Diodes - Rectifiers - Single
The EGF1DHE3/67A is a state-of-the-art advanced rectifier diode, also known as a single diode. It is extremely versatile and can be utilized in a wide range of applications and in numerous electronic devices.
Overview
This diode is a reverse break diode, meaning that it is capable of conducting current in both directions, allowing for the conduction of negative current in situations where this is beneficial. It is specifically designed for pulse and switching applications, which are where it is used most often, and has a fast switching speed and a wide operating temperature range.
The EGF1DHE3/67A has a reverse blocking voltage of 67V and a forward current rating of up to 1A, allowing for higher voltage and current applications than many other single diodes. It also features a low-on-state voltage of 620mV, ensuring energy efficiency, and a low reverse leakage current of 1µA. Its low profile makes it particularly suitable for applications with space constraints.
Application Fields
The EGF1DHE3/67A is often used in applications that require quick response to changing current, such as in switching regulators, DC-DC converters and inverters. It is also widely used in door safety systems and chargers thanks to its fast switching speed, and in consumer and automotive electronics because of its low profile and wide operating temperature range.
The EGF1DHE3/67A is also commonly used in medical applications that require quick response to changing current, such as medical imaging, robot surgery machines and ventilators. In addition, it is commonly used in LED lighting, LED displays and computer displays.
Working Principle
The EGF1DHE3/67A works on a basic principle. When forward voltage is applied, it will conduct current in one direction. When reverse voltage is applied, it will block current in the other direction. This makes the switching process much simpler than with other types of diodes.
The EGF1DHE3/67A uses a low-on-state voltage, which allows it to reduce energy consumption in the circuit. The low-on-state voltage is also helpful in reducing the power requirements of the circuit, leading to smaller and more efficient electronic designs.
The EGF1DHE3/67A also features a fast switching speed, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. This fast switching speed allows for better response times in the circuit, thereby making it more efficient.
Conclusion
The EGF1DHE3/67A is a modern, advanced rectifier diode that is especially suited for applications that require a low-on-state voltage, fast switching speed, and a wide operating temperature range. It is widely used in door safety systems and chargers, consumer and automotive electronics, medical applications, LED lighting and displays, as well as in switching regulators, DC-DC converters, inverters and other high-frequency applications.
