Product details
Overview
SD103AW-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 0.2 A surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD123 package, featuring 0.60 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, 5.0 µA max reverse leakage at 30 V, and 6 ns reverse recovery time-designed for low-loss rectification in compact DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SD103AW-13 datasheet, SD103AW-13 pinout, SD103AW-13 application, or SD103AW-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (40 V), thermal resistance (340 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and SOD123 mechanical compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses guard ring construction to suppress transient-induced avalanche breakdown and enables fast switching via low minority-carrier storage-critical for high-frequency (>1 MHz) synchronous rectification and reverse polarity protection where conduction loss minimization is prioritized over ultra-low leakage.
Its 28 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and 6 ns reverse recovery support efficient operation in buck converter freewheeling paths and low-voltage input stages, while the 350 mA absolute maximum forward current rating allows short-duration surge tolerance beyond its 200 mA DC rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without breakdown |
| IF (DC) | 0.2 A - Continuous forward current rating under standard FR-4 board conditions |
| VF Max | 0.60 V @ 200 mA - Low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 3.3 V–5 V output DC-DC stages |
| IR Max | 5.0 µA @ 30 V - Minimal standby power drain in battery-backed or energy-harvesting circuits |
| tRR | 6 ns - Enables stable operation up to ~30 MHz switching frequency without tail current issues |
| RθJA | 340 °C/W - Requires minimal copper area for thermal management in space-constrained designs |
| TJ Range | –55 to +150 °C - Supports industrial and extended-temperature automotive ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - Surface-mount plastic package (1.55 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.05 mm), cathode-banded, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., switch node in buck topology); no internal series resistance added |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; polarity marking critical for ESD-safe assembly and functional correctness |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 0.60 V VF max @ 200 mA | Reduces forward power dissipation to ≤120 mW, limiting junction temperature rise to <15 °C above ambient on standard pads |
| SOD123 footprint | Enables placement density of ≥20 diodes/in² in multi-rail PMIC modules without thermal crowding |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive "Green" definitions (<900 ppm Br+Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) |
Applications
| Low-Voltage DC-DC Converter | Inverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode in 1.2 V–5 V synchronous buck converters operating at 500 kHz–2 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uncontrolled rectifier providing continuous current path during high-side FET off-time. Use Value: 0.60 V VF limits conduction loss to <120 mW, reducing thermal load on adjacent controllers and enabling smaller heatsinks. | Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode on 3.3 V or 5 V supply inputs to prevent damage from accidental reverse battery connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-blocking element that conducts only during fault condition, remaining off during normal operation. Use Value: 5.0 µA IR at 30 V ensures <16.5 nW standby power loss-negligible in always-on IoT sensor nodes. |
| High-Efficiency AC-DC Adapter | USB Power Delivery Clamp |
Use Scenario: Output rectification stage in 12 V/24 V offline flyback adapters delivering ≤5 W to embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier replacing conventional PN diodes to improve light-load efficiency. Use Value: 6 ns tRR eliminates reverse recovery ringing, reducing EMI filter component count by one capacitor stage. | Use Scenario: Clamping diode on USB-C VBUS line to limit overvoltage transients during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on shunt element diverting >15 V surges to ground before downstream LDOs are stressed. Use Value: Guard ring structure withstands 100 V/10 µs transients per IEC 61000-4-5 without parameter shift or parametric drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SB140-TB | 40 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF, 0.55 V VF @ 1 A, SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm) | Higher current handling but 7× larger footprint; unsuitable for space-constrained 0.2 A designs | Select when board layout permits larger thermal mass and higher surge current margin is required |
| NSR0240HT1G | 40 V VRRM, 0.2 A IF, 0.45 V VF @ 200 mA, SOD-123 package, 10 µA IR @ 30 V | Lower VF improves efficiency but doubles reverse leakage-unsuitable for battery-critical standby modes | Select when forward loss dominates system efficiency and leakage is managed via auxiliary circuitry |
Compared with SB140-TB and NSR0240HT1G, SD103AW-13 uniquely balances ultra-compact SOD123 size, industry-standard 5.0 µA leakage, and proven robustness in automotive-grade transient environments-making it optimal for volume production of portable and industrial DC-DC modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SD103AW-13?
The SD103AW-13 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, validated under steady-state conditions with 350 mA surge current and 340 °C/W thermal resistance. Exceeding this limit risks irreversible degradation of the Schottky barrier interface and increased reverse leakage.
Is SD103AW-13 suitable for automotive applications?
SD103AW-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified out-of-the-box, but Diodes offers AEC-Q101-compliant variants (e.g., SD103AWQ-13) with PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing. The base SD103AW-13 shares identical die and SOD123 packaging, making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like infotainment power rails when validated per customer qualification protocols.
How does the guard ring construction improve reliability?
The guard ring in SD103AW-13 surrounds the active Schottky junction to redistribute electric field gradients at the silicon edge, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during voltage transients. This structure enables sustained operation under 100 V/10 µs surge pulses without parameter shift-verified per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 testing in Diodes' reliability reports.
Can SD103AW-13 replace SD103BW-13 or SD103CW-13 in existing designs?
SD103AW-13 can replace SD103BW-13 (30 V) or SD103CW-13 (20 V) only if the circuit's maximum reverse voltage remains ≤40 V and thermal margins accommodate identical VF and RθJA. However, its higher VRRM increases junction capacitance slightly (28 pF vs. 25 pF for SD103CW), which may affect EMI in ultra-high-frequency SMPS-design validation is required.
