Diodes are important components in electric circuits, and their different types have quite varied applications. The single diode is one of the most widely used active components. The APD260VG-G1 is an example of a single diode.

APD260VG-G1 is a Schottky Rectifier Diode, with a VRRM of 260V and a Cj of 1.1pF. It is able to handle up to 12A Peak Pulse Current. The device has a single PIN cathode, and a leadless SMD package for easy placement and removal in high-density circuit boards. In terms of electric characteristics, the diode has a low reverse recovery time, and a low forward voltage drop, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications.

Application Field of APD260VG-G1

APD260VG-G1 is perfectly suited for power supplies, as it presents a small reverse recovery time. This device can be used with USB ports, MOSFsets and DC/DC converters. Additionally, thanks to its leadless package, APD260VG-G1 can be used in high-density circuit boards, such as telecom, automotive and industrial applications. Furthermore, the device is perfect for use in AC/DC adapters and adaptors with universal input sources.

Working Principle of APD260VG-G1

APD260VG-G1 is composed of a PN junction that functions as a diode. This diode passively conducts electricity in only one direction, and resists currents flowing in the opposite direction. The diode also has a forward voltage, which is the lower voltage needed for the device to function properly.

When a direct current voltage is applied, the negative terminal of this possibility will be the anode, and the positive the cathode. Now, as electricity flows through such a PN junction, it will be only able to go through the PN junction if there is more potential differences between the anode and the cathode. This is known as the diode\'s forward voltage.

When the reverse voltage is applied, the anode will become positive, and the cathode negative. This type of configuration will block the current from going through the diode and the only kind of current passing through the diode at this point is called the leakage current. Thus, the device becomes a perfect rectifier, as it can convert ac current into dc current.
