FEPB16ATHE3/81 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction: The FEPB16ATHE3/81 is a diode array used mainly for AC switching applications. It is a rectifier that is used in a wide variety of electronic devices and is available in a variety of packages and configurations. This article will look at the application field of the FEPB16ATHE3/81 and its working principle.

Application Field: The FEPB16ATHE3/81 is well suited for AC switching applications requiring high reverse voltage capability – up to 1000Vrms in some cases. Its major application field is in power electronics, where it can be used to drive IGBTs, MOSFETs and other power switching elements. It is also suitable for rectification in power converters, power supplies, automotive alternators and other applications that require high current and/or low voltage drop. It can also be used for protection against inrush currents, harmonic distortion and transient over-voltage conditions.

Working Principle: The FEPB16ATHE3/81 is a diode array that contains five connected diodes in a single device. The diodes are arranged so that each one is connected to an individual terminal. When current passes in one direction, the diode connected to terminal 1 will conduct and the other diodes will remain off. When current passes in the opposite direction, the diode connected to terminal 4 will conduct and the other diodes will remain off. This arrangement makes the device suitable for both Alternating Current (AC) and DC applications.

When used in an AC circuit, the FEPB16ATHE3/81 acts as a rectifier, converting Alternating Current into Direct Current. This is done by the process of reverse-bias junction clamping, where the individual diodes clamp the voltage at a certain level to reduce the number of forward and reverse cycles within the supply AC waveform. This in turn reduces harmonic distortion and improves the efficiency of the overall system. The FEPB16ATHE3/81 can also be used for parallel power mixing for applications such as motor starters and servo-drive systems.

The FEPB16ATHE3/81 is easy to use, with the individual diodes being connected directly to the components in the circuit. It is suitable for high-temperature applications, with a peak operating temperature of 150 degrees Celsius and a maximum junction temperature of 250 degrees Celsius.

Conclusion: The FEPB16ATHE3/81 diode array is a versatile and reliable device for AC switching and rectification applications. Its five connected diodes make it suitable for both AC and DC operations, and its high temperature capabilities make it ideal for use in harsh operating environments. The FEPB16ATHE3/81 is a cost-effective solution for a wide variety of applications.
