MBRF1050CTHC0G

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays is a category of components that enable the conversion and control of electrical power flows. The MBRF1050CTHC0G is a Schottky Rectifier Array integrated circuit (IC) of unidirectional thyristors developed by ON Semiconductor. Aimed at personal computer power supplies, motor drives, and other power systems, this IC is intended to protect against transmission line transients and voltage surge, as well as greatly improve energy efficiency and immunity to line disturbances.

The timing of each section\'s switching operation can be adjusted independently a parameter called propagation delay in the output stage. The propagation delay of the MBRF1050CTHC0G may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the current through the gate. This can be used to optimize the system for efficient power delivery.

How the MBRF1050CTHC0G Works

The MBRF1050CTHC0G utilizes a Schottky rectifier array which consists of four rectifier pairs in a single package, which enables efficient and uniform flow of current from a phase bridge rectifier. It accomplishes this by converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The MBRF1050CTHC0G provides two independent gates, separated by three rectifier pairs that create an isolation barrier to minimize surge noise arising from the application of power, while the polarity of the input signal and the connections of the outputs can be adjusted using the internal or external control signal.

In addition, this IC also has a patented programmable time delay feature, allowing the designer to optimize the response of the device based on the application. This time delay feature helps to protect against transmission line transients and other common occurrences. Additionally, the device supports peak output current of 700V, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of applications.
