M50100CC1200

The M50100CC1200 diode rectifier array is commonly used in power supplies, battery chargers, and various other processing tasks in electronic systems. It is a three-phase half-wave self-aligned diode rectifier array designed for use in low-voltage applications, such as personal computers and other consumer electronics applications.

The M50100CC1200 has an integrated rectifier bridge consisting of six schottky barrier diodes, with a total forward voltage drop of typically 0.15V. The device can be used for both low-power, low-frequency switching and high-power rectification applications with optimum thermal performance.

Working Principle

The M50100CC1200 diode rectifier array works on a three-phase half-wave rectification principle. This means that it utilizes its six schottky barrier diodes to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) power, by passing the positive and negative peaks of the AC waveform through the appropriate diodes. The diode rectifier array provides a high degree of isolation between the AC and DC power.

The M50100CC1200 allows the alternating current to flow through the two main input terminals and causes current to alternate, then flow through each of the six diodes in the array in a cascade manner. As the positive and negative pulses of the AC waveform pass through each diode in the array, one diode will be forward biased and one will be reverse biased. The reverse bias allows for the current to flow in one direction only, essentially converting the AC waveform into DC power.

Application Field

The M50100CC1200 can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, invertors and battery chargers. It is especially useful in low-voltage, high-efficiency applications, due to its low forward voltage drop. It is also capable of providing galvanic isolation between the AC and DC power and is suitable for use in safety applications.

In power supply applications, the device can provide a significant degree of efficiency and power density. By utilizing the M50100CC1200, power drawn from the AC power source can be efficiently converted to DC power for use in downstream applications. The device can be used in positive as well as negative voltage applications, allowing even more versatility.

The M50100CC1200 can also be used in a variety of other application fields, such as in battery chargers, motor controls, and low-explosive applications. The device can also be incorporated into designs to provide efficient, low-cost rectification without sacrificing performance.

Conclusion

The M50100CC1200 diode rectifier array is an ideal choice for power supply and battery charging applications, due to its robust construction, low forward voltage drop, and ability to provide galvanic isolation between the AC and DC power. The device is also suitable for use in both positive and negative voltage applications, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. As such, the M50100CC1200 is an ideal choice for designers looking for reliable and efficient diode rectifier array solutions.
