Product details
Overview
ES1BAL from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 100V super fast surface-mount rectifier diode in a Thin SMA package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.85V forward voltage at 1.0A/25°C, and 30A surge current capability. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ES1BAL datasheet, ES1BAL pinout, ES1BAL application, or ES1BAL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VRRM, low thermal resistance (RθJL = 28°C/W), J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
The ES1BAL is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-speed switching operation. Its super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35ns) minimizes switching losses in DC–DC converters and SMPS topologies operating above 50kHz.
Thermal performance is defined with reference to a 5mm × 5mm copper pad test board: RθJA = 67°C/W, RθJC = 20°C/W, and RθJL = 28°C/W. Reverse leakage remains ≤1µA at 25°C and ≤20µA at 125°C under rated VR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 12–48V output rectification |
| IF | 1 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports compact designs up to ~12W at typical efficiency |
| trr | ≤35 ns - Reverse recovery time; enables efficient operation in >100kHz switching converters |
| VF | 0.85 V @ 1A, 25°C - Low conduction loss; reduces heat generation vs. standard fast rectifiers |
| IFSM | 30 A @ 8.3ms - Non-repetitive surge rating; withstands inrush and transient overloads |
| CJ | 18 pF @ 1MHz, 4V - Junction capacitance; limits high-frequency displacement current and EMI |
| TJ max | +150°C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in sealed or high-ambient environments |

Applications
| DC–DC Converters | Switching Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 12V–24V buck-derived DC–DC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier conducting during MOSFET off-time; handles 1A average load with minimal VF-related loss. Use Value: 0.85V VF at 1A reduces conduction loss by ~15% versus standard fast rectifiers, improving efficiency at light-to-moderate loads. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in half-bridge motor drive inverters for HVAC blowers and small pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps inductive kickback during PWM dead-time; recovers in ≤35ns to prevent shoot-through risk. Use Value: 35ns trr ensures clean commutation at 20–50kHz switching frequencies, reducing voltage overshoot and snubber stress. |
| SMPS Power Supplies | Industrial Control Power Rails |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 36W open-frame AC–DC adapters with universal input (85–265VAC). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary secondary-side rectifier delivering regulated 12V/3A; operates continuously at 1A average with peak surges. Use Value: 30A IFSM accommodates startup inrush and short-circuit foldback events without degradation. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary bias supply rectification in PLC I/O modules exposed to ambient temperatures up to +70°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts transformer-wound AC to stable DC for logic and sensor circuitry; must sustain operation at TA = 70°C. Use Value: +150°C TJmax and 20°C/W RθJC enable reliable derating to 0.7A at 70°C ambient on standard FR4. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | VRRM = 600V, trr = 35ns, VF = 0.95V @ 1A, RθJA = 70°C/W | Higher voltage rating; larger thermal footprint; not drop-in due to SMA vs. SOD-123FL package | Prefer when 600V blocking or legacy SOD-123FL layout exists; requires PCB redesign for ES1BAL |
| MBR1100 | Schottky structure, VF = 0.82V @ 1A, but VRRM = 100V and IR = 500µA @ 25°C | Lower VF but higher leakage; unsuitable for high-temp or low-leakage freewheeling | Select only where ultra-low VF dominates and leakage <1µA is not required; avoid in >85°C environments |
Compared with STTH1L06S and MBR1100, the ES1BAL delivers optimal balance of 100V rating, 35ns speed, sub-1V forward drop, and Thin SMA manufacturability-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12–48V industrial DC–DC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the ES1BAL?
The ES1BAL has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components. Derating curves in the datasheet define usable current vs. ambient temperature, and the device maintains specified electrical performance up to this limit when mounted on a 5mm × 5mm Cu pad.
Does the ES1BAL have a specified reverse recovery time, and how is it measured?
Yes, the ES1BAL has a reverse recovery time (trr) of ≤35ns, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and reflects performance at 25°C. The measurement uses standardized pulse testing, enabling accurate prediction of switching loss in hard-switched topologies.
Is the ES1BAL RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the ES1BAL is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These compliance statements are explicitly documented in the FEATURES section of the official TSC datasheet (Version C2103). No exemptions apply, and material declarations are available upon request for qualifying customers.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the ES1BAL, and what does it mean for assembly?
The ES1BAL is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH and is safe for standard reflow without pre-baking. This eliminates floor-life tracking and dry-pack requirements, streamlining SMT line logistics for high-volume manufacturing of power supplies and motor drives.
How does the forward voltage of the ES1BAL vary with temperature and current?
The ES1BAL forward voltage decreases with rising junction temperature: at 1.0A, VF is 0.85V at 25°C and drops to 0.71V at 125°C. This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability in parallel configurations. Data is provided in the Electrical Specifications table for both 0.5A and 1.0A across 25°C and 125°C conditions.
