Product details
Overview
1PS79SB40 from Nexperia is a general-purpose Schottky diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 40 V reverse voltage, 120 mA forward current, and 380 mV forward voltage at 1 mA. It delivers ultra-high-speed switching with low leakage (≤10 µA at 40 V), low capacitance (5 pF), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a clamping or freewheeling diode in compact DC-DC converters and power rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PS79SB40 datasheet, 1PS79SB40 pinout, 1PS79SB40 application, or 1PS79SB40 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (450 K/W), cathode/anode terminal mapping, automotive qualification status, and real-world use cases in space-constrained power management designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon structure optimized for low forward voltage and fast recovery-no minority carrier storage delay. Its 5 pF junction capacitance and sub-10 µA reverse leakage at 40 V enable clean signal integrity in high-frequency clamp and snubber roles.
The device operates across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient and junction temperatures, with thermal resistance of 450 K/W (junction-to-ambient, FR4 PCB, single-sided copper). Its SOD523 footprint (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm) supports automated placement in ultra-dense layouts without compromising thermal derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - Maximum blocking capability before breakdown; suitable for 3.3 V–24 V rail clamping. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 120 mA continuous - Supports moderate-power switching paths without external heatsinking. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - Enables low-loss voltage clamping in battery-sensitive or low-voltage logic interfaces. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA @ 40 V - Ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on automotive modules. |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 5 pF @ 0 V - Minimizes signal distortion in RF detector or high-speed data line protection. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 450 K/W - Defines temperature rise per watt on standard FR4; requires layout-aware power derating above ~270 mW. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 (SC-79), ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm with flat leads. Marking bar indicates cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Negative terminal; connects to lower-potential node during conduction; marked by bar on top surface. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Positive terminal; accepts forward bias from higher-potential source; unmarked side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | No minority carrier storage → <1 ns reverse recovery time; eliminates switching spikes in >1 MHz DC-DC controllers. |
| Low forward voltage | 380 mV @ 1 mA enables efficient clamping in 1.8 V/3.3 V logic rails without forward drop penalties. |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 µA @ 30 V ensures negligible quiescent current in always-on automotive sensors and CAN bus terminations. |
| Ultra-small SOD523 footprint | 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm area saves >60% board space vs. SOD323; compatible with 0201 reflow profiles. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | USB Power Delivery Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 12 V supply inputs from load dump transients in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast clamping diode shunting surge energy to ground during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a events. Use Value: 40 V VR rating withstands 35 V peak transients; 120 mA IF handles sustained clamp current without thermal runaway. |
Use Scenario: Clamps VBUS overvoltage in USB-C PD sink applications up to 20 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor placed between VBUS and GND near connector. Use Value: 5 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity degradation on CC and SBU lines; AEC-Q101 ensures field reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB521S-30T1G | 30 V VR, 200 mA IF, VF = 370 mV @ 1 mA; SOD-523 package; no AEC-Q101 certification. | Not qualified for automotive; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer or industrial non-safety systems. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and 40 V margin is unnecessary. |
| SD103ATW-7-F | 40 V VR, 200 mA IF, VF = 450 mV @ 10 mA; SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm); AEC-Q101 qualified. | Larger footprint increases board area by 3.4×; higher VF increases conduction loss in low-current bias networks. | Choose when higher surge current handling (200 mA) is required and board space permits larger package. |
Compared with RB521S-30T1G and SD103ATW-7-F, the 1PS79SB40 uniquely balances 40 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, and minimal 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and portable industrial nodes where both voltage margin and qualification matter.

FAQ
Is the 1PS79SB40 suitable for reverse polarity protection?
No. With only 40 V reverse voltage rating and no integrated series FET or dedicated protection architecture, it lacks the safe operating area and fault current handling needed for primary reverse polarity schemes. It functions strictly as a clamping or freewheeling diode-not a protection IC or ideal diode controller.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C. With Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W, ΔT = 65 K allows max power of 144 mW. At VF = 500 mV and IF = 120 mA, dissipation is 60 mW-well within limit, confirming safe operation without derating at this temperature.
Does the marking 'T' correspond to the full part number 1PS79SB40?
Yes. Per Table 4 of the datasheet, the marking code 'T' is the sole top-side laser mark for 1PS79SB40 in SOD523 packaging. No secondary codes or date codes are included; 'T' is the complete and unique identifier for this variant.
Can the 1PS79SB40 replace BAS40 in existing designs?
Yes, with verification. Both are 40 V Schottky diodes in SOD-523, but 1PS79SB40 has lower VF (380 mV vs. BAS40's 430 mV @ 1 mA) and tighter IR spec (10 µA vs. 20 µA @ 40 V). Layout and thermal validation are required due to differing junction-to-ambient resistance (450 K/W vs. BAS40's 400 K/W).
