Diodes are electrical components that allow current to flow in one direction. The most common type used in electronics is the semiconductor diode. Rectifier diodes are used to create alternate current (AC) to direct current (DC) electro-mechanical energy conversions. SBR4060CT is a well-known diode array packed with six extremely fast, soft-recovery diodes that are especially suitable for high frequency switching applications. This article will discuss the SBR4060CT application fields, as well as its working principle.

Application Fields

The SBR4060CT is mainly used in freewheeling, snubbering, and energy recovering functions. Freewheeling diodes have a non-reactive switching characteristic and are used to prevent a circuit from damaging itself due to overvoltage caused by inductive spikes. Snubber diodes are very similar to freewheeling diodes, but they are used to protect inductive components from high voltage overshoot and ringing. Energy recovering diodes are used to recover energy that is generated due to the current interruption, which can be used to power other circuits.

The soft recovery characteristic of SBR4060CT make it a preferred choice in power circuits like inverters, AC/DC converters, and motor drives. It also finds application in very high frequency switching circuits, where the fast recovery time minimizes the power dissipation.

Working Principle

The SBR4060CT diode array comprises of six diodes connected in an AC bridge configuration. A diode is an active device which conducts current in the forward direction and does not allow any current flow in the opposite direction. It acts as a switch which turns “on” and “off” either electrically or automatically as the voltage across its electrodes increases or decreases.

In the SBR4060CT, the six diodes are connected in a straight line, with each PN junction connected to three terminals. When the voltage across any of the diode is positive, it will conduct and current will flow in one direction through the array only. When the voltage is negative, the diode will not conduct, and the current will flow in the opposite direction. This ensures that the voltage at the output is always maintained at a constant value.

The SBR4060CT features a soft-recovery characteristic which helps to minimize the power dissipation caused by the diode. The diode array allows for much faster switching than a single diode, and as a result, reduces the amount of power consumed by the circuit. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high frequency switching.

In conclusion, the SBR4060CT is a versatile diode array that is designed for power management applications. It features soft-recovery characteristic which reduces switching power losses, making it the ideal choice for high-frequency switching applications.
