Product details
Overview
MURS320 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A, 200V surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode in SMC package, featuring 25ns reverse recovery time, 0.875V forward voltage at 3.0A/25°C, and 75A non-repetitive surge rating - deployed in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies for output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the MURS320 datasheet, MURS320 pinout, MURS320 application, or MURS320 equivalent, key selection criteria include fast recovery (trr = 25 ns), thermal resistance (RθJL = 11 °C/W), peak repetitive reverse voltage (200 V), average forward current (3.0 A at TL = 140°C), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This super-fast rectifier uses glass-passivated die construction to achieve stable junction behavior under transient stress and high-temperature operation up to +175°C. Its 25 ns reverse recovery time and low 45 pF junction capacitance enable efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS topologies.
The device supports automated SMT assembly with SMC package footprint and matte tin-plated terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202 solderability. Polarity is marked by cathode band, and moisture sensitivity is rated Level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC blocking in offline or DC-DC output stages. |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TL = 140°C - Continuous average forward current capability with PCB copper pad heatsinking; defines usable output power envelope. |
| trr | 25 ns - Reverse recovery time measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A; enables high-frequency switching with low commutation loss. |
| VFM | 0.875 V @ 3.0A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal rise in rectifier path. |
| RθJL | 11 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance with 5.0 mm² copper pad; critical for estimating junction temperature rise under load. |
| CT | 45 pF @ 1 MHz, 0 V - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design in flyback or LLC converters. |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Output Rectification | DC-DC Converter Secondary Side |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12–24 V output stage of universal-input 65 W laptop adapter operating at 100–130 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier converting high-frequency transformer secondary AC to regulated DC; conducts during positive half-cycle only. Use Value: 25 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery loss, improving full-load efficiency by ~0.8% versus standard FRD alternatives. | Use Scenario: Isolated 5 V/3 A auxiliary rail in telecom power module using active-clamp forward topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement where gate drive complexity is avoided; handles 3 A average current with low VFM. Use Value: 0.875 V VFM at 3 A reduces conduction loss vs. Schottky diodes above 20 V, extending thermal margin at 150°C junction. |

Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting with 36 V output and 100 kHz flyback control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency output rectifier handling pulsed 2.5 A load; operates with minimal capacitive ringing due to low CT. Use Value: 45 pF junction capacitance suppresses high-frequency oscillation during turn-off, easing EMI filter design. | Use Scenario: 24 V input protection and rectification stage in DIN-rail mounted PLC power supply with wide ambient range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input bridge leg component surviving 75A surge events from line transients and hot-swap insertion. Use Value: 75A IFSM rating ensures robustness against EN 61000-4-5 level 4 surges without derating or parallel devices. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | Same 200 V VRRM, 3 A IO, but trr = 35 ns; RθJL = 13 °C/W; SMC package. | Higher recovery loss in >150 kHz designs; slightly lower thermal performance. | Acceptable where efficiency margin >1% is available or cost sensitivity outweighs speed advantage. |
| ON Semiconductor MURS320G | Identical electrical specs and SMC package; differs only in date-code marking and green compound compliance timeline. | No functional difference; qualifies as direct second-source for supply chain diversification. | Preferred when dual-sourcing is required without redesign or qualification retesting. |
Compared with STTH3L06S, MURS320 delivers lower switching loss via 10 ns faster recovery and better thermal dissipation; versus MURS320G, it shares identical performance but reflects earlier production batch compliance with halogen-free standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of MURS320?
The MURS320 has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +175°C. For reliable long-term operation at full 3.0 A average current, the terminal temperature must be maintained at ≤140°C, as defined in the forward current derating curve (Figure 1). Exceeding this requires thermal derating or enhanced heatsinking.
Is MURS320 suitable for use in synchronous rectification circuits?
No - MURS320 is a passive super-fast rectifier diode, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier. It lacks gate control and cannot be actively driven. It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in non-synchronous topologies like flyback, forward, or half-bridge where simplicity and cost outweigh the ~2–3% efficiency gain of synchronous solutions.
How does the 45 pF junction capacitance affect circuit performance?
The 45 pF typical junction capacitance (measured at 1 MHz, 0 V) influences high-frequency switching behavior: it contributes to turn-off ringing and affects snubber sizing. In 100–500 kHz SMPS, this value is low enough to minimize EMI without excessive snubber loss, unlike slower rectifiers with >100 pF capacitance.
Can MURS320 replace a standard FR107 diode in an existing design?
Yes - MURS320 can directly replace FR107 in most cases: both are 1000 V PRV, 1 A rated, but MURS320 offers superior speed (trr = 25 ns vs. 500 ns), lower VFM (0.875 V vs. 1.7 V), and SMC surface-mount packaging. However, verify thermal layout compatibility, as MURS320's higher current rating may shift thermal stress points.
