Product details
Overview
AON7446 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 50 A, 3.8 mΩ N-channel MOSFET in a 5 mm × 6 mm DFN package with exposed drain pad, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion in server VRMs and POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the AON7446 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 per AOS Green Policy.
Technical Context
The AON7446 employs trench-gate 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) = 1.0–2.5 V).
Designed for synchronous buck topologies, it delivers high current density with low conduction and switching losses. Its DFN5x6 package enables enhanced thermal dissipation via bottom-side copper exposure and solderable thermal pad connection to 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 |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.8 mΩ - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A in continuous operation |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 5.2 mΩ - ensures full enhancement with 5 V logic-level gate drivers |
| Qg | 22 nC - supports efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with moderate gate drive strength |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - measured on 1-in² 2-oz Cu PCB; enables >30 W power dissipation with forced air |
| Package | DFN5x6 - surface-mount, thermally enhanced, halogen-free per AOS Green Policy (no "L" suffix required) |
Pinout & Package
DFN5x6 package with exposed drain pad (Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Source, Pin 3 = Drain, Pin 4 = Source, Pin 5 = Drain, Pin 6 = Drain, Pin 7 = Drain, Pin 8 = Drain). Thermal pad (bottom side) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 4.5–10 V logic-level drive; requires low-inductance layout |
| Pins 2 & 4 | Source | Power return path; connects to source of synchronous rectifier or controller reference |
| Pins 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 + Thermal Pad | Drain | Main power output node; ties to input rail; thermal pad must be electrically and thermally connected to PCB ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 5.2 mΩ enables use with 5 V gate drivers without external level-shifting circuitry |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Reduces gate charge and output capacitance, improving efficiency in high-frequency POL converters |
| Halogen-free DFN5x6 package | Fully compliant with AOS Green Policy; no brominated flame retardants (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, total ≤1500 ppm) |
| Enhanced thermal pad design | Bottom-exposed drain pad reduces RθJA by ~30% vs. standard SO-8, supporting higher current density |
Applications

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 BSC014N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 10 V; higher current rating (120 A); larger PQFN 5×6 package with different pinout | Requires PCB redesign due to non-identical pin assignment and thermal pad layout | Preferred for higher-efficiency, higher-current designs where board space permits |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 25 nC; same DFN5x6 footprint but different thermal pad geometry | Compatible in footprint but requires validation of thermal pad solder mask and stencil design | Suitable for drop-in evaluation where minor efficiency trade-off is acceptable |
Compared with BSC014N04LS6 and SiR872DP, the AON7446 offers balanced RDS(on), Qg, and thermal performance in a fully halogen-free DFN5x6 package, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume server and telecom POL applications requiring regulatory compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AON7446?
The AON7446 is rated for 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C with proper heatsinking. Derating applies above 25 °C case temperature; at 100 °C case, the device supports ~28 A continuous. This rating assumes the thermal pad is fully soldered to a 1-in² 2-oz copper area on the PCB.
Does the AON7446 require a gate resistor for typical 500 kHz buck converter operation?
The AON7446 has a gate charge (Qg) of 22 nC and low input capacitance, so a small gate resistor (2–10 Ω) is recommended to damp ringing and control dV/dt during switching. No external gate driver IC is needed when paired with standard PWM controllers capable of sourcing ≥1 A peak gate current.
Is the AON7446 halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the AON7446 is fully halogen-free per AOS Green Policy (Br/Cl <900 ppm each, total ≤1500 ppm) and RoHS compliant. It uses a green molding compound and does not require an "L" suffix, as all DFN5x6 devices were converted to halogen-free status prior to 2010.
Can the AON7446 be used as a synchronous rectifier in a 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter?
Yes, the AON7446 is suitable as a synchronous rectifier in 48 V to 12 V isolated forward or active-clamp converters. Its 30 V VDS rating provides sufficient margin for 12 V output with reflected transients, and its low RDS(on) reduces conduction loss compared to Schottky diodes.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the thermal pad of the AON7446?
The AON7446 thermal pad must be connected to a large, low-impedance PCB ground plane using ≥9 solder paste vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤1 mm apart) under the pad. A minimum 1-in² 2-oz copper area is required to achieve the published RθJA of 40 °C/W; insufficient copper will degrade thermal performance and limit safe operating current.
