Rectifiers Deliver High Efficiency January 18, 2007
Set for deployment in dc/dc converters, mobile phones, digital audio players, digital cameras, and LCD applications, the SBR family of rectifiers touts an ultra-low forward voltage for high efficiency combined with high thermal stability, an ESD rating of ±16 kV HBM, and much higher reverse avalanche capabilities when compared to traditional Schottky devices. The family consists of six devices offered in the company's PowerDI123 flat-lead frame package. The 3A SBR3U30P1 device achieves a continuous forward current rating of 3A with an ultra-low, forward-voltage drop, and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. The 3A SBR3M30P1 offers a higher maximum junction temperature of 175°C. Remaining members of the group includes the 2A SBR2U30P1 ultra-low, forward-voltage version, 2A SBR2M30P1 ultra-low leakage diode, and the 30V SBR2A30P1 and 40V SBR2A40P1 low forward-voltage devices.
