Product details
Overview
SDM5U45EP3 from Diodes Incorporated is a 45 V, 5 A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in the X3-TSN1616-2 package, optimized for low forward voltage (max 580 mV at 5 A, +25°C), ultra-low leakage (140 µA at 45 V), and minimal board footprint (2 mm²). It serves as a blocking, boost, or reverse-protection diode in space-constrained portable power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SDM5U45EP3 datasheet, SDM5U45EP3 pinout, SDM5U45EP3 application, or SDM5U45EP3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 180 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, soft-switching EMI suppression, guard-ring die construction for transient robustness, and compatibility with high-density PCB layouts requiring <0.3 mm profile height.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar guard-ring die structure to enhance surge immunity and reduce reverse recovery-related ringing. Its low VF–IR trade-off is achieved via optimized metal–semiconductor interface and thin epitaxial layer design, enabling stable operation from –55°C to +150°C.
The X3-TSN1616-2 package features NiAu-plated terminals, J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and a cathode-dot polarity marking. Thermal performance relies on FR-4 pad layout per Diodes' recommended footprint-critical for sustaining 5 A average current without derating in ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit for 3.3 V–12 V input rails with margin. |
| IO | 5 A - Average rectified output current; supports continuous conduction mode in 10–20 W portable DC-DC stages. |
| VF (max) | 580 mV @ 5 A, +25°C - Directly reduces conduction loss to ≤2.9 W, easing thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| IR (max) | 140 µA @ 45 V, +25°C - Enables low standby power in battery-backed systems where leakage must stay below 200 µA. |
| RθJA | 180 °C/W - Requires ≥10 mm² copper pour for 5 A operation at TA = +70°C; insufficient for >3 A without thermal relief. |
| CT | 189 pF @ 5 V, 1 MHz - Limits high-frequency switching noise coupling in 500 kHz–2 MHz buck/boost topologies. |
Pinout & Package
The SDM5U45EP3 is housed in the X3-TSN1616-2 surface-mount package: 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.25 mm nominal thickness, cathode-marked with dot, and NiAu-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin #1) | Current entry point under forward bias | Connected to input/source side; requires thermal pad connection to ground plane for heat dissipation. |
| Cathode (marked dot) | Current exit point under forward bias | Connected to output/load side; polarity marking ensures correct orientation during automated placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2 mm² footprint | Reduces PCB area by 67% vs PowerDI123-enables dual-diode placement in same space previously occupied by one. |
| 0.3 mm max profile | Enables use under mechanical shields or in ultra-thin devices (e.g., wearables, slim adapters) where height budget is ≤0.4 mm. |
| Soft switching characteristic | Minimizes dV/dt-induced EMI spikes during turn-off-reduces need for snubbers in 1–3 MHz switching converters. |
| Guard ring die construction | Improves ruggedness against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a transients-supports automotive-grade input protection without external TVS. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br+Cl, <1000 ppm Sb)-required for EU medical and consumer certifications. |
Applications
| USB-C Power Delivery Adapter | Wireless Charging Transmitter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in 20–30 W GaN-based USB-C PD adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFETs in cost-sensitive designs where gate drive complexity must be avoided. Use Value: 580 mV VF at 5 A cuts conduction loss by ~35% vs legacy 1 A Schottkys, improving full-load efficiency from 92% to 93.8%. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection at the coil driver output in Qi-compliant 15 W transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path isolator preventing backfeed into driver ICs during coil resonance collapse. Use Value: 140 µA IR at 45 V ensures <1 µW standby drain-critical for meeting Energy Star Level VI no-load power limits. |
| Industrial IoT Sensor Node | Portable Medical Monitor |
Use Scenario: Input-blocking diode in energy-harvesting circuits powered by solar mini-panels or thermoelectric generators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Prevents battery discharge through harvesting source when ambient energy drops below threshold. Use Value: 180 °C/W RθJA allows direct mounting on sensor PCB without heatsink-maintains <85°C junction temp at 3.5 A in 50 mm² copper area. | Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection on Li-ion battery charging input of handheld ECG/SpO₂ units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe isolation between charger IC and battery during hot-plug events or adapter misconnection. Use Value: 0.3 mm profile fits beneath compact battery connectors-preserves <1.2 mm total stack height for ergonomic casing design. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS5P4L-13-F | Same 45 V/5 A rating but in SMA package; VF = 550 mV @ 5 A; RθJA = 200 °C/W; larger 4.5 mm² footprint. | Less suitable for ultra-thin designs due to 1.3 mm profile; higher thermal resistance limits sustained 5 A use on standard FR-4. | Select if existing SMA footprint reuse is prioritized over size/thermal optimization. |
| SB540-TB | 40 V/5 A rating; VF = 520 mV @ 5 A; TO-277 package; RθJA = 160 °C/W; 5.5 mm² footprint; 1.1 mm profile. | Better thermal performance but incompatible with sub-0.5 mm height constraints; lower VRRM restricts use in 45 V surge-tolerant inputs. | Select only where 40 V maximum reverse voltage is acceptable and board height >1.0 mm is available. |
Compared with SS5P4L-13-F and SB540-TB, the SDM5U45EP3 delivers the smallest board area and lowest profile while maintaining competitive VF and leakage-making it optimal for next-generation portable electronics where space and thermal envelope are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The SDM5U45EP3 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. For continuous 5 A operation, thermal design must ensure TJ remains ≤150°C-achievable with ≥10 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to both terminals on FR-4, per Diodes' recommended pad layout.
Is the SDM5U45EP3 qualified for automotive applications?
No-SDM5U45EP3 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While its guard-ring die improves transient robustness, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade versions require PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing; this part is intended for commercial/industrial portable electronics only.
How does the soft switching characteristic reduce EMI?
The soft switching behavior arises from the Schottky's majority-carrier conduction and absence of minority-carrier storage charge. This eliminates reverse recovery current spikes, reducing high-frequency spectral content above 30 MHz-lowering radiated emissions and easing EMC filter design in switch-mode power supplies.
Can SDM5U45EP3 replace a 3 A Schottky in an existing design?
Yes-its 5 A IO rating provides 67% headroom over 3 A requirements. However, verify layout thermal relief: the smaller X3-TSN1616-2 footprint demands tighter copper pour design than typical SMA/SMB packages to maintain equivalent junction temperature rise.
