAR) of 3.8 A. These ratings are measured using standardized test circuits with L = 60 mH, VDD = 150 V, and RG = 25 Ω, ensuring ruggedness in real-world overcurrent fault conditions.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the AOK8N80?
The AOK8N80 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 3.3 V to 4.5 V at ID = 250 µA and TJ = 25°C. This tightly controlled range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and unit variation, supporting reliable operation with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers without risk of partial enhancement or shoot-through.
What package type does the AOK8N80 use, and how is thermal management handled?
The AOK8N80 uses the TO-247 package with three leads (G, D, S) and an isolated metal tab electrically connected to the drain. Thermal management relies on direct mounting of the tab to a heatsink, achieving RθJC = 0.51 °C/W. This low junction-to-case resistance enables high-power dissipation-up to 300 W-with proper heatsinking, making it suitable for high-density offline power designs.
Is there a halogen-free version of the AOK8N80 available?
Yes, the halogen-free version is designated AOK8N80L. It meets IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with identical electrical and thermal specifications to the standard AOK8N80. The "L" suffix indicates lead-free and halogen-free construction, and both variants share the same TO-247 package and pinout.
