CDBM160-HF

The CDBM160-HF is a single diode rectifier manufactured by IXYS Corporation. It is designed to provide an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution for high-frequency power conversion. The CDBM160-HF has a wide application field, primarily in industrial applications with high switching frequencies. Its excellent thermal characteristics ensure stable operation even in extreme high-temperature conditions. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the CDBM160-HF.

Application Field:
The CDBM160-HF is primarily used in industrial power conversion applications with high switching frequencies. It is a popular choice for high-frequency DC-DC converters, high-efficiency and high-temperature power supplies, and rectifiers for AC and DC loads. The device is also widely used for soft-start and control applications, especially in applications with high power levels, high frequencies, and extreme temperatures.

Working Principle:
The CDBM160-HF is a single diode rectifier, built on a monolithically integrated circuit. Its working principle is based on the interaction between the external voltage source (input voltage) and the internal rectifier diode (also called a junction diode). When the external voltage source is applied to the terminal of the device, a forward-biased diode is formed, allowing electrical current to flow through the device. This current is then rectified and passed through the device, providing power to the load connected to the output terminal.

The device includes a variety of important features, including an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C and an isolation voltage up to 3kV. It has excellent thermal characteristics, which ensure reliable operation even in high temperature (<200°C) applications, and is capable of handling extremely high duty cycles. It also has a fast switching speed, allowing it to operate at high frequencies, and has a low forward voltage drop.

The CDBM160-HF also offers excellent surge current capability and EMI filtering, making it suitable for high-frequency, high-reliability applications. The device is rated for a maximum reverse leakage current of 16mA, and its insulation resistance is 105MHz.

Overall, the CDBM160-HF is a reliable and cost-effective single diode rectifier, with a wide application field in industrial applications with high switching frequencies. With its excellent thermal characteristics and fast switching speed, it is capable of providing efficient and reliable power conversion, even in extreme conditions.
