The IRKC236/16 is a type of bidirectional diode rectifier array, designed for linear and swiching power supplies. This kind of diode array integrates four high-performance bidirectional diodes into a single 4-pin package. It is used to convert DC power into an AC power. The IRKC236/16 is an efficient and compact way to reduce the energy consumption and size of products, while maintaining the highest possible performance.

Benefits of Using IRKC236/16

One of the main benefits of using the IRKC236/16 diode array is its ability to convert DC power into an AC power with a maximum reverse voltage of 250V and peak forward current of 6A. The highest efficiency of this device is up to 96%. This feature allows for higher power transmission and makes it a suitable option for high-power linear and switching power supplies. The IRKC236/16 rectifier array also provides fast switching, low voltage leakage, low thermal resistance,and low output noise, which makes it a great choice for applications requiring high-frequency operation such as DC-DC converters. Moreover, its design helps to reduce the number of external components, which dramatically reduces the total cost of the system.

Applications of IRKC236/16

The IRKC236/16 rectifier array is used in various applications such as AC/DC converters, DC/DC converters, switching mode power supplies, and motor control systems. By using this device, the size and weight of the entire system can be reduced, while still maintaining high efficiency and performance. This makes the device suitable for a wide range of applications such as consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment. Furthermore, the device offers high resistance to ESD and other electrical transients making it suitable for harsh environment applications.

Working Principle of IRKC236/16

The IRKC236/16 rectifier array is a bidirectional diode array that functions as a switch. It is composed of four independent high-performance diodes connected in series. When the device is in use and the forward voltage reaches the threshold, the rectifying diode will turn on, allowing current to flow through the device. When the voltage passes the threshold turn-off voltage, the rectifying diode will turn off, which stops the current flow. The turn-on voltage of the device is set at 0.95V and the turn-off voltage is set at 0.7V. This feature allows for fast switching and high current operation.
