Product details
Overview
SF44GH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 200V, 4A super fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 1.0V forward voltage at 4A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SF44GH datasheet, SF44GH pinout, SF44GH application, or SF44GH equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 200V, IF = 4A, trr = 35ns, VF = 1.0V (typ), and AEC-Q101 qualification-critical for DC-DC converters, freewheeling paths, and automotive SMPS designs requiring low loss and fast switching.
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 25°C/W. Its super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35ns) enables efficient operation in switching frequencies up to several hundred kHz.
The device sustains repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V and withstands non-repetitive surge current up to 125A (8.3ms half-sine). Reverse leakage remains ≤5µA at 25°C and ≤500µA at 125°C under rated VR, supporting stable performance across automotive ambient conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH4L06S | VRRM = 600V, trr = 30ns, VF = 1.15V @ 4A - Higher voltage rating but higher forward drop | Preferred where system-level transients exceed 200V; less optimal for 12–48V systems due to excess voltage margin and higher conduction loss | Select when designing for universal input or legacy 400V bus architectures; verify thermal derating at 4A due to higher VF |
| ON Semi MUR420 | VRRM = 200V, trr = 35ns, VF = 1.05V @ 4A - Near-identical specs but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies; not recommended for automotive ECUs or ADAS modules requiring automotive qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; confirm board-level ESD and thermal validation |
Compared with STTH4L06S and MUR420, SF44GH uniquely combines 200V rating, 35ns recovery, 1.0V VF, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the only option among the three validated for automotive under-hood power conversion without trade-offs in speed or efficiency.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for SF44GH?
The SF44GH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 200 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version G2105), where SF44G is explicitly listed with VRRM = 200 V. It defines the maximum DC or sinusoidal AC reverse voltage the SF44GH can block repeatedly without breakdown.
Is SF44GH AEC-Q101 qualified, and what does the 'H' suffix indicate?
Yes, SF44GH is AEC-Q101 qualified-the 'H' suffix in the ordering code explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per the Ordering Information section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This means the SF44GH has undergone stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing to meet automotive reliability standards.
What is the typical forward voltage of SF44GH at 4A and 25°C?
The typical forward voltage (VF) of SF44GH is 1.0 V at IF = 4 A and TJ = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table under "Forward voltage(1)" for SF41G–SF44G variants. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and reflects low conduction loss critical for high-efficiency power conversion.
What package type does SF44GH use, and are its leads lead-free?
SF44GH uses the DO-201AD axial-leaded package. Its leads are pure tin plated and fully RoHS compliant, meeting J-STD-002 for solderability and JESD201 Class 2 for whisker resistance. The molding compound is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, and the package carries UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for SF44GH?
The reverse recovery time (trr) for SF44GH is rated at ≤35 ns under test conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as stated in the Electrical Specifications table. This ultrafast recovery enables high-frequency operation in switching power supplies while minimizing switching losses and associated EMI.
