Product details
Overview
SDB20S30 from Infineon Technologies is a dual-leg silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode in PG-TO263 package, rated for 300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 10 A continuous forward current per leg, with zero reverse recovery charge (Qc = 23 nC), enabling high-frequency hard-switching in PFC and DC-DC stages of industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SDB20S30 datasheet, SDB20S30 pinout, SDB20S30 application, or SDB20S30 equivalent, this device is selected for its temperature-stable switching behavior, absence of forward/reverse recovery, and low 1.5–1.9 V forward voltage at 10 A/150°C - critical for efficiency optimization in 3–10 kW server PSUs and solar inverters.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode operates as a unidirectional, majority-carrier rectifier with no minority-carrier storage, eliminating reverse recovery losses and associated EMI. Its thermal resistance junction-to-case is 2.3 K/W per leg, supporting high-power density layouts when mounted on 6 cm² copper area.
Electrical performance is stable across −55 °C to +175 °C operating range: reverse leakage remains ≤1000 µA at 300 V/150 °C, and total capacitive charge stays fixed at 23 nC under 200 A/µs di/dt stress at 150 °C - independent of temperature or voltage sweep rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 300 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 33 % margin against transients |
| IF (per leg) | 10 A @ TC = 100 °C - enables compact heatsinking in dual-phase interleaved PFC |
| Qc | 23 nC - eliminates reverse recovery loss, reducing switching loss by >95 % vs. Si FRD |
| VF (10 A, 150 °C) | 1.5–1.9 V - maintains low conduction loss at elevated junction temperatures |
| RthJC (per leg) | 2.3 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink without thermal interface material degradation |
| IR (300 V, 150 °C) | ≤1000 µA - ensures minimal leakage contribution in high-temperature boost converters |
| C (VR = 0 V) | 600 pF - defines snubberless turn-off dv/dt capability up to 50 V/ns |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263 (D²PAK), surface-mount, 3-terminal configuration with isolated cathode pins for dual-leg operation. Thermal pad on underside requires soldered copper area ≥6 cm² for rated power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode 1) | First anode connection | Independent input path for parallel or interleaved topology leg |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Common cathode node | Shared output node; electrically tied internally to thermal pad |
| Pin 3 (Anode 2) | Second anode connection | Enables dual-diode integration without external paralleling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates tail current and associated switching loss, enabling >200 kHz operation without snubbers |
| Temperature-stable VF & Qc | Forward voltage and capacitive charge vary <±5 % from 25 °C to 150 °C - simplifies thermal derating |
| High surge rating | IFSM = 36 A (10 ms sine half-wave) - withstands inrush in AC-DC front ends |
| Low RthJC | 2.3 K/W per leg - supports >50 W thermal dissipation with minimal ΔT across junction-to-case |
| Wide Tj range | −55 °C to +175 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D06060A (Wolfspeed) | Single 6 A / 600 V SiC Schottky; lower voltage rating, no dual-leg configuration | Requires two devices for same current capability; higher board area and layout complexity | Preferred where 600 V rating is mandatory and space permits discrete placement |
| SS120P3 (STMicroelectronics) | Dual 10 A / 300 V SiC Schottky in TO-247 package; higher RthJC (3.0 K/W), through-hole mounting | Not SMD-compatible; unsuitable for automated assembly or high-density PCBs | Selected when mechanical robustness and serviceability outweigh SMT process requirements |
Compared with C3D06060A and SS120P3, the SDB20S30 uniquely integrates dual 10 A legs in a thermally optimized SMD package with lowest RthJC and guaranteed Qc stability - making it optimal for high-power-density, automated-manufactured PFC modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SDB20S30?
The SDB20S30 is rated for continuous operation from −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and confirmed in thermal transient testing across all electrical parameters - including VF, IR, and Qc - with no degradation up to 175 °C.
Can SDB20S30 be used in place of a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing design?
Yes, but layout and gate-drive timing must be reviewed: the absence of reverse recovery eliminates tail current, which may cause overvoltage on switch nodes if snubbers or dead-time settings were sized for Si diode recovery. Also verify thermal interface design - SiC's lower RthJC demands tighter copper area control.
Is the common cathode pin electrically isolated from the thermal pad?
No. Pin 2 (common cathode) is internally bonded to the exposed thermal pad, which serves as both the cathode terminal and primary heat path. PCB layout must treat the thermal pad as a high-current cathode node - not a ground plane - and avoid isolation cuts beneath it.
Does SDB20S30 require a gate driver or control signal?
No. The SDB20S30 is a passive uncontrolled rectifier with no gate terminal. It conducts when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by >VF and blocks when reverse biased - identical to standard diode behavior, but with SiC's zero-recovery advantage.
