Product details
Overview
SF28G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 600 V super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring 1.70 V forward voltage at 2 A and 35 ns reverse recovery time, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and switching inverters requiring low conduction loss and fast switching.
For engineers reviewing the SF28G datasheet, SF28G pinout, SF28G application, or SF28G equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage rating (600 V), forward voltage drop (1.70 V @ 2 A), thermal resistance (RθJA = 65 °C/W), surge capability (50 A IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
The SF28G employs a glass-passivated single-die silicon junction optimized for super-fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns), enabling reduced switching losses in high-frequency power conversion topologies. Its 600 V VRRM and 2 A average forward current support operation in primary-side rectification and freewheeling paths of SMPS designs up to several hundred kHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 16 °C/W and RθJA = 65 °C/W, with junction temperature rated from –55 °C to +150 °C. Reverse leakage remains ≤5 µA at 25 °C and ≤100 µA at 125 °C under rated VR, supporting stable operation in thermally demanding environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports primary-side rectification in 400 V DC bus systems with safety margin |
| IF | 2 A continuous - suitable for medium-power SMPS outputs up to ~40 W at 12 V |
| trr | 35 ns - enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switching converters |
| VF | 1.70 V @ 2 A, 25 °C - contributes ~3.4 W conduction loss per device at full load |
| IFSM | 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands startup surges and transient overloads |
| Junction Temp | –55 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| CJ | 20 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - minimizes capacitive coupling and EMI in high-dv/dt circuits |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; leads are pure tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Primary Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-voltage input DC-DC converter (e.g., 380 V DC bus to 12 V output) using active clamp or flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current path with fast turn-off to minimize voltage spikes and conduction loss. Use Value: 600 V VRRM ensures margin against reflected transients; 35 ns trr reduces switching loss and improves efficiency >92% at 200 kHz. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional motor drive inverter leg where energy recirculates during PWM dead-time. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for inductive current decay during low-side switch off period. Use Value: Low VF (1.70 V) limits heat generation during continuous conduction mode; 50 A IFSM handles motor stall currents without failure. |
| Automotive On-Board Charger (OBC) Output Stage | Industrial AC-DC Power Supply Output Rectification |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification replacement in 6.6 kW OBC with 400 V battery interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability output rectifier in isolated LLC resonant stage operating at elevated ambient temperatures. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 150 °C TJMAX enable deployment in under-hood enclosures; glass passivation prevents corrosion in condensing environments. | Use Scenario: 24 V/2 A auxiliary supply in programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in compact, convection-cooled AC-DC front-end with no heatsink. Use Value: RθJA = 65 °C/W allows 2 A operation at 70 °C ambient without derating; DO-15 footprint simplifies manual rework and automated assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R06 | Same 600 V VRRM, 2 A IF, but trr = 50 ns; VF = 1.75 V @ 2 A | Higher trr increases switching loss in >250 kHz designs | Prefer SF28G where <35 ns recovery is required for EMI-sensitive or high-frequency SMPS |
| ES2J (ON Semiconductor) | 600 V VRRM, 2 A IF, trr = 35 ns, but VF = 1.7 V @ 2 A and RθJA = 70 °C/W | Slightly higher thermal resistance limits power density in compact layouts | SF28G offers better thermal performance (RθJA = 65 °C/W) for space-constrained industrial PCBs |
Compared with STTH2R06 and ES2J, the SF28G delivers identical voltage rating and recovery speed to ES2J while offering superior thermal dissipation and tighter VF consistency across temperature, making it preferred for thermally constrained, high-reliability 600 V rectification tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for SF28G?
The SF28G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V, verified per the manufacturer's absolute maximum ratings table. This rating applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C) and defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown. Designers must maintain adequate derating margin-typically ≥20%-in real-world applications with voltage transients.
Does SF28G have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base SF28G part is not automatically AEC-Q101 qualified; qualification applies only to variants marked with "H" suffix (e.g., SF28GH). Per TSC's ordering information, "H" denotes AEC-Q101 compliance. Standard SF28G meets industrial reliability standards but requires verification of the "H" suffix on packaging or order code to confirm automotive qualification.
What is the forward voltage drop of SF28G at rated current?
The SF28G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 1.70 V at 2 A and 25 °C, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. At elevated junction temperatures (e.g., 125 °C), VF decreases slightly due to negative temperature coefficient of silicon diodes, remaining within 1.60–1.75 V range across its operational temperature span.
Can SF28G replace SF27G in an existing design?
Yes, SF28G is a direct voltage-grade upgrade from SF27G (500 V → 600 V VRRM) with identical package, pinout, thermal specs, and forward characteristics. No PCB or layout changes are needed. However, verify that system-level transient protection and snubber design accommodate the higher blocking voltage margin, especially in flyback or LLC topologies with reflected spikes.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of SF28G?
The SF28G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 65 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with 1-inch² copper pad, per the thermal performance section of the datasheet. This value assumes natural convection cooling; forced airflow or thermal vias can reduce effective RθJA by 15–30%, improving power handling capability.
