Product details
Overview
ZHCS1000TC from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOT23 package, rated for 40 V reverse voltage and 1 A continuous forward current, with typical forward voltage of 425 mV at 1 A and reverse leakage of 50 μA at 30 V, used in DC-DC converters and mobile telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ZHCS1000TC datasheet, ZHCS1000TC pinout, ZHCS1000TC application, or ZHCS1000TC equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for efficiency-critical 1 A switching paths, SOT23 footprint compatibility, thermal performance under 125°C junction limit, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial and telecom designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a planar silicon structure optimized for low forward voltage drop and fast recovery (trr ≤ 12 ns), enabling high-frequency operation in synchronous rectification and flyback secondary-side rectification circuits. Its 25 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 30 V bias supports minimal switching loss in sub-MHz DC-DC topologies.
The device operates within a -55°C to +150°C storage range and sustains 1.75 A average peak forward current at 50% duty cycle, with transient surge capability up to 12 A for 100 μs-critical for handling inrush and load-dump transients in compact power modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for input/output rail isolation in buck/boost converters. |
| IF(AV) | 1 A - Continuous DC forward current rating; defines steady-state power delivery capacity in point-of-load regulators. |
| VF @ 1A | 425 mV (typ) - Low conduction loss at full load; reduces I²R heating and improves efficiency by ~0.4 W vs. higher-VF alternatives. |
| IR @ 30V | 50 μA (typ) - Minimal reverse leakage; preserves battery life in always-on mobile subsystems and avoids standby current drift. |
| trr | 12 ns - Fast reverse recovery time; enables clean turn-off in 500 kHz–1 MHz switching applications without tail current losses. |
| CT @ 1MHz | 25 pF - Junction capacitance at 30 V bias; limits capacitive switching loss and EMI generation in high-dV/dt environments. |
| TJ(max) | +125°C - Maximum junction temperature; constrains thermal design margin when mounted on 15 mm × 15 mm ceramic substrate per datasheet test condition. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Standard), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-finished Alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to switch node or inductor output; must handle 1 A DC and 12 A surge pulses without bondwire fusing. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit / reverse voltage reference | Typically tied to ground or output capacitor negative; serves as return path and reverse-blocking terminal. |
| NC / Heat Sink Tab (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Electrically isolated; may be used for mechanical anchoring or thermal relief but carries no current or signal function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF at 1A | 425 mV typ - Enables >92% efficiency in 3.3 V/1 A buck converter at 500 kHz, reducing thermal stress on PCB copper. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified to AEC-Q standards per Diodes' high-reliability program - suitable for non-automotive industrial systems requiring extended lifetime and stable parametric drift. |
| Lead-free & Green compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); meets RoHS 3 and IATF 16949 manufacturing requirements for global supply chain traceability. |
| SOT23 footprint | Standardized 2.9 mm × 2.4 mm outline with 0.915 mm pin pitch - ensures drop-in replacement compatibility across legacy and new designs using common pick-and-place tooling. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Mobile Telecom Power Rails |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5 V/1 A buck converter powering baseband processor core logic. IC Role / Device Role: Synchronous rectifier replacing MOSFET gate drive complexity; conducts forward current during low-side switch ON phase.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBR0540T1G | Same 40 V VRRM, 0.5 A IF rating, 450 mV VF @ 0.5 A; SOD-123 package | Limited to 0.5 A continuous use; unsuitable for 1 A DC-DC outputs | Select only for space-constrained 0.5 A bias rails where SOD-123 footprint is preferred. |
| SS14 | 40 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 500 mV VF @ 1 A; DO-214AC package | DO-214AC requires 3× larger PCB area and higher thermal resistance than SOT23 | Choose only when higher surge rating (30 A IFSM) justifies larger footprint and manual assembly. |
Compared with MBR0540T1G and SS14, ZHCS1000TC uniquely delivers 1 A capability in SOT23 with 425 mV VF-enabling miniaturized, thermally efficient 1 A power stages unachievable with either alternative without trade-offs in size, current, or voltage drop.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect PCB layout?
The ZHCS1000TC has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C. To maintain this limit, the SOT23 package must be mounted on a PCB with adequate copper pour-minimum 15 mm × 15 mm ceramic substrate per datasheet thermal test condition. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance, risking premature failure at 1 A continuous load.
Is ZHCS1000TC qualified for automotive applications?
ZHCS1000TC is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade equivalents with Q-suffix (e.g., ZHCS1000QTC) that undergo PPAP, AEC-Q200 testing, and are manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Standard ZHCS1000TC is intended for industrial and consumer applications meeting JEDEC reliability standards.
How does the 12 ns reverse recovery time impact EMI in switching converters?
A 12 ns trr minimizes reverse recovery current spikes during turn-off, reducing high-frequency ringing on switch-node waveforms. This directly lowers conducted EMI in the 30–100 MHz band, easing compliance with CISPR 22 Class B limits without additional snubbing components in 500 kHz–1 MHz converters.
Can ZHCS1000TC replace a standard PN junction diode in an existing design?
Yes-if the original diode's VRRM ≥ 40 V and IF ≥ 1 A. ZHCS1000TC's lower VF (425 mV vs. ~700 mV for PN diodes) reduces conduction loss and heat generation, but its higher IR (50 μA vs. <1 μA for PN) may affect ultra-low-power sleep modes. Verify leakage impact in battery-backed circuits.
