Product details
Overview
STPS1L40MF from STMicroelectronics is a 40 V, 1 A low-drop Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and SMPS output stages, featuring 0.37 V typical forward voltage at 125 °C and 1 A, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and avalanche-rated ruggedness for reverse polarity protection in TV and set-top box power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STPS1L40MF datasheet, STPS1L40MF pinout, STPS1L40MF application, or STPS1L40MF equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at operating temperature, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 25 °C/W for SMB), avalanche energy rating (65 W at 10 µs), and ECOPACK2-compliant surface-mount packaging across SMA/SMB/SOD123Flat variants.
Technical Context
This single-die Schottky rectifier uses platinum-silicide barrier technology to achieve low VF and negligible switching losses, eliminating minority-carrier storage delay. Its 40 V VRRM rating targets secondary-side rectification in ≤12 V output SMPS designs where conduction loss dominates efficiency.
Thermal design relies on lead-to-board conduction: Rth(j-l) is 25 °C/W for SMB, 30 °C/W for SMA, and 20 °C/W for SOD123Flat - enabling compact layouts without heatsinks in ambient temperatures up to 125 °C with δ = 0.5 duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - supports input-referred transient clamping and reverse blocking in ≤12 V DC-DC outputs |
| IF(AV) | 1 A at TL = 155 °C (SMB) - defines continuous DC current capability under real PCB thermal conditions |
| VF(typ.) | 0.37 V at IF = 1 A, Tj = 125 °C - enables <0.4 W conduction loss per diode in high-duty-cycle applications |
| Tj(max.) | 175 °C - allows operation in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below full current |
| IFSM | 60 A (10 ms sine) - withstands inrush and short-circuit surge currents in battery charger and adapter inputs |
| Rth(j-l) | 25 °C/W (SMB) - determines temperature rise above PCB copper for thermal management without external heatsink |
| PARM | 65 W (10 µs, Tj = 125 °C) - quantifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling for reverse-bias fault robustness |
Pinout & Package
STPS1L40MF is supplied in SMB package (JEDEC DO-214AA), a surface-mount plastic case with two leads: anode and cathode. Cathode identified by band marking. Thermal path optimized via lead conduction to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point under forward bias | Connected to switched node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or buck converter switch node) |
| Cathode | Current exit point under forward bias | Connected to output rail; band-marked terminal serves as reference for PCB layout polarity verification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF at high Tj | 0.37 V @ 125 °C/1 A reduces conduction loss by ≥25% vs. standard Schottkys at elevated ambient |
| Avalanche rated | 65 W single-pulse avalanche power enables reliable reverse-bias fault tolerance in unregulated inputs |
| ECOPACK2 compliant | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and REACH requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
| High IF(AV) density | 1 A average current in SMB footprint (5.6 × 4.0 mm) supports miniaturized 12 V/12 W SMPS designs |
Applications
| TV Power Supply | Set-Top Box PSU |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in 5–12 V flyback or LLC resonant converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss freewheeling diode replacing MOSFETs in cost-sensitive designs. Use Value: 0.37 V VF at 125 °C cuts conduction loss by ~0.15 W vs. legacy Schottkys, improving 12 V rail efficiency by 0.8% at 1 A load. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in compact 5 V/2 A AC-DC adapters powering digital video receivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Polarity protection and reverse recovery–free rectification in high-frequency (≥100 kHz) flyback outputs. Use Value: Negligible reverse recovery charge eliminates switching node ringing, reducing EMI filter component count by one capacitor stage. |
| Battery Charger | Reverse Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Input-stage OR-ing diode in dual-input (USB + barrel jack) 5 V chargers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-conducting isolation element preventing backfeed between sources. Use Value: 1 A IF(AV) and 60 A IFSM support hot-plug transients while 0.37 V VF limits voltage drop to <4% at full load. |
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode in 12 V automotive accessory modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current gate blocking reverse battery connection. Use Value: Avalanche rating ensures survival during 12 V → –12 V polarity reversal events without catastrophic failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS14 (Diodes Inc.) | 40 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), VF = 0.5 V typ. @ 25 °C/1 A; no avalanche rating; Rth(j-l) = 35 °C/W (SMA) | Lacks avalanche ruggedness; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.13 W at 125 °C | Acceptable only in non-safety-critical, low-temperature environments with ample thermal margin |
| SB140 (ON Semiconductor) | 40 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), VF = 0.45 V typ. @ 25 °C/1 A; avalanche rated (50 W); Rth(j-l) = 30 °C/W (DO-41) | Through-hole DO-41 package increases board area and assembly cost; lower avalanche energy than STPS1L40MF | Preferred only when through-hole mounting is mandated; otherwise, STPS1L40MF offers superior thermal and space efficiency |
Compared with SS14 and SB140, STPS1L40MF delivers the lowest VF at operating temperature, highest avalanche energy, and smallest surface-mount footprint - making it optimal for thermally dense, high-reliability consumer power supplies where size, efficiency, and fault robustness are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The STPS1L40MF has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 175 °C, verified per absolute ratings in DS1244 Rev 9. This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB copper area and thermal vias; derating is required only if ambient exceeds 125 °C or thermal resistance exceeds specified Rth(j-l) values.
Is STPS1L40MF suitable for use in automotive infotainment power supplies?
Yes - STPS1L40MF meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors and is qualified for automotive-grade applications including infotainment DC-DC converters. Its 175 °C Tj(max), avalanche rating, and ECOPACK2 compliance support under-hood and dashboard thermal environments.
How does the SMB package compare thermally to SOD123Flat for the same current?
The SMB package has Rth(j-l) = 25 °C/W versus 20 °C/W for SOD123Flat, meaning SOD123Flat yields ~20% lower junction-to-lead temperature rise at 1 A. However, SMB offers higher IFSM (60 A vs. 50 A) and greater mechanical robustness - selection depends on whether thermal margin or surge immunity dominates the design priority.
Can STPS1L40MF replace a standard PN-junction rectifier like 1N5819?
Yes - STPS1L40MF is a direct upgrade over 1N5819 in 40 V/1 A applications, offering 0.37 V VF (vs. 0.475 V typ. for 1N5819 at 1 A/25 °C), zero reverse recovery time, and 175 °C Tj rating (vs. 125 °C). No circuit changes are needed, but layout must observe SMB footprint and thermal pad guidelines.
