MBRB3060CTTR Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays are devices that are comprised of an arrangement of diodes – typically between two and four – that can be used in applications such as rectification, voltage-sensitivity, and power-sourcing. The MBRB3060CTTR is part of a family of identical components, but with different pin configurations and current ratings. It is commonly used in automotive, telecommunications and industrial environments.

The MBRB3060CTTR is a three-terminal, hyper-fast, ultra-low power switchmode rectifier in an SOT-89 package. It utilizes the latest 40V silicon technology, and is designed to control reverse current in many applications. The device can switch and protect several channels with a wide on-state resistance dynamic range of 1.5Ω to 4 ½ Ω max.

The MBRB3060CTTR features a built-in surge capability for robust protection and improved reliability in high-transient applications, such as Instrument and Audio systems. The MBRB3060CTTR is considered a current efficient piece of equipment, because it has minimal power dissipation when fully activated.

Due to its wide range of applications, this component is extremely versatile and can be used in most common circuits. It is also commonly used in consumer electronics, including digital audio, digital video, portables, and camcorders, as well as traditional consumer products such as TVs, CD players, and home-theatre systems.

It is specifically designed so that the on-state resistance can be increased and decreased at will, allowing the user to adjust the device to a specific application. When using this component, the user is able to select the proper current rating while maintaining the desired protection level, enabling the user to design their own protection schemes.

When the MBRB3060CTTR is used, either as a stand-alone component or as part of an array, it operates in a three-phase configuration for a full-wave rectification, eliminating the need for additional components and allowing for greater efficiency and a higher power output level.

The working principle of the component is fairly straightforward; when two of the three terminals are connected together, voltage is increased across the variable resistance. This increase in voltage is then used to provide power for a motor, capacitor, or other device. The working principle of the component is based on a basic diode configuration, with three separate “legs” assigned to the device.
