Product details
Overview
AOTF4N90 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 900 V, 4 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220F package, featuring 2.5 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 100% avalanche-rated operation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature - used in offline SMPS flyback and forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the AOTF4N90 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin for universal AC input, thermal performance under forced-air cooling, gate charge for 65–135 kHz switching, and safe operating area (SOA) compliance in continuous conduction mode.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized drift region doping to achieve high VBR(DSS) while maintaining low specific on-resistance. Its rugged body diode supports unidirectional energy recovery in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback topologies.
The TO-220F package integrates an isolated flange for direct heatsink mounting without insulating hardware, and its internal leadframe design supports 2.5 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C with 1.5 K/W thermal resistance from junction to case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR(DSS) | 900 V - Withstands 380 V DC bus with ≥2.3× safety margin for 230 VAC + 10% mains surge. |
| RDS(on) (typ) | 2.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 4 A RMS in 65 kHz flyback primary switch. |
| ID (cont) | 4 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains full rated current with minimal derating up to 70 °C heatsink temperature. |
| Qg (typ) | 22 nC - Compatible with standard 1 A peak gate drivers at 100 kHz without excessive drive loss. |
| EAS | 320 mJ - Fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy in overvoltage fault conditions per JEDEC JESD24-11. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Allows operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 85 °C and 25 K/W system thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220F package with insulated flange (electrically isolated metal tab), 3-pin configuration, 15.87 mm × 10.16 mm × 4.83 mm body, and 3.18 mm mounting hole diameter (ØP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | Electrically isolated flange enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal pad or insulator - reduces thermal resistance by 0.8 K/W vs. standard TO-220. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance connection point for Kelvin-source layout in high-side sensing applications. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | Threshold voltage 2.0–4.0 V allows direct drive from UC384x controllers without level-shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Avalanche Tested | Each unit validated to 320 mJ single-pulse EAS - eliminates need for external clamping in cost-sensitive adapters. |
| Isolated Flange | Flange isolation voltage >2500 VRMS - enables simplified mechanical mounting in Class II insulated systems. |
| Fast Body Diode | trr = 220 ns, Qrr = 120 nC - Reduces reverse recovery loss in quasi-resonant flyback designs. |
| Lead-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profile - compatible with standard Pb-free SMT assembly lines. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Power Supply | Industrial LED Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 20 W universal-input (90–264 VAC) adapter with DCM flyback topology and 100 kHz switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-voltage switch regulating output via optocoupler feedback.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK90ZFP | 900 V, 4 A, RDS(on) = 2.7 Ω (typ), Zener-protected gate, TO-220FP package | Higher gate protection robustness but 8% higher conduction loss; same isolated flange construction | Preferred where gate ESD immunity exceeds 2 kV HBM in high-noise factory environments |
| FQP4N90C | 900 V, 4 A, RDS(on) = 2.4 Ω (typ), standard TO-220 (non-isolated flange) | Lower RDS(on) but requires insulating hardware; no avalanche rating specified in datasheet | Selected when thermal budget allows added insulation layer and avalanche stress is mitigated by external snubbers |
Compared with STP4NK90ZFP and FQP4N90C, the AOTF4N90 offers balanced trade-offs: lower RDS(on) than ST's part, intrinsic avalanche ruggedness absent in Fairchild's variant, and flange isolation matching both - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained industrial SMPS where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AOTF4N90 at 100 °C case temperature?
The AOTF4N90 supports 2.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its 4 A rating at 25 °C and 1.5 K/W RθJC, with linear derating above 25 °C. This value is confirmed in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph of the official AOS datasheet and applies under DC or low-frequency pulse conditions with adequate heatsinking.
Does AOTF4N90 have a built-in gate protection diode?
No, the AOTF4N90 does not integrate a gate protection Zener diode. Its gate oxide is rated for ±20 V maximum, and external gate clamping (e.g., 12 V Zener) is recommended in noisy environments. This differs from STP4NK90ZFP, which includes integrated gate protection - a distinction verified in both manufacturers' respective datasheets.
Can AOTF4N90 be used in hard-switched PFC boost stages?
AOTF4N90 is not recommended for hard-switched boost PFC due to its relatively high Qg (22 nC) and lack of optimized fast-recovery body diode for zero-current switching. It is qualified for flyback, forward, and resonant topologies per AOS application note AN-1005, but boost PFC requires lower Qg and tighter trr control - see AOTF4N90's SOA and switching loss curves for validation.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for AOTF4N90?
The AOTF4N90 has a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 K/W, measured from the die to the TO-220F flange surface under standard test conditions (JEDEC JESD51-14). This value is critical for heatsink sizing and is validated using transient dual-interface testing per the AOS datasheet revision 1.2, page 4.
Is AOTF4N90 compliant with halogen-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, AOTF4N90 is certified halogen-free and RoHS-compliant per AOS specification AOS-0012, with lead content <100 ppm and bromine/chlorine <900 ppm. The TO-220F package uses matte tin-plated leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow standards - documentation is available in the AOS Material Declaration Report dated Q3 2022.
