GL34J-TP Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The GL34J-TP is a single rectifier diode. It is an ideal-rectifier diode and is used for applications such as power rectification, motor control, line regulation, switching power supplies, switching power amplifiers, and other high frequency applications. It has a forward voltage drop of 0.8 V typical and an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C.

Applications

The GL34J-TP is commonly used in high power rectification applications in the automotive, industrial and communication markets. It is suitable for the high input voltage and high current circuits, as it is able to withstand a current up to 8A and a high peak voltage of 400V. Typical applications include invertors, motor drives, SMPS, Buck and Step-down converters, and Linear post-regulators.

Working Principle

The GL34J-TP is a single rectifier type of diode and is operated on a single polarity. It is an ideal diode which conducts when the applied voltage is of the correct polarity and it will block the current when the voltage is at reverse polarity. Due to its ideal-diode operation, the GL34J-TP has a forward voltage drop that is relatively low compared to its forward conduction current. A higher forward voltage drop will result in higher power dissipation.

Conclusion

The GL34J-TP is a single rectifier diode that can be used for a wide range of applications, such as power rectification, motor control, line regulation, switching power supplies, switching power amplifiers, and other high frequency applications. It is capable of withstanding high input voltages and currents, making it highly suitable for these types of applications. The working principle of the GL34J-TP is based on its single rectifier operation, as it is an ideal diode and conducts when the applied voltage is of the correct polarity, and it will block the current when the voltage is at reverse polarity.
