Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. A diode array is a type of diode consisting of multiple semiconductor diodes connected in an integrated circuit (IC) package. The MBR20100CT-BP diode array is a popular choice used in power applications.

MBR20100CT-BP Application Field

The MBR20100CT-BP is best-suited for applications that require fast switching, low voltage drop, and low heat dissipation. It is ideal for use in power systems, motor drives, lighting applications, and other high-power applications. This diode array is also useful for reverse current protection, voltage clamping, and power factor correction.

MBR20100CT-BP Working Principle

The MBR20100CT-BP diode array is a four-terminal designed to be connected in parallel with another device. The anode is the positive terminal and is connected to the power supply, while the cathode is the negative terminal and is connected to the load. It uses a Schottky or PIN structure design with the metal barrier layer between the anode and the cathode. This barrier layer prevents the rate of reverse-current flow and its ability to act as a clamp is higher than any ordinary diode.

The MBR20100CT-BP diode has a low threshold voltage, low forward voltage drop, and low dynamic impedance. Its reverse stand-off voltage is up to 100V, which makes it suitable for high-voltage applications. Its high-frequency performance is excellent, and its surge current capability is extremely high. The device is able to withstand transient over-voltage and current, which makes it suitable for power applications.

Conclusion

The MBR20100CT-BP diode array is a versatile device that offers fast switching capability, low voltage drop and low heat dissipation. It is used in a variety of power systems, motor drives, lighting applications, reverse current protection, voltage clamping, and power factor correction. The device is able to withstand transient over-voltage and current, which makes it suitable for high-power applications.
