Product details
Overview
PU3DA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200V, 3A ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 25ns reverse recovery time, 0.93V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or snubber diode in DC/DC converters operating above 100kHz.
For engineers reviewing the PU3DA datasheet, PU3DA pinout, PU3DA application, or PU3DA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V VRRM, ultra-fast trr ≤25ns, low RθJA of 76°C/W on standard PCB, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power supplies and automotive auxiliary systems.
Technical Context
This single-die planar silicon rectifier delivers ultra-fast switching performance via optimized carrier lifetime control, enabling operation in high-frequency DC/DC topologies where reverse recovery loss must be minimized. Its 23°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports reliable 3A continuous conduction when mounted on 5mm×5mm copper pads.
The device exhibits low Qrr (51nC) and low CJ (47pF), reducing switching noise and EMI in snubber networks. Reverse leakage remains ≤10µA at 125°C, ensuring stable blocking under elevated ambient conditions typical in enclosed power modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 170V AC-derived rails or 150V DC bus applications |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating; supports 36W dissipation at 0.93V drop in TO-220-equivalent thermal context |
| trr | 25 ns - Measured at IF=0.5A/IR=1.0A/Irr=0.25A; enables <1MHz switching without excessive turn-off loss |
| VF (max) | 0.93 V - At 3A and 25°C; contributes to <2.8W conduction loss per diode in synchronous rectifier replacement roles |
| RθJA | 76 °C/W - On 5mm×5mm Cu pad; allows ~2.3W power dissipation before reaching 175°C junction limit at 25°C ambient |
| Qrr | 51 nC - Total reverse recovery charge; determines turn-off energy loss in hard-switched flyback or forward converters |
| IFSM | 85 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms); withstands inrush currents during cold-start of 12V/24V input power stages |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with cathode-indicating band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Weight: 0.059g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); requires low-inductance layout to minimize voltage overshoot during turn-off |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; cathode band orientation must match PCB silkscreen to prevent assembly error |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤25ns) | Reduces turn-off switching loss by >40% vs. standard fast rectifiers in 300kHz–1MHz DC/DC converters |
| Low forward voltage (VF ≤0.93V @3A) | Lowers conduction loss to <2.8W at full load, easing thermal design in space-constrained SMPS layouts |
| High surge rating (IFSM = 85A) | Survives repeated cold-start surges in 24V industrial power inputs without degradation |
| RoHS & halogen-free construction | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for green electronics manufacturing |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without dry-pack handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S (STMicroelectronics) | 600V VRRM, 3A, 35ns trr, TO-277 package | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery; larger footprint than SMA | Select when system requires >300V blocking or higher surge immunity, accepting 40% higher turn-off loss |
| ES3D (Vishay) | 200V VRRM, 3A, 35ns trr, DO-214AC package | Same package and voltage rating, but 10ns slower recovery and 0.05V higher VF | Acceptable where cost is critical and 25ns trr is not required for EMI or efficiency targets |
Compared with STTH3L06S and ES3D, PU3DA offers the fastest recovery (25ns) and lowest VF in DO-214AC, making it optimal for high-frequency, high-efficiency DC/DC where thermal headroom and EMI are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PU3DA?
The PU3DA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision A2210. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies or under-hood automotive modules when properly heatsinked via PCB copper area.
Does PU3DA have a specified moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, PU3DA is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking. This eliminates dry-pack requirements and simplifies SMT line integration for high-volume manufacturing of PU3DA-based power boards.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for PU3DA?
The PU3DA reverse recovery time is specified as ≤25ns under the condition: IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A, as documented in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor PU3BA–PU3DA datasheet (A2210). This reflects real-world hard-switching behavior in DC/DC converters.
Is PU3DA halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, PU3DA is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound and plating meet environmental compliance standards required for CE-marked industrial and consumer equipment.
What does the 'x' in PU3xA ordering code represent for PU3DA?
The 'x' in PU3xA denotes the peak reverse voltage rating: for PU3DA, 'D' corresponds to 200V VRRM, distinguishing it from PU3BA (100V) within the same DO-214AC package family. This coding is defined in the Ordering Information section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet A2210.
