Product details
Overview
LLSD101A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in MiniMELF glass package, rated for 60 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 15 mA forward continuous current, and 0.41 V typical forward voltage at 1.0 mA. It delivers fast 1.0 ns reverse recovery time and low 2.0 pF junction capacitance, enabling use in high-frequency signal demodulation and low-power detector circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LLSD101A-13 datasheet, LLSD101A-13 pinout, LLSD101A-13 application, or LLSD101A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its cathode-band polarity marking, Sn97.5Ag2.5 terminal finish, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1, and compatibility with MIL-STD-202 soldering methods.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs guard ring construction to enhance transient voltage immunity and suppress leakage-induced noise in sensitive RF front-end stages. Its low forward voltage drop and nanosecond-scale reverse recovery support efficient signal rectification in battery-powered instrumentation and low-voltage logic-level clamping.
The device operates across –55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature range and exhibits stable reverse current ≤200 nA at VR = 50 V, making it suitable for precision analog sensing nodes where dark-current drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for signal swing in clamp/detector applications |
| VF @ 1.0 mA | 0.41 V - Low conduction loss enables operation from sub-1V supplies without significant voltage sag |
| trr | 1.0 ns - Enables reliable detection of >300 MHz RF signals without phase distortion or pulse rounding |
| CT @ 0 V | 2.0 pF - Minimal capacitive loading preserves Q-factor in tuned LC tank circuits |
| IR @ 50 V | 200 nA - Ultra-low leakage maintains accuracy in high-impedance bias networks and sample-hold circuits |
| Pd | 400 mW - Sufficient power handling for intermittent 15 mA pulses without thermal derating on FR-4 |
| RJA | 375 °C/W - Thermal resistance consistent with glass MiniMELF geometry; requires no heatsinking below 100 mW dissipation |
Pinout & Package

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-variable capacitor (varicap) exploiting junction capacitance variation with reverse bias. Use Value: 2.0–2.2 pF CT range with <10% voltage coefficient enables ±5% frequency trim; MiniMELF mechanical stability minimizes microphonics. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD101AW-7 | Same MiniMELF package; VF = 0.42 V @ 1 mA; VRRM = 60 V; RoHS-compliant SnAgCu finish | Optimized for automated placement with enhanced tape-edge registration; identical electrical specs | Select SD101AW-7 for new designs requiring long-term supply continuity and updated process control |
| BAT54C-7-F | SOT-23 package; dual common-cathode configuration; VF = 0.33 V @ 10 mA; VRRM = 30 V | Higher current capability but lower voltage rating; unsuitable for >40 V signal environments | Choose BAT54C-7-F only when board space permits SOT-23 and system voltage remains ≤25 V |
Compared with LLSD101A-13, SD101AW-7 offers identical performance with improved manufacturability and lifecycle support, while BAT54C-7-F trades voltage headroom for higher current and dual-diode integration-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and terminal counts.

FAQ
Is LLSD101A-13 suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes. The Sn97.5Ag2.5 terminal finish meets MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and is qualified for lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature. No pre-bake is needed due to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating.
What is the maximum reverse voltage this diode can sustain continuously?
The LLSD101A-13 has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 60 V. Continuous DC blocking voltage (VR) is also 60 V per datasheet Table 1, verified under standard test conditions at TA = 25 °C with recommended FR-4 pad layout.
Does the cathode band indicate polarity for both forward and reverse bias operation?
Yes. The black cathode band marks the cathode terminal, defining forward conduction direction (anode → cathode) and reverse blocking orientation (cathode held at higher potential). This marking is consistent across all MiniMELF diodes in the LLSD101x family.
Why is LLSD101A-13 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes Incorporated issued this notice because the SD101AW–SD101CW series replaces LLSD101A–LLSD101C with identical electrical specs, improved process control, and extended long-term availability-though LLSD101A-13 remains fully functional and supported for existing production.
