Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS15P05GHC2G

Overview

TS15P05GHC2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability-used in AC/DC front-end stages of industrial SMPS and LED drivers.

For engineers reviewing the TS15P05GHC2G datasheet, TS15P05GHC2G pinout, TS15P05GHC2G application, or TS15P05GHC2G equivalent, key selection factors include V_RRM = 600V, I_F = 15A, I_FSM = 240A, R_θJC = 0.8°C/W, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with high-surge, high-reliability board-level rectification.

Technical Context

This device integrates four diodes in a single-phase bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology, enabling full-wave rectification without external interconnects. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse blocking up to 600V and low IR drift over temperature.

The TS-6P package provides low thermal resistance (R_θJC = 0.8°C/W) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, supporting high-power density designs where junction-to-case heat transfer and long-term solder joint integrity are critical-especially under repeated 240A surge conditions per JESD22-A112.

FAQ

What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of TS15P05GHC2G?

The TS15P05GHC2G has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM) rating of 600 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the TS15P05G variant and applies directly to TS15P05GHC2G, which shares identical electrical specifications and AEC-Q101 qualification. It defines the maximum allowable reverse voltage each diode can block continuously without breakdown.

Is TS15P05GHC2G suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, TS15P05GHC2G is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its ordering code and explicitly stated in the FEATURES section. It undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q101 standards-including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock-making it suitable for under-hood and powertrain-adjacent automotive subsystems such as onboard chargers and body control modules.

What does the "C2G" suffix in TS15P05GHC2G signify?

The "C2G" suffix denotes packaging and environmental compliance: "C2" indicates tape-and-reel packing (15 units per tube, per Ordering Information note), and "G" confirms RoHS-compliant, halogen-free molding compound per IEC 61249-2-21. This matches TSC's standard coding convention for green, lead-free, and reel-ready variants of the TS15P series.

How does the thermal performance of TS15P05GHC2G compare to standard GBU-series bridges?

TS15P05GHC2G achieves a junction-to-case thermal resistance (R_θJC) of 0.8°C/W, significantly lower than typical GBU-series devices (e.g., GBU15J at ~1.5°C/W). This 47% improvement enables higher power derating and more compact heatsinking in TS-6P-mounted designs-critical for space-constrained industrial and automotive power supplies where thermal headroom is limited.

Can TS15P05GHC2G be used as a direct replacement for TS15P05G in existing designs?

Yes, TS15P05GHC2G is a functionally and mechanically identical upgrade to TS15P05G, with added AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS/halogen-free compliance ("H" and "C2G" suffixes). Pinout, package dimensions, electrical specs, and thermal characteristics are unchanged-allowing drop-in replacement without layout or firmware modifications in new production or BOM refreshes.
