Working Principle of the S8-4148/TR13 Diode array

When using an S8-4148/TR13 diode array, a current passes through the rectifying device, typically a diode. This current can either be in the form of direct or alternating current. When the diode is forward biased, the current flows from the anode to the cathode, allowing the current to pass through the load. When the diode is reverse biased, the current is interrupted, preventing any current from flowing through the load. This is known as the rectifying or rectification process.

The S8-4148/TR13 diode array features two identical diodes connected in parallel in order to reduce the power loss due to residue current during reverse conduction. Additionally, a temperature measurement system is built into the device to monitor the temperature of the array and protect it from high temperature conditions.

Conclusion

The S8-4148/TR13 diode array is a unique device specifically designed for power applications. It is suitable for high-power DC to DC converters, switched-mode supplies, and buck converters, as well as other applications such as motor drives and uninterruptible power supplies. The device features a low forward voltage drop, a high peak current capability, a current balance of 2%, and a low reverse current leakage. Finally, the working principle of the S8-4148/TR13 diode array is based on the rectification process, where current is allowed to pass through the load when the diode is forward biased and is blocked when the diode is reverse biased.
