Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division V2P22L-M3/I

Overview

V2P22L-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) rectifier in SMP (DO-220AA) package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 2.0 A average forward current at 10 mm × 10 mm PCB pad, with 0.68 V forward voltage at 2.0 A and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC/DC converters and high-frequency inverters.

For engineers reviewing the V2P22L-M3/I datasheet, V2P22L-M3/I pinout, V2P22L-M3/I application, or V2P22L-M3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification availability (via HM3 suffix), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction - all critical for automotive and industrial power supply designs requiring high efficiency and reliability.

Technical Context

The V2P22L-M3/I employs trench MOS Schottky technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and reduced switching losses compared to planar Schottky or PN junction rectifiers. Its single-diode configuration supports unidirectional conduction with cathode marked by color band, optimized for high-frequency operation up to several MHz due to low 90 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V.

Thermally, it relies on copper pad mounting for heat dissipation, with R_θJA = 125 °C/W (free air, recommended pad) and R_θJM = 15 °C/W (on aluminum PCB), enabling stable operation across -40 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. The device meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the V2P22L-M3/I?

The V2P22L-M3/I has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 87470. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the datasheet show usable current decreases above 100 °C ambient, and thermal design must ensure dP_D/dT_J < 1/R_θJA to avoid thermal runaway. The V2P22L-M3/I achieves this via its SMP package and optimized thermal pad layout.

Is the V2P22L-M3/I RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?

Yes, the V2P22L-M3/I is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant per Vishay's material categorization standard (Document 99912). The "M3" suffix explicitly denotes commercial-grade, lead-free, and halogen-free construction. All plating, molding compound, and internal materials meet JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 and IEC 61249-2-21 requirements. This compliance is confirmed in the ordering information table and mechanical data section of the V2P22L-M3/I datasheet.

What does the "I" suffix mean in V2P22L-M3/I?

The "I" suffix in V2P22L-M3/I indicates packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. This contrasts with the "H" suffix (7-inch reel, 3,000 units). Both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications - the "I" variant is optimized for high-volume SMT lines requiring longer uninterrupted feed. The V2P22L-M3/I remains fully interchangeable with V2P22L-M3/H in circuit design and layout.

Does the V2P22L-M3/I have AEC-Q101 qualification?

No, the V2P22L-M3/I is not AEC-Q101 qualified. That qualification applies only to parts with the "HM3" prefix, such as V2P22LHM3_A/I. The "M3" suffix denotes commercial-grade qualification, while "HM3" adds automotive stress testing per AEC-Q101. For automotive production, specify V2P22LHM3_A/I; the V2P22L-M3/I is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required.

What is the forward voltage drop of the V2P22L-M3/I at 2.0 A and 125 °C?

The V2P22L-M3/I exhibits a forward voltage drop of 0.68 V at 2.0 A and 25 °C, and 0.76 V at 2.0 A and 125 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table in Document 87470. This temperature-stable V_F behavior reflects the inherent advantage of trench MOS Schottky technology over planar alternatives. At full load and elevated temperature, the V2P22L-M3/I maintains low conduction loss - critical for thermal management in compact power supplies.
