Diodes Incorporated SDM6CC-7

Overview

SDM6CC-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a six-element common-cathode Schottky diode array in a DFN1616-6 package, rated for 30 V peak reverse voltage and 200 mA continuous forward current per element, with typical forward voltage of 360 mV at 10 mA and reverse recovery time of 5.0 ns-used in compact DC-DC converter output rectification and ESD-sensitive signal path clamping.

For engineers reviewing the SDM6CC-7 datasheet, SDM6CC-7 pinout, SDM6CC-7 application, or SDM6CC-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping to DFN1616-6, confirmed six-diode common-cathode topology, thermal derating curve data, and real-world use context for high-density power and signal integrity designs.

Technical Context

This discrete Schottky array integrates six identical anode terminals sharing one cathode terminal, enabling simultaneous low-loss clamping or rectification across multiple rails. Its sub-miniature DFN1616-6 footprint supports ultra-dense PCB layouts while maintaining 400 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.

Each diode exhibits fast switching (trr ≤ 5.0 ns), low forward voltage (VF = 360 mV @ IF = 10 mA), and tight leakage control (IR ≤ 150 nA @ VR = 5 V), making it suitable for low-voltage, high-frequency applications where conduction loss and capacitive loading must be minimized.

FAQ

Is SDM6CC-7 still in active production?

No-SDM6CC-7 is officially obsolete and discontinued by Diodes Incorporated, with no alternate part offered. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock with full traceability and provides engineering support for design-in continuity and last-time buy planning.

What is the function of the center thermal pad (Pin 7)?

The center pad is the common cathode terminal-not just a thermal slug-and must be electrically connected to system ground. It serves as the sole return path for all six diodes and contributes directly to the 250 mW power rating via PCB copper thermal spreading.

Can SDM6CC-7 replace discrete 1N5711 diodes in RF detector circuits?

No-while both are Schottky diodes, SDM6CC-7's 30 V VRRM and 200 mA IFM exceed 1N5711 specs, but its 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm DFN package introduces higher parasitic capacitance (~3 pF at 0 V) than the axial 1N5711 (~1 pF), degrading RF detection sensitivity above 500 MHz.

How does the common-cathode architecture affect layout routing?

It mandates a single low-impedance ground connection point for all six anodes, eliminating need for six separate cathode traces. This reduces net count and avoids ground loop formation-but requires careful placement near the main system ground plane to minimize inductance in the shared return path.
