Product details
Overview
AON7436 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30V, 50A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in a 5x6mm DFN package with 2.2mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion in server VRMs and POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the AON7436 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (Qg = 22nC), fast switching speed, thermally enhanced DFN5x6 package, and RoHS-compliant/halogen-free construction per AOS Green Policy.
Technical Context
The AON7436 uses trench-gate silicon process technology to achieve low RDS(on) and high current density. It features a logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.8V min) enabling direct drive from 3.3V or 5V controllers.
Its SOA is rated for repetitive avalanche energy (EAS = 120mJ) and includes integrated ESD protection (HBM > 2kV). The device supports synchronous rectification and operates up to TJ = 150°C.

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 BSC028N06NS3 | RDS(on) = 2.8mΩ @ 10V; Qg = 24nC; same DFN5x6 package | Slightly higher conduction loss at >30A; identical thermal profile | Preferred where Infineon supply chain alignment is required; verify gate drive strength margin |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 2.0mΩ @ 10V; Qg = 26nC; TJ max = 175°C | Better RDS(on) but higher Qg; wider temperature margin for harsh environments | Consider for extended-temperature industrial designs; requires gate driver capable of 26nC charge |
Compared with BSC028N06NS3 and SiR872DP, the AON7436 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low RDS(on), moderate gate charge, and halogen-free compliance-making it especially suitable for high-density, thermally constrained server and telecom power stages where material sustainability is mandated.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AON7436 at 25°C case temperature?
The AON7436 is rated for 50A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 25°C with sufficient heatsinking. Derating applies above 25°C per the datasheet's thermal resistance curve (RθJC = 1.2°C/W). At 100°C case temperature, the safe operating current drops to approximately 32A. Always verify layout thermal performance using the AON7436's exposed drain pad soldering guidelines.
Does AON7436 support logic-level gate drive from a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the AON7436 has a guaranteed gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 1.8V minimum, allowing full enhancement with 3.3V logic-level signals. However, for lowest RDS(on) and minimal switching loss, a 10V gate drive is recommended. When driven from 3.3V, RDS(on) increases to ~5.5mΩ - acceptable for lower-frequency, lower-current applications.
Is AON7436 halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the AON7436 is fully halogen-free and RoHS compliant per AOS Green Policy. Its molding compound contains bromine and chlorine each below 900ppm, with total halogens under 1500ppm. No "L" suffix is used because the DFN5x6 package was converted to green status prior to 2010 and carries no legacy non-halogen-free variant.
What is the avalanche energy rating of AON7436, and how is it tested?
The AON7436 is rated for 120mJ repetitive avalanche energy (EAS) under standardized test conditions (TJ = 25°C, L = 0.1mH, IAR = 25A). This rating confirms robustness against inductive switching transients in motor drive and DC-DC converter applications. Testing follows JEDEC JESD24-11 methodology with controlled single-pulse stress.
Can AON7436 be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?
Yes, the AON7436 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. For stable operation, use matched gate resistors (≤1Ω), symmetrical PCB layout, and common-source routing. Thermal coupling between devices must be minimized - maintain ≥2mm spacing and ensure uniform copper pour beneath each exposed drain pad.
