Product details
Overview
DTV1500HDFP from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage damper diode designed specifically for horizontal deflection stages in CRT television displays. It delivers 1500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 6 A average forward current, 12 A peak forward current at 56 kHz, 150 ns typical reverse recovery time, and 1.0 V typical forward voltage drop at 25°C - enabling efficient energy recycling in flyback transformer circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DTV1500HDFP datasheet, DTV1500HDFP pinout, DTV1500HDFP application, or DTV1500HDFP equivalent, key selection criteria include its insulated TO-220FPAC package (2000 V DC isolation), low VFP of 21 V under fast dI/dt switching, and specified turn-on recovery behavior for CRT horizontal scan timing integrity.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a snubber/damper in the horizontal deflection yoke circuit of CRT TVs, absorbing flyback energy during line retrace. Its planar junction structure ensures stable trr ≤ 250 ns and low Qrr, critical for minimizing switching losses at 15.625–31.25 kHz line frequencies.
Thermal design relies on Rth(j-c) = 5.4 °C/W and Tj(max) = 175°C, with conduction loss modeled by P = 1.15 × IF(AV) + 0.033 × IF²(RMS). The 12 pF junction capacitance at VR = 30 V supports stable high-frequency waveform shaping without parasitic resonance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1500 V - Withstands full flyback voltage spikes in CRT horizontal deflection without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 6 A - Sustains continuous forward current during active scan period |
| trr (typ) | 150 ns - Enables clean, low-loss commutation at 56 kHz switching frequency |
| VF (typ) | 1.0 V @ 25°C - Minimizes conduction loss and thermal stress during forward conduction |
| VFP (typ) | 21 V @ dI/dt = 80 A/µs - Limits transient overvoltage during rapid current reversal |
| Rth(j-c) | 5.4 °C/W - Supports direct heatsink mounting for reliable 175°C junction operation |
| Cj | 12 pF @ 1 MHz - Stabilizes high-frequency response without oscillation in deflection tank circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220FPAC - Insulated plastic package with electrically isolated tab (2000 V DC isolation), 1.8 g mass, and standardized mechanical footprint per STMicroelectronics drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to horizontal output transistor collector and flyback primary winding |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to ground reference and damper RC network input |
| Tab (Isolated) | Mounting surface only | Electrically isolated metal tab enables direct heatsink attachment without insulation washer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage damper capability | Rated for 1500 V repetitive reverse voltage - matches CRT flyback transformer secondary voltage swing |
| Fast, controlled recovery | trr = 150 ns typ. with low Qrr - reduces switching loss and EMI in horizontal deflection stage |
| Low peak forward voltage | VFP = 21 V max under 80 A/µs dI/dt - suppresses voltage overshoot during current collapse |
| Insulated TO-220FPAC package | 2000 V DC isolation between tab and terminals - eliminates need for insulating hardware in heatsink mounting |
| Planar junction technology | Ensures consistent trr, VF, and thermal stability across production lots and temperature range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage damper diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH12R06D | 600 V VRRM, 12 A IF(AV), 65 ns trr - lower voltage rating, faster recovery | Not suitable for 1500 V CRT flyback; limited to SMPS or lower-voltage deflection | Select only if redesigning circuit for <800 V operation and prioritizing speed over voltage margin |
| BYV26E | 1300 V VRRM, 2.5 A IF(AV), 50 ns trr - lower current/voltage ratings, smaller TO-220AC package | Lacks insulated tab and thermal capacity for sustained 6 A CRT deflection loads | Acceptable only for low-power legacy monitor repair where heat dissipation is not constrained |
Compared with STTH12R06D and BYV26E, DTV1500HDFP uniquely satisfies the combined requirements of 1500 V standoff, 6 A average current, TO-220FPAC insulation, and CRT-tuned recovery dynamics - making it non-interchangeable without circuit revision.

FAQ
Is DTV1500HDFP still in active production?
No - DTV1500HDFP is marked as obsolete in STMicroelectronics' official documentation (Rev. 4, March 2005). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and provides engineering support for continued use in repair and maintenance programs.
Can DTV1500HDFP be mounted directly to a heatsink without insulation?
Yes - the TO-220FPAC package features an electrically isolated metal tab rated for 2000 V DC isolation, allowing direct screw-mounting to grounded heatsinks without mica washers or silicone pads.
What is the maximum allowable dI/dt for reliable operation?
DTV1500HDFP is characterized up to 80 A/µs (per Figure 5 and Table 7), with VFP = 21 V typical at that rate. Exceeding this may increase VFP beyond 29 V and risk overstress in high-dI/dt CRT deflection waveforms.
How does junction capacitance affect CRT deflection performance?
At 12 pF (measured at 1 MHz, 30 mV RMS), Cj minimizes phase shift and ringing in the resonant deflection tank circuit, preserving linearity and preventing horizontal geometry distortion at 15–31 kHz scan frequencies.
