Product details
Overview
AOZ1380DI from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a dual-function USB Type-C PD protection switch integrating independent 20mΩ sink and 39mΩ source back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs in a single DFN-20L package. It delivers 10A continuous sink current, 3.4–22V sink input range, and programmable 500mA–3.5A source current limit for bidirectional power path control in portable notebooks and ultrabooks.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ1380DI datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device supports Fast Role Swap (FRS), True Reverse Current Blocking (TRCB) in both modes, adjustable soft-start (sink), and open-drain fault flags (FLTB_SNK/FLTB_SRC) critical for USB PD compliance and system-level fault management.
Technical Context
The AOZ1380DI implements two independent, back-to-back N-MOSFET power switches with separate gate drive and charge pump circuits - one optimized for high-voltage sink operation (VBUS→VCHG, 3.4–22V, 20mΩ), the other for low-voltage source operation (V5V→VBUS, 3.4–5.5V, 39mΩ). Each path includes dedicated UVLO, OVLO, thermal shutdown, and TRCB detection logic.
Sink mode uses active-low ENB_SNK with external soft-start capacitor (CSS) and programmable POVP-based OVP (5.8V or 24V); source mode uses active-high EN_SRC, FON-controlled fast turn-on (<100µs), and ILIM-set current limiting. Fault reporting is isolated: FLTB_SNK asserts on sink OVP/TRCB/thermal events; FLTB_SRC asserts on source OCP/thermal faults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sink ON Resistance | 20mΩ - Enables ≤10A continuous conduction with <200mW I²R loss at full load. |
| Source ON Resistance | 39mΩ - Supports up to 3.5A source current while limiting conduction loss to <480mW. |
| Sink Operating Voltage | 3.4V to 22V - Covers full USB PD 3.0 sink range including 20V PPS profiles. |
| Source Input Range | 3.4V to 5.5V - Matches standard 5V buck-regulated bus for Type-C source operation. |
| TRCB Threshold (Sink) | 26mV - Blocks reverse current before VCHG exceeds VBUS by >26mV, preventing battery backfeed. |
| TRCB Threshold (Source) | 25mV trip / 40mV release - Ensures clean isolation during VBUS pre-bias and rapid recovery post-TRCB. |
| Fault Response Time | 1µs OVP delay (sink), 10ms OCP delay (source) - Enables precise fault containment without false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ1380DI is housed in a thermally enhanced 3mm × 5.2mm DFN-20L package with an electrically isolated exposed thermal pad (EXP) serving as the common drain node for both sink switches. The package supports -40°C to +85°C ambient operation and features 36°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on AOS evaluation board layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,10) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal bias and control circuits; must be low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| V5V (Pins 3,4) | Source input supply | Accepts regulated 3.4–5.5V rail; powers source-path control logic and gate drivers. |
| VCHG (Pins 5,6) | Sink output | Delivers regulated VBUS-derived power to battery charger IC; rated 28V absolute max. |
| VBUS (Pins 14–17) | Common power bus | Shared terminal connecting to USB-C connector; routed internally to VCHG (sink) or V5V (source). |
| ENB_SNK (Pin 9) | Sink enable input | Active-low signal enabling sink path; supports dead-battery operation when pulled low. |
| EN_SRC (Pin 18) | Source enable input | Active-high signal enabling source path; synchronized with FON for Fast Role Swap. |
| FON (Pin 20) | FRS control | Disables internal soft-start and reduces turn-on delay to <100µs for PD role swap compliance. |
| FLTB_SNK (Pin 8) | Sink fault flag | Open-drain output pulled low on sink OVP, TRCB, or thermal fault; requires external pull-up. |
| FLTB_SRC (Pin 19) | Source fault flag | Open-drain output pulled low on source OCP or thermal fault; independent of sink fault reporting. |
