Product details
Overview
APD140VD-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual Schottky barrier rectifier optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and low-voltage inverters, featuring 40 V reverse voltage rating, 1 A average forward current, 0.5 V max forward voltage at 1 A, 0.5 mA max reverse leakage at 25°C, and +125°C junction temperature capability.
For engineers reviewing the APD140VD-G1 datasheet, APD140VD-G1 pinout, APD140VD-G1 application, or APD140VD-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency in compact power supplies, DO-41 green package compliance, surge robustness (35 A IFSM), and thermal resistance of 65°C/W in standard mounting.
Technical Context
The APD140VD-G1 integrates two independent Schottky diodes in a single DO-41 package with common cathode configuration, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-path freewheeling. Its low junction capacitance (~400 pF at 0 V) and fast recovery support operation up to several hundred kHz without switching loss penalties.
Designed for medium-voltage, high-efficiency topologies, it delivers stable conduction under repetitive surge conditions (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains low noise due to absence of minority-carrier storage-critical for EMI-sensitive switch-mode power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Supports input rails up to 36 V DC in buck/boost converters with safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - Sustains continuous output current in sub-12 W isolated or non-isolated converters |
| VF (max) | 0.5 V @ 1 A - Reduces conduction loss to ≤0.5 W per diode, improving thermal budget |
| IR (max) | 0.5 mA @ 25°C - Minimizes standby power loss in always-on auxiliary supplies |
| IFSM | 35 A - Withstands inrush and transient surges without degradation in typical 60 Hz line-fed designs |
| TJ range | −65°C to +125°C - Enables deployment in industrial ambient environments without derating below 1 A |
| RθJA | 65°C/W - Requires minimal PCB copper area (0.375" lead length) for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
APD140VD-G1 uses the DO-41 axial-leaded package with cathode identified by a band marking. It contains two Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal and separate anodes (Anode 1, Anode 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Common cathode node | Reference point for both diodes; connects to positive rail or output node in freewheeling configurations |
| Anode 1 | First diode anode | Accepts input from first switching path (e.g., primary-side sync rectifier leg) |
| Anode 2 | Second diode anode | Accepts input from second switching path (e.g., secondary-side clamp or dual-output winding) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.5 V max at 1 A enables ≥92% efficiency in 5 V/1 A buck converter at full load |
| Guard-ring protection | Enhances ruggedness against voltage transients and edge breakdown in unregulated inputs |
| +125°C junction rating | Permits operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without forced cooling |
| Green DO-41 package | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets IPC-1752A Class 3 |
Applications
| Low-Voltage DC-DC Converter | High-Frequency Inverter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down regulation from 12 V to 3.3 V/1 A in telecom interface modules. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-anode Schottky used as synchronous rectifier pair in active-clamp forward topology. Use Value: 0.5 V VF reduces conduction loss by 40% vs. silicon diode, lowering MOSFET stress and thermal footprint. | Use Scenario: 24 V input to 200 kHz push-pull inverter driving piezoelectric actuators. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling path for transformer leakage energy recovery. Use Value: 35 A IFSM handles peak flyback currents; low Cj minimizes capacitive coupling noise into analog control loop. |
| Polarity Protection Circuit | Industrial Sensor Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage safeguard on 5 V supply rail for USB-powered instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role: Common-cathode dual diode provides redundant input path with automatic failover. Use Value: Single-package dual configuration saves board space vs. discrete diodes; RoHS/Green compliance supports export requirements. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 3.3 V rail derived from 24 V field bus in PLC I/O module. IC Role / Device Role: Output rectifier in flyback-derived auxiliary supply operating at −40°C to +85°C ambient. Use Value: Stable IR ≤0.5 mA at 25°C and ≤10 mA at 100°C ensures <15 μW standby loss across temperature range. |

FAQ
Is APD140VD-G1 still in production?
No. Per Diodes Incorporated's official documentation (DS36974 Rev. 4–4, April 2018), APD140VD-G1 is marked "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED" with no alternate part offered. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for design continuity and repair use only.
What does the 'G1' suffix indicate in APD140VD-G1?
The 'G1' suffix denotes the green, halogen- and antimony-free version in DO-41 packaging, compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU). It specifies matte tin annealed leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and ≤900 ppm bromine/chlorine and ≤1000 ppm antimony.
Can APD140VD-G1 replace a single-diode Schottky like SB140?
No-it is a dual-diode device with common cathode. Replacing SB140 requires using only one anode and leaving the other unconnected, but layout must accommodate shared cathode routing and verify thermal dissipation remains within 1 A total limit.
What is the maximum operating frequency for APD140VD-G1?
While not explicitly rated for frequency, its low junction capacitance (~400 pF at 0 V) and absence of reverse recovery charge enable reliable operation up to 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies, provided layout minimizes parasitic inductance and thermal rise stays within RθJA limits.
