Offering a compact footprint to streamline PCB
design, the AONZ66412 XSPairFET™ helps improve power density while
meeting high-efficiency Type C performance demands
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a
designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of
discrete power devices, wide bandgap power devices, power
management ICs, and modules, today announced its AONZ66412
XSPairFET™ MOSFET designed for Buck-Boost converters in USB PD 3.1
Extended Power Range (EPR) applications. The USB PD 3.1 EPR
increases the USB-C maximum power up to 240W. AONZ66412 is defined
to support the most commonly addressed power range of up to 140W at
28V, with two 40V N-Channel MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration
in a symmetric XSPairFET™ 5mmx6mm package.

The AONZ66412 can replace two single DFN5x6 MOSFETs, reducing
the PCB area and simplifying the layout of the 4-switch buck-boost
architecture while enabling a higher efficiency design. These
benefits make the AONZ66412 ideal for buck-boost converters in
Type-C USB 3.1 EPR applications, including notebook, USB hub, and
power bank designs.
The AONZ66412 is an extension to the AOS XSPairFET™ lineup that
features the latest bottom source packaging technology and lower
parasitic inductance for reduced switch node ringing. Engineered
with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs (3.8mOhms maximum
on-resistance for each FET) within a DFN5x6 symmetric XSPairFET™
package, the low-side MOSFET source of the AONZ66412 is connected
directly to a large paddle on the lead frame. This allows for
improved thermals, as this paddle can be directly connected to the
ground plane on the PCB. The improved package parasitics make 1MHz
operation achievable, allowing inductor size and height to be
reduced. AONZ66412 has been tested to achieve 97% efficiency @1MHz
in typical USB PD 3.1 EPR conditions of 28V input, 17.6V output,
and 8A load conditions.
“AOS specifically designed the AONZ66412 to meet EPR Type C PD
application demands. AONZ66412 will reduce board space and improve
power density to achieve the high-efficiency performance goals
designers have set for this widely adopted USB-PD Type C
application. AOS continues to be a leading innovator of buck-boost
architecture solutions,” said Rack Tsai, Marketing Director of
MOSFET product line at AOS.
