Product details
Overview
AoZ8000CI from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30V, 5.5A dual-channel load switch IC in a 10-pin DFN package with integrated reverse-blocking N-channel MOSFETs, thermal shutdown, and controlled slew-rate for inrush current limiting - used in USB port power management and portable system rail sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8000CI datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.5V–5.5V), on-resistance (25 mΩ per channel), enable logic polarity (active-high), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and halogen-free packaging compliance per AOS Green Policy.
Technical Context
The AOZ8000CI integrates two independent high-side load switches with internal gate drivers, slew-rate control circuitry, and thermal foldback protection. Each channel supports independent EN control and delivers up to 5.5A continuous current with <25 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V.
It operates without external components for basic switching, features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.3V, and provides fault reporting via open-drain FLAG output that asserts low during overtemperature or overcurrent events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB 2.0/3.0, and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| RDS(on) (per channel) | 25 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5V - enables low conduction loss and minimal voltage drop at 5A load. |
| Continuous Current | 5.5A per channel - sufficient for high-current peripheral power gating without external heatsinking. |
| Slew Rate Control | Programmable via external capacitor on SRT pin - limits inrush current to prevent supply rail collapse during hot-plug events. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C threshold with automatic recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | 3×3 mm DFN-10 - exposes thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation in space-constrained portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8000CI is housed in a 3×3 mm, 10-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP). The package complies with AOS Green Policy as halogen-free (Br/Cl <900 ppm each, total ≤1500 ppm) and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input power supply connection | Common input for both channels; must be decoupled near package with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| EN1 / EN2 | Independent enable inputs | Active-high logic; each controls one channel; no internal pull-down - requires external bias if left undriven. |
| OUT1 / OUT2 | Channel output terminals | Source-connected outputs of internal N-MOSFETs; support reverse-current blocking when off. |
| FLAG | Fault indicator output | Open-drain signal pulled low during thermal shutdown or overcurrent; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| SRT | Slew rate timing node | Connects to external capacitor to set turn-on dV/dt; larger C = slower ramp = lower inrush peak. |
| GND / EP | Power and thermal ground | Exposed pad must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper pour for thermal performance and electrical grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent load switches | Enables discrete rail control for USB-C PD, display interface, or sensor subsystems without cross-talk. |
| Integrated reverse-current blocking | Eliminates need for external back-to-back MOSFETs or diodes in battery-powered systems. |
| Programmable soft-start | Prevents system brown-out during hot-plug by limiting inrush dv/dt via external capacitor on SRT pin. |
| Thermal foldback with auto-recovery | Maintains safe operation under sustained overload without latching off - reduces firmware intervention. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant package | Meets AOS Green Policy requirements (Br/Cl <900 ppm, total ≤1500 ppm); qualified for consumer and medical end-equipment. |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Port | Portable Medical Device Rail Sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS22965DRCR | Single-channel, 5.5A, 16 mΩ RDS(on), no SRT pin - fixed slew rate only. | Lacks dual independent enables and programmable soft-start; requires two units for dual-rail use. | Choose when board space permits duplication and thermal margin exceeds 20°C above AOZ8000CI's 150°C threshold. |
| ON Semi NIS5020MN | Dual-channel, 4A max per channel, 35 mΩ RDS(on), no FLAG output or thermal foldback. | No fault reporting or thermal protection - requires external monitoring circuitry for safety-critical use. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where 4A rating and absence of thermal recovery are acceptable. |
Compared with TPS22965DRCR and NIS5020MN, AOZ8000CI uniquely combines dual independent control, programmable slew rate, thermal foldback with auto-recovery, and halogen-free packaging - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained, and safety-aware portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel of the AOZ8000CI?
The AOZ8000CI supports 5.5A continuous current per channel at TA = 25°C with proper PCB thermal design. Derating applies above 70°C ambient; full 5.5A operation requires ≥100 mm² copper pour connected to the exposed pad. The AOZ8000CI datasheet specifies this rating under conditions including 4.5V gate drive and 25 mΩ typical RDS(on).
Does the AOZ8000CI provide reverse-current blocking, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the AOZ8000CI provides integrated reverse-current blocking using internal N-channel MOSFETs configured in source-follower topology. When disabled, the body diode is reverse-biased, preventing backflow from OUT to IN. This eliminates external diodes or back-to-back MOSFETs. The AOZ8000CI achieves this without additional pins or configuration.
How is slew rate controlled on the AOZ8000CI, and what capacitor value yields ~1 ms turn-on time?
Slew rate is set by an external capacitor connected between the SRT pin and GND. A 1 nF capacitor yields approximately 1 ms output voltage rise time from 10% to 90% under 5V input and 2A load. Larger values increase ramp time linearly; the AOZ8000CI's internal current source charges the capacitor to control dV/dt directly.
What fault conditions trigger the FLAG pin on the AOZ8000CI, and is it latched or auto-recovering?
The FLAG pin asserts low during thermal shutdown (≥150°C junction) or overcurrent events detected via internal current sensing. It is not latched - the AOZ8000CI automatically recovers once temperature drops below 135°C or current returns within limit. No external reset is needed, and the AOZ8000CI resumes normal operation after fault clearance.
Is the AOZ8000CI compliant with halogen-free and RoHS requirements, and which AOS policy governs this?
Yes, the AOZ8000CI meets AOS Green Policy requirements: bromine and chlorine each <900 ppm, total halogens ≤1500 ppm, and full RoHS compliance. Per AOS documentation dated September 2020, all DFN packages - including the AOZ8000CI's 3×3 mm variant - are halogen-free and require no "L" suffix for green identification.
