SR502 A0G application field and working principle

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The SR502 A0G from Diodes Incorporated is a single rectifier used for general purpose rectification. It is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) that can be used for AC and DC circuits ranging from 300mA to 1A. The device is capable of withstanding high surge currents, allowing it to function in a wide variety of applications.

The SR502 A0G features an integrated gate driver and hence requires no external gate triggering voltage, which eliminates additional components and lowers the bill of material cost. The device also includes protection circuitry against over-voltage, over-current, and thermal protection. The device is offered in DPAK/TO-220-3L packages.

Working Principle

The SR502 A0G consists of four regions: the anode, the cathode, the gate and the body. The anode and cathode functions like the poles of a battery, and the gate and body are connected to the cathode and anode respectively. The device works by allowing current to flow through the anode-cathode region when a voltage is applied between the anode and cathode and the gate is positively charged. However, if the gate is not positively charged, no current can flow through the device. This enables the device to switch off quickly.

The SR502 A0G is designed to provide excellent surge capability enabling it to handle very large inrush currents even at transient voltage levels. The device also features internal current limitations which provide protection against damaging thermal runaway and over-current conditions. The device has built-in high temperature protection which ensures the device is not damaged during over-temperature conditions.

Applications

The SR502 A0G is ideal for a wide range of applications such as AC/DC converters, switched mode power supplies, motor controls, relay protection, and soft starters.

The device can be used for voltage regulation, current limiting and power supply protection. It can also be used for high side and low side switching, as well as for detecting supply under-voltage and over-voltage conditions. In addition, the device can be used for PNP/NPN logic level switching and bridge rectification.

It is suitable for use in automotive, industrial and consumer applications. The device is designed to operate in temperature ranges from -40 to +150 degree Celsius.

Conclusion

The SR502 A0G is a single rectifier ideal for a wide range of AC and DC circuits, suitable for automotive, industrial and consumer applications. The device provides excellent surge capability and is equipped with internal current and temperature protection. It can be used for voltage regulation, current limiting, power supply protection, and bridge rectification.
