Product details
Overview
AOZ1356DI-06 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a latch-off mode 5V/3.5A ECPower™ protection switch with True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB), USB PD Fast Role Swap support, and integrated over-voltage (5.75–5.9V), over-current (programmable via RLIM), thermal shutdown (140°C), and short-circuit protection. It operates from 3.6V to 5.3V input, delivers up to 3.5A continuous load current, and features 39mΩ typical RON, enabling use in USB PD power source switching for portable computing.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ1356DI-06 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its latch-off fault recovery behavior, 3.6–5.3V operating range, programmable current limit (e.g., 1A with 14.3kΩ RLIM), TRCB trip point (25mV), and fast turn-on time (50–100µs) under FON activation - all critical for USB PD 3.0 Fast Role Swap compliance in notebook and tablet power delivery paths.
Technical Context
The AOZ1356DI-06 implements a high-side NMOS power switch with integrated charge pump gate drive, UVLO (3.2–3.55V rising), OVP (5.75–5.9V), and TRCB circuitry that disables conduction when VOUT exceeds VVIN by 25mV and re-enables at 40mV hysteresis. Its latch-off fault response requires EN toggle or VIN recycle to clear FLTB after OCP, SCP, or TSD events.
It supports USB PD Fast Role Swap via FON pin: when asserted high before EN, it bypasses soft-start and disables OCP blanking to achieve ≤100µs VOUT rise to 4.75V. The 12-pin DFN3x3 package integrates an exposed thermal pad tied to GND, enabling 50°C/W θJA and stable operation at 85°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 5.3V - matches USB PD 5V fixed voltage profile with margin for line drop and ripple. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3.5A - supports high-power USB-C sink-to-source role swap without external current sensing. |
| RON (Typical) | 39mΩ - limits conduction loss to ≤0.48W at 3.5A, reducing thermal stress in compact DFN3x3 layout. |
| TRCB Trip Threshold | 25mV - prevents reverse current during VBUS arbitration or adapter hot-plug without diode forward drop penalty. |
| Fault Recovery Mode | Latch-off - requires explicit EN toggle or VIN cycle to reset FLTB after over-current, short-circuit, or thermal shutdown. |
| OVP Threshold | 5.75–5.9V - protects downstream 5V logic from USB PD voltage negotiation overshoot or adapter faults. |
| Quiescent Current | 6µA in shutdown - enables low-power system standby without compromising protection readiness. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ1356DI-06 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3mm × 3mm DFN-12L package with exposed thermal pad (EXP) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management. Pin 1–3 (VOUT), Pin 10–12 (VIN), and Pin 7 (GND) are internally bonded in parallel to reduce resistance and inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | VOUT | Power output terminal rated to 28V absolute max; pins internally paralleled for low-impedance VBUS path in USB PD applications. |
| 4 | FLTB | Open-drain fault indicator; pulled low on OCP, SCP, or TSD; requires external 5V pull-up for host MCU monitoring. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 6 | FON | Fast-On control; active-high signal enabling ≤100µs turn-on and disabling OCP blanking for USB PD FRS timing compliance. |
| 7 | GND | Power and signal reference ground; connects directly to EXP thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| 8 | ILIM | Current limit set node; connects to 1% RLIM resistor to GND to program ILIM from 0.5A to 4.0A per datasheet Table 1. |
| 9 | EN | Enable input; active-high logic control with 1.4V threshold; toggle required to clear latched faults in AOZ1356DI-06. |
| 10, 11, 12 | VIN | Supply input; pins internally paralleled to handle full 3.5A input current with minimal IR drop. |
| EXP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground connection; must be soldered to multi-layer PCB ground plane with ≥6 vias for θJA = 50°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB PD Fast Role Swap Support | Enables ≤100µs VOUT recovery to >4.75V after role reversal via FON pin, meeting USB PD 3.0 spec without external timing components. |
