DF1504ST-G

Introduction

The DF1504ST-G belongs to the family of diodes - bridge rectifiers (BRs). It allows DC current to flow in one direction while blocking its reverse direction flow, also known as rectification. This device is made of four individual Schottky diodes in a bridge configuration allowing one-way current flow.

Application Field

The DF1504ST-G is an industry-standard stacked BR, suitable for a wide range of applications. It is particularly suitable for power electronics circuits with applications from 50Hz to 400kHz. This BR is also used for board level power applications with relatively low voltage and high current switching and power losses. Some typical application areas for this device include residential and commercial products, automotive industry, consumer electronics, renewable energy systems and motor drives.

The DF1504ST-G has a good surge current capability, temperature coefficient and ESD protection level. This is why it is suitable for applications needing high speed switching and high capacitive loads. In addition, the low internal resistance of this device means it can be used in high frequency, high current power circuits. It has also found applications in television switching power supplies, SMPS and in solar energy converters.

Working Principle

The DF1504ST-G works on the same principle as other bridge rectifiers. It is made of four individual Schottky diodes in a bridge configuration. Each diode acts as a one-way check valve. This is because when the negative terminal of a diode is negative with respect to its positive terminal, it becomes open and allows current to flow, while when the negative terminal of the diode is positive with respect to its positive terminal it is closed and prevents further current flow. Thus, this device works by allowing the current to flow in one direction while blocking the flow of current in the reverse direction.

The DF1504ST-G is suitable for a variety of power applications, including AC-to-DC conversion, DC-to-DC conversion, and DC-to-AC conversion. It is also used in power electronics circuits such as high-frequency switching, high capacitive loads and solar energy converters.

Conclusion

The DF1504ST-G bridge rectifier is a versatile device that is suitable for a variety of power applications. It is made up of four individual Schottky diodes in a bridge configuration, which allows one-way current flow. This BR is widely used in power electronics circuits and applications from 50Hz to 400kHz. It has a good surge current capability, temperature coefficient and ESD protection level, as well as low internal resistance, which makes it suitable for applications requiring high speed switching, high capacitive loads and solar energy converters.
