Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

SD101CWS-HE3-18 is a high-current, ultrafast switching diode manufactured by EPCOS. It is designed to be used in applications where high-voltage and high-current isolation is required. The typical use of this device is in power supplies, where fast switching is needed and high-voltage isolation must be maintained.

The device consists of two NPN transistors, two Schottky barrier diodes, and two avalanche breakdown diodes. The two NPN transistors provide switching action by biasing both the base and the collector of the device. The Schottky barrier diodes are used to ensure fast switching action by limiting the current through the collector-base junction. The avalanche breakdown diodes are used to withstand high current without excessive thermal or electric breakdown in the junction.

The device is typically used in power supplies and other high voltage applications. It is designed to provide a very fast switching time, allowing higher efficiency in the circuit. The device is capable of providing high-current isolation with minimal power dissipation. It is also designed to be able to withstand high-voltages with minimal damage to the circuit components.

The device can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, DC link inverters, high-voltage power supplies, and other high-voltage and high-current applications. In power supplies, the device can be used for isolating the power supply’s output from its input to provide high-current isolation and reduce power dissipation. In DC link inverters, the device can be used to provide the switching required for fast, accurate operation of the inverter. In high-voltage power supplies, the device can be used for isolating the supply output from its input, providing a low-voltage, high-current isolation and allowing higher efficiency in the circuit.

The device is also highly reliable and can withstand long-term and harsh environmental conditions. It is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 125°C without degradation and has a switching speed of 5 nanoseconds. The device is also capable of withstanding high-voltage transients, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
