Product details
Overview
PNE20010ERX from Nexperia is a hyperfast recovery rectifier diode optimized for high-frequency switching applications, featuring 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1 A average forward current, and ≤25 ns reverse recovery time. It employs Pt-doped lifetime control and planar die technology in a low-inductance SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount package, enabling use in compact DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths where fast turn-off and low switching loss are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20010ERX datasheet, PNE20010ERX pinout, PNE20010ERX application, or PNE20010ERX equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr ≤25 ns at 25 °C, VF = 845–930 mV @ IF = 1 A, Tj = 25 °C, IR ≤200 nA @ VR = 200 V, and thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 15 K/W to cathode solder point - all confirmed per Nexperia's 10 January 2024 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, planar-structured silicon rectifier with Pt-doped carrier lifetime control to achieve hyperfast recovery without soft recovery trade-offs. Its clip-bond construction enhances thermal conduction and power handling while maintaining low parasitic inductance.
The SOD123W package features a flat lead profile (height typ. 1 mm) and standardized footprint compatible with reflow and wave soldering. Reverse recovery is characterized under two test conditions: step recovery (trr = 10–25 ns) and ramp recovery (trr = 16–20 ns), both measured at Tj = 25 °C with defined dIF/dt and IR(meas) thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks reliably in circuit operation without avalanche breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 1 A - Average forward current sustainable at δ = 0.5 duty cycle, f = 20 kHz square wave, with solder point temperature ≤165 °C. |
| trr | ≤25 ns - Measured reverse recovery time under step-recovery conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A, IR(meas) = 0.25 A), critical for minimizing switching losses in SMPS. |
| VF @ 1 A, 25 °C | 845–930 mV - Forward voltage drop defining conduction loss at rated DC current and room temperature. |
| IR @ 200 V, 25 °C | 10–200 nA - Reverse leakage current determining off-state power loss and voltage hold capability in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 15 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point, enabling accurate thermal design when mounted on FR4 with 1 cm² cathode pad. |
| Cd @ 4 V | 17 pF - Junction capacitance influencing high-frequency impedance and EMI behavior in snubberless or resonant topologies. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the SOD123W (CFP3) plastic surface-mount package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat leads, standard footprint per Nexperia's reflow/wave soldering guidelines (Fig. 16/17). Mounting pad for cathode recommended at 1 cm² for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Main current exit terminal; electrically and thermally connected to clip-bonded tab - primary heat path to PCB copper. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Current entry terminal; connects to input/source side of rectification path; minimal thermal contribution vs. cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast recovery (trr ≤25 ns) | Enables operation up to ~1 MHz switching frequencies with minimal reverse recovery loss and reduced EMI generation. |
| Pt-doped lifetime control | Provides precise, stable carrier lifetime tuning - ensures consistent trr across temperature and lot-to-lot without soft recovery tail. |
| Clip-bond construction | Reduces thermal resistance by 30% vs. wire-bond equivalents (Rth(j-sp) = 15 K/W), supporting higher continuous power density in space-constrained layouts. |
| Low-inductance SOD123W package | Minimizes parasitic ringing during hard-switching transitions, improving reliability in flyback and synchronous rectifier auxiliary paths. |
| Reflow/wave solder compatible | Validated for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-20) and wave soldering - eliminates assembly process qualification risk. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 12 V → 3.3 V/5 V flyback or forward converters operating at 200–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve conducting during transformer reset phase; timing-critical due to trr-driven overlap loss. Use Value: 25 ns trr reduces reverse recovery charge Qrr to 9 nC, cutting switching loss by ≥40% vs. standard fast recovery diodes in same topology. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for USB-C PD adapters and industrial 24 V power modules exposed to accidental reverse connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking element placed before LDO or DC-DC controller; conducts only during correct polarity. Use Value: Low VF (845 mV) minimizes insertion loss (<0.85 W at 1 A), while 200 V VRRM provides margin against line transients up to ±150 V. |
| Freewheeling Diode in Motor Drivers | Snubberless Flyback Clamp |
|
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for brushed DC motor H-bridge outputs and stepper driver half-bridges operating at PWM frequencies >100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during MOSFET off-time; must recover before next PWM edge. Use Value: 20 ns ramp-recovery trr ensures full recovery within 50 ns dead-time windows, preventing shoot-through in high-speed gate drivers. |
Use Scenario: Clamp diode in discontinuous-mode flyback converters eliminating external RC snubbers in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Absorbs transformer leakage energy during MOSFET turn-off; requires low Cd and fast trr to limit voltage overshoot. Use Value: 17 pF capacitance and 25 ns trr jointly suppress VDS spikes to <1.2× VOUT + VOR, enabling 650 V MOSFET use without snubber. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R02AY | Same VRRM (200 V) and IF(AV) (1 A), but trr = 35 ns (typ.), VF = 950 mV @ 1 A, 25 °C; TO-277 package (higher Rth(j-a)). | Higher conduction and switching loss; less suitable for >300 kHz designs or thermally constrained PCBs. | Select only if legacy STTH footprint compatibility is required and frequency <250 kHz. |
| ON Semi MUR120E | VRRM = 200 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, but trr = 30 ns (min), VF = 1.05 V @ 1 A; DO-41 through-hole package. | Larger footprint, no SMT compatibility, higher thermal resistance limits power density in modern layouts. | Use only for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair where SOD123W mounting is unavailable. |
Compared with STTH1R02AY and MUR120E, PNE20010ERX delivers superior high-frequency efficiency via 25 ns trr and 15 K/W Rth(j-sp), enabling smaller heatsinking and higher power density in SMT-based 200–500 kHz power stages - critical for space-constrained USB-C and IoT power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PNE20010ERX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 175 °C, validated per IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation at this temperature requires thermal design ensuring Rth(j-sp) ≤15 K/W to cathode solder point, typically achieved using a 1 cm² copper pad on FR4 PCB per Nexperia's layout guidance.
Does PNE20010ERX support automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (v.4, Jan 2024), PNE20010ERX is explicitly designated non-automotive qualified. It lacks AEC-Q101 stress testing and automotive-grade screening; for automotive use, Nexperia recommends its -Q qualified alternatives such as PNE20010ER-Q.
How does the Pt-doping affect reverse recovery behavior?
Pt doping controls minority carrier lifetime to achieve sharp, consistent reverse recovery without soft recovery tails. This yields predictable trr ≤25 ns across temperature and current, reducing EMI and enabling tighter dead-time control in synchronous rectifiers versus gold-doped or uncontrolled diodes.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for reflow soldering?
Nexperia specifies a reflow footprint with 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm solder lands, 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm solder resist opening, and 0.1 mm stencil thickness (Fig. 16). The occupied area is 2.1 mm × 1.6 mm, matching the SOD123W outline to ensure coplanarity and void-free solder joints.
