Product details
Overview
AON7424 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 42 A, 11.5 mΩ N-channel MOSFET in a 5x6 mm DFN package, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion in server VRMs and POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the AON7424 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V and 4.5 V, Qg, thermal resistance (RθJA), and compliance with halogen-free packaging requirements.
Technical Context
The AON7424 employs trench-gate MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching characteristics. It supports logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V) and exhibits low gate charge (Qg = 18 nC) and output charge (Qoss = 29 nC), enabling high-frequency operation in synchronous buck topologies.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 40 °C/W (standard PCB layout) and RθJC = 2.0 °C/W, with the exposed drain pad electrically connected to the internal die for efficient heat transfer to the PCB ground plane.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications |
| ID (continuous) | 42 A - continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, suitable for high-current POL stages |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 11.5 mΩ - enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A in high-side switch position |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 15.5 mΩ - ensures robust turn-on with 5 V or 3.3 V gate drivers in synchronous rectification |
| Qg | 18 nC - reduces gate drive power and switching losses in >500 kHz converters |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - defines junction-to-ambient thermal rise under standard 1-in² 2-oz copper layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5×6 mm DFN-8 (exposed drain pad), RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per AOS Green Policy (no "L" suffix required - AON7424 is green by default).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (all except pad) | Source | Internally paralleled source terminals reduce package inductance and improve current sharing |
| Drain Pad (bottom) | Drain | Exposed metal pad electrically tied to drain; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal and electrical performance |
| Gate (Pin 1 only) | Control Input | Single gate connection point; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1720 pF) minimizes driver loading |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 15.5 mΩ enables full enhancement with 5 V microcontroller GPIO or dedicated gate drivers |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Optimizes trade-off between switching speed and conduction loss for 300–1000 kHz DC-DC operation |
| Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets AOS Green Policy: Br/Cl < 900 ppm each, total Br+Cl < 1500 ppm - no "L" suffix needed |
| Low Qg/Qoss ratio | 18 nC / 29 nC improves hard-switching efficiency and reduces EMI in compact layouts |
Applications
| Server VRM High-Side Switch | Point-of-Load Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary high-side switch in 48 V to 12 V or 12 V to 1.8 V multiphase buck converters for CPU/GPU power delivery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier controlled by external PWM controller; operates at 300–600 kHz with tight dead-time management. Use Value: 11.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V reduces conduction loss by >15% vs. comparable 30 V MOSFETs, improving VRM efficiency at 40–60 A load. | Use Scenario: Final-stage step-down converter supplying core voltage to FPGAs, ASICs, or AI accelerators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier in 5 V or 3.3 V input buck regulator; driven by integrated controller gate outputs. Use Value: 15.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V ensures full turn-on with 5 V gate drive, minimizing body diode conduction and associated reverse recovery loss. |
| Industrial Motor Drive Half-Bridge | Telecom DC-DC Module |
Use Scenario: Upper or lower switch in 24 V BLDC motor gate driver stage requiring fast commutation and thermal resilience. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch in half-bridge configuration; switched at 20–100 kHz with bootstrap or isolated gate drive. Use Value: RθJC = 2.0 °C/W allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink via PCB copper, sustaining 35 A continuous current at TC = 100 °C. | Use Scenario: Isolated or non-isolated 48 V to 12 V/5 V telecom power module operating in forced-air or convection-cooled enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch in primary-side active clamp or secondary-side synchronous rectification stage. Use Value: Halogen-free packaging meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for telecom infrastructure equipment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 22 nC; same DFN-8 package | Slightly higher gate charge increases driver loss at >1 MHz; otherwise drop-in compatible | Prefer when higher VGS margin or legacy SiR872DP BOM reuse is required |
| IRF7470PBF | RDS(on) = 14.5 mΩ @ 10 V; SO-8 package; RθJA = 62 °C/W | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance limit current handling to ≤25 A continuous | Select only if SO-8 footprint compatibility is mandatory and power density is secondary |
Compared with SiR872DP and IRF7470PBF, the AON7424 delivers the lowest RDS(on) in its class with superior thermal performance in DFN-8, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-current POL designs where efficiency and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AON7424?
The AON7424 is rated for 42 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 100 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the exposed drain pad fully soldered to ≥1 in² of 2-oz copper. At TC = 25 °C, the absolute maximum is 100 A, but real-world operation is limited by thermal dissipation. The AON7424 datasheet specifies derating curves based on ambient and board layout conditions.
Does the AON7424 require a halogen-free designation suffix like "L"?
No - the AON7424 is manufactured in a halogen-free package per AOS Green Policy and does not require an "L" suffix. All AON7424 units shipped post-2010 meet Br/Cl < 900 ppm and total Br+Cl < 1500 ppm requirements. The "L" suffix applies only to legacy TO-220, TO-247, and similar packages; DFN-8 devices like the AON7424 are green by default.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the AON7424?
The AON7424 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 1.0 V to 2.5 V at ID = 250 µA. This logic-level characteristic allows reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V gate drivers. The typical VGS(th) is 1.6 V, and the device remains fully enhanced above 4.5 V, supporting robust operation in synchronous buck controllers with tight gate drive margins.
Can the AON7424 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - the AON7424 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. For stable parallel operation, ensure matched gate drive routing, symmetrical PCB copper areas, and identical thermal paths. The AON7424's low Qg (18 nC) also reduces gate oscillation risk during simultaneous switching. Always verify stability with layout-specific SPICE simulation before finalizing multi-device designs.
What is the recommended PCB footprint and thermal pad layout for the AON7424?
AOS recommends a 5×6 mm DFN-8 footprint with an exposed 4.2×4.2 mm drain pad centered beneath the package. The pad must connect to ≥1 in² of 2-oz inner-layer copper via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.8 mm pitch). The AON7424 datasheet provides exact land pattern dimensions and stencil aperture guidelines to ensure void-free solder joint formation and optimal thermal transfer from the drain pad to the PCB.
