AO3401A

Alpha & Omega Semiconductor · P-channel MOSFET · SOT-23

P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in a SOT-23 package, using trench technology for low on-resistance (<50 mohm at VGS = -10 V) and low gate charge. Rated -30 V drain-source and up to -4 A, it turns on with gate drive as low as -2.5 V, which suits high-side load switches and reverse-polarity protection from a 3.3-5 V rail. Source ties to the positive rail, drain to the load; the body diode runs source-to-drain.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 G input Gate. Control terminal for the P-channel MOSFET. Gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = -0.5V to -1.3V (typ -0.9V). Absolute maximum VGS = ±12V. Input capacitance Ciss = 645pF typ.
2 S passive Source. Current-return terminal for the P-channel MOSFET. Typically tied to the positive supply rail in high-side load-switch configurations. Body diode anode is internally connected here (VSD typ -0.7V at IS=-1A).
3 D passive Drain. Switched current terminal for the P-channel MOSFET. VDS absolute maximum -30V; continuous ID up to -4A at TA=25°C. Body diode cathode is internally connected here.
