Application Field and Working Principle

The MUR420 AO G has a wide range of applications including business telecommunication, computer computing load switching, motor control circuits, and power electronics such as power converters or inverters. It is also suitable for use in pulse-width-modulated circuits and is especially suitable for the protection of sensitive circuits such as integrated circuits. MUR420 AO G offers high surge capability, low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage.

The MUR420 AO G provides rectification of alternating current due to its semiconductor construction. It is composed of two p-n junctions, one of which is the anode and the other the cathode. The forward biased junction allows current to flow through the rectifier, while the reverse biased junction prevents current from flowing in the opposite direction. This is the fundamental principle behind a diode’s rectifying ability.

To optimize its performance, the MUR420 AO G uses a glass passivated junction, which reduces the risk of thermal runaway and allows the device to operate at higher temperatures. Additionally, the device is optimized for low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage, which helps to improve the efficiency of the power system.

Conclusion

The MUR420 AO G is a fast-switching rectifier which is designed for applications that require high surge capability and low forward voltage drop, such as business telecommunication, computer computing load switching, motor control circuits, and power electronics. It is constructed with a glass passivated junction and optimized for low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage, which further enhances its performance.
