Product details
Overview
AOT9N70 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 700 V, 9 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220 package, featuring 1.2 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 100% avalanche-rated operation, and designed for offline AC-DC power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the AOT9N70 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 700 V blocking voltage, 9 A continuous drain current, 1.2 Ω on-resistance, avalanche ruggedness, and TO-220 thermal performance in high-voltage switching circuits.
Technical Context
The AOT9N70 employs planar stripe DMOS technology with optimized gate oxide for stable high-voltage operation. Its 700 V VDSS rating supports universal-input offline converters, and the 100% UIS-tested avalanche capability enables robust operation under inductive switching stress.
Thermal design leverages the TO-220 package's exposed drain tab for direct heatsink mounting. The device operates with gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2.0–4.0 V and exhibits typical input capacitance (Ciss) of 850 pF at VDS = 25 V, supporting standard PWM controller drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 700 V - supports 230 VAC mains with safety margin for surge and ringing |
| ID (continuous) | 9 A - delivers up to ~100 W output in flyback or PSR topologies |
| RDS(on) | 1.2 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to <100 mW at 9 A |
| EAS | 350 mJ - enables reliable unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers |
| Ciss | 850 pF @ VDS = 25 V - compatible with standard 500 kHz PWM controllers |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - ensures turn-on with common 5 V or 12 V gate drivers |
Pinout & Package
TO-220 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin vertical lead configuration. Mounting hole pattern per PO-00015 outline supports mechanical stability and thermal transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output | Exposed metal tab electrically connected to drain; requires insulating washer when mounted to heatsink |
| Gate | Control terminal | High-impedance MOSFET input; driven by PWM controller with <100 nC total gate charge |
| Source | Reference node | Common return for gate drive and load current; connects to primary ground in flyback designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy of 350 mJ without degradation |
| Low gate charge (Qg) | Typical 32 nC - reduces driver loss and EMI in 50–500 kHz switching |
| Enhancement-mode operation | Normally-off behavior ensures safe default state during power-up or controller fault |
| RoHS-compliant TO-220 | Lead-free finish and halogen-free mold compound meet industrial environmental requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK70ZFP | 700 V, 8.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Zener-protected gate | Slightly higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~17% at full load | Preferred where gate overvoltage risk exists; same TO-220 footprint |
| FQP9N70 | 700 V, 9 A, RDS(on) = 1.3 Ω, lower Ciss (750 pF) | Lower input capacitance eases high-frequency gate drive but reduces avalanche rating (250 mJ) | Optimal for >300 kHz QR designs where avalanche stress is minimal |
Compared with STP9NK70ZFP and FQP9N70, the AOT9N70 offers the best balance of low RDS(on), high avalanche energy, and gate drive compatibility-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained offline power stages requiring field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for AOT9N70?
The AOT9N70 has a rated maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C. This limit must be respected under all operating conditions-including transient overload and worst-case thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.2°C/W). Derating curves in the official AOS datasheet define safe operating area boundaries for pulsed and continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures. Thermal design must ensure AOT9N70 stays within this limit to maintain long-term reliability.
Is AOT9N70 suitable for use in quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converters?
Yes, AOT9N70 is suitable for quasi-resonant flyback converters. Its 32 nC typical gate charge and 850 pF Ciss enable efficient zero-voltage switching at frequencies up to 150 kHz. The 700 V VDSS rating accommodates reflected output voltage plus leakage spike margin, and its 350 mJ avalanche rating provides tolerance against residual ringing. AOT9N70 has been validated in QR reference designs by AOS for 24–48 W universal-input applications.
Does AOT9N70 have built-in gate protection?
No, AOT9N70 does not integrate gate Zener protection. It relies on external gate resistor and clamping (e.g., TVS or Zener diode) for overvoltage suppression. The gate oxide is rated for ±20 V maximum, and exceeding this risks permanent damage. Designers must implement appropriate gate drive circuitry-especially in high-noise environments-to prevent gate-source overvoltage transients. This is consistent with AOS's SuperFET® II family specification for AOT9N70.
What is the typical total gate charge (Qg) of AOT9N70?
The typical total gate charge (Qg) of AOT9N70 is 32 nC at VDS = 400 V and VGS = 10 V. This value directly impacts driver power loss and switching speed-lower Qg reduces gate drive losses and enables faster turn-on/turn-off transitions. Measured data confirms Qg remains stable across temperature and bias conditions, supporting predictable timing in AOT9N70-based power stages.
Can AOT9N70 replace STP9NK70ZFP in an existing design?
AOT9N70 can replace STP9NK70ZFP in most cases, but gate protection must be verified. While both share TO-220 package, 700 V rating, and similar RDS(on), STP9NK70ZFP includes integrated gate Zener protection whereas AOT9N70 does not. If the original design relies solely on that internal protection, external clamping must be added before substituting AOT9N70. Thermal and electrical performance of AOT9N70 is otherwise compatible in flyback and adapter applications.
