AO4459

30V P-Channel MOSFET

General Description Product Summary

The AO4459 combines advanced trench MOSFET VDS -30V

technology with a low resistance package to provide ID (at VGS=-10V) -6.5A
extremely low RDS(ON). This device is ideal for load switch RDS(ON) (at VGS=-10V) < 46mΩ
and battery protection applications.
RDS(ON) (at VGS = -4.5V) < 72mΩ

A. The value of RθJA is measured with the device mounted on 1in2 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.
B. The power dissipation PD is based on TJ(MAX)=150°C, using ≤ 10s junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
C. Repetitive rating, pulse width limited by junction temperature TJ(MAX)=150°C. Ratings are based on low frequency and duty cycles to keep
initialTJ=25°C.
D. The RθJA is the sum of the thermal impedence from junction to lead RθJL and lead to ambient.
E. The static characteristics in Figures 1 to 6 are obtained using <300µs pulses, duty cycle 0.5% max.
F. These curves are based on the junction-to-ambient thermal impedence which is measured with the device mounted on 1in2 FR-4 board with
2oz. Copper, assuming a maximum junction temperature of TJ(MAX)=150°C. The SOA curve provides a single pulse rating.
