Product details
Overview
AON7140 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 40V, 148A N-channel Trench Power MOSFET in DFN 3.3×3.3 package, optimized for high-current synchronous rectification and motor drive with RDS(ON) < 2.3 mΩ at VGS=10V and < 3.5 mΩ at VGS=4.5V, supporting 12V–24V DC systems.
For engineers reviewing the AON7140 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (Qg=42–60 nC), 100% UIS-tested ruggedness, body-diode reverse recovery performance (trr=16 ns, Qrr=42 nC), and thermal resistance RθJC=1.4°C/W for high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
The AON7140 employs Trench Power MV MOSFET technology to achieve ultra-low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics. Its gate threshold voltage (1.4–2.4 V) enables robust 4.5V logic-level drive compatibility, while the integrated low-RDS(ON) silicon supports high-efficiency power conversion in compact layouts.
Thermal design is enabled by the exposed-drain DFN package delivering RθJC=1.4°C/W and RθJA=60°C/W on standard FR-4. The device is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) and avalanche energy (EAS=135 mJ), confirming reliability under transient overloads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12V–24V system bus protection and switching |
| ID (VGS=10V) | 148 A - Continuous drain current rating at TC=100°C, enabling high-current synchronous rectifiers |
| RDS(ON) (VGS=10V) | < 2.3 mΩ - Enables <1W conduction loss at 50A, critical for thermally constrained DC-DC converters |
| RDS(ON) (VGS=4.5V) | < 3.5 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement with 5V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting |
| Qg (10V) | 42–60 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power and switching losses in high-frequency operation |

| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Exposed-drain thermal path allows direct heatsinking for >89W steady-state dissipation at TC=100°C |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN 3.3×3.3 mm, 8-pin, exposed-drain thermal pad (pins 1–4 and 5–8 are source-connected; pin 3 is gate; pins 6–7 are drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 | Source (S) | Low-impedance return path tied to PCB ground plane; multiple pins reduce bond-wire inductance |

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 IPP036N04L | RDS(ON) = 3.6 mΩ @ 10V; Qg = 44 nC; TO-252 package | Larger footprint and higher RDS(ON) limit use in space-constrained 24V motor drives | Prefer when board-level heatsinking is available and cost sensitivity outweighs size constraints |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(ON) = 2.2 mΩ @ 10V; Qg = 64 nC; PowerPAK® 3.3×3.3 | Higher gate charge increases driver losses above 500 kHz; no 100% UIS test documentation | Select when absolute lowest RDS(ON) is prioritized and switching frequency remains ≤300 kHz |
Compared with IPP036N04L and SiR872DP, the AON7140 delivers superior thermal performance (RθJC=1.4°C/W), tighter gate resistance screening, and documented UIS ruggedness-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-power-density 12V–24V systems where layout area and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AON7140?
The AON7140 has a continuous drain current rating of 148 A at TC=100°C, verified under steady-state thermal conditions with proper heatsinking. This rating assumes the device is mounted on a PCB with adequate copper area and airflow. At TA=25°C with no heatsink, the derated current is 48 A due to higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Always refer to Figure 13 in the AON7140 datasheet for precise de-rating curves.
Does the AON7140 support 4.5V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the AON7140 is fully specified for 4.5V gate drive, with RDS(ON) guaranteed at < 3.5 mΩ under that condition. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.4–2.4 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5V microcontrollers and gate drivers. The low Qg(4.5V)=18–26 nC further confirms suitability for logic-level operation without excessive driver power consumption.
Is the AON7140 qualified for automotive applications?
No-the AON7140 is explicitly designed and qualified for the consumer market per its datasheet disclaimer. It is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not authorized for use in life-support devices or safety-critical automotive systems. For automotive-grade alternatives, consult AOS's AUIRF series or contact Aetrix Electronics for AEC-Q101-compliant equivalents to the AON7140.
What thermal resistance values apply to the AON7140 in typical PCB mounting?
In standard mounting on 1 in² FR-4 with 2 oz copper, the AON7140 exhibits RθJA=60°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and RθJC=1.4°C/W (junction-to-case). The latter enables direct thermal coupling to a heatsink or copper pour, supporting up to 89 W power dissipation at TC=100°C. These values are measured per JEDEC JESD51-2 and JESD51-14 standards.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for the AON7140?
The AON7140 undergoes 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing per JEDEC JESD24-1, with EAS=135 mJ rated at L=0.3 mH and TJ=25°C. Each unit is screened to ensure it withstands this single-pulse avalanche energy without parametric shift or failure. This validation supports reliable operation in motor drive and converter circuits subject to inductive kickback transients.
