Working Principle

The working principle of the RF1501TF3S is based on the rectification process. When a voltage is applied to the two terminals of the diode, the diode operates as a forward biased diode and conducts current. In this configuration, the diode\'s conduction behavior is similar to that of a resistor.

When the voltage applied to the terminals is zero or negative, the diode operates as a reverse biased diode and blocks current flow. This means that the device has a so-called negative resistance characteristic, in which a small increase in voltage causes the device to lessen its resistance and increase its current flow.

The RF1501TF3S combines the advantages of forward and reverse conductivity to allow the current flow to be easily controlled. The device makes use of both the forward and reverse conductivity of the diode to achieve low losses and an ultra-low recovery time.

The RF1501TF3S is an efficient device that can be used in a variety of applications. Its wide range of features makes it suitable for power management applications that require high efficiency, low losses, and fast switching.
