UPS540/TR13

Single Diodes Overview

The UPS540e3/TR13 is a 5 A Schottky Barrier Rectifier manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in the PowerMITE3 surface-mount package. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 40 V and an average rectified output current of 5 A. The device exhibits a low forward voltage of 0.47 V at 5 A and 25°C, with a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 100 A. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 3.2 °C/W, supporting high-efficiency operation in compact designs.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• PowerMITE3 package includes a full metallic bottom to eliminate solder flux entrapment during assembly
• Integral locking tab acts as an efficient heat path for heat-sink mounting
• Guard-ring-die construction provides transient protection
• Low profile design with a maximum height of 1 mm

Single Diodes Applications

• Switching and regulating power supplies
• Charge pump circuits
• Silicon Schottky rectification for minimal reverse voltage recovery

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix TR13 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration described in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the e3 suffix designation. Ensure the component matches the specific Microsemi/Microchip manufacturing origin indicated in the documentation. Cross-reference the part number against official distributor catalogs to validate availability and authenticity before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-frequency SMD rectification with minimal footprint. The low forward voltage reduces conduction losses, while the thermal characteristics support efficient heat dissipation through the bottom metal tab. Consider the 40 V reverse voltage rating and 5 A current capacity when designing switching power supplies or charge pump circuits where reverse recovery oscillations must be minimized.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the UPS series of Schottky barrier rectifiers designed for high-efficiency surface-mount applications. The PowerMITE3 package allows for automated insertion equipment compatibility while maintaining performance levels typically associated with larger packages. The product line emphasizes thermal management and reliability in compact electronic assemblies.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official Microchip Technology substitution guides for verified equivalent parts. Do not assume functional interchangeability with other Schottky rectifiers without verifying electrical parameters and package dimensions.
