Product details
Overview
VS-16CTQ100SPBF from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-performance, center-tap Schottky rectifier with common cathode configuration, rated for 100 V reverse voltage and 2 × 8 A average forward current per leg at TC = 148 °C. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.58 V at 8 A, TJ = 125 °C), supports 175 °C junction operation, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power systems including DC/DC converters and reverse battery protection.
For engineers reviewing the VS-16CTQ100SPBF datasheet, VS-16CTQ100SPBF pinout, VS-16CTQ100SPBF application, or VS-16CTQ100SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VR rating, dual-leg thermal resistance (RthJC = 3.25 °C/W per leg), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package optimized for high-power density and thermal reliability in automotive and industrial SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky die in a single D2PAK package with shared cathode terminal, enabling compact center-tap topology for synchronous rectification and bidirectional freewheeling paths. Its proprietary barrier technology minimizes reverse leakage (7 mA at 125 °C) while maintaining low VF and high dV/dt capability (10,000 V/μs).
The VS-16CTQ100SPBF operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, features guard ring protection for ruggedness, and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with peak reflow tolerance up to 260 °C - confirming suitability for lead-free SMT assembly in high-reliability automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Max DC Reverse Voltage) | 100 V - defines maximum blocking capability in reverse-biased applications like reverse battery protection |
| IF(AV) per leg | 8 A - continuous DC or rectangular-wave forward current per diode leg at TC = 148 °C |
| VF at 8 A, TJ = 125 °C | 0.58 V - directly determines conduction loss and thermal load in high-efficiency SMPS output stages |
| RthJC per leg | 3.25 °C/W - enables thermal design of heatsink interface for ≤148 °C case temperature under full load |
| IRM at 125 °C | 7 mA - low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-temperature automotive environments |
| EAS per leg | 7.5 mJ - quantifies unclamped inductive switching robustness during transient fault conditions |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive locations without derating |
Pinout & Package
VS-16CTQ100SPBF uses the TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. The three-terminal configuration supports center-tap rectifier topology: terminals 1 and 3 are anodes (one per Schottky die), terminal 2 is the common cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Die A) | Input connection for first Schottky diode leg; must be routed with low-inductance path for high-frequency switching |
| 2 | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both diode legs; requires low-impedance copper pour for thermal and current return |
| 3 | Anode (Die B) | Input connection for second Schottky diode leg; electrically isolated from Pin 1 but thermally coupled via shared package base |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Center-tap common cathode configuration | Enables single-package implementation of dual-path freewheeling or synchronous rectification without external interconnects |
| 175 °C TJ operation | Eliminates need for thermal derating in engine-control units and ADAS power supplies operating near hot zones |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive powertrain and chassis applications per stress-test requirements |
| Guard ring structure | Prevents edge breakdown under high dv/dt and mechanical stress, extending lifetime in noisy automotive environments |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Permits standard lead-free reflow without baking or special handling, reducing manufacturing cost and risk |
Applications
| Automotive DC/DC Converters | Industrial SMPS Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 12 V to 5 V/3.3 V buck converter in vehicle infotainment ECU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-leg Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFETs in synchronous rectification path; handles bidirectional current during dead-time intervals.

Use Scenario: 48 V input telecom rectifier module delivering 20 A at 12 V output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Center-tap output rectifier in full-wave topology; each leg conducts alternate half-cycles with shared cathode return. Use Value: RthJC = 3.25 °C/W per leg allows direct PCB copper thermal coupling, eliminating discrete heatsinks in space-constrained modules. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Freewheeling Diode in Motor Drivers |
Use Scenario: Input protection circuit preventing damage during accidental reverse battery connection in ADAS camera module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF series-blocking diode placed between battery and system input; conducts only during correct polarity. Use Value: 100 V VR rating withstands load-dump transients; 7 mA IRM at 125 °C ensures <100 μW standby dissipation in hot ambient. |
Use Scenario: Inductive flyback suppression in 24 V BLDC motor gate driver power stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for back-EMF energy during PWM off-time; clamps voltage spikes to safe levels. Use Value: 10,000 V/μs dV/dt rating prevents false turn-on during fast-switching events; EAS = 7.5 mJ absorbs repetitive inductive energy without degradation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS16H100CG | TO-247AC package, 100 V/16 A total, single-die common cathode; higher RthJC (2.5 °C/W per device, not per leg) | Requires larger PCB footprint; better suited for through-hole industrial PSUs than automotive SMT | Select when board-level reflow compatibility is secondary to ultimate thermal performance in open-frame designs |
| SS10100CT | D2PAK package, 100 V/10 A total (2 × 5 A), VF = 0.75 V @ 5 A, TJ max = 150 °C | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C rating; lower surge rating (IFSM = 350 A) | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial converters where cost is prioritized over extended temperature margin |
Compared with STPS16H100CG and SS10100CT, the VS-16CTQ100SPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C operation, and D2PAK packaging - making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood automotive use with no layout or thermal redesign required.

The VS-16CTQ100SPBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay's qualification testing and documented in the official datasheet (Document Number: 94145). This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings without thermal derating. The device maintains specified VF and IRM performance up to this limit.
Is VS-16CTQ100SPBF AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, VS-16CTQ100SPBF is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet (Revision: 27-Feb-14). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its suitability for automotive powertrain and chassis applications.
What package type does VS-16CTQ100SPBF use?
VS-16CTQ100SPBF uses the TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package, as defined in JEDEC outline and confirmed by Vishay's dimensional drawing (Document Number: 95014). It features an exposed thermal pad and three terminals: Pins 1 and 3 are anodes, Pin 2 is the common cathode - enabling compact center-tap rectifier layouts.
What is the forward voltage drop of VS-16CTQ100SPBF at 8 A and 125 °C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of VS-16CTQ100SPBF is 0.58 V at 8 A per leg and TJ = 125 °C, per the "ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS" table in the Vishay datasheet. This value is measured under DC or rectangular waveform conditions and directly determines conduction losses in high-efficiency power supply output stages.
Does VS-16CTQ100SPBF have moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?
Yes, VS-16CTQ100SPBF is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C.
