Product details
Overview
AON7788 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30 V, 42 A, 3.5 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 AON7788 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 synchronous buck stages.
Technical Context
The AON7788 employs a trench-gate silicon process with optimized cell pitch and reduced gate charge to achieve low conduction and switching losses. It supports 100% rated current with gate drive voltages as low as 4.5 V, enabling direct interface with standard logic-level PWM controllers.
Its 5×6 mm DFN package features exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation, and the device is characterized across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with guaranteed RDS(on) and Qg specs at TJ = 25°C and 125°C.
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 | 3.5 mΩ - Low conduction loss enabling >95% efficiency in 12 V → 1 V buck converters |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 5.2 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement with logic-level gate drivers (e.g., ISL6612A) |
| Qg | 12.5 nC - Enables fast switching with moderate gate driver strength (e.g., dual 2-A peak drivers) |
| RθJA | 40°C/W - Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient on 1-in² 2-oz copper, defining heatsink-free operation limits |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5×6 mm DFN-8 (exposed drain pad), RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per AOS Green Policy (no "L" suffix required - AON7788 is green by default).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 | Source | Common source connection; tied to PCB ground plane via multiple vias for low-inductance return path |
| 5, 6 | Gate | Control terminal; requires <13 nC total gate charge for full turn-on at 4.5–10 V |
| Exposed Pad | Drain | Main power drain node; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal and electrical performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Enables use with 5 V or 3.3 V gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Reduces Miller charge (Qgd) to <4.5 nC, minimizing shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Fully compliant with AOS Green Policy - no brominated flame retardants (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1500 ppm total) |
| Enhanced thermal pad design | Exposes drain directly to PCB for RθJC = 1.2°C/W, supporting high-power density layouts |
Applications
| Server VRM | GPU Power Delivery |

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 BSC014N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 10 V, higher current rating (100 A), larger 5×6 mm PQFN package with different pinout | Better suited for higher-current single-phase designs; not pin-compatible due to source/gate pin reordering | Select BSC014N04LS6 only when board redesign accommodates altered pin assignment and thermal layout. |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 14.5 nC, same DFN-8 footprint but non-exposed-drain variant | Limited thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 52°C/W); requires additional thermal vias or heatsinking | Choose SiR872DP only if halogen-free compliance is secondary and thermal budget permits higher junction rise. |
Compared with BSC014N04LS6 and SiR872DP, the AON7788 offers balanced RDS(on)/Qg trade-off, verified halogen-free compliance, and optimal thermal pad integration - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-efficiency 42 A POL designs where pinout and thermal continuity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AON7788?
The AON7788 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 a minimum 1-in² 2-oz copper area. At TC = 25°C, the absolute maximum is 100 A, but derating is required per thermal constraints in real-world applications. The AON7788 datasheet specifies these limits under JEDEC JESD51-2 test conditions.
Is AON7788 compatible with 5 V gate drive voltage?
Yes, the AON7788 is fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V, with RDS(on) specified at 5.2 mΩ under that condition. It operates reliably with standard 5 V logic-level PWM controllers such as TI UCC27524 or ON Semi NCP302. No gate driver boosting or level-shifting circuitry is needed. The AON7788 achieves this via optimized trench gate oxide thickness and channel doping profile.
Does AON7788 meet halogen-free requirements per AOS Green Policy?
Yes, the AON7788 is manufactured in a halogen-free package per AOS Green Policy - with bromine and chlorine each below 900 ppm and total halogens below 1500 ppm. No "L" suffix is used because AON7788 was introduced after AOS completed full green conversion in 2010 and is exclusively produced in halogen-free molding compound. The AON7788 complies with IPC-4101D and JEDEC JS-709E standards.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of AON7788 on a standard PCB?
The AON7788 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 40°C/W when mounted on a 1-in² 2-oz copper PCB per JEDEC 51-7. This value assumes the exposed drain pad is fully soldered with ≥9 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to an internal ground plane. With enhanced thermal layout, RθJA can improve to ≤32°C/W. The AON7788 thermal performance is validated using IR imaging and transient dual-interface testing.
Can AON7788 be used as a low-side switch in synchronous buck converters?
Yes, the AON7788 is commonly deployed as the low-side switch in synchronous buck topologies, especially where high current and low RDS(on) are critical. Its 5.2 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V ensures strong conduction during the freewheeling interval, and its 12.5 nC Qg allows clean, fast turn-off to minimize body diode conduction loss. The AON7788 pairs effectively with high-side FETs like AON6718 or AON6720 in dual-phase VRMs.
