Product details
Overview
ZLLS500TC 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 305mV typical forward voltage at 50mA - optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control circuits operating above 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the ZLLS500TC datasheet, ZLLS500TC pinout, ZLLS500TC application, or ZLLS500TC equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF at high IF, AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal rating to 150°C junction temperature, and verified performance under elevated ambient conditions up to 100°C.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a planar epitaxial construction with low-barrier metal-semiconductor junction, enabling fast switching (trr ≤ 3ns) and minimal reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 210pC). Its low forward voltage drop remains stable across temperature, with VF = 415mV at IF = 500mA and TA = 100°C.
The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and features a thermally robust SOT23 package rated to 150°C junction temperature, with RθJA = 198°C/W on FR4 PCB (t < 5s), supporting reliable operation in automotive and industrial power stages where thermal management is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 40 V - maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; supports 36V nominal bus designs with margin. |
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 0.7 A - sustained conduction capability without thermal runaway on standard FR4 layout. |
| VF @ 50mA | 305 mV typ - enables >95% efficiency in low-voltage synchronous rectification paths. |
| IR @ 30V | 10 μA max - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on charging circuits. |
| trr | 3 ns - minimizes switching losses in high-frequency (>1MHz) DC-DC topologies. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - allows placement near hot components in compact power modules. |
| Qrr | 210 pC - reduces EMI and gate drive stress in MOSFET-synchronous buck stages. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package with matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe; thermally rated to 150°C junction temperature; moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Anode connection | Forward current entry point; connects to switch node in buck converter freewheeling path. |
| 2 (Cathode) | Cathode connection | Output/return path; ties to output capacitor ground or common rail in charge pump circuits. |
| 3 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or thermal pad connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF at high temperature | VF = 415mV @ IF = 500mA, TA = 100°C - maintains efficiency in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive power electronics - meets vibration, temperature cycling, and HTRB requirements. |
| Fast reverse recovery | trr ≤ 3ns - eliminates tail current, reducing cross-conduction loss in synchronous rectifiers. |
| Green molding compound | UL 94V-0 rated, halogen-free plastic - satisfies RoHS and automotive material compliance mandates. |

Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | USB-C Charging Circuits |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 12V/48V vehicle battery to 5V/9V for infotainment and ADAS modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in non-synchronous buck regulator; handles peak currents up to 1.14A. Use Value: Low VF and 150°C TJ rating sustain efficiency and reliability during engine-bay thermal transients. | Use Scenario: Input OR-ing and reverse-polarity protection in dual-input USB-C PD chargers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed, low-loss rectifier in 20–100W portable charger front-end. Use Value: 10μA IR at 30V prevents standby drain; 3ns trr avoids shoot-through in multi-source arbitration. |
| Motor Control Flyback Protection | Strobe Flash Drivers |
Use Scenario: Back-EMF clamping in brushed DC motor H-bridge drivers for power tools and HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery flyback diode absorbing inductive kick during PWM turn-off. Use Value: 210pC Qrr limits voltage overshoot; 13A IFSM withstands stall-current surges. | Use Scenario: High-current pulse rectification in camera flash capacitor discharge circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VBSS8140VH | 40V VR, 1A IF, SOT23-3, VF = 370mV @ 1A - higher current but higher VF at low IF. | Better suited for 1A continuous loads; less optimal below 200mA due to VF slope. | Select when peak load exceeds 0.8A and board space permits same footprint. |
| ZHCS500 | Same SOT23-3, 40V VR, but VF = 280mV @ 50mA - lower VF at room temp, not rated >125°C. | Preferred for low-temp consumer devices; not qualified to AEC-Q101 or rated for >125°C operation. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where ambient stays <85°C. |
Compared with VBSS8140VH and ZHCS500, ZLLS500TC uniquely balances low-leakage (10μA), AEC-Q101 compliance, and stable VF up to 100°C - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive DC-DC and industrial motor drives requiring extended thermal range.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of ZLLS500TC?
ZLLS500TC has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and a thermal resistance of RθJA = 198°C/W when mounted on FR4 PCB with t < 5s measurement condition. This value assumes standard 1oz copper coverage and still-air environment - actual RθJA may vary with PCB layout and airflow.
Is ZLLS500TC pin-compatible with ZHCS500?
Yes, ZLLS500TC and ZHCS500 share identical SOT23-3 pinout (Anode–Cathode–NC) and mechanical dimensions. However, ZLLS500TC is rated for operation up to 150°C junction temperature and qualified to AEC-Q101, whereas ZHCS500 is specified only to 125°C and lacks automotive qualification.
Does ZLLS500TC support reflow soldering per JEDEC standards?
Yes, ZLLS500TC is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10s max). The matte tin finish on Alloy 42 leadframe ensures reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
What is the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and why does it matter in DC-DC designs?
ZLLS500TC has Qrr = 210pC, measured at IF = 500mA with di/dt = 500mA/ns. Low Qrr reduces switching node ringing and gate driver stress in synchronous buck converters, directly improving EMI performance and MOSFET reliability during hard-switching transitions.
