Product details
Overview
AON6404 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 115 A, 2.2 mΩ (typ) N-channel MOSFET in a 5x6 mm DFN package, optimized for high-efficiency synchronous buck converters and load switches in DC-DC power stages.
For engineers reviewing the AON6404 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V and 4.5 V, Qg of 37 nC, thermal resistance (RθJA = 40 °C/W), and compliance with halogen-free packaging requirements per AOS Green Policy.
Technical Context
The AON6404 uses Trench Power MOSFET technology to achieve low conduction loss and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.2 V to 2.5 V, enabling robust 4.5 V logic-level drive compatibility.
Designed for surface-mount power conversion, the device supports continuous drain current (ID) up to 115 A at TC = 25 °C and features a maximum pulsed drain current (IDM) of 460 A. The body diode exhibits reverse recovery time (trr) of 38 ns and Qrr of 39 nC under specified test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 2.2 mΩ (typ) - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A continuous current |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 3.0 mΩ (max) - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic drivers |
| Qg | 37 nC - Supports efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching in compact DC-DC designs |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in DFN5x6 |
| Qrr | 39 nC - Reduces switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN5x6 (dual-side cooling, exposed drain pad).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Source | Common source connection for low-side switch configuration; ties directly to power ground plane |
| 9, 10 | Gate | Dual gate pads reduce gate loop inductance and improve switching stability |
| Exposed Pad | Drain | Primary thermal and electrical path for high-current drain return; must be soldered to large copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Halogen-free construction | Meets AOS Green Policy: Br/Cl < 900 ppm each, total Br+Cl < 1500 ppm - eliminates corrosive halogen emissions during PCB reflow and end-of-life disposal |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 2.2 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V in 5x6 mm footprint - enables higher power density than comparable SO-8 devices |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) max 2.5 V - ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting |
| Low Qrr body diode | 39 nC Qrr - minimizes reverse recovery loss and shoot-through risk in synchronous buck topologies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC020N03LS | RDS(on) = 2.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 32 nC; same DFN5x6 package | Slightly lower RDS(on) but tighter VGS(th) distribution (1.0–2.0 V) | Preferred where gate drive margin is limited; verify startup behavior under cold-cranking conditions |
| Vishay SiR626DP | RDS(on) = 2.3 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 41 nC; thermally enhanced PowerPAK® 5x6 | Higher Qg increases gate drive loss; identical thermal pad layout | Acceptable where board-level thermal design accommodates +5 °C junction rise |
Compared with BSC020N03LS and SiR626DP, the AON6404 offers balanced RDS(on)/Qg trade-off and documented halogen-free compliance per AOS Green Policy - critical for industrial and telecom customers with strict material declarations.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AON6404 at 100 °C case temperature?
The AON6404 supports 75 A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 100 °C, derated from its 115 A rating at 25 °C per the SOA curve in the official datasheet. This value accounts for thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.2 °C/W) and typical PCB copper area. Designers must validate junction temperature using actual layout and ambient conditions before finalizing thermal design for the AON6404.
Does AON6404 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the AON6404 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and AOS Green Policy: bromine and chlorine each < 900 ppm, total halogens < 1500 ppm. It carries no "L" suffix because all DFN5x6 packages were converted to halogen-free construction by 2010; the AON6404 is inherently green without suffix designation.
Can AON6404 be used as a direct replacement for AON6402 in existing designs?
No - while both are DFN5x6 N-channel MOSFETs, the AON6402 has RDS(on) = 3.0 mΩ @ 10 V and 55 A ID, whereas the AON6404 delivers 2.2 mΩ and 115 A. Substituting AON6404 may require gate drive strength verification and thermal reassessment due to higher current capability and different SOA limits.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for AON6404 in a 600 kHz synchronous buck converter?
A 4.7 Ω gate resistor is recommended for the AON6404 in 600 kHz operation to balance switching speed (tr/tf ≈ 12 ns) and gate ringing suppression. This value assumes a 5 V logic driver with 10 Ω source impedance. Layout-dependent parasitics may require adjustment; empirical validation with oscilloscope probing of gate waveform is advised for the AON6404.
Is the exposed drain pad of AON6404 electrically isolated from the source terminals?
No - the exposed drain pad of the AON6404 is internally connected to the drain terminal only and is electrically isolated from all source and gate terminals. It must be soldered to a dedicated drain-copper pour and cannot be tied to ground or source planes unless the circuit topology explicitly requires drain-to-PCB thermal coupling with isolation maintained.
