MUR210G

MUR210G Application Field and Working Principle

The MUR210G is a diode manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is designed for high voltage, high speed switching applications, such as polarity protection, and on-off control. The device has a high surge capability, making it suitable for use in peak load applications. It is also capable of very low forward voltage drop, making it an ideal choice for low-voltage applications.

The MUR210G is a symmetric dual Schottky diode. It is composed of two separate and identical Schottky diodes, connected in series in the same package. Each diode is capable of withstanding repetitive reverse voltages up to 150V, and can block up to 400V without damage.

The MUR210G Schottky diode has a maximum forward current of 2.0A. Its turn-on voltage is around 0.35V and it has an average junction temperature coefficient of -2.2mV/°C. It also has an ultra-fast recovery time of under 200ns.

The MUR210G is typically used in a variety of applications where high-speed switching is required. These applications include switching power supplies, inverters, AC/DC converters, induction heating, motor control systems, and high-voltage rectifiers. It is also well suited for use in digital logic and signal conditioning applications, such as logic gate inputs, comparators and other digital circuitries.

In terms of its working principle, the MUR210G diode works by allowing current to flow in only one direction. The diode is composed of two regions: anode and cathode. When a voltage is applied to the anode, the electrons in this region are attracted to the cathode, and current will flow from the anode to the cathode. However, when a voltage is applied to the cathode, the electrons in this region will be attracted to the anode and no current will flow. The diode will only become conductive if the anode is more positive than the cathode.

The MUR210G diode also has a wide range of other advantages. It is physically sturdy, having an encapsulation of epoxy resin. It is also thermally stable, meaning it will not be affected by negative temperature coefficients or changes in temperature. Additionally, the MUR210G is capable of handling large reverse currents and has a high total power dissipation rating, making it suitable for use in high power applications.

Overall, the MUR210G diode is an excellent choice for switching applications and digital logic circuits. Its performance levels make it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications. Its small size, low forward voltage drop, high surge capability, and ultra-fast switching speed make it a great option for both low-voltage and high-voltage projects.
