The HERF1008GA C0G ceramic surface mount rectifier array is a wide use, stable and easy to use component, whose application fields and working principles are widely known and accepted in the field of electronics. It is commonly used to provide protection against over current in order to prevent circuit damages or malfunctions. This article will focus on the application field and the working principle of the HERF1008GA C0G rectifier array.

Application Field

The HERF1008GA C0G rectifier array is mainly used in DC-DC power converters, AC-DC power supplies, battery discharge current, DC motor control, and other DC-related applications. This component is also used in areas where high power, high efficiency and large current capacity is desired while maintaining power dissipation, e.g. in medical, automotive and consumer electronics. Besides, these rectifier arrays are used in complex electronic systems, such as down converters and motor controllers, for gaining full control of voltage and current. The high quality of the cells and their characteristics allow for the device to be used in many areas where reliability and precision is key.

Working Principle

The HERF1008GA C0G rectifier array consists of two independent sets of four Schottky diodes in each package. Each diode is fabricated from carbon-doped zinc oxides with a Nickel barrier. This construction method allows for a low forward voltage drop and a fast reverse recovery time. When voltage is applied to the rectifier array, the current flows in the forward direction but only half of the total applied voltage is seen across the rectifier array. This is an example of what is called Half Wave rectification, which works by using a diode to pass current in a single direction, while blocking the flow in the opposite direction. This way only the positive part of the cycle is passed, effectively reducing the voltage. The same principle applies to the majority of rectifier arrays.

In order to increase the output current, additional rectifier arrays can be paralleled. This enables the effective current capacity of the device to be doubled, while the output voltage remains unaffected. The HERF1008GA C0G ceramic surface mount rectifier array is rated for up to 8 amps of continuous current, which makes it suitable for applications where low voltage and relatively high current output is desirable. With the device being made of ceramic, it also exhibits excellent thermal characteristics, offeringIncreased reliability and extended circuit life, even under high temperature operation.

Conclusion

The HERF1008GA C0G rectifier array is a versatile and reliable device that is suitable for all kind of DC power related applications. It can be used to provide protection against over current and ensures long-term reliability and high performance. With its low forward voltage drop, fast reverse recovery time, high thermal conductivity, and high current rating, it is a suitable device for many scenarios where lower voltage and high current is desired.
