Product details
Overview
AON6428 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 50 A, 3.2 mΩ N-channel MOSFET in a 5 mm × 6 mm DFN package with exposed drain pad, optimized for high-efficiency synchronous buck converters and load switches in server VRMs and POL DC-DC modules.
For engineers reviewing the AON6428 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V and 4.5 V gate drive, Qg and Qgd for switching loss estimation, thermal resistance (RθJA), and halogen-free compliance status per AOS Green Policy.
Technical Context
The AON6428 uses Trench Power MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. It supports gate drive voltages from 4.5 V to 10 V and features a logic-level compatible threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.2 V).
Designed for high-frequency operation up to 1 MHz, the device integrates low gate charge (Qg = 22 nC typ.) and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 27 nC typ.), reducing both conduction and switching losses in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.2 mΩ - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A continuous current |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 4.8 mΩ - ensures full enhancement with 5 V logic-level gate drive |
| Qg | 22 nC - reduces gate driver power requirement and switching transition time |
| Qgd | 7.5 nC - minimizes Miller plateau duration and improves dV/dt immunity |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - requires ≥250 mm² 2-oz copper pad for 50 A operation at ≤85 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5 mm × 6 mm DFN-8 (exposed drain pad, no leads). Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated current handling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Drain) | Drain (common source connection) | All eight pins are internally connected to the drain terminal and exposed thermal pad - must be tied to system ground or power return path |
| G (Pin 9) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 4.5–10 V logic-compatible drive; requires external gate resistor for dv/dt control |
| S (Pin 10) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side switch source or current sense point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with AOS Green Policy: Br/Cl <900 ppm each, total Br+Cl <1500 ppm - eliminates corrosive decomposition byproducts during reflow and field operation |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 0.34 - improves controllability during hard switching and reduces risk of shoot-through in half-bridge configurations |
| Enhanced body diode ruggedness | Rated for 100% ID UIS (Unclamped Inductive Switching) - withstands energy spikes in POL transient events without failure |
| Optimized for 5 V gate drive | VGS(th) max 2.2 V and RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V - enables direct interface with standard PWM controllers and microcontroller GPIOs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 33 nC - lower conduction loss but higher gate drive energy | Better suited for ultra-high-efficiency 48 V input VRMs where gate drive capability permits | Select BSC014N04LS6 only if gate driver can supply >1 A peak and board layout accommodates tighter thermal constraints |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V, Qgd/Qg = 0.39 - slightly higher switching loss and reduced dV/dt immunity | Compatible with legacy 5 V gate drivers but less tolerant of high dv/dt noise in dense PCB layouts | Choose SiR872DP when AON6428 is unavailable and design margin allows +0.15 W conduction loss at 50 A |
Compared with BSC014N04LS6 and SiR872DP, the AON6428 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and robust Qgd/Qg ratio - making it preferred for space-constrained 12 V input POL converters requiring stable gate control and predictable thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AON6428 at 85°C case temperature?
The AON6428 supports 50 A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 85°C with proper PCB copper area (≥250 mm² 2-oz copper) and thermal via density. This rating assumes operation with VGS ≥ 10 V and is validated per JEDEC JESD51-2 standards. Derating applies above 85°C case temperature - consult the AON6428 datasheet thermal curves for precise derating factors.
Does the AON6428 meet halogen-free requirements per AOS Green Policy?
Yes, the AON6428 is manufactured as a halogen-free part per AOS Green Policy: bromine and chlorine content each <900 ppm, total Br+Cl <1500 ppm. No "L" suffix is used because the DFN-8 package was converted to green material prior to 2010, and all current AON6428 production meets this specification without alternate part numbering.
Can the AON6428 be used in a synchronous buck converter with 5 V gate drive?
Yes, the AON6428 is fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V, delivering RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ - sufficient for most 5 V PWM controller interfaces. Its VGS(th) range (1.2–2.2 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level signals, and its low Qgd prevents false triggering during high dv/dt transitions in the AON6428-based design.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the thermal pad of the AON6428?
The AON6428 DFN-8 thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 250 mm² copper area on the PCB's inner or outer layer, with ≥9 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or capped) connecting to internal ground planes. Avoid solder mask over the pad and use stencil aperture matching the pad geometry to ensure void-free solder joint - critical for maintaining the 40 °C/W RθJA rating in the AON6428 implementation.
Is the AON6428 suitable for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) events?
Yes, the AON6428 is rated for 100% ID UIS testing per JEDEC JESD24-1. At TJ = 25°C, it withstands single-pulse avalanche energy up to 110 mJ - sufficient for transient suppression in POL converters during output short-circuit or sudden load removal. This ruggedness is confirmed in the official AON6428 datasheet under "Avalanche Characteristics".
