Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation TS20P01GHC2G

Overview

TS20P01GHC2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 20A, 50V AEC-Q101-qualified standard quad bridge rectifier in TS-6P package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <0.1μA typical reverse leakage at 25°C, 250A peak surge current, and UL Recognized File #E-326243. It serves as the primary AC-to-DC conversion stage in compact, high-reliability power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the TS20P01GHC2G datasheet, TS20P01GHC2G pinout, TS20P01GHC2G application, or TS20P01GHC2G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), forward current rating (20 A), thermal resistance (0.8 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and TS-6P mechanical compatibility with PCB-mounting constraints.

Technical Context

This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase bridge configuration with common-cathode and common-anode terminals externally accessible. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress.

The TS-6P package enables direct PCB mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-case resistance of 0.8 °C/W, supporting continuous 20A conduction at ≤100°C case temperature.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TS20P01GHC2G?

The TS20P01GHC2G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. This rating allows continuous 20 A operation at case temperatures up to 100°C when mounted on a heatsink with thermal interface material. The device's 0.8 °C/W junction-to-case resistance supports thermal designs that maintain TS20P01GHC2G junction temperature within specification under worst-case ambient and load conditions.

Is TS20P01GHC2G pin-compatible with other TS20PxG variants?

Yes, all TS20PxG devices-including TS20P01GHC2G-share identical TS-6P package dimensions, terminal layout, and pinout. Voltage ratings (VRRM) vary from 50 V to 1000 V across the family, but mechanical and electrical interface remains consistent. This enables drop-in replacement during design iteration or BOM optimization without PCB layout changes, provided the selected variant meets the application's reverse voltage requirement.

Does TS20P01GHC2G require a heatsink in 20 A continuous operation?

TS20P01GHC2G requires a heatsink for sustained 20 A DC conduction at ambient temperatures above 40°C. With its 0.8 °C/W RθJC and 150°C TJ MAX, the device dissipates ~22 W (VF ≈ 1.1 V × 20 A) at full load. Without heatsinking, case temperature would exceed safe limits rapidly. A 10 cm² copper pour with 2 oz copper and thermal vias typically achieves ~25 °C/W system resistance, keeping TS20P01GHC2G within spec at 25°C ambient.

What does the "H" suffix in TS20P01GHC2G indicate?

The "H" in TS20P01GHC2G denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, confirming the device has passed the full suite of automotive reliability tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This makes TS20P01GHC2G suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where extended temperature range, vibration resistance, and long-term parametric stability are mandatory.

How is polarity marked on the TS20P01GHC2G package?

TS20P01GHC2G uses standardized TS-6P polarity marking: a white bar or "+" symbol adjacent to the positive DC output terminal (+), and a "–" symbol near the negative DC output terminal. The AC input terminals (AC1 and AC2) are unmarked but positioned symmetrically opposite the DC terminals. This marking aligns with JEDEC MO-214AA and is visible under 10× magnification on the device top surface.
