FERD40M45CG-TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

The FERD40M45CG-TR belongs to the Diodes – Rectifiers – Arrays family. This four-level bridge rectifier array is made up of four individual Schottky diodes with a 45V maximum operating temperature. It is capable of providing a 4A forward current and a 40A maximum reverse voltage.

The FERD40M45CG-TR is a low-cost, low-power solution for applications that require a high forward current and low reverse voltage rating. It is ideal for AC-DC converters and DC-DC converters. It is also commonly used in high-power PDAs, digital cameras, high-end computing devices, and various other high-power applications.

In terms of its working principle, the bridge rectifier performs rectification by connecting the positive and negative supply lines with four equal diodes. When the AC supply is applied, the diodes will conduct in alternate directions and the current flow is unidirectional. This is how the AC voltage is converted into DC voltage.

The FERD40M45CG-TR has an impressive package. It is a 4-pin dual-in-line package (DIP) with epoxy overcoat, making it highly resistant to moisture, dust and chemical corrosion. The overcoat also helps to reduce noise interference and reflections that can affect the performance of the circuit.

In addition, the Schottky diodes used in the bridge rectifier design allows for fast switching times which is beneficial for AC-DC converters and DC-DC converters as well as for DC motor applications. The low power loss design of the FERD40M45CG-TR ensures high efficiency in operations.

The FERD40M45CG-TR is able to handle a wide variety of power requirements. It can be used in both linear and switching power supplies, allowing for a more efficient and accurate system design. It also features an overvoltage protection circuit to protect against excess current and voltage.

The FERD40M45CG-TR is an excellent solution for any application requiring a high current and low reverse voltage. With its high efficiency and reliable performance, it is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, such as AC-DC converters, DC-DC converters, and DC motor applications.
