AR3PM-M3/86A Discrete Semiconductor Products

The AR3PM-M3/86A is a high-speed rectifier diode and is classified as a single rectifier type. The component has several application fields, and its working principle further defines how the diode functions.

Application fields

The AR3PM-M3/86A is used in a wide variety of applications. It is especially used in power electronics, where it works on frequencies of up to 25kHz and forward currents of up to 5A peak. This makes the diode suitable for PFC topologies, solar inverters, Buck and Boost circuits, high-power LED applications, motor drives, HVAC systems, power supplies and automotive electronics.

The AR3PM-M3/86A also features very low leakage and reverse recovery time, making it suitable for use in high-voltage power supplies, DC-DC converters, synchronous rectifiers, and any other application where switching losses need to be kept to a minimum.

Working Principle

The AR3PM-M3/86A works by allowing current to flow in one direction, while blocking current in the opposite direction. This principle of operation allows the diode to act as a switch, and it is the basis of all rectification systems.

During the forward conduction phase, the diode allows current to pass through it, and the voltage drop across the component is minimal. During the reverse conduction phase, the diode blocks the current, and the voltage drop across the component is much higher.

The AR3PM-M3/86A is a fast-switching rectifier diode, which means that it can switch from the forward to the reverse conduction state very quickly. This allows the component to be used in applications where switching losses need to be minimized.

Conclusion

The AR3PM-M3/86A is a fast-switching rectifier diode which is classified as a single rectifier type. It is used in a variety of applications, including power electronics, where it can work at frequencies up to 25kHz and forward currents up to 5A peak. The component also features very low leakage and reverse recovery time, making it suitable for use in high-voltage power supplies, DC-DC converters, and other switching application.
