Product details
Overview
1PS70SB20,115 from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier single diode with integrated guard ring for stress protection, housed in an SOT323 (SC-70) package. It delivers 500 mA forward current, 40 V reverse voltage rating, and 550 mV typical forward voltage at 500 mA - optimized for ultra-high-speed switching and reverse polarity protection in space-constrained automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PS70SB20,115 datasheet, 1PS70SB20,115 pinout, 1PS70SB20,115 application, or 1PS70SB20,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low 60–90 pF capacitance at 0 V, and n.c. (pin 2) terminal configuration enabling layout flexibility in high-frequency clamping circuits.
Technical Context
This discrete Schottky diode employs a planar junction structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve ruggedness under transient stress. Its low forward voltage and minimal junction capacitance stem from optimized metal-semiconductor interface design and small active die area.
The device operates across –55 °C to +125 °C ambient, with thermal resistance of 500 K/W (junction-to-ambient, FR4 PCB), and supports non-repetitive peak forward current up to 2 A for 8.3 ms half-sine pulses - critical for surge-tolerant line termination and clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - defines maximum DC or repetitive reverse bias before breakdown; suitable for 36 V automotive systems with margin. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 500 mA continuous - sets steady-state conduction capability without thermal runaway on standard FR4 layouts. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 550 mV at 500 mA, 25 °C - enables low-loss rectification and clamping with <0.275 W conduction loss. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 60–90 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - ensures minimal signal distortion in >100 MHz termination and RF decoupling paths. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 100 µA at 35 V, 25 °C - low leakage preserves battery life in always-on reverse polarity protection circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 125 °C max - allows operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating at full IF. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a 3-pin SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.2 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm, this diode uses a compact footprint compatible with automated reflow assembly. Pin 2 is internally not connected, eliminating routing conflicts and simplifying PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Input terminal for forward conduction path; connects to higher-potential side in clamping or polarity protection. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond wire or die connection; must be left floating or tied to ground only if required for mechanical stability. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Output/return terminal; sinks current during forward bias and provides low-impedance path to ground in reverse polarity schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - enables direct use in infotainment and body control modules. |
| Integrated guard ring | Suppresses edge leakage and improves voltage standoff consistency - enhances long-term stability in high-humidity or contaminated environments. |
| Low forward voltage | 550 mV @ 500 mA reduces power dissipation by ~30% vs. comparable 700 mV Schottkys - extends thermal margin in dense power domains. |
| Low capacitance | 60–90 pF enables clean signal integrity in 100+ MHz USB, CAN FD, or Ethernet PHY termination networks. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | High-Speed Data Line Termination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse battery connection in 12 V vehicle ECUs with persistent 5 V standby supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional polarity guard placed between battery input and downstream LDOs or microcontrollers. Use Value: Prevents catastrophic damage during service without adding series resistance or voltage drop beyond 550 mV at full load. |
Use Scenario: RS-485 or CAN bus stub termination in distributed automotive sensor networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance clamp limiting overshoot on differential pairs while preserving edge rate. Use Value: Maintains signal fidelity up to 5 Mbps with <90 pF loading - avoids timing skew and reflection-induced jitter. |
| Ultra-Fast Switching Clamping | Low-Power Supply Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Snubberless flyback clamp in isolated DC-DC converters for ADAS camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery path absorbing transformer leakage energy during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: Eliminates need for RC snubbers due to 2 A non-repetitive surge rating and sub-ns recovery - reduces BOM count and board area. |
Use Scenario: OR-ing diode in dual-supply backup systems (e.g., main + supercapacitor) for telematics units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased isolation element enabling seamless switchover with minimal voltage loss. Use Value: Enables <550 mV dropout at 500 mA - preserves minimum operating voltage for 3.3 V logic during brownout transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB520S-40T1G | Higher VF (600 mV typ. @ 500 mA); same 40 V VR and SOT-23 package. | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; rated for commercial temp range only (–40 to +85 °C). | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs 50 mV VF penalty. |
| SS14 | Higher IF (1 A), larger DO-214AC package; VF = 500 mV @ 1 A but Cd = 110 pF. | Not suitable for SMT density-critical designs; better for high-current, lower-frequency clamping. | Choose for >500 mA average loads where board space permits larger footprint and higher capacitance is acceptable. |
Compared with RB520S-40T1G and SS14, the 1PS70SB20,115 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, ultra-low capacitance (<90 pF), and SOT323 size - making it optimal for automotive signal integrity and space-limited power protection where both reliability and high-frequency performance are mandatory.

FAQ
Is pin 2 (n.c.) electrically isolated or should it be grounded?
Pin 2 is internally not connected - no bond wire or die connection exists. It must remain electrically floating unless grounding is required solely for mechanical stability or EMI shielding per your PCB stack-up. Connecting it to any potential risks unintended parasitic coupling or solder bridging.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal relief when mounting 1PS70SB20,115?
The specified Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W assumes a single-sided FR4 board with standard SOT323 footprint (2.65 × 2.35 mm solder lands). Increasing copper area beyond the recommended 1.325 × 1.85 mm pad dimensions yields diminishing returns; doubling copper does not halve thermal resistance due to epoxy resin limitations.
Can 1PS70SB20,115 replace BAT54S in existing designs?
No - BAT54S is a dual-series Schottky in SOT-363 with shared cathode, while 1PS70SB20,115 is a single-diode SOT323 with n.c. pin. Electrical specs differ: BAT54S has 30 V VR and 240 mV VF @ 10 mA, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement for 40 V, 500 mA applications requiring the 1PS70SB20,115's ratings.
Does the 100 µA IR spec at 35 V apply at elevated temperatures?
No - the 100 µA reverse current is specified at 25 °C. At 125 °C junction temperature, IR increases to 10 mA (pulsed, Tj = 100 °C), reflecting exponential thermal dependence. Designers must verify leakage impact on standby current budgets using the Fig. 2 curve, not the 25 °C value.
