Diodes, also known as rectifiers, are specialized semiconductor components used in a variety of electronic circuit applications. Diodes are designed to control the direction of electric current, allowing current to flow only in one direction. As their name suggests, single diodes are composed of a single device. More often than not, single diodes are used to detect and rectify alternating currents (AC) into direct currents (DC), or to act as a rectifying element for AC signals, often seen in other applications where AC signals are used. In this article, we will discuss one type of single diode, an ES1DLHM2G, and its typical application field, as well as its principles of operation.

Overview of ES1DLHM2G

The ES1DLHM2G is a single diode specifically developed to provide a low forward voltage drop. It is made of a proprietary low-temperature-coefficient alloy, which helps to guarantee a low voltage drop when operated in avalanche or reverse bias conditions. The device is available in TO-92, DO-214AC and SOIC packages, and its typical operating voltage is in the range of 20V to 80V. When operated at temperatures between -55°C to +150°C, the device offers good stability.

Typical Application Fields

The ES1DLHM2G is an excellent choice for applications such as phase control, power conversion and switching, lighting control and power switching, snubber circuits, voltage rectification, and AC/DC current monitoring. It finds particular use in harsh environment applications where a low reverse leakage current is essential, such as automotive and industry, where a reliable device with long life is a must.

Working Principle

Diodes are p-n junction devices, meaning that two different types of materials are fused together in order to form the device. This is accomplished by creating two regions at the junction with different doping concentrations. Normally, the p-type material is heavily doped with donors, while the n-type material is doped with acceptors. Due to the different chemical properties of the two materials, a built-in potential difference, or depletion region, is established at the junction.

When a single diode is forward biased, free electrons from the n-type material can cross the junction and combine with the positively charged donor atoms in the p-type material. As a result, the device allows current to flow. Conversely, when the device is reverse biased, a blocking effect occurs. Because the built-in potential of the depletion region is greater than the applied voltage, current can no longer flow, and the device essentially blocks the current.

The ES1DLHM2G is a specialized diode designed to minimize the forward voltage drop. The low-temperature coefficient alloy from which it is made helps to guarantee a low voltage drop across a wide temperature range, making it an ideal choice for many different applications.
