Schottky diodes in low-profile SMA/SMB flat packs handle up to 5 A
STMicroelectronics has launched 26 new Schottky diodes in low-profile SMA and SMB Flat packages, covering voltage ratings from 25 to 200 V and current ratings from 1 to 5 A. The 1.0 mm-high devices have 50% lower profile than diodes in standard SMA and SMB packages, enabling designers to increase power density and save space. […]
Voltage-clamping diodes handle 3-kW transients
To ensure critical operations, aviation and space systems rely on digital and logic functionality and circuitry in engine control units, environmental controls, instruments, and actuators. Data centers, the 5G infrastructure, and communication systems also rely on complex circuitry requiring protection. Each system must operate continuously despite voltage surges and spikes from lightning, solar events and […]
SiC diodes rated for 1,700 Vdc and 5 A
A third-generation 1,700-V 5-A SiC Schottky diode called the GP3D005A170B comes in the industry standard TO-247-2 package as well as bare-die format. 10-A and 20-A 1,700-V diodes will follow shortly. Michael T. Robinson, SemiQ President states that, “This 1,700-V silicon carbide Schottky Diode is the latest extension to our Gen 3 product family which was […]
SMD rectifiers carry voltage ratings from 200-1,000 V
The TUAS8x Series device’s wettable flank package enables higher power density, increased manufacturing yields and reliability in a wide range of power conversion applications, offering industry-leading 8-A maximum current. The industry standard, SMPC4.6U SMD package–configured with two anodes and one cathode, wettable flank terminations–facilitates automated placement and automated optical inspection (AOI). This package also offers […]
SiC Schottky diodes now come in DDPAK packages
Infineon Technologies AG expands its CoolSiC Schottky diode 1200 V portfolio by adding six devices in a D²PAK real 2-pin package. Using SMD packages, designs can be more compact and more cost-effective. Moreover, the new D²PAK real 2-pin package eliminates the middle pin to offer 4.7 mm creepage and 4.4 mm clearance distance. Compared to […]
Automotive load dump TVS devices offer best-in-class specs
The TLD5S/6S/8S Series of AEC-Q101 qualified high-power unidirectional transient voltage surge suppressors (TVS) are offered with ratings of 3.6 kW, 4.6 kW and 6.6 kW, and are ideally suited for critical load dump applications designed to protect on-board electronic devices from high voltage surges emanating from the alternator should the battery become disconnected. Offered in […]
