High-Performance STPS8H100D Schottky Diode for Demanding Power Applications
STMicroelectronics continues to set industry benchmarks with the STPS8H100D Schottky Diode, a high-efficiency semiconductor solution engineered for modern power electronics systems. This 100V 8A diode combines advanced Schottky technology with a robust TO-220AC package, delivering exceptional thermal performance and electrical characteristics that address the evolving needs of power conversion applications.
Technical Excellence in Power Management
The STPS8H100D's design optimizes energy efficiency through its ultra-low forward voltage drop of 0.71V at 8A operating current. This specification translates to significant conduction loss reductions compared to conventional diodes, making it particularly valuable for high-frequency switching applications where thermal management is critical. The device's 100V maximum reverse voltage capability ensures reliable operation in demanding power supply environments, while maintaining a minimal leakage current of 4.5µA at rated voltage.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Max Reverse Voltage | 100V |
| Average Rectified Current | 8A |
| Forward Voltage (Max) | 710mV @ 8A |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 4.5µA @ 100V |
| Operating Temperature | Up to 175°C |
Engineered for Real-World Applications
Designed for through-hole mounting in the industry-standard TO-220 package, this diode offers excellent mechanical stability and heat dissipation characteristics. Its fast recovery time (<500ns) enables efficient operation in switching power supplies, motor drives, and battery charging systems. The device's thermal endurance extends beyond typical specifications, maintaining performance integrity even under sustained high-current conditions.
Key application areas include:
- High-frequency DC-DC converters
- Industrial motor control systems
- Automotive power management circuits

Design Advantages and System Benefits
The STPS8H100D's Schottky architecture eliminates the minority carrier storage effect found in conventional diodes, resulting in faster switching transitions and reduced energy losses. This characteristic proves particularly beneficial in synchronous rectification topologies where efficiency gains directly impact system thermal performance and size constraints. The device's 175°C maximum junction temperature specification provides design flexibility for high-ambient environments, reducing the need for extensive cooling solutions in compact power systems.
Manufacturers benefit from the component's compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and its tube packaging format that facilitates automated handling. The device's robust construction withstands mechanical stress during installation while maintaining long-term reliability under thermal cycling conditions.
