AO3420

20V N-Channel MOSFET

General Description Product Summary

The AO3420 uses advanced trench technology to provide VDS 20V

excellent RDS(ON), low gate charge and operation with gate ID (at VGS=10V) 6A
voltages as low as 1.8V while retaining a 12V VGS(MAX) RDS(ON) (at VGS=10V) < 24mΩ
rating. This device is suitable for use as a uni-directional RDS(ON) (at VGS =4.5V) < 27mΩ
or bi-directional load switch.
RDS(ON) (at VGS=2.5V) < 42mΩ
RDS(ON) (at VGS=1.8V) < 55mΩ

A. The value of RθJA is measured with the device mounted on 1in2 FR-4 board with 2oz. Copper, in a still air environment with TA =25°C. The
value in any given application depends on the user's specific board design.
B. The power dissipation PD is based on TJ(MAX)=150°C, using ≤ 10s junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
C. Repetitive rating, pulse width limited by junction temperature TJ(MAX)=150°C. Ratings are based on low frequency and duty cycles to keep
initialTJ=25°C.
D. The RθJA is the sum of the thermal impedence from junction to lead RθJL and lead to ambient.
E. The static characteristics in Figures 1 to 6 are obtained using <300µs pulses, duty cycle 0.5% max.
F. These curves are based on the junction-to-ambient thermal impedence which is measured with the device mounted on 1in2 FR-4 board with
2oz. Copper, assuming a maximum junction temperature of TJ(MAX)=150°C. The SOA curve provides a single pulse rating.
