Product details
Overview
STPS80170CW from STMicroelectronics is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier in TO-247 package, rated for 170 V reverse voltage and 2 × 40 A average forward current per diode at Tc = 150 °C, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.68 V at 125 °C and 40 A - optimized for high-frequency SMPS and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STPS80170CW datasheet, STPS80170CW pinout, STPS80170CW application, or STPS80170CW equivalent, key selection factors include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.7 °C/W per diode), avalanche capability (2750 W peak), low leakage (≤80 µA at 25 °C), and ECOPACK®2 compliance for industrial-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual-diode device integrates two independent Schottky junctions sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or interleaved output paths in high-efficiency DC/DC converters. Its low VF and low Rth(j-c) support high-power density designs where thermal management and conduction loss minimization are critical.
The device features avalanche-rated operation (PARM = 2750 W at tp = 10 µs, Tj = 125 °C) and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for harsh-environment telecom and industrial power systems requiring robust transient handling and long-term thermal stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 170 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in flyback or boost topologies. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 40 A at Tc = 150 °C - continuous DC current rating per junction; enables 80 A total device output with shared cathode layout. |
| VF(typ.) | 0.68 V at IF = 40 A, Tj = 125 °C - low conduction loss directly reduces power dissipation and improves efficiency in high-current SMPS stages. |
| Rth(j-c) per diode | 0.7 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink; supports >100 W per diode dissipation before reaching Tj(max). |
| IR(max) | 80 µA at VR = VRRM, Tj = 25 °C - ultra-low leakage preserves standby efficiency and prevents unintended biasing in multi-rail systems. |
| Tj(max) | +175 °C - extended junction temperature rating allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating. |
| Avalanche energy | 2750 W peak at tp = 10 µs - withstands inductive switching transients without failure, eliminating need for external snubbers in some layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247 - three-terminal, isolated-mount power package with metal tab (cathode) and two anode leads (A1, A2); epoxy meets UL94 V0; recommended torque: 0.8 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode; connects to primary-side switch node or input rail in dual-output configurations. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode; enables independent control or parallel operation with A1 under shared cathode. |
| K | Common cathode | Single output node for both diodes; simplifies PCB routing and thermal design by consolidating return path for dual-channel rectification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High junction temperature capability | Rated for continuous operation up to +175 °C junction temperature - eliminates thermal shutdown risk in compact, fanless telecom PSUs. |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-c) = 0.7 °C/W per diode - delivers >30% lower junction rise vs. comparable TO-220 devices at same power level. |
| Avalanche-rated operation | 2750 W peak avalanche power at 10 µs pulse - sustains repeated inductive turn-off events without degradation in server PSU PFC stages. |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction - satisfies environmental requirements for EU, China RoHS, and JEITA standards without performance trade-offs. |
| Optimized VF–IR trade-off | 0.68 V VF at 40 A / 125 °C with only 80 µA IR at 25 °C - balances conduction loss and leakage for 92%+ efficiency in 48 V telecom DC/DC converters. |
Applications
| Telecom AC-DC Front-End | Server PSU Secondary Rectification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-80CPH17 | Same VRRM (170 V), higher IF(AV) per diode (45 A), but VF = 0.82 V @ 40 A/125 °C and Rth(j-c) = 0.95 °C/W. | Higher conduction loss and thermal resistance limit use in space-constrained 48 V telecom modules. | Select when higher surge current rating (IFS M = 600 A) is prioritized over efficiency and thermal density. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR80170CT | Identical VRRM (170 V) and IF(AV) (40 A), but VF = 0.85 V @ 40 A/125 °C and no specified avalanche rating. | Lacks documented avalanche capability, requiring external protection in inductive-switching applications. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial DC/DC where transient immunity is managed at system level. |
Compared with VS-80CPH17 and MBR80170CT, STPS80170CW offers the lowest VF–Rth(j-c) combination and guaranteed avalanche performance - critical for high-efficiency, high-reliability telecom and server power where thermal headroom and transient robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous junction temperature for STPS80170CW?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is +175 °C, validated per Table 1 of DS4415 Rev 3. This rating applies under conditions where (dPtot/dTj) < (1/Rth(j-a)) to prevent thermal runaway - confirmed via thermal modeling in AN5088.
Is STPS80170CW suitable for synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters?
Yes - its low VF (0.68 V typ. at 40 A/125 °C), fast recovery (Schottky, no minority-carrier storage), and dual common-cathode configuration enable precise timing alignment with high-side FET gate drivers in 100–500 kHz LLC topologies without reverse recovery loss.
Does STPS80170CW require a heatsink in 80 A total current applications?
Yes - with Rth(j-c) = 0.5 °C/W total (two diodes), dissipating ~5.4 W per diode at 40 A yields ~3.8 °C rise above case. A heatsink maintaining Tc ≤ 100 °C is required to stay within the 175 °C Tj limit at full load.
How does the ECOPACK®2 compliance affect PCB assembly?
ECOPACK®2 confirms halogen-free, lead-free, and RoHS-compliant materials with UL94 V0 epoxy - no special reflow profile or cleaning process is needed; standard lead-free soldering (peak 260 °C) is fully supported per ST's packaging specifications.
