UPDATE – Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Announces New P-Channel MOSFET for USB PD Load Switch
October 12 2017 - 3:45PM
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq:AOSL), a
designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power
semiconductors and power ICs, today introduced AONR21357, the
initial product in this P-Channel family. The new AONR21357
uses the improved P-Channel MOSFET process to achieve low power
loss and reliable startup. The new device rated at -30V
drain-source breakdown voltage (BVDss) and -25V gate-source
voltage. It features a maximum on-resistance (RDS(ON)) of
12.3mohm under VGS = -4.5V, and a thermally enhanced 3x3mm DFN
package. The new P-Channel MOSFET is ideal for load switch
applications in Notebook Adapter-In/ Battery In sockets.

USB Type-C is becoming the de-facto interface for the latest PCs
and mobile designs. With that, the USB-PD standard is implemented
to cover various power delivery requirements for many portable
devices. The load switch circuit is used to switch on/off the power
bus according to the power management proxy. The new MOSFET used as
the load switch offers extended input/output voltage range, and is
robust and reliable enough to accommodate the possible working
conditions. AOS’ enhanced P-Channel technology offers robustness
toward linear mode operation, and low Miller’s Plateau (<3.5V)
to cover the possible USB-PD voltages.
‟The AONR21357 comprehensively addresses the need for -30VDS and
-25VGS discrete P-Channel MOSFET. High performance such as
low Miller Plateau and low loss of turn-on switching behaviors
ensures reliable and secure safe operation area, allowing designers
to take advantage of simple design with P-Channel MOSFETs,” said
Rack Tsai, Director of Marketing for low voltage MOSFET product
line in AOS.
Technical Highlights
The new product family offers various RDS(ON) levels in
combination with multiple package options.
