Nexperia USA Inc. ES2DRX

Overview

ES2DRX from Nexperia is a 200 V, 2 A hyperfast PN-rectifier in SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount package, designed for high-efficiency rectification and freewheeling in DC/DC converters and power supplies. It delivers trr ≤ 25 ns reverse recovery time, VF = 915 mV at 2 A / 25 °C, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature in compact 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm footprint.

For engineers reviewing the ES2DRX datasheet, ES2DRX pinout, ES2DRX application, or ES2DRX equivalent, this device is selected for high-frequency switching circuits requiring low forward voltage, fast recovery, minimal reverse leakage (<200 nA at 25 °C), and robust thermal performance on FR4 PCBs with standard or enhanced cathode pad layouts.

Technical Context

This hyperfast PN-rectifier uses planar die technology with platinum doping for precise lifetime control, enabling sub-25 ns trr while maintaining low VF and high VRRM. Its clip-bond construction enhances thermal conduction from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 15 K/W).

The device supports both reflow and wave soldering per defined footprints, and its low-inductance SOD123W package minimizes parasitic ringing in high-dI/dt applications such as synchronous rectifier flyback snubbers and motor drive freewheel paths.

Key Specifications

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ES2DRX?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) for ES2DRX is 150 °C, as specified in IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation of the Pt-doped silicon junction and accelerated reverse leakage. Derating curves in Figure 8 show that at 2 A average current, ambient temperature must remain below 75 °C on standard FR4 to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.

Does ES2DRX support lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?

Yes - ES2DRX is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds, as confirmed by Nexperia's compliance documentation and validated footprint design (Figure 16). The SOD123W package withstands thermal cycling without delamination or bond wire failure due to its clip-bond construction and optimized mold compound.

How does the SOD123W package improve thermal performance versus standard SOD123?

SOD123W features an extended cathode tab with larger copper area and direct clip-bond interconnect, reducing Rth(j-sp) to 15 K/W - 30% lower than typical wire-bonded SOD123 devices (~22 K/W). This enables 1.19 W total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient (vs. ~0.735 W for standard SOD123), supporting higher continuous current in space-constrained layouts.

Can ES2DRX replace a Schottky diode in a 5 V output rectifier?

No - ES2DRX is a PN rectifier, not a Schottky. Its 915 mV VF at 2 A is higher than typical Schottky VF (e.g., 450–600 mV), resulting in greater conduction loss. While it offers superior VRRM (200 V vs. often ≤ 45 V for Schottkys) and better high-temperature stability, it should only replace Schottkys where reverse voltage rating or temperature range demands outweigh VF penalty.
