Product details
Overview
PDS340-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 3 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in the POWERDI®5 package, featuring 0.45 V forward voltage at 3 A and 15 µA reverse leakage at 40 V/25°C, optimized for low-voltage DC/DC conversion, free-wheeling in synchronous buck converters, and polarity protection in automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PDS340-13 datasheet, PDS340-13 pinout, PDS340-13 application, or PDS340-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 90 A non-repetitive surge rating, 6.0 °C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with FR-4 and polyimide PCB layouts per Diodes' AP02001 pad recommendations.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche failure and sustain high reliability under repetitive surge stress. Its low VF and low IR are achieved via optimized platinum-silicide metallization and shallow-junction epitaxial processing.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C and supports derated forward current up to 2.5 A at +100°C ambient on FR-4 (2 oz Cu), with thermal performance varying by PCB material and pad geometry-60 °C/W on polyimide and 50 °C/W with enlarged cathode/anode pads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB340-E3/52T (Vishay) | Same 40 V/3 A rating; VF = 0.52 V @ 3 A, 25°C; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive; suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies only | Select if AEC-Q101 not required and cost sensitivity outweighs 70 mV VF penalty |
| SS34 (ON Semiconductor) | 40 V/3 A; VF = 0.55 V @ 3 A, 25°C; RθJA = 75 °C/W on FR-4; no guard ring | Limited surge robustness; lower thermal performance limits continuous current in compact layouts | Choose only for space-constrained non-automotive designs where 0.1 V higher VF is acceptable |
Compared with SB340-E3/52T and SS34, PDS340-13 delivers superior thermal resistance (6.0 °C/W vs. ≥75 °C/W), lower forward voltage, and automotive-grade reliability-making it optimal for thermally demanding or safety-critical deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for PDS340-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation limited by thermal design. At 3 A load on FR-4 (2 oz Cu), junction temperature rises ~180°C above ambient-so derating to ≤2.5 A at +100°C ambient is required per Figure 5. Thermal performance improves significantly on polyimide PCBs or with enhanced pad layouts.
Does PDS340-13 require a heatsink in typical applications?
No external heatsink is required. Its 6.0 °C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance allows full 3 A operation at +25°C ambient using Diodes' recommended pad layout on FR-4. At elevated ambient temperatures, thermal derating applies-e.g., 2.0 A at +70°C ambient per Figure 5's derating curve.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring mitigates electric field crowding at the silicon periphery, suppressing premature edge avalanche during voltage transients like load dump or ESD. This extends operational lifetime in automotive environments where repetitive 40 V+ spikes occur, and is verified through AEC-Q101 transient overload testing.
Can PDS340-13 be used in place of a standard PN junction rectifier?
Yes, but only where low forward voltage and fast switching are beneficial. Unlike PN diodes, PDS340-13 has no reverse recovery time and lower VF, reducing switching losses-but its 40 V VR limit and higher IR at elevated temperature make it unsuitable for high-voltage or high-temperature rectification where PN devices excel.
