Diodes are an integral component of many electronic systems as they are used for a wide range of functions. Diodes can be found in amplifiers, digital circuits, logic gates etc. A special type of diode called a single rectifier, is designed to be used in applications where powerful, efficient, and reliable electrical current control is needed. One example of a single rectifier diode is the RGF1DHE3/67A. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the RGF1DHE3/67A.

Application Field

The RGF1DHE3/67A is designed primarily for use in DC/DC converters and voltage regulators in automotive and industrial power supplies. It is also suitable for various full wave rectification applications in power electronics. The diode is also used in AC voltage controllers, AC/DC converters, snubber circuits, and motor control circuits.

Features

The RGF1DHE3/67A is equipped with a convenient 4-pin pin-out and is composed of three different packaged parts: a Schottky rectifier, a diode, and a thyristor (also called triac). Thanks to its 4-pin pin-out it is incredibly easy to push the diode into place, thus greatly simplifying the installation. Furthermore, the diode features an efficient active clamp circuit which provides high power density and low power loss. It is also capable of withstanding high operating temperature, up to 150°C, thus making it suitable for high-temperature applications.

Working Principle

The RGF1DHE3/67A is designed to ensure low voltage switching and current control. To accomplish this, the diode uses a three-sectional design, consisting of a Schottky rectifier, a diode, and a thyristor. Firstly, the positive input of the diode is connected to the positive side of a DC power source and the negative input is connected to a resistor and then grounded. Secondly, the Schottky rectifier is placed parallel to the thyristor and acts as a protection for the thyristor. Thirdly, the diode junction is placed in between the Schottky rectifier and the thyristor, which prevents the thyristor from being triggered by the Schottky rectifier. This circuit prevents the thyristor from being over-triggered or prematurely activated by a low current surge or limited voltage drop.

Once the circuit is in place, two different types of electrical signals can pass through the junction. When a positive input is received by the junction, the diode converts the signal into a form that can be used by the thyristor. This signal is then transmitted through to the thyristor, which triggers it to turn the circuit on or off. Conversely, when a negative input is received by the junction, the diode shuts off the current and the thyristor is prevented from being triggered.

Conclusion

The RGF1DHE3/67A is an incredibly efficient and reliable single rectifier diode for DC/DC converter and voltage regulator applications. It features an efficient active clamp circuit which provides high power density and low power loss, as well as the ability to withstand high operating temperatures. Lastly, the diode uses a three-sectional design consisting of a Schottky rectifier, a diode, and a thyristor to ensure low voltage switching and current control.
