Product details
Overview
ZLLS500TA from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOT23 package, rated for 40V reverse voltage and 0.7A continuous forward current, with 10μA reverse leakage at 30V and 25°C. It delivers low forward voltage (305–710 mV across 50–1500 mA), fast 3 ns reverse recovery time, and operates up to 150°C junction temperature-ideal for high-efficiency DC-DC converters in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ZLLS500TA datasheet, ZLLS500TA pinout, ZLLS500TA application, or ZLLS500TA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal rating to 150°C, low VF at elevated temperatures (415 mV @ 500 mA, 100°C), and SOT23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained mobile telecomms and motor control designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar metal-semiconductor junction optimized for low conduction loss and minimal switching charge. Its 210 pC reverse recovery charge and 3 ns trr enable high-frequency operation in synchronous rectification and flyback topologies without significant switching loss penalties.
The device's thermal resistance (RθJA = 198 °C/W on FR4 with short-duration pulse) and 150°C maximum junction temperature support sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as under-hood automotive modules and sealed industrial enclosures where ambient exceeds 85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 40 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in boost/flyback output stages. |
| IF | 0.7 A - Continuous forward current rating; determines steady-state power delivery capability in charging circuits. |
| VF @ 500 mA | 465–530 mV - Forward voltage drop at typical operating current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in DC-DC rectifiers. |
| IR @ 30 V | 6–10 μA - Reverse leakage current; critical for standby efficiency and battery drain in always-on mobile telecomms systems. |
| trr | 3 ns - Reverse recovery time; enables stable operation above 1 MHz switching frequencies without oscillation or shoot-through risk. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports use in AEC-Q101-compliant automotive applications without derating at 100°C ambient. |
| Qrr | 210 pC - Reverse recovery charge; quantifies stored charge cleared during turn-off; lower value reduces EMI and gate drive stress in synchronous FETs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1, UL 94V-0 rated, and 0.0089 g weight. Thermally rated to 150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Anode connection | Forward current entry point; connects to switch node in buck converter or cathode of driving FET in flyback. |
| 2 (Cathode) | Cathode connection | Forward current exit point; ties to output rail or ground return path; carries full load current during conduction. |
| 3 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating-no PCB trace or thermal pad connection permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing-enables use in engine control and ADAS power rails. |
| Low VF at 100°C | 415 mV @ 500 mA, 100°C-maintains high efficiency in thermally stressed environments where silicon diodes degrade significantly. |
| Fast trr = 3 ns | Enables clean turn-off in >1 MHz SMPS designs without snubbers or added gate resistance on synchronous MOSFETs. |
| SOT23 footprint | Standardized 3-pin package compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow profiles; supports high-density board layouts in mobile chargers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VBSS8140VH | 40 V VR, 1 A IF, VF = 450 mV @ 1 A, SOT23-3, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher current rating but larger VF at low currents; requires layout review for thermal dissipation at 1 A continuous | Preferred when peak load exceeds 0.7 A but board area remains constrained |
| ZHCS500TA | 40 V VR, 0.7 A IF, VF = 270 mV @ 100 mA, not AEC-Q101 qualified, lower thermal rating (125°C TJ) | Optimized for <85°C ambient; unsuitable for under-hood or sealed industrial enclosures | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with ambient ≤70°C and no automotive qualification requirement |
Compared with VBSS8140VH and ZHCS500TA, ZLLS500TA uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 150°C operation, and sub-500 mV VF at 500 mA-making it the optimal choice for thermally aggressive, safety-critical automotive and industrial rectification where reliability and efficiency must coexist.

FAQ
Is ZLLS500TA suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes. ZLLS500TA is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for 150°C junction temperature, with verified performance up to 100°C ambient in DC-DC converters and motor drivers. Its 10 μA reverse leakage at 30 V and 85°C ensures low standby loss in engine control units and body electronics modules.
What is the significance of the NC pin (Pin 3) in the SOT23 package?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating-no solder joint, trace, or thermal pad should be attached. Connecting it risks internal shorting or thermal stress due to mechanical mismatch between the leadframe and die attach. The NC designation is confirmed in Diodes' DS33227 Rev. 6-2 schematic and top-view diagram.
How does ZLLS500TA's VF compare to standard silicon diodes at 100°C?
At 500 mA and 100°C, ZLLS500TA exhibits VF = 415 mV, whereas a typical 1N4007 silicon diode exceeds 900 mV under identical conditions. This 54% reduction lowers conduction loss by >50%, directly improving thermal margin and efficiency in high-ambient applications like sealed power adapters.
Can ZLLS500TA replace ZHCS500TA in existing designs?
ZLLS500TA can substitute ZHCS500TA electrically and mechanically (same SOT23-3 footprint), but only if the application requires AEC-Q101 qualification or operates above 85°C ambient. ZHCS500TA offers lower VF at room temperature but lacks high-temperature leakage stability and automotive qualification-so replacement requires thermal validation and compliance review.
