CDBM140-G

Diodes can be broadly classified into two types: rectifier and semiconductor. A rectifier is a two-terminal device which conducts current in only one direction. This type of device is used to convert AC voltage to DC voltage, which is a form of electrical energy known as direct current (DC).

A single diode is a two terminal device, which conducts current in either direction. The type of device is known as a “single diode.” Single diode rectifiers are often used in low voltage AC/DC circuits, where they are used to reduce ripple in the output DC voltage. Common uses of single diode rectifiers in AC/DC circuits include power rectification, voltage regulation, and voltage control.

The CDBM140-G is a type of single diode rectifier, which utilizes a PN junction diode. The device is able to withstand maximum reverse voltage of 140 Volts and currently has a junction temperature rating up to 150 degrees Celsius. It has a low forward voltage drop of 0.75 volts and an On-State capacitance of 40 pF at an no current flow. The device utilizes a planar-diffused PN junction, which is suitable for most applications where low voltage drop and minimal reverse leakage is required. The CDBM140-G device is able to provide a current rating of up to 1 Amp, making it suitable for many applications including power conversion, DC-DC converters and pulse rectification.

The working principle of the CDBM140-G is quite simple. When forward biased, the junction diode allows current to flow in one direction, while blocking current in the opposite direction. When in reverse bias, the diode blocks current in both directions. This allows the device to be used to convert alternating current (AC), which changes direction, to direct current (DC), which passes in only one direction. The diode also helps to reduce ripple in the output DC voltage and prevents spikes which can cause damage to other electrical components.

The CDBM140-G is a useful device for many AC/DC applications, where it can be utilized for power conversion and rectification. The device is able to withstand a maximum reverse voltage of 140V and is able to provide a current rating of up to 1 Amp. The low forward voltage drop of 0.75V and the On-State capacitance of 40 pF make the device suitable for many applications. This makes the CDBM140-G a popular choice for low voltage AC/DC circuits, where it is used to reduce ripple and control spikes.
