Product details
Overview
PDS4200HQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 4A, 200V high-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in PowerDI5 package, featuring 0.84V max forward voltage at 4A/25°C, ≤1µA reverse leakage at 200V/25°C, and soft recovery (tB/tA ≥1). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths where low conduction loss and thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PDS4200HQ-13 datasheet, PDS4200HQ-13 pinout, PDS4200HQ-13 application, or PDS4200HQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100A non-repetitive surge rating, 3.0°C/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, soft-recovery behavior for EMI reduction, and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing for automotive power systems.
Technical Context
The PDS4200HQ-13 employs an oxide-passivated Schottky junction optimized for high-voltage operation up to 200V VRRM while maintaining low VF (0.61–0.84V across 3–8A and 25–150°C). Its soft recovery characteristic (tRR = 13–25ns, tB/tA ≥1) minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during switching transitions.
Thermal performance is defined by three RθJA values (80/65/45°C/W) depending on PCB substrate and pad layout - specifically 45°C/W with 9.4mm × 7.2mm cathode and 2.7mm × 1.6mm anode pads on polyimide - enabling high-power-density designs in constrained automotive and industrial SMPS layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in high-side rectification or flyback clamp circuits. |
| IO(MAX) | 4 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = +25°C; derates to ~2.5A at +125°C per Figure 6. |
| VF(MAX) | 0.84 V @ 4A/25°C - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation and improves efficiency in 12–48V DC-DC stages. |
| IR(MAX) | 1 µA @ 200V/25°C - Ultra-low leakage enables stable operation in high-impedance bias networks and low-quiescent circuits. |
| tRR | 13–25 ns - Fast but soft reverse recovery minimizes EMI generation and snubber losses in high-frequency switching. |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3ms - Withstands transient inrush and fault currents in automotive load-dump or hot-swap scenarios. |
| RθJS | 3.0 °C/W - Low junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance supports direct thermal coupling to copper planes for passive cooling. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal | Connected to input/source side; requires minimum 2.7mm × 1.6mm copper pad for thermal and mechanical reliability. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal | Exposed metal pad functions as primary heat path; requires 9.4mm × 7.2mm copper area for RθJA = 45°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Oxide-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure, validated for automotive AEC-Q101 stress tests. |
| High IFSM (100A) | Supports robust operation during cold-crank, load dump, and inrush events in 12V/24V automotive power rails. |
| Green compound (UL 94V-0) | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound meets automotive material compliance requirements (Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm). |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Industrial SMPS Secondary Rectification |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional charging path with minimal voltage drop and negligible leakage during hold phases. Use Value: 1µA IR at 200V prevents capacitor self-discharge over minutes, preserving energy integrity between high-current discharge pulses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-4EWH02-M3/54 | 200V VRRM, 4A IO, VF = 0.82V @ 4A/25°C, but tRR = 35ns (harder recovery), no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Lacks automotive qualification and soft recovery; suitable for industrial-only designs with lower EMI sensitivity. | Select when cost is prioritized over automotive compliance and EMI performance is managed externally. |
| ON Semiconductor SB4200 | 200V VRRM, 4A IO, VF = 0.85V @ 4A/25°C, RθJA = 60°C/W (FR-4), no soft recovery data published. | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; thermal performance less optimized for polyimide PCBs; limited softness documentation. | Prefer only for legacy FR-4-based consumer power supplies where qualification and advanced thermal design are not required. |
Compared with VS-4EWH02-M3/54 and SB4200, the PDS4200HQ-13 delivers superior EMI control via documented soft recovery, guaranteed automotive qualification, and best-in-class thermal resistance on polyimide - making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive and high-reliability industrial power stages.

FAQ
Is PDS4200HQ-13 suitable for synchronous rectification replacement?
Yes - its 0.84V max forward voltage at 4A/25°C and soft recovery characteristics make it a viable alternative to MOSFET-based synchronous rectifiers in medium-frequency (≤300kHz) flyback and forward converters where gate drive complexity must be avoided. Thermal performance remains effective with proper cathode pad layout.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for full 4A operation?
Full 4A average current is rated only at TA = +25°C. Per Figure 6, derating begins above +25°C: usable current drops to ~3.2A at +60°C, ~2.5A at +125°C, and ~1.8A at +150°C on FR-4 PCB. Higher current is possible on polyimide with optimized pads (RθJA = 45°C/W).
Does PDS4200HQ-13 require a heatsink in typical applications?
No external heatsink is required if mounted on appropriate PCB copper areas: ≥9.4mm × 7.2mm cathode pad and ≥2.7mm × 1.6mm anode pad on polyimide yields RθJA = 45°C/W, limiting junction temperature to <125°C at 4A/25°C ambient. FR-4 layouts require larger copper or airflow for same conditions.
How does the soft recovery characteristic impact circuit layout?
Soft recovery (tB/tA ≥1) reduces high-frequency ringing during reverse recovery, allowing tighter layout tolerances near switching nodes. Layout benefits include reduced need for RC snubbers, smaller input/output filter capacitors, and relaxed spacing rules for adjacent gate traces - especially valuable in dense automotive ECU PCBs.
