Product details
Overview
AOZ5049QI from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a high-current DrMOS power module integrating asymmetrical HS/LS MOSFETs and a gate driver in a single 3.5mm × 5mm QFN-24L package. It delivers up to 35A output current, supports 4.5V–25V input, operates up to 2MHz, and features integrated bootstrap Schottky diode and tri-state FCCM/PWM inputs for IMVP8-compliant VRMs in server and notebook CPU power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ5049QI datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (RθJC = 3°C/W), dead-time timing (tPDHU = 20ns), UVLO threshold (3.4V), and diode-emulation control logic - all critical for high-frequency buck converter design and layout optimization.
Technical Context
The AOZ5049QI implements an adaptive shoot-through protection scheme that monitors VSWH and gate voltage transitions to enforce minimum dead time while preventing cross-conduction. Its dual-rail architecture separates VIN (4.5–25V) and VCC (4.5–5.5V) supplies, enabling independent optimization of power-stage switching and gate-drive integrity.
Control logic integrates tri-state-compatible PWM and FCCM inputs with defined thresholds (VPWMH = 4.1V, VFCCML = 1.2V) and propagation delays (tPDLU = 18ns, tTSSHD = 175ns). Diode emulation mode is activated when FCCM is held low, allowing asynchronous operation during light-load or pre-bias conditions without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Up to 35A continuous - enables single-module CPU core rail solutions in space-constrained VRMs. |
| Input Voltage Range | VIN = 4.5V to 25V - supports wide-input server and notebook power architectures including 12V and 19V intermediate buses. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2MHz - allows high-density point-of-load designs with small inductors and reduced output capacitance. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJC = 3°C/W - enables efficient heat transfer from junction to exposed pad, critical for sustained 35A operation. |

| Dead Time | tPDHU = 20ns (GH→GL), tPDHL = 20ns (VSWH→GL) - minimizes conduction overlap while maintaining robust shoot-through immunity. |
| Bootstrap Supply | Integrated Schottky diode - eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-frequency designs. |
| Package | 3.5mm × 5mm QFN-24L with exposed VIN/PGND pads - optimized for low-inductance routing and thermal dissipation in multi-layer VRM layouts. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ5049QI uses a 3.5mm × 5mm QFN-24L package with dual exposed thermal pads (VIN and PGND) and optimized pin arrangement for minimal loop inductance. Pin 1 is marked by dot; top-view orientation follows standard QFN convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWM | Primary control input | TTL/5V-compatible logic signal; tri-state capable - enables controller-initiated shutdown without external pull-downs. |
| FCCM | Mode selection input | High = CCM, Low = diode emulation, Hi-Z = shutdown - provides single-pin configurability for light-load efficiency and safe startup sequencing. |
| BOOT | HS gate driver supply | Connects to VSWH via 100nF ceramic capacitor - forms self-contained bootstrap rail for floating HS gate drive. |
| GH | HS MOSFET gate | Internal gate driver output - not for external probing; designed for direct internal connection to minimize gate loop inductance. |
| VSWH | Switch node | Source of HS MOSFET / drain of LS MOSFET; used for ZCD, UVLO sensing, and BOOT capacitor return - requires minimal copper area to suppress dV/dt noise. |
| VIN (Pins 6,7,8,22) | High-voltage input | Dedicated power input pins adjacent to PGND - enables low-impedance, low-inductance connection to input bulk capacitors. |
| PGND (Pins 9–12,17,18,21) | Power ground | Multiple dedicated ground terminals including LS gate driver return - reduces ground bounce and improves EMI performance. |
| VCC | Driver bias supply | 5V rail for internal logic and LS gate driver - requires 2.2µF MLCC directly to PGND (Pin 21) for stable gate drive under fast load transients. |
| GL | LS MOSFET gate | Complementary gate driver output - internally optimized for ultra-low RDS(ON) conduction and fast turn-off (tPDLL = 25ns). |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DrMOS power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AOZ5048QI | Direct replacement with identical pinout, same RθJC, but improved 30ns faster GH turn-off (tPDLU = 15ns vs. 18ns) and lower 2.8°C/W RθJC. | Same IMVP8 compliance and VRM use cases; preferred for new designs requiring marginally higher efficiency at 2MHz. | Select AOZ5048QI for new designs; AOZ5049QI remains valid for legacy production and cost-sensitive builds where 3°C/W thermal resistance is acceptable. |
| IR35201MTRPBF | QFN-40 package, 40A rating, supports 3.3V VCC, includes integrated current sense amplifier and PMBus interface - adds telemetry but increases layout complexity. | Targeted at enterprise server VRMs requiring real-time current monitoring and digital power management, not basic analog PWM control. | Choose IR35201MTRPBF only when PMBus telemetry and >35A capability are required; AOZ5049QI offers simpler analog integration and lower BOM cost for standard IMVP8 systems. |
Compared with AOZ5048QI, the AOZ5049QI trades 0.2°C/W higher thermal resistance and slightly slower gate timing for proven field reliability in volume server deployments; versus IR35201MTRPBF, it eliminates PMBus overhead and reduces PCB layer count by omitting current-sense routing and digital interface traces.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for AOZ5049QI?
The AOZ5049QI is characterized and specified for continuous operation up to 2MHz. Electrical parameters including gate timing (tPDLU, tPDLL) and thermal resistance (RθJC = 3°C/W) are validated across the full 200kHz–2MHz range. Operation beyond 2MHz is not guaranteed and may compromise shoot-through immunity or thermal performance without additional derating.
Does AOZ5049QI require an external bootstrap diode?
No, AOZ5049QI integrates a bootstrap Schottky diode internally. The BOOT pin connects directly to the VSWH switching node via a 100nF ceramic capacitor; no external diode is needed. This integration reduces component count, PCB area, and parasitic inductance - critical for stable 2MHz operation and EMI reduction.
How does the FCCM pin control diode emulation mode in AOZ5049QI?
When the FCCM pin is driven low (≤1.2V), the AOZ5049QI activates diode emulation mode for the LS MOSFET while maintaining normal HS switching - enabling asynchronous operation during light-load or pre-bias conditions. A high-impedance FCCM input shuts down both MOSFETs; a high input (≥3.8V) enables standard CCM operation.
What is the purpose of the multiple VIN and PGND pins on AOZ5049QI?
The AOZ5049QI allocates four VIN pins (6,7,8,22) and eight PGND pins (9–12,17,18,21) to minimize power-loop inductance and improve thermal spreading. This layout reduces voltage spikes during high di/dt switching, lowers ground bounce in multi-phase systems, and enhances heat transfer from the exposed VIN/PGND thermal pads into the PCB copper planes.
Is AOZ5049QI pin-compatible with AOZ5048QI?
Yes, AOZ5049QI and AOZ5048QI share identical 3.5mm × 5mm QFN-24L package dimensions, pinout, and IMVP8 electrical interface. AOZ5048QI is explicitly designated as the replacement product in AOS documentation, offering improved thermal resistance (2.8°C/W vs. 3°C/W) and faster gate timing while maintaining full mechanical and functional compatibility.
