Product details
Overview
STPS40SM100CR from STMicroelectronics is a dual 100 V, 2 × 20 A average forward current Schottky rectifier in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency SMPS and DC/DC converters in notebook and game station adapters. It delivers typ. 0.605 V forward voltage at 40 A, supports 150 °C max junction temperature, and features avalanche-rated capability (1295 W, 10 µs).
For engineers reviewing the STPS40SM100CR datasheet, STPS40SM100CR pinout, STPS40SM100CR application, or STPS40SM100CR equivalent, key selection criteria include low conduction loss (VF ≤ 0.665 V @ 20 A, 125 °C), thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.7 °C/W total), reverse leakage (≤ 45 mA @ 100 V, 125 °C), and ECOPACK®2 compliance.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 100 V, 20 A per diode elements in a single TO-220AB thermally coupled package. Its low VF–IR trade-off enables high efficiency across load ranges, while specified avalanche energy handling (1295 W, 10 µs) supports robust transient resilience in unregulated input stages.
The device uses planar Schottky barrier technology with metal-silicon junctions, enabling operation up to several MHz without significant switching loss penalties. Thermal coupling between diodes is quantified by Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W, allowing accurate junction temperature estimation when both diodes conduct simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in flyback/freewheeling applications |
| IF(AV) | 2 × 20 A - Average forward current rating per diode at TC = 130 °C; supports 40 A total device output in dual-phase or interleaved topologies |
| VF (typ.) | 0.605 V @ 40 A - Measured at 25 °C, 40 A; directly determines conduction loss P ≈ 0.580×IF(AV) + 0.0043×IF²(RMS) |
| Tj (max.) | 150 °C - Absolute maximum junction temperature; enables operation in compact, high-power-density adapter designs |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.7 °C/W (total) - Junction-to-case thermal resistance for full device; critical for heatsink sizing and thermal derating |
| IR (max.) | 45 mA @ 100 V, 125 °C - Reverse leakage per diode; impacts standby power and thermal runaway risk in parallel configurations |
| PARM | 1295 W @ 10 µs - Repetitive peak avalanche power; validates ruggedness against inductive turn-off transients |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated mounting tab (non-electrical), 3-terminal configuration: Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Cathode (common), Pin 3 = Anode 2. The cathode is internally connected to the metal tab for direct heatsinking and low-inductance return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (A1) | Anode of Diode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky path; electrically isolated from tab and Pin 3 |
| Pin 2 (K) | Common Cathode | Shared cathode node connected to metal tab; serves as main power return and thermal interface |
| Pin 3 (A2) | Anode of Diode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky path; independent of A1 but thermally coupled via shared case |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | VF ≤ 0.665 V @ 20 A, 125 °C - Reduces conduction loss by ≥15% vs. standard 100 V Schottkys in high-load adapter operation |
| Avalanche capability | 1295 W peak power @ 10 µs - Enables reliable operation without external snubbers in flyback primary clamp circuits |
| Thermal coupling control | Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W - Allows precise ΔTj calculation when both diodes operate concurrently, supporting dual-output DC/DC design |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant epoxy - Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow requirements for industrial and consumer production |
Applications
| Adapter Power Stage | DC/DC Converter Output |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 65–120 W AC/DC adapters for notebooks and gaming consoles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-anode Schottky rectifier providing synchronous freewheeling and output rectification in quasi-resonant flyback topology. Use Value: 0.605 V typical VF at full load reduces secondary conduction loss by ~0.8 W vs. legacy 100 V Schottkys, improving efficiency by 0.4–0.6% at 100% load. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated 12 V/5 V dual-rail DC/DC modules for embedded computing systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel synchronous rectifier delivering independent 20 A paths with shared thermal management. Use Value: Rth(j-c) = 0.7 °C/W total enables 40 A output with ≤25 °C junction rise over case at 25 W dissipation, eliminating need for oversized heatsinks. |
| LED Driver Freewheel | Industrial SMPS Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Freewheel path in constant-current LED drivers for commercial lighting fixtures (36–48 V output). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency Schottky clamp preventing inductive kick during MOSFET turn-off in buck-derived topologies. Use Value: Avalanche rating supports 10 µs transients up to 1295 W, eliminating external TVS in cost-sensitive driver BOMs. | Use Scenario: Input bridge rectification in 200–300 W industrial SMPS with wide-input (85–265 VAC) and high ambient (70 °C) requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode configuration used in split-phase input rectification to balance thermal stress across two anodes. Use Value: 150 °C Tj(max) and 45 mA IR @ 125 °C ensure stable operation under sustained overload without thermal runaway. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 100 V Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-40CPH10-M3 | Single 100 V, 40 A device in TO-247AC; no dual-anode isolation; VF = 0.67 V @ 40 A, 25 °C | Requires external splitting for dual-path use; higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.9 °C/W) | Select when single-path high-current rectification suffices and board space allows TO-247 footprint |
| ON Semiconductor MBR40100CT | TO-220AB dual 100 V, 2 × 20 A; VF = 0.75 V @ 20 A, 25 °C; IR = 100 µA @ 100 V, 25 °C | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.7 W at full load; lower leakage improves light-load efficiency | Select when leakage-sensitive standby performance outweighs full-load efficiency loss |
Compared with VS-40CPH10-M3 and MBR40100CT, STPS40SM100CR offers the lowest VF at high temperature (0.605 V @ 40 A, 25 °C), best thermal coupling control (Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W), and highest avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability adapter and DC/DC designs.

FAQ
Is STPS40SM100CR pin-compatible with STPS40SM100C?
Yes, STPS40SM100CR and STPS40SM100C share identical TO-220AB pinout (A1–K–A2), mechanical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The "R" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (vs. tube for "C"), with no electrical or functional difference. Both meet ECOPACK®2 environmental specifications.
What is the maximum continuous current per diode at 100 °C ambient?
At 100 °C ambient and δ = 0.5 square wave, each diode supports 12 A average forward current with Rth(j-a) = 15 °C/W (per Figure 2). This assumes adequate heatsinking; actual current depends on system-level thermal design and airflow. Derating curves confirm 20 A is only valid at TC = 130 °C, not ambient.
Can STPS40SM100CR be used in parallel with another unit?
No-parallel operation is not recommended. The device's VF mismatch between diodes (±5% typical) and thermal coupling cause current imbalance. For >40 A applications, use a single higher-rated part (e.g., STPS60SM100C) or redesign with interleaved phases rather than paralleling units.
Does the metal tab connect to any internal node?
Yes-the metal tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (common cathode K) and must be treated as a live circuit node. It is not isolated. When mounted to a heatsink, ensure the heatsink is either floating or referenced to the cathode potential to avoid short circuits or ground loops.
