Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

MUR1100ERL is a type of single-phase, fast-recovery rectifier manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is a general purpose, low-cost power diode that can be used for various applications in the areas of consumer electronics, telecom and automotive applications.

Application Field

MUR1100ERL is a fast-turn off, ultra-fast recovery rectifier with a maximum reverse voltage of 1100V, ideal for applications such as DC to DC Converters, Switching Power Supplies, Battery Chargers, General Power Supplies and Telecom Rectifiers. This device is widely used in consumer electronics due to its low cost, low forward voltage, very low reverse leakage current, high surge capability and excellent capacitance properties. It can also be used in telecom applications such as high-efficiency frequency converters, lightening protection, and power supplies for broadband communication systems.

The low noise VF typical of a MUR1100ERL rectifier is also ideal for applications such as DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectification, battery chargers and ultra-high reliability telecom power supplies. This device offers excellent overload and surge capability, enabling it to meet various requirements in consumer electronics and telecom applications.

Working Principle

MUR1100ERL rectifiers operate in a single-phase full-wave rectification. When the applied voltage is forward biased, the diode conducts current and when it is reverse biased, the current is blocked and no current flows. This type of rectifier is designed to have fast turn off and ultra-fast recovery time, ensuring the device will not be damaged in the event of an overload.

The low thermal resistances of this device makes it suitable for high current applications, allowing higher efficiency and lower losses. The device’s robust construction and surge immunity make it suitable for harsh industrial and automotive environments. The device is also protected against overvoltage spikes, ensuring reliable operation and a long operating life.
