Product details
Overview
HSK120TL-S-E from Renesas Technology is a silicon epitaxial planar switching diode in LLD package, featuring trr ≤ 3.0 ns, VF ≤ 0.8 V at IF = 10 mA, and VRM = 70 V. It serves as a high-speed rectifier in DC-DC converter output stages, RF detector circuits, and signal demodulation paths where low capacitance (C ≤ 3.0 pF) and fast recovery are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HSK120TL-S-E datasheet, HSK120TL-S-E pinout, HSK120TL-S-E application, or HSK120TL-S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, forward voltage drop at low current, peak reverse voltage rating, junction temperature limit (175°C), and LLD surface-mount compatibility for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This diode employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for minimal minority carrier storage, enabling sub-4 ns reverse recovery. Its low C = 3.0 pF at 0 V and f = 1 MHz supports high-frequency signal routing without parasitic loading.
The device operates across –65°C to +175°C storage and junction temperature ranges, with rated IO = 150 mA average rectified current and IFSM = 4 A non-repetitive surge capability under 1 µs pulse width - suitable for transient-tolerant power rail clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| trr | ≤ 3.0 ns - enables operation up to ~100 MHz switching in clipping/clamping applications |
| VF | ≤ 0.8 V at IF = 10 mA - minimizes conduction loss in low-current signal path rectification |
| VRM | 70 V - supports use in 48 V telecom and industrial auxiliary supply rails |
| C | ≤ 3.0 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in RF detector and sampling circuits |
| IR | ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 60 V - ensures low leakage in battery-backed or high-impedance bias networks |
| Tj max | 175°C - allows placement near hot components in compact power modules |
Pinout & Package
HSK120TL-S-E uses the LLD (Leadless Low-profile Diode) package: 1.4 mm diameter, 0.35 mm height, 0.027 g mass, designed for automated high-speed placement and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node during forward conduction; marked by cathode band on package |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node during forward conduction; internal P-region contact |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery | trr ≤ 3.0 ns enables clean edge transitions in pulse shaping and sampling gates |
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 0.8 V at 10 mA reduces insertion loss in RF detector diodes |
| Minimal junction capacitance | C ≤ 3.0 pF avoids detuning of 100+ MHz LC tank circuits |
| High-temperature operation | Tj up to 175°C supports integration into thermally constrained DC-DC modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB520S-30T1G | VF = 0.33 V typ at IF = 100 mA; trr = 4.0 ns; SOD-523 package (1.2 × 0.8 mm) | Lower VF benefits higher-current rectification; larger trr limits >50 MHz RF use | Prefer for <50 mA average current where lower VF outweighs trr penalty |
| BAT54C | trr = 5.0 ns; C = 10 pF; dual common-cathode configuration in SOT-23 | Higher capacitance degrades >30 MHz signal fidelity; dual-diode layout saves board space | Choose when dual-diode topology is needed and trr/C specs permit relaxed timing |
Compared with RB520S-30T1G and BAT54C, the HSK120TL-S-E delivers the lowest trr (≤3.0 ns) and C (≤3.0 pF) among the three, making it uniquely suited for RF detection and ultrafast clamping where nanosecond-level timing and sub-5 pF loading are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse recovery time specified for HSK120TL-S-E?
The HSK120TL-S-E has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 ns under test conditions of IF = 10 mA, VR = 6 V, RL = 50 Ω, and Irr = 0.1IR. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is measured using standardized high-speed pulse methods per JIS C 7031.
Does HSK120TL-S-E have a cathode band marking, and how is polarity identified?
Yes, the HSK120TL-S-E features a visible cathode band on the LLD package surface adjacent to Pin 1. Pin 1 is the cathode terminal, and Pin 2 is the anode - consistent with standard diode polarity conventions and confirmed in the official Renesas datasheet Rev.4.00.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for HSK120TL-S-E?
The datasheet for HSK120TL-S-E does not specify RθJA. As an unmounted, leadless surface-mount diode in the LLD package, thermal performance depends entirely on PCB layout - including copper area, thickness, and via count. No RθJA value is published or guaranteed by Renesas for this discrete device.
Can HSK120TL-S-E be used in place of a Schottky diode in low-voltage rectification?
The HSK120TL-S-E is a silicon epitaxial planar diode, not a Schottky. Its VF (≤0.8 V at 10 mA) is higher than typical Schottky diodes, and it lacks metal-semiconductor junction advantages. Use HSK120TL-S-E only where ultra-fast trr and low C are prioritized over low VF - not as a general Schottky replacement.
Is HSK120TL-S-E compliant with RoHS and lead-free soldering standards?
HSK120TL-S-E was released in 2004 under Rev.4.00 and predates mandatory RoHS enforcement. The datasheet does not declare RoHS compliance or lead-free finish. For modern designs requiring RoHS, consult Renesas' current-generation equivalents or verify material declarations directly with Renesas support.
