Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The MBR1090 is an axial-lead-package Schottky barrier diode with a silicon epi-layer. This diode is designed to provide a fast switching action with low forward-voltage drop, while providing high input impedance and minimal reverse leakage currents. The low forward voltage drop of the MBR1090 is beneficial in AC/DC applications, enabling the device to minimize power dissipation. It is ideal for use with high-frequency full-wave rectification and other applications where minimal voltage drop is advantageous.

Application Field

The low forward voltage drop of the MBR1090 makes it suitable for use in many different types of applications. It can be used for full-wave rectification in high-frequency AC/DC converters, as a temperature control in LEDs, and for high-frequency switching. The MBR1090 is particularly suitable for DC/DC converters, audio amplifiers, and power switching applications. Additionally, the MBR1090 can be used to replace conventional rectifiers in certain applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MBR1090 is based on the Schottky barrier. The Schottky barrier is the potential barrier that is created when a metallic contact is made to a semiconductor. When a voltage is applied to the Schottky barrier, electrons flow from the metal side of the junction to the semiconductor side. This creates a low forward voltage drop and a high input impedance at the junction. The low forward voltage drop enables the MBR1090 to minimize power dissipation and increases efficiency in AC/DC applications.

At the same time, the high input impedance of the MBR1090 produces a minimal reverse leakage current. This allows the MBR1090 to be used in applications that require minimal reverse leakage. Additionally, the MBR1090 is capable of switching at very high frequencies, making it ideal for high-frequency applications.
