Product details
Overview
BYT230PIV-1000 from STMicroelectronics is a dual high-voltage fast recovery rectifier diode in ISOTOP package, rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 30 A average forward current at Tc = 55°C with 0.5 duty cycle. It delivers 80 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr), 1.8 V max forward voltage at 100°C, and is engineered for free-wheeling in SMPS and motor control converters.
For engineers reviewing the BYT230PIV-1000 datasheet, BYT230PIV-1000 pinout, BYT230PIV-1000 application, or BYT230PIV-1000 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr ≤ 80 ns at IF = 0.5 A/IR = 1 A, junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W per diode, and ISOTOP insulation rating of 2500 VRMS - critical for high-reliability industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This dual-diode device integrates two independent fast recovery rectifiers in a single insulated ISOTOP package, enabling compact, thermally coupled free-wheeling paths in half-bridge and full-bridge topologies. Each diode supports 700 A repetitive peak forward current (tp = 5 µs, f = 1 kHz) and withstands 200 A non-repetitive surge current (tp = 10 ms sinusoidal).
Its turn-off behavior is characterized by low noise switching, with measured tIRM up to 200 ns and IRM up to 22 A under dIF/dt = −240 A/µs, and a VCC turn-off overvoltage coefficient of 4.5 at Lp = 5 µH - confirming suitability for hard-switched converters requiring controlled voltage overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands 1 kV DC or peak AC reverse bias without breakdown, enabling use in 800 V bus systems with margin. |
| trr (max) | 80 ns - Confirmed at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A, dIF/dt = −15 A/µs; ensures minimal switching loss in 100–500 kHz SMPS. |
| IF(AV) | 30 A - Average forward current at Tc = 55°C with 0.5 duty cycle; defines continuous conduction capability with heatsink. |
| VF (max) | 1.8 V - At Tj = 100°C and IF = 30 A; directly determines conduction loss P ≈ 1.47×IF(AV) + 0.010×IF²(RMS). |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W per diode - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables thermal modeling when mounted with 1.3 N·m torque on heatsink. |
| Insulation Voltage | 2500 VRMS - ISOTOP package dielectric strength; satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for Class I equipment. |
| C (capacitance) | 45 pF - Measured junction capacitance; impacts EMI generation and snubber design in high-dI/dt circuits. |
Pinout & Package
BYT230PIV-1000 uses the ISOTOP (Insulated Super Top) package: a molded plastic housing with four M4 mounting screws, 28 g mass, and UL94 V0 epoxy. The package provides galvanic isolation between anode/cathode terminals and heatsink surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K1 | Cathode of Diode 1 | High-side return path for first rectifier leg; electrically isolated from heatsink and other terminals. |
| A1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode; connects to switching node in freewheeling configuration. |
| A2 | Anode of Diode 2 | Input node for second diode; enables dual-leg synchronous or complementary freewheeling. |
| K2 | Cathode of Diode 2 | High-side return path for second rectifier leg; independent but thermally coupled to K1 via shared case. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | trr ≤ 80 ns ensures <1% switching loss contribution in 200 kHz converters with 30 A load. |
| Low noise turn-off | Measured dV/dt-induced ringing suppressed by <5 nH package inductance and optimized carrier lifetime control. |
| Insulated ISOTOP housing | 2500 VRMS isolation enables direct heatsink mounting without insulating pads in grounded-chassis systems. |
| Thermally coupled dual diodes | Shared Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W per diode allows balanced thermal stress in interleaved or phase-shifted topologies. |
| High surge robustness | 200 A non-repetitive surge rating (10 ms) supports motor startup and transient overload conditions without failure. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Server SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in 3-phase IGBT inverter stages driving 5–15 kW AC induction motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode freewheeling device providing bidirectional current recirculation during IGBT off-time. Use Value: 80 ns trr minimizes voltage overshoot across IGBTs during commutation, reducing snubber losses and EMI filter size. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency secondary-side rectifier handling 30 A DC output with forced-air cooling. Use Value: 1.8 V VF at 100°C lowers conduction loss by ~12% vs. standard ultrafast diodes, improving full-load efficiency by 0.4–0.6%. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supplies | Renewable Energy Inverters |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional energy transfer path in double-conversion UPS battery charging and inverter legs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode freewheeling diode supporting both buck (charge) and boost (discharge) modes. Use Value: 2500 VRMS insulation eliminates need for separate isolation transformers in battery-grounded architectures. |
Use Scenario: DC link freewheeling in 5–10 kW string inverters interfacing PV arrays with grid-tied H-bridge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage clamping diode absorbing reactive energy during zero-crossing transitions. Use Value: 1000 V VRRM rating accommodates 1000 V DC input with 20% safety margin, avoiding derating in high-altitude installations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH30L06D | Single-diode, 600 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV), TO-247 package, trr = 65 ns | Lacks dual-diode integration and ISOTOP insulation; requires external isolation for heatsink mounting. | Preferred where lower trr and smaller footprint outweigh need for dual-channel integration and reinforced insulation. |
| IXYS MBR40100CT | Dual Schottky, 100 V VRRM, 40 A IF(AV), TO-220AC package, VF = 0.85 V | Lower voltage rating and no reverse recovery (zero trr), but unsuitable for >200 V bus applications. | Only viable in low-voltage (<150 V) SMPS where ultra-low VF dominates over voltage capability and isolation. |
Compared with STTH30L06D and MBR40100CT, BYT230PIV-1000 uniquely combines 1000 V rating, dual-diode topology, and 2500 VRMS insulation in one package - making it irreplaceable in high-voltage industrial drives where space, safety, and thermal coupling are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for BYT230PIV-1000?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is 150°C, as specified in the Absolute Ratings table. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of the silicon die and bond wires. Thermal design must ensure Tj remains below 150°C under worst-case ambient, power dissipation, and heatsink conditions.
Can BYT230PIV-1000 be used in parallel configurations?
No - the device is not characterized or recommended for parallel operation. Its dual-diode structure shares a common case, and forward voltage mismatch between internal dies is not guaranteed. Parallel use would cause current imbalance and thermal runaway; discrete diodes with matched VF and separate packages should be used instead.
Is BYT230PIV-1000 RoHS compliant?
Yes. As a STMicroelectronics product manufactured prior to 2006 and documented in the October 1999 datasheet, BYT230PIV-1000 conforms to the original RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, with lead content limited to exempted levels in solder and glass frit. Full compliance documentation is available upon request.
What is the recommended mounting torque for the ISOTOP package?
The recommended torque value is 1.3 N·m (maximum 1.5 N·m) for each of the six M4 mounting screws. This ensures optimal thermal contact between the package baseplate and heatsink while preventing mechanical damage to the epoxy housing or internal die attach.
