Product details
Overview
SBRT05U20S3Q from Diodes Incorporated is a 20 V, 0.5 A Trench Super Barrier Rectifier (SBR®) in SOD323 package, featuring ultra-low VF (0.33 V @ 0.5 A, +25°C), 70 µA max IR at 20 V/+150°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use in DC-DC converter freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the SBRT05U20S3Q datasheet, SBRT05U20S3Q pinout, SBRT05U20S3Q application, or SBRT05U20S3Q equivalent, this part serves as a high-temperature-stable, low-loss rectifier for space-constrained power rails requiring <0.4 V forward drop and <100 µA leakage at 150°C.
Technical Context
This TrenchSBR device uses patented super-barrier technology to achieve Schottky-like forward voltage with significantly improved reverse leakage stability versus conventional Schottky diodes - especially above 125°C. Its 150°C junction rating and soft-switching behavior reduce EMI in high-frequency switching topologies.
It operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with no gate control or bidirectional conduction. The SOD323 package enables surface-mount integration into compact DC-DC modules where thermal resistance (RθJA = 365°C/W) and low parasitic capacitance (10 pF @ 1 V) are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 20 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; sets safe operating limit in 12 V/24 V automotive rail clamping and polarity protection. |
| IO(AV) | 0.5 A - Continuous average forward current at +25°C ambient; derates to ~0.2 A at +100°C per Figure 1. |
| VF(MAX) | 0.40 V @ 0.5 A, +25°C - Enables <200 mW conduction loss at full load; critical for efficiency in portable and battery-fed converters. |
| IR(MAX) | 70 µA @ 20 V, +150°C - Low high-temp leakage preserves standby power integrity in under-hood automotive modules. |
| TJ(max) | +150°C - Rated junction temperature supports operation in engine-control units and ADAS power stages without forced cooling. |
| CJ | 10 pF @ 1 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching loss and noise coupling in >1 MHz DC-DC controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - 1.3 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.9 mm surface-mount plastic package with NiPdAu-plated copper leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, and cathode band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to input/source side of rectification path; must handle 10 A non-repetitive surge during startup transients. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to output/load side; sustains 20 V reverse bias continuously and withstands avalanche energy per spec. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Forward Voltage Drop | VF = 0.28–0.40 V across 0.1–0.5 A range enables >95% efficiency in 3.3 V/5 V buck converter outputs. |
| Superior Reverse Avalanche Capability | Rated IFSM = 10 A (8.3 ms half-sine) ensures robustness against inductive kickback in motor-drive freewheeling. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per AEC standard - required for PPAP submission. |
| Soft, Fast Switching | No reverse recovery tail current; reduces EMI generation and eliminates snubber need in 500 kHz–2 MHz SMPS designs. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | USB-C Power Delivery Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection on 12 V supply rail feeding microcontroller and CAN transceiver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between connector and LDO input. Use Value: Prevents damage from accidental battery reversal while adding <0.4 V dropout and <70 µA leakage at under-hood temperatures. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in synchronous-flyback secondary stage delivering 5–20 V at up to 3 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode paralleling synchronous MOSFET during dead-time intervals. Use Value: Soft switching suppresses voltage spikes that would otherwise stress GaN FETs and increase EMI filter size. |
| Industrial IoT Sensor Node | Medical Portable Infusion Pump |
Use Scenario: Input rectification for energy-harvesting circuit powered by piezoelectric or thermoelectric generator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage AC-to-DC conversion element in ultra-low-power (<100 µA quiescent) charging path. Use Value: 6 µA IR at +25°C and stable leakage up to +150°C preserve harvested energy and extend battery-less operation. | Use Scenario: Polarity protection on main Li-ion battery input to motor driver and MCU power domain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe series diode ensuring no reverse current flows during hot-swap or service disconnect. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free "Green" construction meet IEC 60601-1 safety and environmental compliance requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-VF rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT05U20S3Q-13 | Same die, identical electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs vs. 3,000 pcs). | No functional difference; used interchangeably where volume or reel size drives logistics choice. | Select -13 for high-volume production runs requiring fewer reel changes. |
| VBMS0520L-G3-08 | VF = 0.35 V @ 0.5 A, IR = 100 µA @ 20 V/+150°C; same SOD323 package but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial but not PPAP-critical programs. | Choose only if AEC-Q101 is not required and higher leakage is acceptable. |
Compared with SBRT05U20S3Q-13, the original -7 variant offers identical performance in a smaller reel format ideal for prototyping and low-volume builds; versus VBMS0520L-G3-08, it delivers tighter leakage control and formal automotive qualification - essential for safety-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
Is SBRT05U20S3Q still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued SBRT05U20S3Q (marked "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED" in DS38942 Rev. 2-4). Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports last-time-buy programs with full traceability and documentation for ongoing production needs.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated junction temperature is +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C ambient per Figure 1: IO drops linearly to ~0.2 A at +100°C and ~0.1 A at +125°C. Thermal design must ensure RθJA × PD + TA ≤ 150°C.
Does SBRT05U20S3Q support bidirectional current flow?
No - it is a unidirectional rectifier. Current flows only from anode to cathode under forward bias. Reverse conduction is blocked up to VRRM = 20 V; any attempt to force reverse current exceeds its rating and risks permanent damage.
Can SBRT05U20S3Q replace a standard Schottky diode in a 5 V buck converter?
Yes - with advantages: lower VF improves efficiency, and superior high-temperature leakage stability prevents output droop in thermally stressed layouts. However, verify layout clearance for SOD323 pad dimensions and confirm no voltage overshoot exceeds 20 V during transient events.
