Product details
Overview
PDS560-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 5A, 60V Schottky barrier rectifier in PowerDI5 package, featuring 0.60 V max forward voltage at 5A/25°C, 150 µA max reverse leakage at 60V/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use as polarity protection, recirculating, or switching diode.
For engineers reviewing the PDS560-13 datasheet, PDS560-13 pinout, PDS560-13 application, or PDS560-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF for reduced conduction loss, high IFSM (150A) for transient robustness, thermal resistance (RθJS = 2.0°C/W), and PowerDI5 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses guard ring die construction to enhance transient voltage immunity and suppress avalanche-induced failure. Its low forward voltage drop and low leakage current are achieved through optimized metal–semiconductor junction design and epitaxial processing.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports high-frequency switching applications due to inherently low reverse recovery time (unspecified but inherent to Schottky structure) and junction capacitance of ~75 pF at 4 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe DC blocking capability in polarity protection circuits. |
| IO | 5 A - Average forward rectified current at TA = +25°C; derates to ~2.5 A at +100°C per Fig. 5. |
| VF max | 0.60 V @ 5A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12V automotive power rails. |
| IFSM | 150 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands motor commutation spikes and load dump transients without failure. |
| IR max | 150 µA @ 60V, +25°C - Minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules. |
| RθJS | 2.0 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for passive cooling without heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI5 - surface-mount, dual-terminal, thermally enhanced plastic package with exposed cathode pad (bottom-side heat sink); dimensions: 4.0 mm × 6.5 mm × 1.1 mm; weight ≈ 0.093 g; RoHS- and halogen-free "Green" compound (UL 94V-0).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Left Pin) | Input current terminal | Connected to source (e.g., battery positive); must be routed with low-inductance trace for switching stability. |
| Cathode (Right Pin) | Output current terminal / Heat sink node | Electrically tied to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation; also serves as output connection to load ground or return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ESD and surge immunity by preventing edge breakdown during fast transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a). |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including temperature cycling, HTRB, and mechanical shock per stress test plan. |
| Low RθJS (2.0°C/W) | Allows 3.5 W continuous power dissipation with ≤7°C rise above solder point-enables compact layout without thermal vias. |
| Matte tin–plated copper leadframe | Ensures reliable solder wetting and intermetallic formation per MIL-STD-202 Method 208; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. |
Applications
| Automotive Polarity Protection | DC Motor Recirculation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Installed between battery and ECU input to prevent damage from reverse battery connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate; blocks reverse current while conducting forward current with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 0.60 V VF limits power loss to 3.0 W at 5 A, reducing thermal stress on adjacent components versus silicon diodes (~1.1 V drop). | Use Scenario: Placed across brushed DC motor terminals to clamp inductive kickback during PWM switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for stored inductor energy; conducts only during off-cycle flyback. Use Value: 150 A IFSM rating safely absorbs 100 ms motor stall surges; low VF avoids excessive heating during frequent commutation. |
| High-Frequency Inverter Output | 12V System Switching Diode |
Use Scenario: Used in secondary-side synchronous rectification of 100 kHz–500 kHz DC-DC converters in ADAS camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed unidirectional rectifier replacing MOSFETs where gate drive complexity is undesirable. Use Value: Near-zero reverse recovery eliminates switching losses and EMI associated with PN diodes, improving converter efficiency by ~1.5%. | Use Scenario: Isolating auxiliary 12V supply domains (e.g., infotainment, telematics) to prevent backfeed and fault propagation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing diode enabling redundant power paths with automatic failover. Use Value: 150 µA IR ensures <1.8 µW leakage per domain-critical for low-quiescent-current systems meeting ISO 16750-2 sleep mode requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB560-E3/54 (Vishay) | Same 60 V / 5 A rating; VF = 0.72 V @ 5 A; TO-220AC package; RθJA = 50°C/W (with heatsink). | Requires external heatsink for >2 A continuous; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules. | Select when board-level thermal management allows discrete heatsinking and leaded assembly is acceptable. |
| SS5P6L (ON Semiconductor) | 60 V / 5 A; VF = 0.58 V @ 5 A; PowerFLAT 5x6 package; RθJA = 40°C/W (FR-4, 2 oz Cu). | Lower VF but larger footprint (5 mm × 6 mm vs. 4 mm × 6.5 mm); no AEC-Q101 qualification stated. | Select when ultra-low VF is prioritized over automotive qualification and board area is available. |
Compared with SB560-E3/54 and SS5P6L, PDS560-13 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, PowerDI5's compact thermally efficient footprint, and balanced VF/leakage performance-making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical automotive ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The PDS560-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at full 5 A IO, ambient temperature must be limited to ≤75°C (per Fig. 5 derating curve), assuming RθJA = 70°C/W on polyimide PCB. At higher ambient, current must be reduced to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
Is the PowerDI5 package compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes-the PowerDI5 package uses matte tin–plated copper leadframe and is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature up to 260°C is supported; recommended profile follows IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D with ramp rates and soak times aligned to Diodes' application note AN-4001.
Does PDS560-13 require external thermal vias for thermal management?
No-its RθJS of 2.0°C/W enables effective heat transfer directly from the cathode pad to the PCB copper pour. Thermal vias are optional; minimum recommended cathode pad area is 9.4 mm × 7.2 mm (per Note 7), and 2 oz copper is required for rated performance without additional vias.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability in automotive environments?
The guard ring mitigates electric field crowding at the die edge, raising the transient voltage threshold before edge breakdown occurs. This directly improves immunity to load dump pulses (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2), extending device lifetime in harsh automotive electrical systems.
