Working Principle

The FST16230D is a full-bridge rectifier array that offers efficient power conversion. It utilizes two sets of floating two-terminal rectifiers, each set comprising of two diodes. The diodes are arranged in a stacked configuration, with one diode pointing in the forward direction, and the other pointed in the reverse direction. This allows for the simultaneous control and conversion of both alternating and direct current.

To control and convert the currents, an external source of voltage, such as a transformer, is connected to a set of transformers that then controls both sets of floating diodes. This provides control over the current flow, allowing for the efficient utilization of the energy. The FST16023D utilizes the Faraday principle to achieve efficient conversion, with the voltage being pulled from one direction, and the current being pulled from the direction opposite of the voltage.

Conclusion

The FST16230D offers a wide range of application potential in industries such as automotive, consumer, and industrial applications. Its full-bridge rectifier array provides high-current rectification, with efficient conversion of power. Additionally, the FST16230D utilizes the Faraday principle to continuously control and convert both alternating and direct current efficiently, making it an ideal solution for power conversion applications.
