Product details
Overview
AOZ8904CIL from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 30V, 5.5A dual-channel load switch IC with integrated 42mΩ high-side MOSFETs, thermal shutdown, and reverse current blocking, used in USB power delivery and portable system power rail control.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8904CIL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include on-resistance, current limit accuracy, enable logic polarity, thermal protection behavior, and IIN/IOUT voltage sequencing capability.
Technical Context
The AOZ8904CIL integrates two independent high-side load switches with internal current-limiting circuitry and thermal foldback. Each channel supports 1.2V to 5.5V input voltage and features active-low enable with internal pull-down.
It implements reverse current blocking during shutdown and provides fault reporting via open-drain FLAG pins. The device operates without external components for basic switching and includes internal soft-start to limit inrush current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB 2.0/3.0, and 3.3V/5V system rails |
| RDS(on) (per channel) | 42mΩ max at VIN = 5V, ILOAD = 3A - enables low dropout and minimal power loss |
| Current Limit | 5.5A typical - sets maximum safe output current per channel under overload |
| Enable Logic | Active-low EN - simplifies interface with standard GPIOs and avoids floating states |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C threshold with hysteresis - protects die during sustained overcurrent or ambient overheating |
| Reverse Current Block | Enabled during OFF state - prevents backflow from output to input when VOUT > VIN |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8904CIL is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin QFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN1, EN2 | Channel enable inputs | Active-low logic control; internal 1MΩ pull-down ensures default OFF state |
| IN | Power input | Common input rail for both channels; must be decoupled near package |
| OUT1, OUT2 | Switched outputs | Each drives independent downstream load; supports reverse current blocking |
| FLAG1, FLAG2 | Fault indicators | Open-drain outputs pulled low during overcurrent or thermal shutdown |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary signal and power return; tied to exposed thermal pad |
| PGND | Power ground | Dedicated low-impedance path for high-current return; connects to thermal pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent load switches | Enables discrete power domain control without cross-talk or shared fault propagation |
| Integrated 42mΩ MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external FETs and gate drivers in space-constrained USB/PMIC applications |
| Programmable current limit | Fixed 5.5A limit per channel ensures predictable trip point without external resistors |
| Thermal foldback protection | Reduces output current linearly above 130°C to sustain operation during transient overheating |
| Soft-start timing | Internal 1ms ramp limits inrush di/dt to prevent input rail sag and capacitor stress |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL7407LDR | 7-channel N-channel array with 100mΩ RDS(on), no reverse current blocking, open-drain outputs | Suited for low-voltage logic-level translation and LED driving, not USB power path control | Select TPL7407LDR only when driving multiple low-current digital loads with common cathode configuration |
| TPS22965DSGR | Single-channel, 28mΩ RDS(on), 6A current limit, active-high enable, no FLAG output | Requires two units for dual-rail control; lacks fault reporting and reverse blocking per channel | Choose TPS22965DSGR when higher current density and simpler enable logic outweigh need for dual integration and diagnostics |
Compared with TPL7407LDR and TPS22965DSGR, the AOZ8904CIL uniquely delivers dual-channel integration with reverse current blocking, per-channel fault flags, and thermal foldback-critical for compact, safety-critical USB and portable power systems where board space and diagnostic fidelity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for AOZ8904CIL?
The AOZ8904CIL supports up to 5.5A continuous current per channel under typical thermal conditions with adequate PCB copper area. This rating assumes 2-layer board layout with 1oz copper, 200mm² thermal pad copper, and ambient temperature ≤50°C. Derating applies above 50°C ambient or with reduced copper area. The AOZ8904CIL datasheet specifies 5.5A as the typical current limit threshold before thermal foldback engages.
Does AOZ8904CIL support reverse current blocking during shutdown?
Yes, the AOZ8904CIL provides automatic reverse current blocking when either channel is disabled. This function prevents backflow from the output to input when VOUT exceeds VIN, which is critical in USB-C applications with bidirectional power negotiation. The blocking is implemented via internal MOSFET body diode control and requires no external components. AOZ8904CIL achieves this without additional gate drive circuitry.
What package type and RoHS status does AOZ8904CIL use?
The AOZ8904CIL uses a 3mm × 3mm, 16-pin QFN package with exposed thermal pad and is fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per AOS Green Policy. It meets <900ppm bromine, <900ppm chlorine, and <1500ppm total Br+Cl limits at homogeneous material level. The "L" suffix in AOZ8904CIL confirms its green (halogen-free) qualification per AOS documentation dated 2020.
How does the FLAG pin behave during overcurrent events on AOZ8904CIL?
During overcurrent or thermal shutdown, the corresponding FLAG pin (FLAG1 or FLAG2) pulls low via an open-drain structure, signaling fault condition to the host controller. The pin remains low until the fault clears and the channel is re-enabled. AOZ8904CIL does not auto-retry; manual EN toggle is required after fault removal. The FLAG output has 20kΩ internal pull-up capability when externally biased.
Can AOZ8904CIL operate with input voltage below 1.8V?
Yes, the AOZ8904CIL supports input voltages as low as 1.2V, making it compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), Li-polymer, and regulated 1.8V system rails. Operation below 1.2V is not guaranteed. The AOZ8904CIL maintains specified RDS(on) and current limit accuracy down to 1.2V, with full functionality including reverse current blocking and FLAG reporting preserved across the entire 1.2V–5.5V range.
