Product details
Overview
PU3DB from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200V, 3A ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) 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 high-frequency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the PU3DB datasheet, PU3DB pinout, PU3DB application, or PU3DB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V VRRM, ultra-fast trr ≤25ns, low RθJA = 71°C/W on standard PCB, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power supply design.
Technical Context
The PU3DB employs planar silicon technology optimized for fast switching with low stored charge (Qrr = 51nC) and minimal reverse recovery current (IRM = 4.9A). Its thermal design supports continuous 3A conduction with junction-to-lead resistance of 14°C/W.
Rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V and surge current up to 85A (8.3ms), the device operates across –55°C to +175°C and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; defines usable input range in 100–200V DC/DC stages |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous forward current rating at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per curve Fig.1 |
| trr | 25 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; enables >1MHz switching without excessive switching loss |
| VF (max) | 0.93 V - At IF = 3.0A, TJ = 25°C; directly determines conduction loss in high-current paths |
| Qrr | 51 nC - Reverse recovery charge; impacts EMI generation and snubber sizing in hard-switched topologies |
| RθJA | 71 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 10mm × 10mm Cu pad; sets minimum heatsinking requirement |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode-indicated band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck freewheel path) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to output rail or positive bus; blocks 200V reverse during off-state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤25ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI in >500kHz DC/DC converters and active clamp circuits |
| Low VF (0.93V max @ 3A) | Minimizes conduction loss in high-current, low-voltage output stages (e.g., 5V/3A rails) |
| High TJMAX (175°C) | Enables operation in thermally constrained environments without derating below full 3A current |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for green manufacturing compliance |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectification | DC/DC Buck Converter Freewheel Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12–24V output flyback adapters operating at 65–130kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering during transformer reset; handles 3A average load with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 0.93V VF reduces secondary conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard FR107, improving efficiency at light-to-moderate loads. | Use Scenario: Freewheel path in 12V-input, 5V/3A synchronous buck converter where high-side FET is actively controlled. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation during high-side FET off-time; trr ≤25ns prevents shoot-through risk. Use Value: 51nC Qrr limits reverse recovery energy dissipation, reducing MOSFET stress and gate driver loading. |
| Snubber Network Clamp Diode | Industrial Motor Drive Brake Circuit |
Use Scenario: Clamp diode in RCD snubber across primary-side MOSFET in offline SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rapidly conducts snubber capacitor discharge pulse (tens of ns duration) after MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 25ns trr ensures full recovery before next switching cycle, preventing voltage overshoot from incomplete charge removal. | Use Scenario: Regenerative braking path in 24V DC motor controllers with H-bridge topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts back-EMF current during PWM off-time; rated for 85A non-repetitive surge during emergency stop. Use Value: 175°C TJMAX and 85A IFSM support short-duration, high-energy braking pulses without thermal runaway. |
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 | VRRM = 600V, IF = 3A, trr = 35ns, DO-214AA | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery; higher VF (1.15V) | Preferred only when system requires >200V blocking margin; not optimal for 200V-class high-frequency designs |
| SS3H9 | VRRM = 90V, IF = 3A, trr = 30ns, DO-214AA | Lower VRRM; similar speed but insufficient for 200V applications | Valid alternative only in ≤90V systems; unsuitable as direct replacement for PU3DB's 200V rating |
Compared with STTH3L06S and SS3H9, the PU3DB uniquely balances 200V VRRM, 25ns trr, and 0.93V VF in DO-214AA-making it the only option among the three qualified for 100–200V, high-frequency, low-loss rectification without over-spec'ing voltage or sacrificing speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for PU3DB?
The PU3DB has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the A2210 datasheet. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block continuously without breakdown under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for 200V-class power conversion stages.
Does PU3DB have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, the PU3DB specifies a reverse recovery time (trr) of ≤25 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A. This value is listed in the Electrical Specifications table and confirms its classification as an ultra-fast rectifier suitable for high-frequency switching applications.
What package type does PU3DB use, and is it lead-free?
The PU3DB uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads. It is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements-fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of PU3DB at 3A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of PU3DB is 0.86 V typical and 0.93 V maximum at IF = 3.0A and TJ = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Specifications table. This low VF minimizes conduction losses in high-current paths such as DC/DC output stages.
Is PU3DB suitable for use in automotive applications?
The PU3DB is not qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101. The datasheet explicitly states that TSC products-including PU3DB-are "not designed for use in medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications," and no AEC qualification data is provided. For automotive-grade alternatives, consult TSC's AEC-Q101-certified rectifier portfolio.
