Product details
Overview
AONS66817 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is an 80V, 120A N-channel AlphaSGT2™ power MOSFET in DFN5x6 package, featuring <4.1mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS=10V, 1.8Ω gate resistance, and 54nC total gate charge-designed for high-efficiency DC motor drives and synchronous rectification in industrial BMS and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AONS66817 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 80V VDS, 120A continuous drain current at TC=100°C, 100% UIS-tested ruggedness, low Qgd/Qg ratio for fast switching, and enhanced body diode recovery (trr=29ns, Qrr=125nC).
Technical Context
The AONS66817 employs AlphaSGT2™ trench-gate superjunction technology to achieve ultra-low RDS(ON) while maintaining robust avalanche capability (EAS=28mJ) and low gate charge (Qg=54nC). Its dynamic parameters-including 12.5ns tD(on), 37ns tD(off), and 16pF Crss-support high-frequency hard-switching topologies.
Thermally, it delivers 113W power dissipation at TC=25°C with RθJC=1.1°C/W, and supports stable operation across –55°C to 150°C junction temperature range. The device is 100% tested for gate resistance (Rg=0.9–2.7Ω) and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance.

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 IPP040N08N | RDS(ON) = 4.0mΩ @ 10V, but higher Qg = 62nC and no 100% UIS test data published. | Higher gate drive loss in high-frequency SMPS; lacks documented avalanche ruggedness for motor drive. | Prefer AONS66817 where UIS reliability and fast switching are prioritized over marginal RDS(ON) reduction. |
| Vishay SIHF120N80AE | TO-247 package (larger footprint), RDS(ON) = 4.2mΩ @ 10V, Qg = 58nC, EAS = 25mJ. | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.4°C/W) limits power density. | Select AONS66817 for surface-mount, space-constrained designs requiring superior thermal performance and proven UIS margin. |
Compared with IPP040N08N and SIHF120N80AE, the AONS66817 offers the lowest combined RDS(ON) × Qg figure-of-merit (217 mΩ·nC), best-in-class RθJC (1.1°C/W), and factory-verified UIS robustness-making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-reliability industrial switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AONS66817 at case temperature of 100°C?
The AONS66817 supports 120A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal interface to maintain junction temperature below 150°C. Derating applies above 100°C case temperature per Figure 13 in the datasheet. The AONS66817 achieves this high current capability via its low 4.1mΩ RDS(ON) and 1.1°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
Does AONS66817 have built-in avalanche ruggedness, and is it tested?
Yes, the AONS66817 is 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested per JEDEC JESD24-1, with a guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 28mJ at TJ = 25°C. This ruggedness is intrinsic to its AlphaSGT2™ process and enables reliable operation during inductive load turn-off transients without external protection. The AONS66817 datasheet explicitly states "100% UIS Tested" in the Product Summary section.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for AONS66817, and how does it affect logic-level drive compatibility?
The AONS66817 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.5V to 3.8V at TJ = 25°C, and 3.4V to 4.7V at TJ = 125°C. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V and 5V microcontroller GPIOs, even under elevated temperature. The AONS66817's low VGS(th) upper limit avoids false triggering while maintaining strong enhancement-mode behavior-critical for half-bridge bootstrap gate drive stability.
Can AONS66817 be used in synchronous rectification applications, and what body diode parameters support this?
Yes, the AONS66817 is qualified for synchronous rectification, supported by its fast body diode with trr = 29ns and Qrr = 125nC at IF = 20A and di/dt = 500A/ms. Its low VSD = 0.7–1.0V also minimizes forward conduction loss. These parameters-explicitly listed in the Electrical Characteristics table-enable efficient replacement of Schottky diodes in DC/DC and AC/DC secondary-side circuits, reducing heat generation and improving system efficiency.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for AONS66817, and how is it measured?
The AONS66817 has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 1.1°C/W, measured with the device mounted to a large heatsink under steady-state conditions (Note F). This value reflects direct thermal path from silicon die to the exposed drain paddle. It enables accurate power derating calculations-for example, 113W dissipation at TC = 25°C yields TJ = 150°C. The AONS66817's low RθJC is a key enabler for high-power surface-mount designs without discrete heatsinks.
