AO3438 N-Channel Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistor General Description Features The AO3438 uses advanced trench technology to provide excellent RDS(ON), low gate charge and operation with gate voltages as low as 1.8V. This device is suitable for use as a load switch or in PWM applications. AO3438 and AO3438L are eletrically identical. -RoHs Compliant -AO3438L is Halogen Free VDS = 20V ID = 3A RDS(ON) < 62mΩ RDS(ON) < 70mΩ RDS(ON) < 85mΩ TO-236 (SOT-23) Top View (V GS = 4.5V) (V GS = 4.5V) (VGS = 2.5V) (VGS = 1.8V) D G D S G S Absolute Maximum Ratings TA=25°C unless otherwise noted Parameter Symbol VDS Drain-Source Voltage VGS Gate-Source Voltage TA=25°C Continuous Drain Current A Pulsed Drain Current ID IDM TA=70°C B Junction and Storage Temperature Range Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Ltd. ±8 V 16 1.4 W 0.9 TJ, TSTG °C -55 to 150 Symbol t ≤ 10s Steady-State Steady-State A 2.5 PD TA=70°C Thermal Characteristics Parameter Maximum Junction-to-Ambient A Maximum Junction-to-Ambient A Maximum Junction-to-Lead C Units V 3 TA=25°C Power Dissipation A Maximum 20 RθJA RθJL Typ 70 100 63 Max 90 125 80 Units °C/W °C/W °C/W AO3438 Electrical Characteristics (TJ=25°C unless otherwise noted) Parameter Symbol STATIC PARAMETERS BVDSS Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage Conditions Min ID=250µA, VGS=0V IGSS Gate-Body leakage current VDS=0V, VGS=±8V VGS(th) Gate Threshold Voltage VDS=VGS ID=250µA 0.5 ID(ON) On state drain current VGS=4.5V, VDS=5V 16 TJ=55°C VGS=4.5V, ID=3A TJ=125°C VGS=2.5V, ID=2.8A 5 0.7 58 70 mΩ 85 mΩ 11 VSD Diode Forward Voltage IS=1A,VGS=0V Maximum Body-Diode Continuous Current 0.7 Output Capacitance Reverse Transfer Capacitance Rg Gate resistance 260 VGS=0V, VDS=0V, f=1MHz VGS=4.5V, VDS=10V, ID=3A Gate Drain Charge tD(on) Turn-On DelayTime tr Turn-On Rise Time tD(off) Turn-Off DelayTime tf Turn-Off Fall Time VGS=5V, VDS=10V, RL=3.3Ω, RGEN=6Ω mΩ S 1 V 2 A 320 pF 48 pF 27 SWITCHING PARAMETERS Qg Total Gate Charge Qgs Gate Source Charge Qgd V 85 68 Crss 1 62 VGS=1.8V, ID=2.5A VGS=0V, VDS=10V, f=1MHz nA 68 VDS=5V, ID=3A Coss 100 51 Forward Transconductance DYNAMIC PARAMETERS Ciss Input Capacitance µA A gFS IS Units V 1 Zero Gate Voltage Drain Current Static Drain-Source On-Resistance Max 20 VDS=20V, VGS=0V IDSS RDS(ON) Typ pF 3 4.5 Ω 2.9 3.8 nC 0.4 nC 0.6 nC 2.5 ns 3.2 ns 21 ns 3 ns trr Body Diode Reverse Recovery Time IF=3A, dI/dt=100A/µs 14 Qrr Body Diode Reverse Recovery Charge IF=3A, dI/dt=100A/µs 3.8 19 ns nC A: The value of R θJA is measured with the device mounted on 1 in 2 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. The current rating is based on the t ≤10s thermal resistance rating. B: Repetitive rating, pulse width limited by junction temperature. C. The R θJA is the sum of the thermal impedence from junction to lead R θJL and lead to ambient. D. The static characteristics in Figures 1 to 6 are obtained using <300 µs pulses, duty cycle 0.5% max. E. These tests are performed with the device mounted on 1 in curve provides a single pulse rating.
