Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P03G C2G

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; used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial SMPS and lighting ballasts.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P03G datasheet, TS15P03G pinout, TS15P03G application, or TS15P03G equivalent, key selection criteria include V_RRM=200V, I_F=15A average forward current, thermal resistance R_θJC=0.8°C/W, AEC-Q101 qualification availability (TS15P03GH), and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with PCB-mount high-power rectification.

Technical Context

This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration, enabling direct 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 under repeated 8.3ms half-sine surge events up to 240A.

The TS-6P package provides low thermal resistance (0.8°C/W junction-to-case) and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked on the case, and the molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.

FAQ

What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) for TS15P03G?

The TS15P03G has a V_RRM of 200 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value defines the highest continuous reverse voltage each internal diode can block without breakdown. It supports safe operation with 141V RMS AC inputs (e.g., 200V peak), including margin for line surges common in industrial environments. The "03" in TS15P03G explicitly denotes the 200V rating within the TS15P family.

Does TS15P03G have AEC-Q101 qualification?

TS15P03G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the AEC-Q101-qualified version is TS15P03GH (indicated by the "H" suffix in the ordering code). Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications, but TS15P03GH undergoes additional stress testing per AEC-Q101 standards for automotive under-hood applications. Always verify the full part number suffix when selecting for automotive use.

What is the forward voltage drop (V_F) of TS15P03G at rated current?

At I_F = 15.0 A and T_J = 25°C, the maximum forward voltage per diode is 1.1 V, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. Since TS15P03G is a full-wave bridge, two diodes conduct simultaneously in series during each half-cycle, resulting in a total V_F of ≤2.2 V across the output terminals under those conditions.

Can TS15P03G be used in place of TS15P02G or TS15P04G?

No-TS15P03G is not interchangeable with TS15P02G (100V V_RRM) or TS15P04G (400V V_RRM) without redesign. Each variant has a fixed, non-adjustable V_RRM determined by its internal die structure. Substituting across voltage grades risks premature failure (if underspecified) or unnecessary cost/size penalty (if overspecified). Always match the V_RRM to the system's maximum expected reverse voltage.

What is the thermal resistance (R_θJC) of TS15P03G and how does it affect heatsinking?

TS15P03G has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (R_θJC) of 0.8°C/W, measured under standard test conditions. This low value means that for every watt of power dissipated (e.g., 15A × 1.1V ≈ 16.5W), the junction rises only 13.2°C above case temperature. Effective heatsinking requires maintaining case temperature ≤75°C to keep T_J ≤150°C; thus, R_θCA (case-to-ambient) must be ≤4.5°C/W for full-load operation without forced air.
