Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Continues to Lead With its Newest High
Efficiency Charger Solution
Lowest on-resistance MOSFET for synchronous rectification
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 25, 2015 – 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 announced the release of
AO4294, the latest addition to AOS’s family of high efficiency charging solutions. This new device is offered in an easy-touse SO-8 package, which helps manufacturers keep the mounting cost low, while still getting the best efficiency and power
dissipation possible. The AO4294 is an ideal solution for synchronous rectification in high efficiency chargers and adapters
for mobile devices.
AO4294 utilizes AOS’s leading process technology to generate a very low on-resistance when working as the secondary-side
rectifier of an AC/DC converter. The AO4294 is available in the standard SO-8 package, which gives lower-output power
supply designers the convenience of an easy-to-use and cost-effective PCB design. Additionally, this device allows the
possibility of an even smaller circuit form factor, due to extremely low switching losses.
“The ever growing application base for contemporary smart phones is driving the demand for higher battery capacity. At the
same time, the ability to charge up the battery faster and more efficiently is becoming critical for smart phone users. This has
led AOS to work with leading quick charger designers to provide the best performing MOSFETs for secondary-side
rectification to achieve the highest efficiency.” said Lei Feng, Director of Market Development for the MOSFET product line
at AOS. “As one of the best performing parts in the 100V category, the AO4294 will help our customers significantly in
designing efficient charger circuits with higher reliability as the benefit of extremely low on-resistance.”
