FFSD1065A Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes are electrical components that act as one-way valves for electric current. When the voltage at the anode of the diode is higher than the voltage at the cathode, the diode permits current to pass – an “on” state. When the voltage at the anode is lower than that of the cathode, current does not pass – an “off” state. Rectifier diodes, also known as rectifiers, are specialized diodes used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Single rectifier diodes, such as the FFSD1065A, are diodes commonly used for DC power applications.

FFSD1065A Overview

The FFSD1065A is an ultrafast (high-frequency response) single Schottky rectifier diode rated for 650 volts, 10 amps. It is available in a surface-mount package and other lead-mount packages. This diode is a good choice when it comes to applications which require fast switching times, such as high-frequency switching power supplies and telecom rectifier applications. Due to its low VF, the FFSD1065A is also able to reduce conduction losses and switching stress at higher switching speeds.

FFSD1065A Application Fields

The FFSD1065A is suitable for use in many applications, ranging from telecommunication rectifier applications to general-purpose power rectifier diodes. These diodes can be used in a variety of DC power applications, such as in low-power voltage regulation circuits, high-frequency switching power supplies, dc-dc converters and other power switching applications. The FFSD1065A is designed for operation in low-power non-isolated switched-mode power supplies, DC motor speed controls and RF switching circuits. It is also suitable for applications in solar cells, sustainable energy generation and super capacitors. The FFSD1065A is compliant with the RoHS standards.

FFSD1065A Working Principle

The FFSD1065A is a two-terminal device which restricts current flow to a single direction. It uses Schottky diodes which are formed by the fusion of two semiconductor materials of different types. This diode is made up of a metal or heavily-doped semiconductor (anode) and a lightly-doped semiconductor (cathode). When a voltage is applied to the anode, electrons move from the cathode to the anode and current is allowed to pass from the cathode to the anode. The FFSD1065A is an ultrafast rectifier diode, which means that it can switch on and off in a fraction of the time required by other types of diodes.

Conclusion

The FFSD1065A diode is a single-phase fast recovery Schottky diode. It is rated for 10 amps at a voltage of up to 650 volts, and is suitable for a variety of switching power supply applications. Its fast switching speed and low VF make it an ideal choice for high-frequency switching power supplies, telecom rectifier applications and other power switching applications. It is RoHS compliant and is available in a variety of packages.
