C4D20120D

The C4D20120D is widely used for a variety of applications in the diode, rectifier and arrays fields. This diode is an rectifier diode based on ultra-fast tunneling, low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current characteristics and is suitable for use in rectifying circuits, peak and voltaic clamping circuits and motor rectification applications.

The working principle of the C4D20120D consists in the construction of the device. It has a silicon substrate, containing two diffusion layers and two P+ regions within the substrate. This design enables the device to rectify electrical energy that contains both current and voltage, by selectively allowing either one to pass through the diode dependent on the polarity of the voltage applied to it. The resistance of the diode at a reverse bias is very high and the reverse current is small; usually of a few micro-amps.

The C4D20120D allows large amounts of current when biased in one direction and offers a small forward voltage drop and extremely low reverse current leakage. This makes it ideal for applications where high speed and low losses in the diode are desired. Additionally, the diode does not require a large physical size, allowing for easier and more efficient integration into designs. When used in arrays, it is possible to mount several diodes onto a single substrate, enabling a reduction in physical size and cost of the integrated circuit.

When specifically applied to motor rectification applications, this diode offers extremely fast switching characteristics, low voltage drops and high current ratings. This allows for efficient power delivery to the motor, maximising power conversion efficiency and minimising energy losses in the diode. The very low reverse leakage current also minimises energy losses, as well as reducing stress on the rectification components which can have an adverse effect on the motor\'s performance over time.

In summary, the C4D20120D is a versatile cell used in the field of rectifiers, diodes and arrays, allowing for efficient power conversion and easy integration into design. It offers a low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage current and extremely fast switching speeds, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications.