| EXP | Exposed thermal pad | Common drain node for sink MOSFETs; must be soldered to isolated copper pour with multiple vias for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Reverse Current Blocking (TRCB) | 26mV threshold in sink mode and 25mV/40mV hysteresis in source mode - prevents backfeed during dead-battery or pre-biased VBUS conditions. |
| Fast Role Swap (FRS) support | FON pin enables <100µs source turn-on with disabled soft-start - meets USB PD 3.0 FRS timing requirements. |
| Programmable sink OVP | POVP pin selects 5.8V (floating) or 24V (grounded) threshold - accommodates legacy 5V and PD 20V sink protection needs. |
| Adjustable source current limit | ILIM pin accepts resistor (4.02kΩ–14.3kΩ) to set OCP threshold from 0.9A to 3.5A - enables flexible system-level current budgeting. |
| Dual independent fault flags | Separate open-drain FLTB_SNK and FLTB_SRC outputs - allows microcontroller to distinguish sink vs. source fault origin without shared logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-C PD dual-role power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65987D | Integrated PD controller + MCU + USB-C policy engine; requires external FETs for power path; no integrated TRCB or programmable OVP. | Used where full PD 3.0 policy handling, USB data muxing, and firmware-updatable behavior are required - not just power switching. | Choose TPS65987D when full USB-C PD stack implementation is needed; AOZ1380DI is preferred for cost-sensitive, fixed-function PD power path only. |
| RT1711H | Single-function sink-only switch (22mΩ, 10A); no source path or FRS; OVP fixed at 22.5V; lacks FLTB_SRC and ILIM programming. | Applicable only in charge-only systems (e.g., tablets, phones) without power sourcing or role swap requirements. | Select RT1711H for simplified sink-only designs; AOZ1380DI provides full bidirectional capability with independent fault reporting and FRS. |
Compared with TPS65987D and RT1711H, AOZ1380DI uniquely integrates both sink and source paths with TRCB, FRS, and dual fault flags in one DFN-20L package - reducing system complexity where standalone, high-reliability PD power switching is required without embedded policy engine overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the sink path of AOZ1380DI?
The AOZ1380DI sink path supports 10A continuous current at ambient temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the EXP pad connected to a large copper area via multiple vias. The device also sustains 20A pulsed current for 10ms at 2% duty cycle, enabling support for CPU/GPU peak loads in high-end notebooks.
How does AOZ1380DI implement True Reverse Current Blocking (TRCB) in sink mode?
In sink mode, AOZ1380DI monitors the voltage difference between VCHG and VBUS. When VCHG exceeds VBUS by ≥26mV, the sink switch turns off within 500ns and pulls FLTB_SNK low. This prevents battery backfeed into the USB-C port during dead-battery or adapter-disconnect scenarios, ensuring system safety without external circuitry.
Can AOZ1380DI support Fast Role Swap (FRS) functionality, and how is it enabled?
Yes, AOZ1380DI supports FRS via the FON pin. To activate FRS, assert FON high before enabling EN_SRC. This disables internal soft-start and reduces source turn-on time to under 100µs - meeting USB PD 3.0 FRS timing requirements. FON must remain asserted during role swap; no software or MCU intervention is required.
What are the OVP threshold options for the sink path of AOZ1380DI, and how are they selected?
The AOZ1380DI sink OVP threshold is selectable via the POVP pin: grounding POVP sets OVP to 24V (suitable for 20V PD profiles), while leaving POVP floating sets it to 5.8V (for legacy 5V applications). An internal 8µA current source generates the threshold; no external components are needed beyond the ground connection or open-circuit condition.
How does AOZ1380DI handle overcurrent protection in source mode?
In source mode, AOZ1380DI uses the ILIM pin to set overcurrent protection (OCP) threshold from 0.9A to 3.5A via an external resistor (e.g., 14.3kΩ for 1A). When current exceeds the threshold, FLTB_SRC is pulled low after a 10ms delay. During fast turn-on (FON = high), OCP is temporarily disabled to ensure reliable FRS execution without false triggering.
