Product details
Overview
FERD40M45CG-TR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-field-effect rectifier in D2PAK package, designed for high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and automotive-grade DC/DC conversion. It delivers 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode, 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and typ. 0.34 V forward voltage drop at 125 °C/20 A - enabling low conduction loss in compact 12 V–48 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the FERD40M45CG-TR datasheet, FERD40M45CG-TR pinout, FERD40M45CG-TR application, or FERD40M45CG-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.1 °C/W total), stable leakage (<50 mA @ 125 °C/VRRM), dual-diode isolation, and ECOPACK®-compliant D2PAK packaging for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This dual common-cathode rectifier uses ST's proprietary field-effect process to minimize VF/IR trade-off across temperature. Each diode operates independently with separate thermal paths, supporting parallel operation without current imbalance under matched PCB copper layout.
It features low junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.1 °C/W total), pulse-rated surge current of 275 A (10 ms sine), and stable reverse leakage up to 125 °C - critical for automotive under-hood and industrial SMPS where ambient exceeds 105 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - supports 36 V nominal bus systems with 25 % margin against transients |
| IF(AV) per diode | 20 A - enables 40 A dual-channel output with shared heatsink and independent thermal modeling |
| VF (typ) | 0.34 V @ 125 °C/20 A - reduces conduction loss by ~35 % vs. standard Schottky in same package |
| Rth(j-c) total | 1.1 °C/W - allows 44 W dissipation per diode at ΔT = 48.4 °C (Tj = 150 °C, Tc = 101.6 °C) |
| IR max | 50 mA @ 125 °C/VRRM - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| Package | D2PAK (TO-263) - surface-mount, thermally enhanced, compatible with IPC-7351B footprint (16.9 × 12.2 mm) |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (TO-263), epoxy-molded, UL94 V0 rated, with exposed metal tab for thermal conduction. Mounting torque: 0.4–0.6 N·m recommended for heatsink interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K (Tab) | Common cathode | Electrically and thermally connected to both diodes; must be soldered to PCB copper pour or heatsink |
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first rectifier channel; isolated from A2 for independent circuit routing |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second rectifier channel; enables dual-output or interleaved topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ST advanced rectifier process | Enables VF/IR optimization unattainable with conventional Schottky or PN diodes at 45 V rating |
| Stable leakage over temperature | IR remains ≤50 mA at 125 °C/VRRM, avoiding thermal runaway in sealed enclosures |
| Low forward voltage drop | VF = 0.34 V typ. @ 125 °C/20 A - cuts I²R loss by >40 % vs. comparable 45 V Schottky |
| High-frequency operation | Capable of >500 kHz switching with minimal recovery tail - suitable for LLC resonant and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies |
Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converter | Server PSU Secondary Side |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-field-effect rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH30L06CW | 60 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV)/diode, higher VF (0.55 V typ.), TO-247 package | Higher voltage margin but larger footprint and lower power density | Select when system requires >45 V transient immunity and board space permits TO-247 mounting |
| VS-80CTQ045PbF | 45 V VRRM, 40 A total IF(AV), Schottky, TO-220AB, no common cathode | Lower VF at room temp but IR rises sharply above 100 °C; requires two separate packages | Prefer only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs with ambient <85 °C and no thermal coupling constraints |
Compared with STTH30L06CW and VS-80CTQ045PbF, FERD40M45CG-TR uniquely balances 45 V rating, 20 A/channel capability, D2PAK SMT compatibility, and stable high-temp leakage - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial SMPS where thermal reliability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is 175 °C, verified per Table 2 of the datasheet. Derating is required above Tc = 140 °C for the D2PAK package, and thermal design must ensure Rth(j-c) × Ptot + Tc ≤ 175 °C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Can FERD40M45CG-TR be used in synchronous rectification circuits?
No - it is a passive rectifier, not a synchronous MOSFET controller or driver. However, its low VF and fast recovery make it suitable as a freewheeling or output rectifier in quasi-resonant and LLC converters where synchronous MOSFETs are impractical due to timing complexity or cost.
Is the D2PAK tab electrically isolated from the anodes?
No - the metal tab is the common cathode (K) and is electrically connected to both diode cathodes. It must be mounted on a grounded or common-cathode copper plane. Insulating pads or shoulder washers are required if electrical isolation from heatsink is needed.
Does this part meet automotive qualification standards?
While not AEC-Q101 certified out-of-box, FERD40M45CG-TR is built on ST's automotive-qualified process, referenced in ST's ECOPACK® documentation and widely deployed in automotive subsystems. Customers must perform full AEC-Q101 requalification per their program requirements.
