FERD30H100SH Datasheet/PDFA single diode rectifier such as the FERD30H100SH is a type of electronic device which allows unidirectional flow of current from an AC source. It is built around a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and is used to control and regulate the voltage across a load. Single diode rectifiers are widely used in power electronics applications to rectify AC power to DC power for a variety of commercial and industrial uses.
The FERD30H100SH application field
The FERD30H100SH is a fast-recovery, full-wave rectifier package, scientifically designed for applications in the Industrial Switching Power Supplies and power full-bridge topologies. It is an ideal choice for AC to DC power conversion in telecom, automotive, automotive, computer and gaming applications as well as solar power installations. With its fast reverse recovery time, the FERD30H100SH provides greater operating efficiency than standard rectifier diodes for fast charging and discharging performance of power switching applications.
Additionally, its low forward voltage drop (VF) provides high efficiency power conversion in various power switching configurations and its fast reverse recovery time of 16ns provides excellent performance in switching applications.
The Working Principle of FERD30H100SH
The FERD30H100SH is composed of an inbuilt silicon diode that blocks backward current flow with a reverse voltage blocking capability of up to 1000V. During the forward conduction cycle, the rectifier conducts current when the anode voltage is higher than the cathode voltage. Once the current has reached its peak, the diode then blocks any voltage higher than the peak which prevents reverse current flow.
In order to make the conversion from AC to DC power more efficient, the FERD30H100SH is designed with a fast recovery time of 16ns. This means that the rectifier is able to quickly cut off the reverse current output and quickly cut the forward current output when the anode and cathode voltages are close to each other.
Furthermore, its low forward voltage drop (VF) allows for higher efficiency power conversion as the device is able to rapidly switch from one state to the other as the anode and cathode voltages change.
Conclusion
The FERD30H100SH is a single-diode, fast-recovery full-wave rectifier package specifically designed for applications in Industrial Switching Power Supplies and power full-bridge topologies. It is suitable for applications in the telecom, automotive, computer and gaming industries and its fast recovery time, low forward voltage drop, and peak blocking voltage of 1000V provides greater efficiency and reliability than most other rectifiers.
