Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The CD1408-R11000 is a single point-contact type rectifier and has great uses in AC/DC power conversion. It is specially designed to convert AC power to DC power and can be used in a variety of applications.

Applications

The CD1408-R11000 can be used in a variety of AC/DC power conversion applications such as:

• Power supplies
• Motor control devices
• Inverters
• DC to DC converters
• Lighting and display systems
• High frequency power amplifiers

Working Principle

The CD1408-R11000 is designed to convert the alternating current waveform to direct current. It uses one anode and one cathode, which are both connected to the external current path. When the anode is positive relative to the cathode, current can pass through the external current path. When the anode and cathode are opposite in polarity, the device is forward biased, allowing current to flow through the external current path. When the anode and cathode are of the same polarity, the device is reverse biased and current is stopped from passing through it. This alternating between forward and reverse bias of the device allows for the conversion from AC to DC power.

Conclusion

The CD1408-R11000 is a single point-contact type rectifier, which has great uses in AC/DC power conversion. It can be used in a variety of applications, and the current passes through the device when there is an alternating between forward and reverse bias. Therefore, the device can successfully convert AC power to DC power.
