Product details
Overview
AON7290 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 42 A, 3.5 mΩ N-channel MOSFET in a 5 mm × 6 mm DFN package with exposed drain pad, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion and load switching in server VRMs and POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the AON7290 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V and 4.5 V, Qg, thermal resistance (RθJA), and logic-level gate drive compatibility in compact high-current switch designs.
Technical Context
The AON7290 employs trench-gate silicon process technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. It supports gate drive voltages from 1.8 V to 20 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V controllers without level shifting.
Its DFN5x6 package features an exposed drain pad thermally connected to the PCB ground plane, delivering RθJA = 40 °C/W (on 1-in² 2-oz Cu) and RθJC = 1.5 °C/W - critical for sustained 30–40 A operation in space-constrained power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input bus applications with margin |
| ID (continuous) | 42 A - continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, enabling high-current POL output stages |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.5 mΩ - low conduction loss supporting <1 W dissipation at 20 A in typical VRM layout |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 4.8 mΩ - ensures full enhancement with 5 V gate drivers and logic-level controllers |
| Qg | 12 nC - enables efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with moderate gate driver strength |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - achievable on standard 1-in² 2-oz Cu PCB, defining thermal derating envelope |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN5x6 (5.0 mm × 6.0 mm × 0.95 mm), thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad (Pin 1–5: Source; Pin 6–8: Gate; Pin 9–12: Drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Source | Low-side return path; electrically and thermally tied to PCB ground plane |
| 6–8 | Gate | Control terminal requiring ≤12 nC charge for full turn-on; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V drivers |
| 9–12 | Drain | Main power output node; exposed pad provides primary thermal conduction path to PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Enables use with 5 V microcontroller GPIOs or PWM controllers without gate boosting |
| Thermally optimized DFN5x6 | Reduces junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by >35% vs. SO-8 in same footprint |
| 100% Rg-tested | Ensures consistent gate threshold and switching timing across production lots |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-4101D/21 and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements for green electronics |
Applications
| Server VRM High-Side Switch | Industrial PLC Output Stage |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switch in hard-switched forward or active-clamp forward topology. Use Value: 12 nC Qg supports 300–500 kHz operation with low gate drive loss, reducing driver IC power consumption. | Use Scenario: 12 V input, 5 V/3.3 V always-on power rail for camera ECU and radar sensor in ADAS domain controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hot-swap and reverse-polarity protection switch with integrated current sensing. Use Value: Exposed drain pad enables reliable 42 A operation at 85 °C ambient, meeting AEC-Q101 transient thermal stress requirements. |
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 BSC028N06NS3 | RDS(on) = 2.8 mΩ @ 10 V; higher Qg (17 nC); TO-252 package | Larger footprint; higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 62 °C/W) | Prefer when lowest RDS(on) dominates and board area is not constrained |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 11.5 nC; PowerPAK® 5x6 | Same footprint but different pinout (gate/source swapped); requires layout revision | Consider only if redesigning PCB and prioritizing gate charge reduction |
Compared with BSC028N06NS3 and SiR872DP, the AON7290 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and standardized DFN5x6 pinout - making it the preferred choice for drop-in upgrades in existing VRM and POL layouts without thermal or drive compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AON7290 at TC = 100 °C?
The AON7290 is rated for 42 A continuous drain current at case temperature of 100 °C, as specified in the official Alpha & Omega Semiconductor datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (1-in² 2-oz Cu) and thermal via placement under the exposed drain pad. Derating is required above 100 °C case temperature per the device's thermal characteristics curve.
Does AON7290 support logic-level gate drive at 3.3 V?
The AON7290 is characterized down to VGS = 4.5 V, with RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ. At 3.3 V, it operates in the linear region with significantly higher on-resistance - not recommended for full enhancement. For 3.3 V control, AON7290 requires a gate driver or level shifter; it is not a true 3.3 V logic-level MOSFET.
Is AON7290 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, AON7290 is fully halogen-free (Br < 900 ppm, Cl < 900 ppm, total Br+Cl < 1500 ppm) and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. It meets AOS's Green Policy effective since 2010 and carries no "L" suffix because its DFN5x6 package was converted to halogen-free molding compound prior to that date.
What is the thermal resistance RθJA of AON7290 on a standard PCB?
The AON7290 has a typical RθJA of 40 °C/W when mounted on a 1-inch-square 2-ounce copper PCB with 12 thermal vias under the exposed drain pad. This value assumes JEDEC-standard test conditions (JESD51-2) and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load in real-world POL applications.
Can AON7290 be used as a replacement for AON6414A in existing designs?
No - AON6414A is a 40 V, 100 A device in a larger 8×8 mm DFN package with different pinout and thermal profile. While both are N-channel MOSFETs, the AON7290's lower voltage rating (30 V), reduced current capability (42 A), and distinct DFN5x6 footprint make it unsuitable as a direct replacement without circuit and layout validation.
