163CNQ100

163CNQ100 application field and working principle

163CNQ100 is a rectifier bridge module which has a 4 pin package and current rating of upto 100A. It is a type of fast recovery rectifier bridge module often used in industrial applications such as welding, automated production line and drives. The 163CNQ100 can be used as a simple rectifier, but also offers the end user optically isolated functionality and low loss switch-on idle diode.

The 163CNQ100 consists of four ultrafast rectifier diodes which all have a series connection and two diodes in parallel, forming two bridges in total. As an output, the resultant is two positive and two negative types. This feature is similar to a single diode bridge rectifier, however the multiple diodes give the 163CNQ100 a higher current capacity and frequency performance which leads to better noise immunity.

The reason the 163CNQ100 is often chosen in industrial applications is because it’s a fast recovery device. The fast recovery feature of the 63CNQ100 decreases voltage losses when used in quick switching applications. It also reduces the occurrence of voltage spikes, which can be an issue when multiple diodes are used in series.

The 163CNQ100 is a great choice for industrial applications because it has a low forward voltage drop and a high guard ring diode, which helps to protect the device from high voltages. This feature also protects the device from any stray electromagnetic fields that may be emitted by other connected components.

The 163CNQ100 is designed to work with a power supply voltage up to 100 volts DC. It has a typical switching speed of 25 nano seconds. This makes it useful for applications that need a fast recovery such as power supplies and motor controllers. The 163CNQ100 also provides optically isolated operation for added protection.

In conclusion, the 163CNQ100 is a rectifier bridge module that offers various benefits when used in industrial applications. Its fast recovery, low forward voltage drop and high guard ring diode make it a great solution for applications that require quick switching and protection from high voltages.
