SBR20A100CTFP Datasheet/PDFThe SBR20A100CTFP, a diode-rectifier array, is designed to provide full-wave rectification with low forward voltage drop in a variety of applications. It is a surface-mount package with a low profile of 2.2 mm and low leakage current, making it suitable for portable electronics. This part offers low cost and rapid heatsinking, great for high-temperature applications.
The SBR20A100CTFP is an array of 100 cells, each containing two opposing silicon diodes connected in reverse series, i.e. two antiparallel diodes. The SBR20A100CTFP is suitable for forward rectification and very low output capacitance. The 100 diodes are externally connected in series to form a full-wave rectifier, which is suitable for most alternating current (AC) applications.
The main application area of the SBR20A100CTFP is the power supply industry, where it is used for bridge rectification and electrolytic capacitors filtering of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) coming from the power grid and other external sources. The extremely low forward voltage drop of the SBR20A100CTFP makes it an ideal choice for low-power applications. The SBR20A100CTFP can also be used in high-speed encryption, data transmission, and high-efficiency capture circuits. Because of its low thermal resistance and negligible output capacitance, the SBR20A100CTFP is an excellent choice in applications such as frequency inverters, motor controls, inverter systems, and UPS circuits. Other applications include inverters, PFC filters, overvoltage protection circuits, and lightning protection circuits.
The working principle behind the SBR20A100CTFP as a rectifier is simple. When the AC input voltage is in a positive cycle, the two antiparallel diodes turn on, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode and producing a DC output voltage. During the negative cycle, the two diodes turn off, so the current only flows from the cathode to anode, and the negative part of the AC signal is reversed, thus producing a DC output voltage.
The SBR20A100CTFP is an ideal device for low-power and high-speed applications in the power supply industry. With its low forward voltage drop, small package size, low profile, low thermal resistance, and low output capacitance, the SBR20A100CTFP is excellent for applications that require a dependable and efficient rectifier.
