SD1206S020S1R0 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The STS1206S020S1R0 is an ultrafast single-phase soft-recovery rectifier. It is a high-speed, current-controlled soft switching diode that has been specifically designed to improve the overall efficiency of power supplies. It features a special internal diode structure and broad range of forward voltage drop to minimize reverse conduction losses. This device is suitable for high current applications, such as automotive power supplies, DC-DC converters, and solar inverters.

Application Field

The STS1206S020S1R0 has been designed for a wide range of applications, including:

• High Current Automotive Applications
• DC-DC Converters
• DC-AC Inverters
• Soft Switched Rectifiers for Large Power Supplies
• Switching Diodes for High Power Data Center Applications

The STS1206S020S1R0 has been designed for operation with very high forward current rating, much higher than most standard rectifiers. The rated average forward current of the device is 20A, which is much higher than conventional rectifiers. This feature allows the device to be used in applications requiring very high current ratings, such as large data center applications, where very high power is required.

Working Principle

The STS1206S020S1R0 is a soft-switching rectifier. This type of rectifier operates with a control current that regulates the forward current of the diode in order to reduce the power losses. When a forward voltage is applied to the diode, the current passes through the diode. The control current then activates the diode\'s internal switch and reduces the forward current while keeping the forward voltage drop at its minimum.

The device also has a reverse voltage breakdown protection feature. When the reverse voltage exceeds the device\'s breakdown voltage, the current through the diode is shut off and no current will pass through it. This feature is useful in preventing permanent damage to the device, which could be caused by sudden surges in voltage.

Conclusion

The STS1206S020S1R0 is a high-speed soft-switching rectifier designed for high current applications in automotive, DC-DC converters, and inverters. The device offers a wide range of forward voltage drop and reverse voltage breakdown protection to ensure efficient operation and prevent possible permanent damage. It has been designed for use in applications requiring very high forward current, such as large data center applications.
