Product details
Overview
AOTF6N90 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 900 V, 6 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220F package, featuring 1.2 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 45 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the AOTF6N90 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, conduction loss at 6 A DC, thermal resistance under forced-air cooling, and compatibility with standard TO-220F heatsink mounting footprints.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching operation. Its 900 V VDSS rating supports universal-input AC/DC front-end designs, while the 1.2 Ω RDS(on) enables efficient conduction at 6 A continuous drain current with junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W.
The device integrates an internal fast-recovery body diode (trr = 220 ns) and is qualified per JEDEC JESD47 for industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), supporting reliable operation in flyback, forward, and active clamp converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 900 V - Supports 380 VAC rectified input with ≥2× safety margin in offline power supplies |
| ID (continuous) | 6 A - Sustains full-load current in 100–150 W SMPS without derating at TC = 100 °C |
| RDS(on) | 1.2 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers <1.5 W conduction loss at 6 A, enabling compact heatsink design |
| Qg | 45 nC - Matches standard PWM controllers (e.g., UC384x) without requiring gate driver boost |
| trr | 220 ns - Limits reverse recovery loss during hard-switched turn-on in discontinuous mode |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Enables direct mounting to aluminum heatsink with ≤15 °C temperature rise at 6 A |
Pinout & Package
TO-220F package with insulated tab (non-conductive backside), 3-pin single-ended configuration, and standardized 2.54 mm lead pitch compatible with IPC-7351B footprint TO220F_3_Horizontal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically connected to metal tab - must be isolated from heatsink via mica washer or thermal pad rated ≥900 V |
| Gate | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; requires 45 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (HBM 2 kV) |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) Rated | Withstands repetitive avalanche energy up to 150 mJ without degradation - eliminates need for snubbers in flyback primary switches |
| Fast Body Diode Recovery | 220 ns trr reduces switching loss and ringing in quasi-resonant topologies |
| Low Gate Charge | 45 nC Qg allows direct drive from UC3845 or TL494 without external buffer stage |
| Enhancement-Mode Operation | Zero gate current at steady state - eliminates static power draw in standby mode |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | LED Driver Front-End |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 120–277 VAC input offline flyback converter delivering 48 V/2 A for commercial LED troffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-voltage switch controlling energy transfer into transformer; operates at 65 kHz with duty cycle modulation. Use Value: 900 V VDSS accommodates 380 VDC peak line plus surge margin; 1.2 Ω RDS(on) keeps conduction loss below 1.5 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting with active PFC stage preceding LLC resonant output stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Boost switch in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC controller (e.g., UCC28070). Use Value: 45 nC Qg ensures minimal gate drive loss at 100 kHz; UIS rating prevents failure during line transients. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK90ZFP | 900 V, 5.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, TO-220FP package | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~17% at 6 A; identical thermal resistance | Acceptable where 0.2 Ω higher on-resistance is tolerable and ST's Zener-protected gate is preferred |
| IXTH6N90L2 | 900 V, 6 A, RDS(on) = 1.3 Ω, Qg = 52 nC, TO-247 package | Higher gate charge demands stronger driver; larger TO-247 footprint requires PCB redesign | Preferred when higher avalanche energy (220 mJ) justifies layout change and thermal margin is critical |
Compared with STP6NK90ZFP and IXTH6N90L2, the AOTF6N90 delivers lowest conduction loss in TO-220F form factor while maintaining industry-standard gate drive compatibility and avalanche robustness - ideal for space-constrained 100–150 W industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the AOTF6N90?
The AOTF6N90 is rated for continuous operation up to +150 °C junction temperature per JEDEC JESD47 qualification. This allows full 6 A current capability at case temperatures ≤100 °C when mounted on a heatsink with ≤15 °C/W system thermal resistance. Derating begins above 100 °C case temperature, and the AOTF6N90 must not exceed 150 °C under any transient condition.
Does the AOTF6N90 require a gate resistor for standard PWM controller drive?
Yes - a 10–22 Ω gate resistor is recommended between the PWM controller output (e.g., UC3845) and the AOTF6N90 gate to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current. The AOTF6N90's 45 nC total gate charge interacts with PCB trace inductance; omitting the resistor may cause overshoot exceeding 20 V and induce false turn-on during high dv/dt events.
Can the AOTF6N90 replace the STP6NK90ZFP without PCB changes?
Yes - the AOTF6N90 uses the same TO-220F package outline and pinout as the STP6NK90ZFP, including identical mounting hole pattern and tab insulation. Both devices share 3-pin drain-gate-source assignment and 2.54 mm lead pitch, enabling direct drop-in replacement without layout modification or solder mask adjustment.
What is the typical reverse recovery time of the AOTF6N90 body diode?
The AOTF6N90 body diode exhibits a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 220 ns under test conditions of IF = 6 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, and TJ = 25 °C. This value remains stable across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and directly impacts switching loss in hard-commutated topologies like flyback and forward converters.
Is the AOTF6N90 suitable for use in PFC boost stages?
Yes - the AOTF6N90 is widely deployed in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC boost stages operating up to 100 kHz. Its 900 V rating provides headroom for 400 VDC bus plus 100 V surge, while the 1.2 Ω RDS(on) and 45 nC Qg balance conduction and switching losses. The AOTF6N90's UIS rating also protects against line-induced overvoltage events common in PFC applications.
