AZ23C16 RFG

The AZ23C16 RFG diode array is a fast switching, dual-channel, unidirectional, low-voltage, high-current rectifier specially developed for higher applications. It is well suited for use in high speed, medium-power applications, such as synchronous rectification for automotive lighting, light-wave communication, high-precision motor control, and power rectification for power systems.

Working Principle

The AZ23C16 RFG diode array is composed of two Schottky barrier diodes connected in series, making it an ideal device for high current rectification as each diode can conduct up to 2 A of peak forward current. The series connection helps to reduce the forward voltage drop of the diodes, resulting in a lower power loss. The dual channel architecture also helps the device to achieve high speed switching with low input capacitance, ideal for high speed designs.

Application Field

The AZ23C16 RFG diode array can be used in a wide range of high current applications. It is suitable for low voltage, high power applications, such as synchronous rectification for automotive lighting, light-wave communication, high-precision motor control, and power rectification for power systems. It can also be used in other applications where a fast diode array with low losses and a low forward voltage drop is required.

The AZ23C16 RFG diode array is also suitable for use in high frequency applications such as RF power supplies and converters. Its low series resistance and fast switching times, combined with its low variable forward voltage drop make it an ideal choice for these applications.

The AZ23C16 RFG diode array is available in various packages and ratings. Its versatile design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive and industrial to consumer, communications, and medical applications. The AZ23C16 RFG diode array is also RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in green applications.
