Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays: 83CNQ100 application field and working principle

The 83CNQ100 is a quickly-recovering rectifier diode that is characterized by its blocking voltage of 800V. It is mainly used in general purpose switching, grounding and clamping circuits to provide a high energy surge. The device is popular in various industrial electronic systems due to its rugged construction, temperature stability and low leakage current.

The 83CNQ100 is a three-terminal component with an anode, cathode and gate terminal. The anode is the most positive of the three terminals while the cathode is the most negative. The gate terminal is used to control the current flow through the device. The three terminals are connected internally in a series. The device works by providing a current path between the two electrodes for specific applications. When a voltage is applied across the device, the anode becomes less positive than the cathode and electrons flow from the cathode to the anode. This current flow can be controlled and regulated through the gate terminal.

The 83CNQ100 is mainly used in applications where a fast switching and protection is needed. For instance, it is used in power supplies, motor drives, automotives, medical systems and a variety of other industrial electronic circuits. It is also popular in ac and dc motor drives, which require frequent on/off switching of currents with high surge protection. The device can also be used as a low power backup component, as it is able to hold a current even when the power source is turned off.

The working principle of the 83CNQ100 is based on the PN junction or the diode. The device consists of a P-type semiconductor material and an N-type semiconductor material, which are connected together in a series. When the anode of the device is connected to a positive voltage, electrons are attracted from the negative terminal or the cathode side to the positive or the anode side. The electrons from the cathode side fill the holes on the anode side and create a barrier. Electrons from the anode side are unable to move to the cathode side because of the barrier. Thus, current flow can only take place from the cathode side to the anode side.

The 83CNQ100 is a rugged, quick-recovering rectifier diode that is used for different switching and protection applications. It is mainly used in power supplies, motor drives, automotive systems, and various industrial electronic circuits. It works by providing a current path between the two electrodes and can be controlled through the gate terminal. The device is characterized by its blocking voltage of 800V and low leakage current.
