Product details
Overview
LLSD103C-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in MiniMELF glass package, rated for 20 V DC blocking voltage, 350 mA forward current, and 10 ns reverse recovery time, with low 0.60 V forward voltage at 200 mA - used in high-efficiency DC-DC converter output rectification and low-voltage power rail clamping.
For engineers reviewing the LLSD103C-13 datasheet, LLSD103C-13 pinout, LLSD103C-13 application, or LLSD103C-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V VR, 0.60 V VF @ 200 mA, 10 ns trr, MiniMELF glass package thermal performance (RθJA = 250 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant Sn97.5Ag2.5 termination.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs guard ring construction to suppress transient-induced junction breakdown and supports fast switching in low-voltage, high-frequency power conversion stages. Its glass MiniMELF case provides hermetic sealing and UL 94V-0 flammability rating, enabling reliable operation from –55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature.
The device delivers 0.37 V typical forward voltage at 20 mA and maintains ≤5.0 µA peak reverse current at 10 V reverse bias. Total capacitance is 50 pF at 0 V, supporting stable high-speed switching behavior in compact layouts without parasitic resonance concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (DC Blocking) | 20 V - defines maximum steady-state reverse bias before conduction in clamp or freewheeling paths |
| IF (Continuous) | 350 mA - sustainable forward current under FR-4 board thermal conditions with recommended pad layout |
| VF @ 200 mA | 0.60 V max - limits conduction loss and self-heating in 3.3 V/5 V output rectifiers |
| trr | 10 ns - enables use in >1 MHz switching converters without tail-current losses |
| RθJA | 250 °C/W - quantifies thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard FR-4, guiding heatsinking decisions |
| CT @ 0 V | 50 pF - impacts high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in flyback or buck topologies |
Pinout & Package
MiniMELF glass package (3.3–3.7 mm length × 1.3–1.6 mm diameter) with axial cathode band marking; no discrete pins - two terminals: anode and cathode, identified by single black band indicating cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck, transformer secondary in flyback) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with black band; ties to output rail or ground return path in rectifier/clamp configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 0.60 V max @ 200 mA reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable silicon diodes in 3.3 V systems |
| Guard ring construction | Suppresses edge leakage and improves ESD/transient robustness without external TVS in low-energy clamping |
| Fast reverse recovery | 10 ns trr minimizes switching loss and prevents cross-conduction in synchronous rectifier auxiliary paths |
| MiniMELF glass package | Hermetic seal and 94V-0 rating support reliability in humid, high-temp industrial environments |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Low-Voltage Rail Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as secondary-side rectifier in non-isolated buck converters supplying 1.8–3.3 V to microcontrollers or FPGAs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uncontrolled rectifier conducting during low-side switch off-time; no timing control required. Use Value: 0.60 V VF at 200 mA cuts conduction loss by 0.12 W vs. 0.85 V silicon diode, improving efficiency by ~2.5% at 1 A load. | Use Scenario: Placed across 3.3 V I/O lines to clamp ESD transients and prevent overvoltage damage to logic inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage clamp activated only during >3.3 V excursions; responds within nanoseconds. Use Value: 20 V VR margin allows safe clamping of ±8 kV HBM ESD events while maintaining <5 µA leakage at nominal rail voltage. |
| High-Frequency Flyback Snubber | USB Power Path Isolation |
Use Scenario: Integrated into RCD snubber networks on primary-side MOSFETs in 500 kHz–1 MHz flyback adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery freewheeling path for snubber capacitor discharge; critical for trr-limited loss reduction. Use Value: 10 ns trr ensures full discharge before next switching cycle, reducing snubber dissipation by up to 40% vs. 50 ns alternatives. | Use Scenario: Positioned between USB VBUS and portable device battery charger IC to block reverse current during adapter disconnect. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional isolation diode preventing backfeed from battery to dead VBUS line. Use Value: 350 mA IF rating supports 500 mA USB 2.0 charging paths with 200 mV headroom at full load, avoiding thermal derating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD103CW-7 | Same MiniMELF package, 20 V VR, but 0.45 V typ VF @ 200 mA (vs. 0.60 V max for LLSD103C) | Lower conduction loss suits higher-efficiency 3.3 V rails; same thermal profile and footprint | Select SD103CW-7 when optimizing for minimum VF in thermally constrained space |
| BAT54C-7-F | SOT-23 package, 30 V VR, 0.33 V typ VF @ 100 mA, but 200 mA IF rating (vs. 350 mA) | Surface-mount compatible but lower current capacity; requires PCB redesign for footprint | Choose BAT54C-7-F only if SOT-23 layout exists and 200 mA suffices |
Compared with LLSD103C-13, SD103CW-7 offers lower typical forward voltage in identical packaging for improved efficiency, while BAT54C-7-F trades higher VR and smaller size for reduced current rating and incompatible footprint - making LLSD103C-13 optimal for legacy MiniMELF designs requiring 350 mA and proven thermal reliability.

FAQ
Is LLSD103C-13 lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. LLSD103C-13 features a Sn97.5Ag2.5 lead-free termination and complies with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), including applicable exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder per Annex Notes 5 and 7. It meets J-STD-020C moisture sensitivity Level 1.
What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it achieved?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +125 °C. This rating assumes mounting on an FR-4 PCB using Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout (document AP02001.pdf), which achieves the specified RθJA of 250 °C/W. Exceeding recommended trace width or copper area reduces thermal margin.
Can LLSD103C-13 replace LLSD103A-13 or LLSD103B-13 in existing designs?
Yes, with voltage derating consideration. LLSD103C-13 has 20 V VR, versus 40 V for LLSD103A-13 and 30 V for LLSD103B-13. Substitution is valid only if the circuit's peak reverse voltage remains ≤20 V; otherwise, overvoltage stress may cause premature failure.
Why is LLSD103C-13 marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends SD103AW–SD103CW as successors due to improved forward voltage consistency and tighter process control. LLSD103C-13 remains fully qualified and supported for legacy production, but new designs should use the SD103Cx series for better VF distribution and long-term supply assurance.
