Introduction

The MSKD200-16 is part of a family of diodes and is widely used in the rectification of electrical power. It is a two-terminal, electrically isolated semiconductor device for connecting with other electrical components in an electrical system to achieve a desired functionality. The diode design is optimized for high-frequency applications and is called an array diode due to the series of diode junctions contained in the device. The following will provide an overview of the MSKD200-16 application field and working principle.

Application Field

The MSKD200-16 is used to rectify alternating current that averages over time to a continuous direct current used in power supplies, as well as in numerous applications that use power conversion. It is used in motor control systems, line junctions, and multiple consumer goods such as power tools, measuring instruments, and communication systems. The diode also finds its way into consumer electronics like TVs, stereos, DVD players, and laptop computers.

In rectification applications, an array diode is preferred over standard diodes such as the 1N400x series, due to their lower forward voltage drop, better EMI protection, higher power ratings, and consistent performance over a wide temperature range. This makes the MSKD200-16 very popular in power and voltage regulation applications.

Working Principle

The MSKD200-16 array consists of two parts: a central rectifying section, and four taps to help manage the flow of current. The rectifying section includes four series-sectioned reverse-biased Schottky diodes, with one anode connected to a common cathode. This allows one or four cells to be used, depending on the level of voltage that needs to be blocked. The four taps are connected to a terminal, and can be used to control the amount of current flow, or provide a limitation current level. This allows the device to be used in different load scenarios, as well as provide power conditioning.

When an AC voltage is connected, the negative current will be blocked, while the positive current from the input voltage will follow the rectifying section and will be available at the outputs. Controlling the amount of current passing through the device can be done by selecting a specific tap to limit current levels, or the four taps can be used together in order to use all four cells and provide the needed output voltage.

Conclusion

The MSKD200-16 array diode is a versatile and highly reliable device that is used in a variety of rectification and power conditioning applications. Its superior features make it an ideal choice for any application requiring DC power from an AC source. Its ability to control the amount of current flow and provide a limitation current level gives it great flexibility, making it a go-to device for any situation. These are just some of the reasons that the MSKD200-16 is a popular choice for power conversion applications.
