Product details
Overview
PU2BA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 100 V ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 0.87 V forward voltage at 2 A/25°C, and 50 A surge current capability. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or snubber diode in DC/DC converters operating at high switching frequencies.
For engineers reviewing the PU2BA datasheet, PU2BA pinout, PU2BA application, or PU2BA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, ultra-fast trr ≤25 ns, low VF at elevated temperature, thermal resistance RθJA = 78 °C/W on standard PCB, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The PU2BA employs planar silicon technology to achieve fast soft-recovery characteristics with low stored charge (Qrr = 31 nC) and minimal reverse recovery current (IRM = 3.6 A). Its single-die configuration and DO-214AC package support automated SMT assembly while maintaining robust thermal performance up to TJ = 175 °C.
Designed for high-frequency operation, the PU2BA delivers stable reverse leakage (<2 µA at 25°C, <10 µA at 125°C) and low junction capacitance (CJ = 33 pF at 4 V), enabling reliable performance in snubber networks and synchronous rectification auxiliary paths where rapid turn-off and low capacitive loading are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R01 | Same IF = 2 A, VRRM = 100 V, but trr = 35 ns (typ), VF = 0.95 V @ 2 A | Higher conduction and switching loss; less suitable for >300 kHz designs | Select PU2BA when trr ≤25 ns and Qrr ≤31 nC are required for minimal EMI and loss |
| ES2D | VRRM = 200 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns (max), VF = 0.92 V @ 2 A | Higher voltage rating trades off speed; not drop-in due to different VRRM and trr | PU2BA preferred for 100 V systems needing fastest recovery; ES2D only if 200 V blocking is mandatory |
Compared with STTH2R01 and ES2D, the PU2BA offers the lowest trr and Qrr among 2 A, 100 V ultra-fast rectifiers, making it optimal for high-frequency, low-loss DC/DC outputs and snubbers where switching speed directly impacts efficiency and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for PU2BA?
The PU2BA has a VRRM of 100 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 100 V of reverse voltage in repetitive operation. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and distinguishes PU2BA from the 200 V-rated PU2DA variant. Designers must ensure circuit peak reverse voltage remains below this limit to prevent avalanche breakdown. The PU2BA datasheet specifies VR(RMS) = 70 V, aligning with standard derating practices for sinusoidal waveforms.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of PU2BA and how is it measured?
The PU2BA exhibits trr ≤25 ns under test condition IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A. An alternate condition (IF = 1.0 A, di/dt = 50 A/µs, VR = 30 V) yields trr ≤30 ns. These values are measured per JEDEC standards and reflect the device's ultra-fast soft-recovery behavior. The PU2BA's low trr directly reduces switching losses in high-frequency topologies, making it especially valuable in modern DC/DC converters where efficiency and EMI are critical.
Is PU2BA suitable for use in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the PU2BA supports junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C, with thermal resistance RθJA = 78 °C/W on a standard 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad. Its high TJ(max) allows operation in enclosed industrial power supplies or automotive under-hood auxiliary circuits where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Derating curves in the PU2BA datasheet confirm usable forward current down to 1.2 A at 125 °C ambient, ensuring robustness without external heatsinking.
Does PU2BA have halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, the PU2BA uses halogen-free molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21 and is fully RoHS compliant. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and moisture sensitivity level is rated at Level 1 per J-STD-020-eliminating pre-bake steps prior to reflow. These attributes make PU2BA suitable for environmentally regulated industrial, medical, and consumer products where material compliance is mandatory.
How does the forward voltage (VF) of PU2BA vary with temperature and current?
The PU2BA shows VF = 0.87 V (max) at IF = 2 A and TJ = 25 °C, decreasing to 0.73 V (typ) at TJ = 125 °C due to negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions. At 1 A, VF is 0.81 V (typ) at 25 °C and 0.66 V (typ) at 125 °C. This behavior lowers conduction loss at elevated temperatures, improving thermal stability in sustained-load applications. All VF values for PU2BA are verified under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to avoid self-heating artifacts.
