Product details
Overview
PNE20040EPE from Nexperia is a 200 V, 4 A hyperfast recovery rectifier in a CFP15B (SOT1289B) surface-mount package, featuring trr ≤ 30 ns, VF = 710–780 mV at 4 A/125 °C, and Pt-doped lifetime control for precise switching behavior-used in engine control units and freewheeling circuits where low reverse recovery charge and high thermal robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20040EPE datasheet, PNE20040EPE pinout, PNE20040EPE application, or PNE20040EPE equivalent, key selection criteria include verified trr ≤ 30 ns ramp recovery, dual-anode configuration for parallel current handling, clip-bond thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W), and SMT compatibility with 0.95 mm profile on FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This hyperfast rectifier employs planar die technology with platinum diffusion for tightly controlled minority carrier lifetime, enabling sub-30 ns reverse recovery under dIF/dt = 50 A/µs conditions. Its dual-anode (A1/A2) and single-cathode (K) structure supports symmetrical current sharing and reduced parasitic inductance in high-frequency switching paths.
The CFP15B package integrates a copper clip-bond interconnect and exposed cathode tab, delivering Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W to the solder point-critical for sustaining 4 A average forward current at Tsp ≤ 173 °C in compact power converters and ECU auxiliary supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR / VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in DC-link and flyback snubber circuits. |
| IF(AV) | 4 A - Average forward current at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 173 °C; enables compact 12–48 V power stage designs. |
| trr (ramp) | 18 ns - Reverse recovery time at dIF/dt = 50 A/µs, IF = 1 A, VR = 30 V, Tj = 25 °C; minimizes switching loss in >100 kHz SMPS. |
| VF @ 4 A / 125 °C | 710–780 mV - Forward voltage drop at rated current and elevated junction temperature; determines conduction loss in thermally constrained layouts. |
| IR @ 200 V / 125 °C | 1.5–10 µA - Reverse leakage current at max voltage and high temperature; ensures low standby loss in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| Cd @ 4 V / 1 MHz | 61 pF - Junction capacitance at low reverse bias; impacts high-frequency EMI and ringing in fast-switching nodes. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 1.2 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for high-power density. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP15B (SOT1289B): ultra-thin 5.8 × 4.3 × 0.95 mm SMD package with thermal-enhanced clip-bond construction, 2.13 mm lead pitch, and exposed cathode tab for low-inductance, high-current routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode 1 | Primary anode terminal; electrically identical to A2-enables dual-path current entry for lower effective series resistance. |
| 2 (A2) | Anode 2 | Secondary anode terminal; paired with A1 to distribute forward current and reduce localized heating in high-duty-cycle operation. |
| 3 (K) | Cathode | Common cathode with large-area exposed copper tab; serves as primary thermal and electrical return path to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast trr ≤ 30 ns | Enables clean zero-voltage switching in 200–500 kHz DC-DC converters without snubber networks. |
| Clip-bond thermal architecture | Reduces Rth(j-sp) to 1.2 K/W-supports 4 A continuous current with minimal PCB copper area (1 cm² cathode pad). |
| Pt-doped lifetime control | Ensures consistent, predictable trr and Qrr across temperature and production lots-critical for ECU timing stability. |
| Low-profile 0.95 mm height | Permits integration into space-constrained modules such as battery management systems and motor driver gate drives. |
| Planar die design | Delivers uniform current distribution and high surge robustness (IFSM = 130 A) for transient load handling. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supply | Freewheeling Diode in BLDC Motor Drivers |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Rectifying alternator output and regulating 12 V auxiliary rail in automotive ECUs under wide ambient (-40 °C to 125 °C) and transient load conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability output rectifier handling pulsed loads up to 4 A average, with trr < 30 ns to suppress voltage spikes during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: Low IR at 125 °C (≤10 µA) prevents battery drain in sleep mode; clip-bond thermal path sustains operation at Tsp = 173 °C without derating. |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across low-side MOSFETs in 3-phase BLDC inverters operating at 20–100 kHz PWM frequencies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery diode clamping inductive kickback, minimizing VFRM (<830 mV) and reducing EMI generation during commutation. Use Value: Dual-anode layout lowers effective forward resistance and distributes heat across two terminals-improving reliability over single-anode alternatives. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection Circuit | High-Frequency Switch-Mode Power Supply Output |
|
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode in 24 V industrial control inputs, guarding against accidental reverse battery connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF, low-inductance rectifier conducting full load current (up to 4 A) while blocking reverse voltage up to 200 V. Use Value: VF = 710–780 mV at 125 °C limits power dissipation to <3.1 W-eliminating need for heatsinks in DIN-rail mounted PLC modules. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification replacement in isolated 48 V telecom PSUs with 300 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hyperfast recovery element minimizing dead-time losses and reverse recovery energy (Qrr) in flyback and LLC topologies. Use Value: Cd = 61 pF at 4 V reduces capacitive coupling noise; trr ≤ 30 ns allows stable operation without oscillation in high dv/dt environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-4EY20 | Same 200 V / 4 A rating but TO-220AC package; trr = 35 ns (ramp); VF = 850 mV @ 4 A / 25 °C; no dual-anode. | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for ultra-thin SMT designs or high-density PCBs. | Select when board-level thermal mass is available and mechanical robustness outweighs profile constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR420 | 200 V / 4 A in DO-201AD; trr = 35 ns (step); VF = 950 mV @ 4 A / 25 °C; higher Rth(j-a) = 50 K/W. | Limited to low-power, low-frequency rectification; cannot sustain 4 A in SMT without significant derating. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-thermal-critical legacy designs with ample board area and airflow. |
Compared with VS-4EY20 and MUR420, PNE20040EPE delivers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W vs. >30 K/W), lower VF at high temperature, and SMT-compatible dual-anode layout-making it the only option qualified for space- and thermally constrained automotive and industrial power stages requiring sustained 4 A operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PNE20040EPE during reflow?
The device is qualified for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds. The datasheet specifies Tsp ≤ 173 °C for continuous 4 A operation, meaning post-reflow steady-state solder point temperature must remain below this threshold under full load-achievable using ≥1 cm² copper pad and proper thermal vias.
Can PNE20040EPE be used in place of a standard fast recovery diode like UF4007?
No-UF4007 has trr ≈ 75 ns and VF ≈ 1.7 V at 1 A, making it unsuitable for high-frequency (>100 kHz) or high-current (≥2 A) applications. PNE20040EPE's trr ≤ 30 ns and VF ≤ 780 mV at 4 A/125 °C deliver significantly lower switching and conduction losses, especially in thermally constrained automotive ECUs and BLDC drivers.
Does the dual-anode configuration require external balancing components?
No-A1 and A2 are internally symmetric and electrically identical. No external resistors or inductors are needed; both anodes may be connected in parallel to a common source node. Layout symmetry (equal trace length/impedance) is recommended to ensure balanced current sharing under dynamic conditions.
Is PNE20040EPE automotive-qualified?
Yes-Nexperia explicitly qualifies PNE20040EPE for automotive applications per AEC-Q101. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and high-temperature reverse bias life testing, and is listed in Nexperia's automotive-grade portfolio for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power subsystems.