| True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB) | Blocks reverse flow from VOUT to VIN at 25mV differential, eliminating need for external Schottky diode and saving board space and BOM cost. |
| Programmable Current Limit | Set via single 1% resistor (e.g., 14.3kΩ → 1.0A ILIM); supports precise over-current protection across diverse load profiles without firmware intervention. |
| Latch-Off Fault Response | Prevents automatic restart after critical faults (OCP/SCP/TSD), ensuring system-level fault handling and avoiding uncontrolled power cycling in safety-critical paths. |
| Integrated Protection Suite | Combines UVLO (3.2–3.55V), OVP (5.75–5.9V), SCP (270mV detection), and TSD (140°C) in one device, reducing discrete protection component count by ≥4. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side protection switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCK127G | 3.0–5.5V input, 3.5A, 45mΩ RON, auto-restart only, no FRS support, 6-pin WSON. | Lacks USB PD Fast Role Swap timing and TRCB; suited for basic load switching where latch-off and FRS are not required. | Select TCK127G only if USB PD 3.0 compliance is unnecessary and board space allows larger 2×2mm WSON vs. DFN3x3. |
| TPS22975 | 2.5–5.5V input, 4A, 29mΩ RON, auto-restart only, no TRCB, 12-pin WQFN, integrated 1.2V LDO. | Offers lower RON but no reverse-current blocking or FRS; requires external diode for TRCB and cannot meet USB PD FRS timing. | Choose TPS22975 when ultra-low conduction loss is prioritized over USB PD role-swap capability and reverse blocking. |

FAQ
What is the input voltage range specification for AOZ1356DI-06?
The AOZ1356DI-06 operates from 3.6V to 5.3V on VIN, with under-voltage lockout (UVLO) activating below 3.2V (rising) and releasing at 3.45V (falling). This range is specifically tuned for USB PD 5V fixed voltage profiles and excludes the wider 3.4–5.5V range used by AOZ1356DI-01/-02 variants. The AOZ1356DI-06 datasheet specifies these values on Page 3 under Recommended Operating Ratings.
How does AOZ1356DI-06 implement True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB)?
The AOZ1356DI-06 detects reverse current by monitoring the VOUT–VVIN differential; it disables the power switch when this difference exceeds 25mV (typical) and re-enables at 40mV hysteresis. This TRCB function operates independently in both enabled and disabled states, eliminating the need for external reverse-blocking diodes. The AOZ1356DI-06 achieves 600ns response time and 80µs fast recovery, as confirmed in Electrical Characteristics (Page 4) and Functional Description (Page 13).
What fault recovery behavior does AOZ1356DI-06 exhibit after over-current or thermal shutdown?
AOZ1356DI-06 uses latch-off fault recovery: once triggered by over-current, short-circuit, or thermal shutdown, the device remains off until the EN pin is toggled low-then-high or the VIN supply is cycled. This differs from auto-restart versions (e.g., AOZ1356DI-01) and ensures system-level fault acknowledgment. The AOZ1356DI-06 datasheet explicitly confirms this behavior in the Ordering Information table (Page 2) and Functional Description (Page 14).
How is current limit programmed on AOZ1356DI-06, and what resistor values are supported?
Current limit on AOZ1356DI-06 is set via a 1% resistor (RLIM) between ILIM pin and GND. Supported thresholds range from 0.5A (40.2kΩ) to 4.0A (3.52kΩ), with exact values tabulated in Table 1 (Page 13). For example, a 14.3kΩ resistor sets ILIM to 1.0A. The AOZ1356DI-06 datasheet specifies ILIM accuracy as ±10% over temperature and notes foldback to 92% of setpoint during sustained overload.
Does AOZ1356DI-06 support USB PD Fast Role Swap, and what design requirements enable it?
Yes, AOZ1356DI-06 supports USB PD Fast Role Swap (FRS) when the FON pin is driven high before EN assertion. This enables ≤100µs VOUT rise to 4.75V (Figure 2, Page 6) and fast TRCB recovery in 80µs (Figure 3, Page 6), satisfying USB PD 3.0 timing requirements. The AOZ1356DI-06 datasheet confirms FRS capability in the General Description (Page 1) and Functional Description (Page 14), noting FON must be asserted ≥100µs before EN.
