Product details
Overview
AOZ1356LI-01 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a 5V/3A ECPower™ protection switch with True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB), programmable current limit (3.5A max), 34mΩ typical RON, and USB PD Fast Role Swap support. It operates from 3.4V–5.5V input, features 28V-rated VOUT, thermal shutdown at 140°C (20°C hysteresis), and targets USB PD power source switching in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ1356LI-01 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its auto-restart fault recovery mode, fast turn-on time (≤100µs), TRCB response (600ns), FRS-compliant 80µs recovery, and WLCSP-12 package compatibility with high-density USB-C power path layouts.
Technical Context
The AOZ1356LI-01 integrates a low-RON N-channel MOSFET power switch with independent UVLO (3.25V threshold, 150mV hysteresis), OVP (5.8V threshold, 250mV hysteresis), and thermal shutdown (140°C/120°C hysteresis) circuits. Its control logic enables simultaneous enforcement of over-current (programmed via ILIM pin), reverse-current blocking (trip at +25mV VOUT–VIN), and fast role swap timing.
It implements dual-mode enable control: EN pin activates the switch only when VIN exceeds UVLO, while FON pin overrides normal soft-start to achieve ≤100µs fast turn-on and enables immediate recovery from TRCB events in 80µs. The FLTB open-drain fault indicator reports OCP and thermal faults after 12ms and immediate assertion respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V–5.5V - Valid for USB 5V supply rails with ±10% tolerance and brown-out immunity |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A - Sustained load capability with external RLIM resistor programming and thermal derating |
| RON (Typical) | 34mΩ - Enables <170mW conduction loss at 3A, critical for thermal management in compact WLCSP |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - Auto-restarts at ~120°C, preventing latch-off during transient overloads |
| TRCB Response Time | 600ns - Blocks reverse current before system-level damage occurs during hot-plug or adapter swap |
| Fast Turn-On Time | 50–100µs - Meets USB PD 3.0 Fast Role Swap requirement for VOUT ≥4.75V within 80µs |
| Quiescent Current | 125µA active / 6µA shutdown - Minimizes battery drain in always-on USB-C power delivery paths |
Pinout & Package
AOZ1356LI-01 uses a 1.31mm × 1.81mm WLCP (WLCSP-12) package with 0.4mm pitch and 12 solder bumps. Thermal resistance is 84°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1A, 1B, 1C) | Power input supply rail | Internally tied inputs accepting 3.4–5.5V; connects to internal regulator and gate drive |
| GND (2A, 2B, 2C) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for switch current and control circuitry; requires solid ground plane |
| VOUT (3A, 3B) | Switched output power rail | 28V absolute max rating; delivers regulated 5V to USB-C port or downstream load |
| EN (3D) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (1.4V threshold); toggling clears faults in auto-restart mode |
| FON (3C) | Fast-On control input | Active-high signal enabling sub-100µs turn-on and immediate TRCB recovery; internally pulled down |
| ILIM (2D) | Current limit set node | Analog input accepting 0–2V; sets trip threshold via external 1% resistor (e.g., 14.3kΩ = 1A) |
| FLTB (1D) | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low on OCP (12ms delay) or thermal shutdown; requires external 5V pull-up (RFLTB) |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCK127BG, Toshiba | Fixed 3A current limit; no FON pin or Fast Role Swap support; 45mΩ RON; 1.2mm × 1.6mm WCSP-9 | Lacks USB PD FRS compliance and programmable current limit; suited for simpler fixed-limit USB switches | Select when FRS is unnecessary and board space allows larger package with lower integration |

FAQ
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and hysteresis for AOZ1356LI-01?
The AOZ1356LI-01 triggers thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 140°C and includes a 20°C hysteresis, meaning it automatically resumes operation when the die temperature falls to approximately 120°C. This auto-restart behavior is specific to the AOZ1356LI-01 variant and enables recovery without host intervention after transient overloads, distinguishing it from latch-off variants like AOZ1356LI-02.
How does AOZ1356LI-01 support USB PD Fast Role Swap?
The AOZ1356LI-01 supports USB PD Fast Role Swap through two synchronized mechanisms: the FON pin enables ≤100µs fast turn-on, and its True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB) circuit recovers in 80µs after fault removal. Together, these ensure VOUT reaches ≥4.75V within the USB PD 3.0 FRS timing budget. This capability is validated in the AOZ1356LI-01's functional block diagram and timing diagrams on pages 5–6 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum current limit setting achievable with AOZ1356LI-01?
The AOZ1356LI-01 supports a maximum current limit of 3.92A (typical) using a 4.02kΩ 1% resistor on the ILIM pin, per the equation ILIM = 14300 / RLIM (A). At this setting, the device sustains 3.5A continuous output current under thermal limits. Higher values are not supported-the datasheet specifies 3.08–3.92A as the valid range for RLIM = 4.02kΩ, confirming 3.92A as the upper bound for AOZ1356LI-01.
Does AOZ1356LI-01 provide reverse-current blocking in both enabled and disabled states?
Yes, AOZ1356LI-01 implements True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB) that operates regardless of EN pin state. When VOUT exceeds VIN by +25mV, the internal switch turns off within 600ns to prevent backfeed-even if EN is low. Recovery occurs when VIN exceeds VOUT by 40mV, enabling safe hot-plug and adapter swapping. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the Functional Description section (page 12) and Figure 10 of the AOZ1356LI-01 datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does AOZ1356LI-01 use?
The AOZ1356LI-01 uses a WLCP (Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package) with 12 solder bumps, measuring 1.31mm × 1.81mm and 0.4mm pitch. Its thermal resistance is 84°C/W, and it complies with RoHS standards. Package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications are detailed on pages 14–15 of the official AOZ1356LI datasheet, confirming the exact footprint and assembly requirements for AOZ1356LI-01.
