Product details
Overview
SDT3A45SA from Diodes Incorporated is a 3A, 45V Trench Schottky barrier rectifier in SMA package, featuring 480 mV max forward voltage at 3 A and 280 µA max reverse leakage at 45 V and +25°C, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and freewheeling applications in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SDT3A45SA datasheet, SDT3A45SA pinout, SDT3A45SA application, or SDT3A45SA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150°C junction temperature rating, soft fast switching behavior, low leakage current, RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, and SMA surface-mount mechanical compatibility with standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs trench MOS structure to reduce forward voltage drop while maintaining low reverse leakage-critical for minimizing conduction loss in high-frequency switching topologies. Its thermal resistance junction-to-case is 38°C/W (Note 7), enabling efficient heat transfer when mounted on appropriately sized copper pads.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C, with forward current derated linearly above +25°C ambient (3.0 A at 25°C → ~1.8 A at 100°C). Reverse leakage rises predictably with temperature: 8 µA at 25°C, 80 mA at 125°C, and up to 150 mA at 150°C per Figure 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in reverse-biased configurations like reverse polarity protection. |
| IO(AV) | 3 A - Average forward rectified current at TA = +25°C; usable up to 1.8 A at +100°C per derating curve. |
| VF(MAX) | 480 mV @ IF = 3 A, TJ = +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12V→5V buck converters at full load. |
| IR(MAX) | 280 µA @ VR = 45 V, TJ = +25°C - Enables stable operation in high-impedance bias networks and precision hold-up circuits. |
| TJ Range | –65°C to +150°C - Supports under-hood automotive modules and industrial SMPS operating in uncontrolled thermal environments. |
| RθJC | 38°C/W (Note 7) - Requires ≥0.2"×0.25" 2 oz copper pad for thermal management in continuous 3 A operation. |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with cathode band polarity indicator; molded green compound, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.064 g weight, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); must handle 50 A non-repetitive surge. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail; cathode band marks this terminal; reverse leakage flows here under blocking conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Schottky architecture | Reduces VF by ~12% vs. planar Schottky counterparts at 3 A, directly lowering I²R losses in high-current paths. |
| Soft, fast switching | Minimizes EMI generation during turn-off in hard-switched topologies; no reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0). |
| +150°C operating junction temperature | Enables placement near hot components (e.g., MOSFETs, inductors) without thermal derating penalties in compact power stages. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements; <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb; supports eco-design compliance. |
Applications
| SMPS Secondary Rectification | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 24V→12V isolated flyback converter delivering 36W continuous power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling DC output generation; replaces slower, higher-loss silicon diodes. Use Value: 480 mV VF reduces conduction loss by 1.4 W vs. 800 mV diode at 3 A, improving system efficiency by ~2.1%. | Use Scenario: Input protection circuit for 24V industrial controller board exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking element that conducts only during correct polarity connection; open-circuits during reverse connection. Use Value: 280 µA IR at 25°C ensures <7 mW standby dissipation; 150°C rating prevents thermal runaway during sustained reverse stress. |
| Freewheeling Diode in Buck Converter | DC-DC Converter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Freewheel path for 500 kHz synchronous buck regulator powering FPGA core voltage (1.2 V @ 2.5 A). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during high-side MOSFET off-time; critical for energy recovery. Use Value: Soft switching eliminates voltage spikes >10 V seen with fast-recovery diodes, reducing EMI filter size by 30%. | Use Scenario: Output rectifier in 48V→5V non-isolated buck converter for PoE-powered access point. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts switched inductor current into regulated DC output; placed adjacent to output capacitor. Use Value: 38°C/W RθJC allows direct thermal coupling to ground plane, sustaining 3 A without external heatsink in 25 mm² layout area. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS34 (Vishay) | 40 V VRRM, 3 A IO, 500 mV VF @ 3 A, SMA package | Limited to ≤40 V systems; higher VF increases conduction loss by 0.06 W at 3 A | Acceptable where 45 V margin is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs 2% efficiency penalty. |
| MBR340 (ON Semiconductor) | 40 V VRRM, 3 A IO, 550 mV VF @ 3 A, DO-214AC package | Higher VF and same voltage rating; 100°C max TJ limits high-temp deployment | Only suitable for ambient-limited consumer-grade designs; avoid in industrial or automotive environments. |
Compared with SS34 and MBR340, SDT3A45SA delivers superior voltage margin (45 V), lowest VF among SMA-packaged 3A Schottkys, and full 150°C operation-making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained, high-reliability power conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The SDT3A45SA has a rated operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. For continuous DC operation at 3 A, thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed +150°C-achievable with a 0.2"×0.25" 2 oz copper pad (RθJC = 38°C/W) and ≤+85°C ambient per Figure 4 derating curve.
Is SDT3A45SA compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. The device features matte tin-plated terminals qualified to MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and is rated for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec). Its UL 94V-0 molding compound withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination or warpage.
Does SDT3A45SA have reverse recovery charge (Qrr)?
No. As a Schottky barrier diode, SDT3A45SA exhibits no minority-carrier storage and therefore has negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0). This eliminates switching losses and associated voltage overshoot during turn-off-confirmed by zero-recovery waveforms in Diodes' application note AN-5002.
How is polarity identified on the SDT3A45SA package?
Polarity is marked by a distinct cathode band on the body end of the SMA package. Per datasheet Figure 1, the band aligns with the cathode terminal; some units may also feature a cathode notch on the edge. The anode connects to the opposite end, verified by continuity test with multimeter diode mode.
