Product details
Overview
STPS40L45CG-TR from STMicroelectronics is a dual center-tap Schottky barrier rectifier in D2PAK package, rated for 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode, and maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.49 V max at 20 A, 125 °C), enabling high-efficiency operation in low-voltage DC–DC converters and SMPS freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the STPS40L45CG-TR datasheet, STPS40L45CG-TR pinout, STPS40L45CG-TR application, or STPS40L45CG-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W per diode), avalanche capability (8100 W peak), dV/dt rating (10,000 V/µs), and TO-220AB/D2PAK/TO-247 package compatibility for heatsink-integrated power stage layouts.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions sharing a common cathode terminal (center-tap configuration), optimized for synchronous rectification and bidirectional freewheeling in buck-derived topologies. Its low VF and negligible reverse recovery charge eliminate switching losses typical of PN junction diodes.
The device operates with specified avalanche energy handling (PARM = 8100 W at tp = 1 µs), enabling robustness against inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. Thermal coupling between diodes is characterized via Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W, supporting accurate junction temperature estimation under simultaneous conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; sets usable input range in ≤42 V DC–DC stages. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 20 A at Tc = 130 °C - Continuous forward current rating per diode with heatsink; defines minimum copper area and thermal interface design. |
| VF(max) | 0.49 V at IF = 20 A, Tj = 125 °C - Peak forward drop determining conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 0.28×I + 0.0105×I²). |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W per diode - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; used to calculate ΔTj from dissipated power when mounted on heatsink. |
| dV/dt | 10,000 V/µs - Critical rate of rise of reverse voltage; ensures stable operation during fast-switching node transitions in >100 kHz converters. |
| PARM | 8100 W at tp = 1 µs - Repetitive avalanche power rating; supports safe clamping of inductive kickback without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (Surface-mount, isolated tab, epoxy UL94-V0 compliant). Mounting requires thermal pad soldering to ≥10 cm² copper pour for rated current handling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K (Tab) | Common Cathode | Electrically connected to both diode cathodes; must be thermally and electrically tied to system ground or negative rail. |
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first diode path; connects to primary-side switch node in synchronous buck or flyback secondary. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second diode path; enables dual-path freewheeling or polarity-redundant protection schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 0.49 V @ 20 A, 125 °C - Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. standard Schottkys, improving efficiency in 5–12 V output rails. |
| Dual center-tap topology | Two independent anodes sharing one cathode - Enables compact layout for interleaved or dual-phase synchronous rectification without external bus routing. |
| Avalanche-rated operation | 8100 W peak avalanche power - Eliminates need for external TVS/clamp circuits in inductive load switching applications. |
| High dV/dt immunity | 10,000 V/µs - Prevents false turn-on during fast transient events in high-frequency gate-drive or motor-control environments. |
| Thermal coupling control | Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W between diodes - Allows accurate thermal modeling when both diodes conduct simultaneously in phase-shifted topologies. |
Applications
| Server VRM Output Stage | Industrial DC–DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-current, low-voltage (≤1.2 V) point-of-load regulation in multi-phase server VRMs using synchronous rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode replacing MOSFET body diode during dead-time; conducts return current during low-side switch off-period. Use Value: 0.49 V VF minimizes voltage headroom loss and improves regulation accuracy under dynamic load steps up to 100 A/µs. |
Use Scenario: 24 V to 5 V/12 V isolated DC–DC converter in programmable logic controller (PLC) power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in forward or active-clamp flyback topology; handles continuous 15 A output current. Use Value: Dual-anode structure allows single-component implementation of dual-rail outputs (e.g., +5 V and +12 V) with shared cathode return path. |
| Solar Microinverter DC Link | Automotive ADAS Power Module |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional freewheeling path in H-bridge-based microinverter DC–AC stage operating at 20–50 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss reverse conduction path during PWM dead-time; clamps inductive energy from transformer leakage inductance. Use Value: 10,000 V/µs dV/dt rating prevents spurious conduction during rapid bus voltage reversal across full-bridge switches. |
Use Scenario: Polarity protection and reverse-current blocking in 12 V battery-fed radar ECU power management unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured Schottky pair (using A1/K and A2/K) for bidirectional reverse-voltage blocking without series MOSFETs. Use Value: 150 °C Tj(max) and 280 mA IRRM @ 125 °C ensure reliable operation in under-hood ambient up to 105 °C with minimal derating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-40CPH045 | Same VRRM (45 V), higher IF(AV) (40 A total), but TO-247 package only; Rth(j-c) = 0.8 °C/W (total device), no center-tap pinout. | Requires PCB redesign for TO-247 mounting and separate cathode routing; better suited for single-rail, higher-current designs. | Select when thermal budget allows larger heatsink and layout permits discrete cathode connections. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR4045CT | Identical D2PAK package and center-tap pinout; VF = 0.55 V max @ 20 A, 125 °C; lower avalanche rating (5000 W); no dV/dt spec provided. | Lacks documented dV/dt immunity and avalanche robustness; not recommended for high-dV/dt or inductive clamp applications. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-critical 24 V industrial supplies where transient stress is minimal. |
Compared with VS-40CPH045 and MBR4045CT, STPS40L45CG-TR uniquely combines D2PAK surface-mount compatibility, center-tap topology, 10,000 V/µs dV/dt immunity, and 8100 W avalanche rating-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability DC–DC and inverter freewheeling where thermal coupling and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies IF(AV) = 20 A per diode at Tc = 130 °C. Exceeding this case temperature requires linear derating per Figure 2; at Tc = 150 °C, IF(AV) drops to ~12 A per diode. Thermal design must maintain case temperature ≤130 °C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Can STPS40L45CG-TR replace a single-diode Schottky in a center-tap transformer design?
Yes-its internal dual-diode center-tap configuration matches traditional transformer-based full-wave rectification. Connect A1 and A2 to the transformer outer taps and K to the center tap. This eliminates two discrete diodes and reduces PCB footprint and thermal interface count by 50%.
Is the D2PAK package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes-STPS40L45CG-TR carries ECOPACK®2 compliance, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The D2PAK package uses matte tin plating on leads and halogen-free epoxy molding compound (UL94-V0 rated).
How does the device behave under simultaneous conduction of both diodes?
When both diodes conduct, junction temperature rise is calculated as ΔTj = P1 × Rth(j-c) + P2 × Rth(c), where Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W accounts for thermal coupling. This means total power dissipation must be allocated considering cross-heating effects-not simply doubled.
