Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays are used in a variety of applications, ranging from electrical power conversion to communications systems to automotive applications. The 87CNQ020SL is one such device, used for high-performance rectification. Understanding how it works and its application field will allow engineers and system designers to make the most of this device.

Overview

The 87CNQ020SL is a high-performance, high-voltage rectifier module designed for high-speed rectification in a variety of applications. It consists of four 2.0A Schottky barrier rectifying diodes (SBDs) in a common-anode configuration. Each diode is rated for up to 20V reverse (blocking) voltage, allowing for high-performance rectification in a variety of applications. The device is housed in a SMD 16-pin package, allowing for easy placement and assembly.

Application Fields

The 87CNQ020SL has a wide range of applications, ranging from automotive electronics to home and industrial electrical systems. Its high current carrying capacity and wide reverse voltage rangemake it suitable for application in power conversion, solar power, battery charging, and AC-DC converters.

Due to the wide range of reverse voltage, the device is well-suited for high-performance, high frequency rectification. It is also commonly used in communications systems, such as fiber optics and mobile communications, for efficient signal transmission.

The robust design and high-voltage operation of the 87CNQ020SL make it an ideal choice for automotive applications, such as alternator regulation, headlight control and battery charging. The device is also suitable for powering 12V automotive electronics.

Working Principle

The 87CNQ020SL works on the principle of switching between two opposite states. In one state, the SBDs are switched on and allow current to flow in one direction; in the other state, the SBDs are off and no current can flow. This allows for efficient rectification of an alternating current, with minimal power losses.

When the device is placed in the circuit, an incoming alternating current passes through the device, switching between the two states. In the "on" or conducting state, current passes through the diode, allowing for positive rectification; in the "off" state, no current is allowed, resulting in a "negative" voltage output. This allows for a rectified version of the incoming alternating current, suitable for use in a variety of applications.

Conclusion

The 87CNQ020SL is a high-performance rectifier module suitable for a wide range of applications. Understanding its principle and application field will allow engineers and designers to make the most of this device, using it to efficiently rectify an alternating current and power various applications.
