HSM880JE3/TR13

Introduction

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current in one direction and blocks current in the opposite direction. Diodes are commonly used for power rectification and signal clamping applications. Among these diodes, single rectifiers, such as the HSM880JE3/TR13, have a variety of applications in the power-supply, consumer, and telecommunications fields. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the HSM880JE3/TR13.

Application Field

The HSM880JE3/TR13 is a single high-power Schottky diode, specifically designed for applications where a high power handling capability, low forward voltage drop and low leakage current are required. It is typically used in power supplies, consumer products, and for telecommunications applications, including cellular phones, modems, and signal-processing devices. Its high power-handling capability and low forward voltage drop make it an ideal choice for applications where efficiency and low power losses are paramount.

Working Principle

The HSM880JE3/TR13 is a high-speed rectifier diode, working by the principle of rectification. It is capable of controlling the flow of current in one direction and blocking it in the opposite direction. The schematic symbol for a rectifier diode looks like an arrowhead and this symbol is used to indicate the direction of current flow in the diode. When a rectifier diode is forward-biased, current will begin to flow in the direction of the arrowhead and the diode will begin to conduct; if the diode is reverse-biased, current will not flow in the opposite direction and the diode will remain non-conductive.

The HSM880JE3/TR13 is particularly useful for applications in which high power dissipation and low forward voltage drop are required. Its low forward voltage drop and high power dissipating capability make the HSM880JE3/TR13 an ideal choice for applications in which efficiency and low power losses are paramount. It also features a built-in temperature sensor, allowing it to self-regulate its current and voltage depending on the temperature surrounding it.

Conclusion

The HSM880JE3/TR13 is a single rectifier diode, designed for applications where high power handling capability, low forward voltage drop and low temperature sensitivity are required. It is capable of conducting current in one direction while blocking the flow of current in the opposite direction, making it suitable for power rectification and signal clamping. Its applications include power supplies, consumer electronics, cell phones and other telecommunications products. It features a built-in temperature sensor and a low forward voltage drop, making it an ideal choice for applications where efficiency and low power losses are of paramount importance.
