Product details
Overview
PUAD8BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is an AEC-Q101-qualified ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier with 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 25 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr), designed for high-frequency switching in automotive and industrial DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the PUAD8BH datasheet, PUAD8BH pinout, PUAD8BH application, or PUAD8BH equivalent, key selection criteria include its ThinDPAK package thermal performance (RθJC = 2.0 °C/W), low forward voltage (0.92 V at 8 A, 25°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This single-die planar rectifier operates with ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns) and low junction capacitance (CJ = 101 pF at 1 MHz, 4 V), enabling efficient high-frequency snubber and flyback operation. Its 175°C maximum junction temperature and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance support harsh-environment reliability.
The device uses a cathode-banded polarity indicator and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Thermal design leverages its 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case resistance when mounted on an aluminum heat sink per specified test condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in DC/DC output rectification |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current at case temperature; determines power-handling capability in conduction mode |
| trr | ≤25 ns - Reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables >1 MHz switching without excessive switching loss |
| VF | 0.92 V max at IF = 8 A, TJ = 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current paths |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables precise heatsink sizing when mounted per JEDEC TO-252-AE layout |
| Qrr | 35 nC - Reverse recovery charge; quantifies stored charge dissipated during turn-off, critical for EMI and loss modeling |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UHAST per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
PUAD8BH is housed in a ThinDPAK (JEDEC TO-252, variation AE) package with three terminals: Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (Cathode), Pin 3 (Exposed Drain Pad / Cathode Tie). The exposed pad is electrically connected to the cathode and serves as the primary thermal path to the PCB copper pour or heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Main AC/switching node input; connects to transformer secondary or switch node in flyback/forward topologies |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Output node; ties to output capacitor and load; also connected to exposed pad (Pin 3) |
| Pin 3 (Exposed Pad) | Cathode Thermal & Electrical Tie | Provides low-inductance, low-resistance cathode connection and primary thermal conduction path to PCB heatsinking area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including temperature cycling, high-temp reverse bias, and unbiased HAST |
| Ultra-fast recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns) | Minimizes switching losses and EMI generation in >500 kHz DC/DC converters and snubber circuits |
| Low RθJC = 2.0 °C/W | Enables compact thermal design with direct PCB copper heatsinking-no external heatsink required for ≤5 W dissipation |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow; supports standard SMT assembly without dry-pack or floor-life constraints |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets automotive ELV Directive and IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for sustainable manufacturing |
Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converters | Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12 V–48 V isolated DC/DC modules for ADAS ECUs and body control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-fast output rectifier replacing Schottky diodes where higher VRRM and lower leakage are required. Use Value: Enables 100 V blocking with <2 µA reverse leakage at 125°C-critical for system-level efficiency and thermal stability in engine bay environments. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in high-density 24 V/48 V telecom and server PSUs operating at 300–600 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency, low-loss rectifier in synchronous or quasi-resonant topologies requiring fast trr and low Qrr. Use Value: 35 nC Qrr and 25 ns trr reduce turn-off loss by ~30% vs. standard FRDs, improving full-load efficiency by 0.4–0.6%. |
| Snubber Networks | High-Frequency Flyback Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8L06D | 600 V VRRM, 8 A IF, trr = 35 ns, TO-252 package | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery; suited for PFC stages, not optimal for high-frequency DC/DC output | Select PUAD8BH when VRRM ≤ 100 V and trr < 25 ns is mandatory for EMI-sensitive designs |
| MBR8100CT | 100 V VRRM, dual common-cathode Schottky, 8 A per diode, VF ≈ 0.75 V, no recovery time | No reverse recovery charge, but higher IR (>100 µA at 125°C); unsuitable for high-temp reverse-bias hold | Choose PUAD8BH over MBR8100CT when reverse leakage <2 µA at 125°C and AEC-Q101 compliance are required |
Compared with STTH8L06D and MBR8100CT, PUAD8BH uniquely balances 100 V rating, sub-25 ns trr, AEC-Q101 qualification, and <2 µA IR at 125°C-making it the only option meeting all four criteria for automotive DC/DC rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PUAD8BH?
The PUAD8BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +175°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows continuous operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Derating curves in the PUAD8BH datasheet define allowable IF versus case temperature, with full 8 A rated up to ~110°C case temperature when properly heatsunk.
Is PUAD8BH pin-compatible with other ThinDPAK rectifiers like PUAD8DH?
Yes, PUAD8BH shares identical ThinDPAK (TO-252-AE) mechanical footprint and pinout with PUAD8DH, differing only in VRRM (100 V vs. 200 V) and marking code (UAD8B vs. UAD8D). Both use Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Exposed Cathode Pad. No PCB layout change is needed when substituting between them within voltage design margins.
Does PUAD8BH require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No-PUAD8BH is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1) per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies SMT assembly and eliminates dry-pack storage costs, supporting high-volume automotive and industrial manufacturing without process overhead.
What is the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) specification for PUAD8BH?
The PUAD8BH specifies a typical reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of 35 nC under conditions of IF = 8.0 A, di/dt = 200 A/µs, and VR = 100 V. This value is measured and guaranteed per the manufacturer's test methodology and is essential for calculating switching loss and optimizing snubber design in high-frequency converters.
How does PUAD8BH's forward voltage compare at elevated junction temperatures?
PUAD8BH exhibits negative temperature coefficient behavior: VF decreases with rising junction temperature. At IF = 8 A, VF is 0.92 V max at 25°C and drops to 0.77 V at 125°C. This characteristic improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at operating temperature-key for automotive thermal management.
