Product details
Overview
AOT482L from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is an 80V N-Channel MOSFET fabricated with SDMOSTM trench technology, delivering RDS(ON) < 7.2 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 105 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 100% UIS-tested ruggedness for high-reliability power switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial load switches.
For engineers reviewing the AOT482L datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (Qg = 66.8 nC typ), fast switching (tr = 18 ns, tf = 21 ns), body-diode soft recovery (Qrr = 108 nC typ), TO-220 package thermal performance (RθJC = 0.45°C/W), and avalanche-rated operation (EAS rated).
Technical Context
The AOT482L employs SDMOSTM trench-gate process to simultaneously optimize conduction loss (RDS(ON) < 7.2 mΩ @ 10 V), switching loss (Qg = 66.8 nC, Qgd = 20.2 nC), and body-diode behavior (Qrr = 108 nC, trr = 26 ns). Its gate threshold voltage (2.5–3.7 V) ensures robust TTL/CMOS drive compatibility.
Rated for 175°C maximum junction temperature and 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested, the device supports high-duty-cycle, thermally constrained applications such as synchronous rectification and high-frequency PWM control where thermal stability and avalanche immunity are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V bus systems with 20% margin |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 105 A - Continuous current capability with standard heatsink mounting |
| RDS(ON) (VGS = 10 V) | < 7.2 mΩ - Low conduction loss enabling <1.5 W dissipation at 50 A |
| Qg (10 V) | 66.8 nC typ - Enables efficient 100–500 kHz switching with moderate gate driver strength |
| EAS | Rated - 100% UIS tested to ensure reliable energy absorption during inductive turn-off |
| Body Diode Qrr | 108 nC typ - Low reverse recovery charge reduces diode-induced switching loss and EMI |
| RθJC | 0.45°C/W - Enables >100 W power dissipation with active heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220 (3-pin, through-hole, isolated tab). The drain-connected tab provides direct thermal path to heatsink; source and gate pins are on the lead frame edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level signal; low input capacitance (Ciss = 4054 pF) minimizes driver loading |
| D (Drain) | High-side power node | Connected to heatsink tab; electrically tied to drain metallization for low-inductance thermal/power path |
| S (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common reference for gate drive and load current; enables standard high-side or low-side configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SDMOSTM trench process | Enables simultaneous optimization of RDS(ON), Qg, and Qrr - no trade-off between conduction and switching loss |
| 100% UIS testing | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy handling without derating - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive loads |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio (0.30 typ) | Improves Miller immunity and enables stable hard-switching up to 500 kHz |
| Soft-recovery body diode | trr = 26 ns with softness factor S > 1 - reduces voltage overshoot and EMI in freewheeling paths |
| 100% Rg tested | Ensures consistent gate resistance (0.2–0.7 Ω) for predictable turn-on/turn-off timing across production lots |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Industrial Motor Drive |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 48 V input to 12 V output step-down converter operating at 300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role: Primary synchronous rectifier switch handling 60 A continuous current. Use Value: Low RDS(ON) and Qg reduce conduction + switching losses; soft body diode eliminates need for external Schottky catch diode. |

Use Scenario: Inrush-limited hot-swap controller for 48 V line cards in telecom chassis. IC Role / Device Role: Main pass element in linear or hybrid hot-swap FET circuit. Use Value: Robust gate oxide (±25 V VGS) tolerates transient overvoltage; 105 A pulsed rating handles startup surge currents. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF1404PBF | RDS(ON) = 4 mΩ (lower), but Qg = 131 nC (2× higher); no UIS rating; TO-220 package | Lacks 100% UIS test and soft-body-diode specs - unsuitable for unclamped inductive switching | Select only for pure resistive or low-dI/dt loads where switching speed is secondary to RDS(ON) |
| STP80NF55-08 | RDS(ON) = 8.5 mΩ (higher), Qg = 120 nC (nearly 2×), Qrr = 220 nC (2× higher); TO-220 | Higher switching loss and slower recovery increase system EMI and thermal stress in high-frequency designs | Acceptable only in legacy 50–100 kHz designs where gate drive strength is abundant and diode recovery is not critical |
Compared with IRF1404PBF and STP80NF55-08, the AOT482L delivers superior balance of low RDS(ON), low Qg, and controlled body-diode recovery - making it optimal for modern high-frequency, high-reliability power stages where both efficiency and ruggedness are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the AOT482L at 100°C case temperature?
The AOT482L supports 82 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations under sustained high-temperature operation and must be validated against actual PCB layout, heatsink interface, and ambient conditions. The AOT482L maintains full functionality and UIS rating across this range.
Does the AOT482L have a specified gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
Yes, the AOT482L has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2.5–3.7 V at TJ = 25°C. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers while maintaining noise immunity. At elevated temperatures, VGS(th) decreases slightly, which is accounted for in the device's safe operating area curves.
Is the AOT482L suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V to 12 V buck converter?
Yes, the AOT482L is well-suited for synchronous rectification in that topology. Its RDS(ON) < 7.2 mΩ at 10 V gate drive minimizes conduction loss, while its Qg = 66.8 nC and fast switching times (tr = 18 ns, tf = 21 ns) enable efficient operation at 300–500 kHz. The soft-recovery body diode further reduces dead-time-related losses.
What thermal resistance values are specified for the AOT482L in TO-220 package?
The AOT482L specifies RθJC = 0.45°C/W (junction-to-case) and RθJA = 60°C/W (junction-to-ambient, measured on 1 in² FR-4 board with 2 oz copper). These values allow accurate thermal modeling: for example, at 100 W dissipation with a 2°C/W heatsink, junction temperature rise is ~47°C above case temperature.
How is the AOT482L's avalanche ruggedness verified, and what does "100% UIS tested" mean?
"100% UIS tested" means every AOT482L unit undergoes unclamped inductive switching stress per JEDEC JESD24-11, verifying minimum single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) capability. This ensures robustness against inductive kickback in motor drives and relay coils without requiring external protection components.
