MBR40035CTR

Diodes are fundamental semiconductor devices used to control the flow of electric current. Rectifiers are diodes designed to convert AC voltage to DC voltage. An Array is an arrangement of diodes that are connected together to form a single circuit or device. The MBR40035CTR is an array of a Schottky rectifier diodes, specifically designed for use as a compact switch mode power supply (SMPS) rectifier for medium power applications.

Applications

These rectifiers are often used in power topologies such as forward converters, flyback converters and DC-DC converters. The main features of the MBR40035CTR are high surge reverse current capability, low forward voltage drop, and high peak surge current. These features make the MBR40035CTR well suited for voltage regulation and voltage-tracking designs.

The MBR40035CTR has also been used in automotive batteries and as protection elements in power circuits. It is also used in portable audio equipment, cellular phones, and regulated DC-DC converters.

Working Principle

The MBR40035CTR is a voltage-controlled Schottky-type rectifier, meaning that it is composed of a Schottky diode bonded to an electrode on the switching substrate, and reverse biased at a voltage below its reverse breakdown voltage. A P-type channel is used to control on-state current.

The Schottky diode enables rapid and efficient switching of the rectified voltage. When the applied voltage is at a minimum, the threshold voltage and the voltage drop across the diode are also minimized. When the applied voltage exceeds a certain amount, the rectified voltage turns on.

This arrangement, along with the efficient switching provided by the Schottky diode, makes the MBR40035CTR capable of providing very reliable voltage regulation and high-efficiency, high-speed switching.

Conclusion

The MBR40035CTR is an array of Schottky rectifier diodes designed for use in medium power applications. It is used in automotive batteries, protection elements, and regulated DC-DC converters, among other applications. The Schottky diode used in the MBR40035CTR enables efficient and fast switching and helps to ensure quality regulation.
