STMicroelectronics STPS8H100FP

Overview

STPS8H100FP from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage Schottky barrier rectifier in TO-220FPAC insulated package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 8 A average forward current at TC = 150 °C, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.56 V at 125 °C and 8 A. It delivers negligible switching losses and avalanche capability (750 W, tp = 10 µs), targeting compact high-frequency SMPS in AC/DC adapters and on-board DC-DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the STPS8H100FP datasheet, STPS8H100FP pinout, STPS8H100FP application, or STPS8H100FP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2000 VRMS insulation rating, junction-to-case thermal resistance of 4 °C/W, low leakage (≤6.0 mA at 125 °C), and ECOPACK®2 compliance - all critical for thermally constrained, safety-isolated power stage designs.

Technical Context

This Schottky rectifier operates without minority-carrier storage delay, enabling zero-recovery switching essential for >100 kHz SMPS topologies. Its metal-semiconductor junction provides low VF and controlled IR trade-off, with specified avalanche energy handling under transient overvoltage conditions.

The TO-220FPAC package integrates electrical isolation between mounting tab and internal die, eliminating need for insulating washers in heatsinked applications. Thermal derating curves confirm stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature when mounted with recommended 0.55 N·m torque.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

TO-220FPAC package features electrically insulated metal tab (pin 1), with two leads: anode (pin 2) and cathode (pin 3). The insulated tab allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional isolation hardware.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 8 A operation?

The datasheet specifies IF(AV) = 8 A at TC = 150 °C for TO-220FPAC. Exceeding this case temperature requires linear derating per Figure 4; at TC = 160 °C, IF(AV) drops to ~6.5 A. Thermal design must ensure heatsink interface maintains TC ≤ 150 °C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.

Can STPS8H100FP replace a standard TO-220AC rectifier without layout changes?

No - TO-220FPAC has different lead spacing and insulated tab geometry versus TO-220AC. Pin 2 and 3 positions differ (see Figure 14 vs. Figure 13), and the insulated tab requires no thermal pad isolation but mandates correct mounting torque (0.55 N·m). PCB footprint and heatsink interface must be redesigned.

Is the 2000 VRMS insulation rating tested per UL or IEC standards?

Yes - the 2000 VRMS insulation withstand voltage is validated per IEC 60747-5-5 and UL 60950-1 Annex D, measured between tab and leads for 1 minute at 50 Hz. This qualifies STPS8H100FP for reinforced insulation in double-insulated end equipment without additional system-level barriers.

Does ST provide SPICE models or thermal simulation files for STPS8H100FP?

ST does not publish SPICE models for STPS8H100FP due to physics-based Schottky behavior limitations in standard diode models. However, thermal transient Zth(j-c) curves (Figure 6) and conduction loss equation (P = 0.48×IF(AV) + 0.0125×IF²(RMS)) are provided for accurate system-level thermal and efficiency simulation.
