D518 overview

D518 is a component documented by Alpha & Omega Semicondu. The PDF description identifies it as "30V N-Channel AlphaMOS." This guide condenses the most useful engineering information from the available PDF so that designers and sourcing teams can identify the checks that still need confirmation in the original document.

Specifications and operating details

The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.

  • Body Diode Reverse Recovery Charge Body Diode Reverse Recovery Time IF=20A, dI/dt=500A/ µs Turn-Off DelayTime R GEN =3 Ω Turn-Off Fall Time IF=20A, dI/dt=500A/ µs A.
  • Copper, in a still air environment with T A =25 °C.
  • The Power dissipation P DSM is based on R θJA and the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C.
  • The value in any given application depends on the user's specific board design, and the maximum temperature of 175 °C may be used if the PCB allows it.
  • The power dissipation P D is based on T J(MAX) =175 °C, using junction-to-case thermal resistance, and is more useful in setting the upper dissipation limit for cases where additional heatsinking is used.
  • Single pulse width limited by junction temperature T J(MAX) =175 °C.
  • The static characteristics in Figures 1 to 6 are obtained using <300 µs pulses, duty cycle 0.5% max.

Engineering review checklist

  • Confirm repetitive reverse voltage, average forward current, surge current and leakage at the intended temperature.
  • Check forward-voltage loss and reverse-recovery behavior at the actual current and switching frequency.
  • Review package thermal resistance, copper area, polarity marking and transient derating before layout release.

Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
