Application Field

The 16CTQ080STRR is commonly used in laptop and desktop computers, LCD presentations, automotive applications, and other electronic devices. The device is well suited for power applications such as battery charger applications, DC/DC converters, solar cell applications, and switching regulators. Due to its low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage, and low capacitance, the 16CTQ080STRR is suitable for applications that require maximum efficiency, require high reliability, and require operational temperatures up to +125°C.

Working Principles

The 16CTQ080STRR is a Schottky rectifier array with a nominal reverse voltage (VR) of 80 V and a maximum forward current (IF) of 3 A. The reverse voltage of the device is the voltage at which it will break down and begin to pass current. It is highly temperature-dependent, and can reach as high as 150 V for a junction temperature of +125°C. The breakdown voltage is decreased by increasing the reverse current, temperature or junction area. The forward voltage drop of the 16CTQ080STRR is low, resulting in high efficiency and a minimized power loss. Additionally, the high forward surge capability of the device ensures reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

The device has a low capacitance, which increases performance and reduces power losses in power applications. Furthermore, the 16CTQ080STRR has a low reverse current leakage, which is desirable in applications where a precise amount of current is to be passed. The low leakage current and high junction temperature enable the device to maintain a constant forward voltage drop in a wide range of temperatures.

The 16CTQ080STRR provides improved thermal and electrical performance due to its small SOT-23 package size. The small package size reduces power loss by limiting power density. The improved thermal performance decreases power dissipation and increases the reliability of the device.
