Product details
Overview
PNE20020EP-QX from Nexperia is a hyperfast recovery rectifier optimized for automotive-grade power conversion, featuring 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, 25 ns maximum reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It serves as a high-efficiency unidirectional switch in DC-DC converters, freewheeling paths, and reverse polarity protection circuits in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20020EP-QX datasheet, PNE20020EP-QX pinout, PNE20020EP-QX application, or PNE20020EP-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤ 25 ns at 25 °C, VF = 735–825 mV at IF = 2 A / Tj = 125 °C, IR ≤ 20 µA at VR = 200 V / Tj = 125 °C, and CFP5 (SOD128) package thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 10 K/W.
Technical Context
This planar-die, Pt-doped hyperfast rectifier uses clip-bond technology to minimize parasitic inductance and enhance thermal transfer from junction to solder point. Its step- and ramp-recovery behavior is characterized under controlled dIF/dt (50–100 A/µs) and defined IR(meas) conditions, enabling predictable switching loss modeling in high-frequency (>20 kHz) topologies.
The device operates with stable VF across Tj = −40 °C to 175 °C and maintains low IR up to 125 °C, supporting robust performance in under-hood automotive environments. Its 1 mm typical package height and SOD128 footprint ensure compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts requiring reflow or wave soldering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Withstands repetitive reverse transients in 12 V/24 V automotive systems without breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 2 A - Supports continuous conduction mode operation in 30–60 W DC-DC stages with δ = 0.5 square-wave drive. |
| trr | ≤25 ns - Enables efficient operation at switching frequencies up to 500 kHz with minimal commutation loss. |
| VF @ 2 A / 125 °C | 735–825 mV - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-ambient-temperature zones. |
| IR @ 200 V / 125 °C | 1–20 µA - Ensures negligible leakage current in reverse-biased standby states of battery management circuits. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 10 K/W - Direct thermal path from die to cathode tab enables >1.5 W power dissipation on 1 cm² copper pad. |
| Qrr | 9 nC - Predictable reverse recovery charge simplifies snubber design and EMI filtering in buck/flyback outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP5 (SOD128), a surface-mounted plastic package measuring 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm with 4 mm lead pitch and flat leads for low-profile mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main current exit terminal; large-area metal tab provides primary thermal conduction path to PCB. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current entry terminal; designed for low-inductance connection to switching node or input rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns) | Enables high-frequency operation while limiting diode-induced voltage spikes and EMI in synchronous rectifier flyback designs. |

| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling (−40 °C to 150 °C). |
| Planar die with Pt doping | Provides tightly controlled carrier lifetime for consistent trr and Qrr across production lots and temperature range. |
| Reflow/wave solder compatible | Withstands JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profile (peak 260 °C) and wave solder temperatures without delamination or parameter shift. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supply | Automotive LED Driver Freewheeling |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Rectification and freewheeling in 12 V input DC-DC converters supplying microcontrollers and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path during MOSFET off-time; clamps inductive kickback from solenoid drivers. Use Value: 25 ns trr minimizes energy loss in 200–500 kHz switching cycles, reducing heatsink requirements in sealed ECU enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in constant-current LED drivers powering headlamps and DRLs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss return path during PWM off-phase; handles transient currents up to 60 A IFSM. Use Value: 735 mV VF at 125 °C ensures <1.5 W conduction loss at 2 A, maintaining luminous flux stability over ambient temperature swings. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Start-Stop System Battery Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode preventing damage from accidental battery reversal during service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-conducting barrier during correct polarity; blocking element during reverse connection. Use Value: 200 V VRRM withstands load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a), while 1 µA IR at 25 °C prevents standby drain. |
Use Scenario: Input rectification and hold-up in 12 V battery-supplied start-stop controllers managing alternator output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts charging current during engine-on phase; blocks reverse current during cranking dips. Use Value: Rth(j-sp) = 10 K/W allows 1.575 W dissipation on standard FR4, sustaining 2 A continuous current even at Tamb = 105 °C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R02DJF | Same VRRM (200 V), IF(AV) = 2 A, but trr = 35 ns (typ), VF = 850 mV @ 2 A / 125 °C, DO-214AC package. | Higher trr increases switching loss in >300 kHz designs; larger DO-214AC footprint limits board density. | Select when legacy DO-214AC layout exists and frequency < 250 kHz; avoid where EMI or thermal constraints dominate. |
| ONsemi MUR220SFT1G | VRRM = 200 V, IF(AV) = 2 A, trr = 30 ns (max), VF = 950 mV @ 2 A / 125 °C, SOD-123FL package. | SOD-123FL has higher Rth(j-a) (150 K/W) vs. CFP5's 10 K/W to solder point, limiting power handling. | Acceptable for low-duty-cycle or low-power (<0.5 W) freewheeling; not recommended for continuous 2 A automotive loads. |
Compared with STTH2R02DJF and MUR220SFT1G, PNE20020EP-QX delivers superior thermal performance via clip-bonded CFP5 packaging and tighter trr control-critical for compact, high-reliability automotive power stages operating continuously at elevated junction temperatures.

FAQ
Is PNE20020EP-QX suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes. The device is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its CFP5 (SOD128) package uses tin-plated flat leads and is rated for both reflow and wave soldering, with validated reliability after thermal cycling and mechanical shock testing.
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation at this temperature when mounted on an FR4 PCB with a 1 cm² cathode copper pad. Derating curves in Figure 8 confirm 2 A IF(AV) capability at Tamb = 105 °C under δ = 0.5 square-wave conditions.
How does the Pt doping affect reverse recovery behavior?
Pt doping controls minority carrier lifetime in the silicon epitaxial layer, resulting in tightly distributed trr (10–25 ns) and Qrr (9 nC) across temperature and lot-to-lot production. This ensures consistent switching loss and reduced EMI compared to non-doped or gold-doped alternatives.
Can PNE20020EP-QX replace standard fast recovery diodes in existing designs?
Yes-if the existing design uses a 200 V / 2 A fast rectifier in SOD128 or compatible footprint. PNE20020EP-QX offers lower trr (25 ns vs. typical 50–100 ns), lower VF at high temperature, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Verify layout clearance for 1 mm height and validate thermal margin using Rth(j-sp) = 10 K/W.
