Product details
Overview
STPS30170CG from STMicroelectronics is a dual-center-tap high-voltage Schottky rectifier in D²PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 170 V reverse voltage and 15 A average forward current per diode. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.69 V typ. at 15 A, 125 °C), low leakage current (20 µA max. at 25 °C), and avalanche-rated power (750 W peak). Designed for high-frequency switch-mode power supplies in industrial AC/DC adapters and server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the STPS30170CG datasheet, STPS30170CG pinout, STPS30170CG application, or STPS30170CG equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.6 °C/W per diode), dual-diode center-tap configuration, ECOPACK®2 compliance, and validated operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode paths sharing a common cathode terminal (center-tap topology), enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output DC/DC conversion. Its low VF–IR trade-off targets efficiency-critical 100–500 kHz SMPS stages where conduction loss dominates over switching loss.
Thermal design relies on direct conduction cooling via the exposed metal tab; Rth(j–c) is specified per diode (1.6 °C/W) and total device (0.95 °C/W), with coupling resistance (0.3 °C/W) accounting for inter-diode thermal crosstalk under simultaneous conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 170 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode; supports 120/230 VAC input front-end designs with margin. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 15 A - Average forward current rating per diode at TC = 150 °C; enables compact heatsink sizing in continuous conduction mode. |
| VF (typ) | 0.69 V at 15 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation by ~1.5 W vs. comparable 0.85 V diodes at same load. |
| IR (max) | 20 µA at 25 °C, VR = VRRM - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load conditions. |
| Tj (max) | +175 °C - Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed server PSUs) without derating. |
| Rth(j–c) per diode | 1.6 °C/W - Defines minimum heatsink requirement: ≤ 40 °C rise at 25 W dissipation per diode. |
| PARM | 750 W at tp = 10 µs - Avalanche energy rating allows safe handling of inductive turn-off transients in flyback or LLC resonant converters. |
Pinout & Package
The STPS30170CG is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with an exposed copper drain tab for thermal conduction. The package features three terminals: two anodes (A1, A2) and one shared cathode (K).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode path; connects to primary-side winding tap or secondary winding leg 1. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode path; used for dual-output or interleaved rectification topologies. |
| K | Common Cathode | Shared output node; serves as center-tap return point for balanced dual-output DC/DC or full-wave rectification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High junction temperature capability | Rated for continuous operation up to +175 °C junction temperature-enables use in thermally constrained enclosures without forced air. |
| Low VF–IR trade-off | 0.69 V VF (typ.) at 15 A / 125 °C and only 20 µA IR (max.) at 25 °C-optimizes efficiency across full load range. |
| Avalanche energy rating | 750 W peak repetitive avalanche power (tp = 10 µs)-protects against voltage spikes during transformer reset or MOSFET turn-off. |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and lead-free soldering requirements-supports global environmental compliance without performance compromise. |
| Dual center-tap topology | Two independent anodes with shared cathode-reduces component count in dual-output flyback or center-tapped forward converters. |
Applications
| Server Power Supplies | Industrial AC/DC Adapters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 1U server PSU delivering dual +12 V and +5 V rails with tight thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-center-tap Schottky rectifier providing synchronous rectification for both outputs using single device. Use Value: Reduces component count by 2× vs. discrete diodes and lowers conduction loss by 1.2 W per rail at full load. |
Use Scenario: 200 W industrial AC/DC adapter powering PLC I/O modules in ambient temperatures up to 70 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in center-tapped forward converter operating at 250 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: Enables 92.5% efficiency at full load due to 0.69 V VF and maintains stable regulation under 175 °C junction temp. |
| Telecom Rectifier Modules | LED Driver Secondary Side |
|
Use Scenario: -48 V telecom rectifier module requiring high reliability and surge immunity in outdoor cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output rectifier handling 30 A total output current with redundant diode paths. Use Value: Avalanche rating (750 W) withstands line surges; 175 °C rating ensures 10-year MTBF at 65 °C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting with dual-string output and EMI-sensitive environment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Center-tapped rectifier feeding two parallel LED strings from flyback secondary winding. Use Value: Low IR (<20 µA) prevents string imbalance in standby; low VF minimizes thermal drift between strings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-30CPH07-M3 | 70 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV) total, TO-247 package, higher VF (0.82 V typ.) | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤ 48 V systems; TO-247 requires through-hole assembly and larger footprint. | Select when higher total current (30 A) is needed at lower voltage and through-hole mounting is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR30H150CT | 150 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV) total, TO-220AB package, no avalanche rating, VF = 0.95 V (typ.) | Lacks avalanche specification and has higher VF-unsuitable for transient-prone or high-efficiency designs. | Acceptable only in cost-sensitive, low-transient, ≤ 150 V applications where thermal margin is abundant. |
Compared with VS-30CPH07-M3 and MBR30H150CT, STPS30170CG uniquely combines 170 V blocking, dual-center-tap topology, avalanche rating, and D²PAK surface-mount compatibility-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 230 VAC-input SMPS.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for each diode in STPS30170CG?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance per diode is 1.6 °C/W, measured under standard test conditions with the tab mounted to a large copper plane. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed tab and accounts for heat flow through the D²PAK package's internal structure to the mounting surface.
Can STPS30170CG be used in place of a single 30 A Schottky diode?
No-it is a dual-diode device with two independent anodes and one shared cathode. It cannot replace a single-anode/single-cathode 30 A diode. It is intended for center-tapped or dual-output topologies where two anode inputs feed one common output node.
Is the STPS30170CG avalanche-rated, and how is that verified?
Yes-ST specifies 750 W peak repetitive avalanche power at tp = 10 µs and Tj = 125 °C. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 and confirmed in ST's production test flow using controlled unclamped inductive switching (UIS) waveforms.
Does STPS30170CG require a heatsink in typical applications?
Yes-due to its 15 A per diode rating and power dissipation profile, thermal management is essential. A minimum 40 cm² copper pour (2 oz. FR4) is recommended; for >20 W total dissipation, an external heatsink attached to the tab is required to maintain Tj ≤ 175 °C.
