Product details
Overview
AOZ1373DI-01 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a high-side protection switch with true reverse-current blocking (TRCB), programmable over-voltage protection, and auto-restart fault recovery. It operates from 3.4V to 22V input, delivers 39mΩ typical RON, supports up to 3.5A DC load current, and is rated for 28V absolute maximum on VIN/VOUT - designed specifically for USB Type-C PD power path control in portable and docking systems.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ1373DI-01 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 26mV TRCB threshold, 64ms auto-restart interval, -40°C to +85°C operating range, 3mm × 3mm DFN-12L package with exposed thermal pad, and ±8kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD rating on VIN/VOUT.
Technical Context
The AOZ1373DI-01 integrates dual back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to enable bidirectional isolation and true reverse-current blocking at all times. Its control logic monitors VIN for UVLO (3.35V typ), OVP (selectable via POVP resistor), and die temperature (140°C shutdown with 30°C hysteresis), while FLTB provides open-drain fault signaling.
Soft-start is implemented via external capacitor (CSS) on SS pin, enabling linear VOUT ramp-up with programmable slew rate; ENB is active-low with 0.6V logic-low threshold and internal pull-down. The device uses an internal 8µA current source on POVP to set OVP thresholds - 24V when POVP = 0V, 5.8V when POVP = open.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 22V - supports full USB PD 3.0 voltage range and legacy 5V/12V rails. |
| RON (Typical) | 39mΩ at 20V - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise under 3.5A load. |
| TRCB Threshold | 26mV (VOUT − VIN) - blocks reverse current before parasitic body diode conduction begins. |
| OVP Recovery | Auto-restart every 64ms - enables self-clearing fault handling without host intervention. |
| Ambient Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable computing environments. |
| ESD Rating (VIN/VOUT) | ±8kV HBM per IEC61000-4-2 - meets USB interface surge immunity requirements. |
| Package | 3mm × 3mm DFN-12L with exposed thermal pad - enables compact layout and efficient PCB heat dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ1373DI-01 is housed in a 3mm × 3mm DFN-12L package with exposed thermal pad (EXP) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal performance. Pin 1–2 and 11–12 are paralleled VOUT and VIN terminals respectively; pins 8–10 are no-connect and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pins 1, 2) | Switch output terminal | Connects to downstream load (e.g., USB VBUS rail); supports 28V abs max and ±8kV ESD. |
| POVP (Pin 3) | OVP threshold programming node | Accepts external resistor to set OVP threshold (0V → 24V; open → 5.8V) using internal 8µA bias current. |
| FLTB (Pin 4) | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low during UVLO, OVP, TRCB, or thermal shutdown; requires external pull-up for system monitoring. |
| ENB (Pin 5) | Active-low enable input | Logic low ≤0.6V enables switch; internal 10µA pull-down ensures default-off state when un-driven. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal reference | Common return for internal circuitry, FLTB, SS, and POVP; connects to EXP thermal pad. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start timing node | External capacitor (CSS) sets VOUT ramp time; formula tSS ≈ 0.0023 × (VIN − VOVP) × CSS (µs). |
| VIN (Pins 11, 12) | Switch input terminal | Connects to upstream power source (e.g., PD controller output); supports 28V abs max and ±8kV ESD. |
| EXP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to multi-layer PCB ground plane with multiple vias to achieve θJA = 54°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Reverse Current Blocking (TRCB) | Blocks reverse conduction at 26mV VOUT–VIN differential - eliminates need for external blocking diode in USB PD sink paths. |
| Programmable Over-Voltage Protection | Two-point OVP setting (5.8V or 24V) via single resistor on POVP - supports both 5V and 20V PD profiles without firmware change. |
| Auto-Restart Fault Recovery | 64ms fixed restart interval after fault clears - maintains power continuity in transient overvoltage events without host re-enabling. |
| Adjustable Soft-Start Slew Rate | Linear VOUT ramp controlled by CSS capacitor - prevents inrush into large downstream capacitance (e.g., 120µF COUT). |
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | 140°C trip with 30°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in compact enclosures. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Docking Station | Portable Laptop Power Switch |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS25940ARVCR | 40V abs max, 32mΩ RON, integrated current sensing, no TRCB, 1.2ms OVP response | Requires external reverse-blocking diode; better suited for current-monitoring designs than pure PD isolation | Select when precise load current reporting is required and TRCB is handled elsewhere in BOM. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | 28V abs max, 45mΩ RON, latch-off fault mode, no programmable OVP, 15mV TRCB threshold | Latch-off behavior demands host GPIO toggle to clear faults - increases firmware overhead vs. AOZ1373DI-01's auto-restart | Select when system-level fault management mandates explicit reset control and tighter TRCB threshold is critical. |
Compared with TPS25940ARVCR and RTQ2132BGQW, AOZ1373DI-01 uniquely combines 26mV TRCB, 64ms auto-restart, and dual-point OVP in a 3×3mm DFN - simplifying USB-C PD designs where reverse feed prevention and autonomous surge recovery are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the POVP pin on AOZ1373DI-01?
The POVP pin on AOZ1373DI-01 sets the over-voltage protection threshold using an external resistor. An internal 8µA current source biases POVP, producing two selectable OVP points: 24V when POVP is grounded, or 5.8V when POVP is left open. This allows AOZ1373DI-01 to adapt to different USB PD voltage profiles without changing firmware or hardware topology.
How does AOZ1373DI-01 implement True Reverse Current Blocking?
AOZ1373DI-01 implements True Reverse Current Blocking (TRCB) by detecting when VOUT exceeds VIN by just 26mV and immediately turning off the internal back-to-back MOSFETs. This occurs before the body diodes conduct, eliminating reverse leakage entirely. The FLTB pin asserts low within 500ns of TRCB activation, enabling rapid system-level fault response in AOZ1373DI-01 designs.
What is the difference between AOZ1373DI-01 and AOZ1373DI-02?
AOZ1373DI-01 features auto-restart fault recovery with a fixed 64ms restart interval after fault clearance, while AOZ1373DI-02 uses latch-off behavior requiring manual ENB toggle or power cycle to resume operation. Both share identical RON, TRCB, OVP, and thermal specs, but AOZ1373DI-01 reduces system firmware complexity in transient-heavy environments like USB-C docks.
What thermal design guidance applies to AOZ1373DI-01?
AOZ1373DI-01 requires the exposed thermal pad (EXP) to be soldered directly to a multi-layer PCB ground plane with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to inner ground layers. The recommended land pattern matches the 3mm × 3mm DFN-12L footprint, and achieving θJA = 54°C/W depends on ≥250mm² of continuous copper under EXP - critical for sustaining 3.5A loads at +85°C ambient in AOZ1373DI-01 implementations.
Can AOZ1373DI-01 be used in 5V-only applications?
Yes, AOZ1373DI-01 supports 3.4V to 22V input and functions reliably at 5V nominal operation. Its UVLO activates below 3.35V, ensuring clean startup, and RON rises only marginally to 41mΩ at 5V - still enabling <100mW loss at 1.5A. The 26mV TRCB threshold and ±8kV ESD rating make AOZ1373DI-01 especially valuable in 5V USB-C dongles where reverse feed and ESD robustness are critical.
