Product details
Overview
BYG20D from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5A, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) surface-mount fast recovery rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 75ns reverse recovery time (trr), 1.4V max forward voltage at 1.5A, and 30A peak surge current capability - used in DC-DC converter freewheeling paths and snubber networks.
For engineers reviewing the BYG20D datasheet, BYG20D pinout, BYG20D application, or BYG20D equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 200V, trr ≤ 75ns, IF = 1.5A continuous, thermal resistance RθJA = 100°C/W on standard PCB, and DO-214AC polarity marking via cathode band.
Technical Context
The BYG20D employs a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable high-voltage blocking and fast switching performance. Its single-die construction and DO-214AC package support automated placement and reflow soldering per J-STD-002, with moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance ensuring robust handling in SMT lines.
Designed for high-efficiency power conversion, it delivers low conduction loss (VF ≤ 1.4V @ 1.5A) and controlled reverse recovery (trr = 75ns typ.) to minimize switching losses in 50–500kHz SMPS topologies. Junction temperature range spans −55°C to +150°C, enabling operation in thermally constrained industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines minimum system isolation margin in DC-DC output rectification. |
| IF | 1.5 A - Continuous average forward current rating at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per forward current derating curve. |
| trr | 75 ns - Measured reverse recovery time under IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; critical for minimizing switching loss in high-frequency converters. |
| VF @ 1.5A | ≤1.4 V - Max forward voltage drop at rated current and 25°C; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in freewheeling diodes. |
| IFSM | 30 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current (8.3ms half-sine); supports inrush and fault-current handling in power supply startup and overload conditions. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 5mm × 5mm Cu pad PCB; determines required heatsinking or airflow for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with molded epoxy case (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated leads, and cathode polarity indicated by a visible band on the body. Weight: 0.064 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); must withstand full load current and surge transients. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or snubber capacitor; marked by band; carries full output voltage during off-state with <1 µA leakage at 25°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable 200V blocking and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling per J-STD-020 Level 1. |
| Fast recovery (75ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI generation in 100–300kHz SMPS designs compared to standard rectifiers (>500ns). |
| High surge capability (30A) | Withstands repeated inrush events in AC-DC front-ends and motor drive freewheeling without degradation. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS directives; suitable for consumer and industrial products requiring green manufacturing. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Snubber Network Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24V outputs at up to 1.5A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during transformer reset phase; blocks reverse voltage during primary switch-on. Use Value: Low VF (≤1.4V) minimizes conduction loss; 75ns trr limits voltage overshoot and ringing during turn-off. | Use Scenario: Placed across MOSFETs or IGBTs in clamp-type snubbers to absorb inductive switching energy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on diode clamping voltage spike during switch turn-off; conducts transient energy into RC network. Use Value: 30A IFSM handles high-energy pulses; 200V VRRM matches typical 12–48V bus clamping requirements. |
| Lighting Driver Freewheeling | Switching Inverter Auxiliary Rectification |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in LED driver boost or buck-boost stages powering 12–36V LED strings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides current continuity when main switch opens; recovers rapidly to prevent cross-conduction in synchronous designs. Use Value: DO-214AC footprint enables compact layout; 150°C TJMAX supports sealed luminaire thermal environments. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary rectifier in three-phase inverter gate-drive power supplies or auxiliary bias rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts high-frequency transformer output to stable low-voltage DC for control ICs and optocouplers. Use Value: 1.5A IF supports multi-rail bias delivery; glass passivation ensures long life under partial discharge stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | VRRM = 600V, trr = 65ns, IF = 1A, DO-214AC | Higher voltage rating but lower current; better for 400V+ bus snubbers where 200V is insufficient | Select when system reverse voltage exceeds 200V but space and thermal budget constrain use of larger packages. |
| ES1D | VRRM = 200V, trr = 35ns, IF = 1A, DO-214AC | Faster recovery but lower surge rating (IFSM = 25A) and no specified JESD 201 whisker test | Prefer for ultra-high-frequency (<1MHz) converters where trr dominates loss, accepting reduced ruggedness. |
Compared with STTH1L06U and ES1D, the BYG20D uniquely balances 200V rating, 1.5A current, 30A surge, and 75ns recovery in a standard DO-214AC footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 12–48V industrial DC-DC and lighting applications requiring proven field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the BYG20D?
The BYG20D has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C and a minimum of −55°C. This wide operating range allows reliable use in enclosed industrial enclosures and automotive under-hood auxiliary circuits where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe IF limits above 25°C ambient.
Does the BYG20D meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the BYG20D is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. This makes BYG20D suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets requiring green material declarations.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the BYG20D?
The BYG20D has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 75 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and is critical for minimizing switching losses in 100–500 kHz power converters where diode turn-off behavior directly affects efficiency and EMI.
Is the BYG20D suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the BYG20D is optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering. It features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), and a DO-214AC (SMA) outline compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders and stencil apertures. No dry-pack or baking is required prior to assembly.
What does the "D" suffix in BYG20D indicate?
The "D" suffix in BYG20D specifies the 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating. Within the BYG20x family, "D" = 200V, "G" = 400V, and "J" = 600V. All variants share identical package (DO-214AC), current rating (1.5A), thermal specs, and mechanical dimensions - only VRRM and associated reverse leakage differ.
