SD101CWS-HE3-08 Application Field and Working Principle

The SD101CWS-HE3-08 is a single rectifier diode that offers a high-speed switching performance due to its low reverse recovery time. This diode is suitable for applications such as motor drives, LED lighting, and voltage regulation.

The device has a breakdown voltage rating of 800V and a peak forward recoverable power dissipation of 7.5W. Its forward characteristic is also made up of a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.25V at a forward current of 1A and an average forward current of 3.2A.

Working principle of the SD101CWS-HE3-08 involves a combination of the PN junction and an external electric field. As soon as current flows across the PN junction, electrons from the P-type region move and holes from the N-type region move. This causes the external electric field to be weakened and the current to be blocked, preventing any further flow and resulting in a controlled voltage drop.

The diode offers superior capacitive-like performance and a high reverse-biased safe operating avalanche energy of 79mJ. This avalanche energy can be used to reduce the size or number of external components that are needed to build a circuit. The device has a maximum junction temperature of 175°C, allowing it to safely operate in temperatures up to 165°C.

The SD101CWS-HE3-08 can be used in a wide range of applications due to its high-speed switching performance, low reverse recovery time, robust breakdown voltage, and high reverse-biased safe operating avalanche energy. As such, it is suitable for motor drives, LED lighting, voltage regulation, and other applications that require high performance Diodes.

Overall, the SD101CWS-HE3-08 offers excellent performance and is suitable for many different applications. It offers high-speed switching performance, robust breakdown voltage, and high reverse-biased safe operating avalanche energy, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable diode for their applications.
