Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P03G

Overview

TS15P03G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) quad-configuration standard bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and 240A peak surge current capability; it is widely deployed in industrial SMPS and lighting ballast circuits requiring high reliability under thermal cycling.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P03G datasheet, TS15P03G pinout, TS15P03G application, or TS15P03G equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM = 200V, I_F = 15A, R_θJC = 0.8°C/W, AEC-Q101 qualification availability (TS15P03GH), and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with PCB-mounting torque ≤0.92 N·m.

Technical Context

The TS15P03G integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology, enabling AC-to-DC conversion without external interconnection. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C operating range and supports high-reliability operation in thermally demanding environments.

Thermal performance is defined by a low junction-to-case resistance of 0.8°C/W, allowing sustained 15A average forward current with appropriate heatsinking. The device meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, confirming suitability for automotive-grade and industrial-grade board-level assembly.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS15P03G?

The TS15P03G has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +150°C, with a specified operating range from -55°C to +150°C. This rating is validated under steady-state conditions with proper heatsinking and accounts for thermal resistance of 0.8°C/W from junction to case. Derating curves in the official datasheet define safe current limits at elevated ambient temperatures, and the TS15P03G must not exceed this limit to ensure long-term reliability and avoid parametric shift.

Is TS15P03G AEC-Q101 qualified?

The base TS15P03G is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the variant TS15P03GH is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. The "H" suffix denotes automotive-grade screening including extended temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD testing. For automotive applications such as body control modules or infotainment power supplies, TS15P03GH must be specified - TS15P03G alone does not meet automotive qualification requirements.

What is the forward voltage drop of TS15P03G at full rated current?

At I_F = 15.0 A and T_J = 25°C, the TS15P03G exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (V_F) of 1.1 V per diode. Since the device contains four diodes in bridge configuration, the total conduction path includes two diodes in series during each half-cycle, resulting in ~2.2 V total drop under worst-case conditions. This value is measured using pulse test conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) to minimize self-heating effects.

How does the TS-6P package of TS15P03G differ from standard GBPC packages?

The TS-6P package used by TS15P03G features a unique leadframe geometry with wider creepage/clearance spacing and optimized thermal pad layout compared to GBPC. It has a distinct pin pitch (5.08 mm vs. GBPC's 4.8 mm), different mounting hole placement, and a higher thermal conductivity mold compound. These differences mean TS15P03G is not mechanically interchangeable with GBPC-series bridges without PCB layout modification, even though both are 4-terminal bridge rectifiers.

What is the meaning of the marking code "TS15P03G" on the device body?

The marking code "TS15P03G" on the TS15P03G indicates: "TS" = Taiwan Semiconductor brand; "15" = 15A average forward current rating; "P" = bridge rectifier product family; "03" = 200V V_RRM (per the series mapping: 01=50V, 02=100V, 03=200V, etc.); "G" = green (halogen-free) molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21. Date code and factory code appear separately on the same marking line.
