Product details
Overview
PE1BA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 100V ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 15ns reverse recovery time, 0.85V forward voltage at 1A/25°C, and 30A surge current capability. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or snubber diode in DC/DC converters operating up to several hundred kHz.
For engineers reviewing the PE1BA datasheet, PE1BA pinout, PE1BA application, or PE1BA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VRRM, ultra-fast trr ≤15ns, low RθJA of 71°C/W on standard PCB, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The PE1BA employs planar silicon technology optimized for fast switching with low Qrr (10.5nC) and minimal stored charge, enabling reduced switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Its single-die configuration and cathode-band polarity marking support automated placement and unambiguous orientation on PCBs.
Thermal performance is characterized by RθJL = 22°C/W and RθJC = 22°C/W, indicating efficient heat conduction from junction to lead or case-critical for sustained 1A operation at TJ up to +175°C in compact power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for DC bus or snubber voltage rating |
| IF | 1 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per Fig.1 |
| trr | ≤15 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; enables high-frequency operation with low switching loss |
| VF | 0.85 V @ 1A/25°C - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load in output rectification |
| Qrr | 10.5 nC - Reverse recovery charge determines turn-off energy loss and EMI generation in switching nodes |
| RθJA | 71 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 5mm × 5mm Cu pad; defines required heatsinking for thermal design |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with molded plastic body (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated leads, and cathode band polarity indicator. Weight: 0.060g.

| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck sync rectifier or snubber return) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; connected to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive or DC bus) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤15ns) | Minimizes turn-off loss and voltage overshoot in high-frequency DC/DC converters and active clamp circuits |

Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Output Rectification | Snubber Network Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in secondary-side rectification of isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24V at up to 1A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during transformer reset phase; blocks reverse voltage during primary switch conduction. Use Value: 15ns trr and 10.5nC Qrr reduce switching node ringing and EMI, while 0.85V VF maintains >88% efficiency at full load. | Use Scenario: Placed across MOSFET drain-source or transformer primary to absorb leakage inductance energy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode conducting only during brief voltage spikes; must recover rapidly before next switching cycle. Use Value: Ultra-fast trr ≤15ns prevents snap-off oscillation and ensures reliable clamping at >200kHz switching frequencies. |
| DC/DC Converter Freewheeling Path | High-Frequency Inverter Auxiliary Rectification |
Use Scenario: Provides low-loss current path in buck or boost converter inductors during high-side switch off-time. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement where gate drive complexity is avoided; conducts for ~50–90% duty cycle. Use Value: 1A continuous rating and 71°C/W RθJA allow stable operation on minimal copper area, reducing BOM count vs. MOSFET solutions. | Use Scenario: Rectifies auxiliary bias windings or gate-drive transformer outputs in servo drives and UPS inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability AC-to-DC conversion for control circuitry requiring clean, ripple-free low-current DC. Use Value: −55°C to +175°C TJ range and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance ensure long-term stability in thermally cycled industrial enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06 | VRRM = 600V, trr = 25ns, VF = 1.15V @ 1A - higher voltage rating but slower and higher loss | Suitable for 400V PFC front-ends; not optimal for 100V snubbers due to excessive VF and trr | Select PE1BA when VRRM ≤100V and trr < 20ns is required for EMI-sensitive layouts |
| MBR1100 | VRRM = 100V, trr = 35ns, VF = 0.82V @ 1A - Schottky architecture, no reverse recovery but limited to 125°C max TJ | Better for low-VF priority below 125°C; unsuitable for 175°C ambient or high-di/dt snubbers | Choose PE1BA over MBR1100 when junction temperature exceeds 125°C or di/dt >100A/µs demands true ultra-fast recovery |
Compared with STTH1R06 and MBR1100, the PE1BA uniquely balances 100V VRRM, 15ns trr, 175°C TJ rating, and 0.85V VF-making it the preferred choice for compact, high-temperature, high-frequency rectification where both speed and thermal robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the PE1BA?
The PE1BA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive modules. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm usable current capacity down to −55°C storage temperature. The PE1BA maintains specified electrical parameters within this full range when mounted per JEDEC DO-214AC thermal test conditions.
Does the PE1BA have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, the PE1BA specifies trr ≤15ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A. An alternate condition (IF = 1.0A, di/dt = 50A/µs, VR = 30V) yields trr ≤23ns. These values are measured and guaranteed per the A2301 revision datasheet, confirming its classification as an ultra-fast rectifier suitable for >200kHz switching applications.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of the PE1BA at 1A and 25°C?
The PE1BA exhibits a typical forward voltage of 0.85V at IF = 1.0A and TJ = 25°C, with a maximum of 0.92V under the same conditions. At elevated temperature (TJ = 125°C), VF drops to 0.69V typical, reflecting the negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions. This VF directly determines conduction loss in the PE1BA's intended applications.
Is the PE1BA RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the PE1BA is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the features section of the A2301 datasheet. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002 solderability standards. These compliance attributes are certified for the PE1BA and documented in TSC's material declarations.
What package type does the PE1BA use, and what are its key mechanical properties?
The PE1BA uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, with dimensions per JEDEC DO-214 Variation AC. Key mechanical properties include UL 94V-0 flammability rating, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, moisture sensitivity level 1, and 0.060g mass. The cathode is marked by a visible band, and leads are matte tin plated for compatibility with standard reflow profiles-no pre-baking required.
