Product details
Overview
TS4448 RGG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon switching diode in 0603 package, rated for 125 mA average forward current, 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 1.0 A non-repetitive surge current. It features low forward voltage (1.0 V at 100 mA), low junction capacitance (9 pF), and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. It is used in compact DC-DC converter stages of switching mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TS4448 RGG datasheet, TS4448 RGG pinout, TS4448 RGG application, or TS4448 RGG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0603 footprint compatibility, 100 V VRRM, 125 mA IF(AV), low 1.0 V VF at rated current, and halogen-free green compound compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This discrete switching diode employs a single-die silicon PN junction optimized for high-speed switching in low-power SMPS topologies. Its 666°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects the inherent thermal limitation of the 0603 package, requiring careful PCB copper area design for sustained 125 mA operation.
The device exhibits low dynamic forward resistance (≤10 Ω at 10 mA) and minimal reverse leakage (≤100 nA at 80 V), enabling efficient flyback and buck converter freewheeling paths where fast recovery and low conduction loss are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 125 mA - maximum continuous forward current sustainable with proper PCB thermal relief |
| VRRM | 100 V - peak reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown in repetitive operation |
| IFSM | 1.0 A (8.3 ms) - surge current handling capability during startup or transient overload |
| VF @ 100 mA | 1.0 V max - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss in high-duty-cycle switching |
| CJ | 9 pF @ 1 MHz, 0.5 V - junction capacitance affecting high-frequency switching noise and snubber design |
| TJ Range | –40°C to +125°C - operational junction temperature window defining ambient derating limits |
Pinout & Package
Package: 0603 (1.6 × 0.8 × 0.75 mm) surface-mount ceramic chip with matte Au-plated terminals; polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck topology); must withstand 100 V reverse bias when cathode is higher |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with visible band; ties to output or ground return path; reverse leakage ≤100 nA at 80 V ensures low standby loss |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Halogen-free green compound | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS 2011/65/EU - required for eco-compliant consumer and industrial end products |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH - eliminates bake requirement before reflow soldering |
| JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance | Prevents tin whisker growth on Au-plated terminations - ensures long-term reliability in automotive and industrial environments |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Self-extinguishing flammability rating - meets safety standards for enclosed power electronics |
Applications
| Buck Converter Freewheeling Diode | Flyback Secondary Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as the freewheeling diode in low-voltage, high-frequency buck regulators powering microcontrollers or sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides current path during high-side switch off-time; conducts 125 mA continuously with <1.0 V drop. Use Value: Low VF minimizes conduction loss; 9 pF CJ reduces switching node ringing and EMI generation. | Use Scenario: Rectifies isolated secondary output in offline flyback converters under 5 W load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts pulsed output current with 100 V reverse blocking during primary switch on-time. Use Value: 100 V VRRM supports 230 VAC input designs with margin; low IR ensures low no-load power loss. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Clamp | Low-Power LED Driver Flyback |
Use Scenario: Placed across USB-C VBUS lines to clamp transient overvoltage spikes during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as transient voltage suppressor with fast turn-on; leverages 1.0 A IFSM for short-duration surges. Use Value: 100 V standoff rating matches USB PD 20 V max with safety margin; low CJ avoids signal integrity degradation. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode in constant-current LED driver ICs driving single-string 350 mA LEDs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Handles discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) current pulses up to 125 mA average. Use Value: 0603 size enables ultra-compact layout; 125°C TJ(max) supports sealed fixture thermal environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROHM RB520S-40T1G | VRRM = 40 V, IF(AV) = 200 mA, VF = 0.33 V typ @ 100 mA | Lower voltage rating; better efficiency at low VOUT; unsuitable for 100 V bus applications | Select when operating below 36 V and prioritizing ultra-low VF |
| Vishay ES1J | VRRM = 600 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, DO-214AC package (larger than 0603) | Higher voltage/current; through-hole or larger SMD footprint; higher thermal mass | Select for higher-power or higher-voltage SMPS where board space allows larger package |
Compared with ROHM RB520S-40T1G and Vishay ES1J, TS4448 RGG uniquely balances 100 V standoff, 0603 miniaturization, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained, eco-regulated 5–24 V SMPS designs where 40 V alternatives lack margin and 600 V parts waste board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for TS4448 RGG?
The TS4448 RGG is rated for 125 mA average forward current (IF(AV)) at 25°C ambient with adequate PCB copper thermal relief. Derating is required above 25°C per the admissible power dissipation curve; at 70°C ambient, usable IF(AV) drops to approximately 85 mA due to its 666°C/W RθJA.
Does TS4448 RGG meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, TS4448 RGG complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2002/96/EC. Its "G" suffix confirms halogen-free construction per IEC 61249-2-21, using green molding compound and matte Au-plated terminals - verified in TSC's official H1612 revision documentation.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for TS4448 RGG at 80 V?
At 80 V reverse voltage and 25°C junction temperature, TS4448 RGG exhibits a maximum reverse current (IR) of 100 nA, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This low leakage supports energy-efficient standby operation in battery-powered or always-on power supplies.
Can TS4448 RGG be used in place of a 1N4148 in high-frequency circuits?
No - TS4448 RGG is not a direct substitute for 1N4148. While both are switching diodes, TS4448 RGG has higher VF (1.0 V vs. ~0.7 V), lower speed (no specified trr), and is optimized for power rectification, not signal clipping or logic-level switching. Its 0603 package also differs from 1N4148's DO-35.
What does the marking code "S5" indicate on TS4448 RGG devices?
The "S5" marking code laser-etched on the TS4448 RGG body identifies the specific die version and manufacturing lot traceability per TSC's internal coding system. It is not a functional identifier but serves quality control and counterfeit mitigation purposes - confirmed in TSC's H1612 mechanical data sheet.
