SDURD1030CTTR

The SDURD1030CTTR is a diode rectifier array that is designed as a general-purpose device. Its main application fields include power rectification, bridge circuits, and battery-backed power supplies. This device also finds use in many automotive, industrial and consumer electronics applications, such as motor control systems, AC adapters, and lighting systems.

The SDURD1030CTTR rectifier array is a Schottky barrier diode (SBD) device with a rectified current rating of 1.3A per diode. It is available in a 4-pin package and is fabricated in a surface-mount design. The diode rectifier array consists of four parallel diodes connected in series. It has a forward voltage drop of approximately 0.66V and a reverse voltage rating of 30V.

Due to its low forward drop and reverse leakage, the SDURD1030CTTR diode rectifier array is suitable for low voltage applications, such as battery-powered circuits, or circuits with limited input sources. The device also features temperature compensation, which is often required for the reliable operation of circuits operating at low temperatures.

The working principle of the SDURD1030CTTR diode rectifier array is a common reverse-biased diode structure. In this configuration, the p-n junction is arranged such that current flows from the anode to the cathode, allowing the anode to be at a higher potential than the cathode. When forward-biased in this configuration, the diode can conduct electricity and act as a conduit for electrical current.

In addition to its rectifying properties, the SDURD1030CTTR can serve as a protective device to the connected load. It can be used in a circuit to clamp a voltage potential, protecting the connected components from over-voltage or transients. Furthermore, its low forward active resistance also makes it suitable for use as a switch or attenuator, allowing for fine tuning of power levels in a circuit.

In conclusion, the SDURD1030CTTR diode rectifier array is a reliable and versatile device, suitable for a wide range of applications. Its low forward drop and reverse leakage make it perfect for low-voltage applications, while its temperature compensation and protective properties make it an ideal choice for power rectification and other circuit protection tasks.
