STPR1620CG-TR

The STPR1620CG-TR belongs to the family of rectifiers and diode array devices. These devices are designed to provide fast switching and overvoltage protection in a wide range of applications. The STPR1620CG-TR includes two silicon carbide (SiC) diodes arranged in a dual common cathode configuration. Mounted onto a thermally conductive surface mount package, these devices offer thermal management capabilities that allow for more efficient power switching and improved operating reliability.

A rectifier diodes array is typically used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This conversion can be achieved by connecting the two terminals of the rectifier diodes array in parallel with the AC source and the load to the resulting DC voltage. A limitation of conventional power rectification is the presence of high ripple voltage at the output. The STPR1620CG-TR is designed to minimize these effects, delivering higher power efficiency and helping to protect sensitive components from overvoltage damage.

The dual common cathode configuration of the STPR1620CG-TR allows for a faster switching of currents in both directions, allowing for its use in applications such as inverters, voltage converters and power splitters. The device also helps to minimize the effects of inductive and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) noise. Moreover, its high thermal conductivity and fast switching speed enable it to perform in high temperatures.

In addition to providing overvoltage protection and power efficiency, the STPR1620CG-TR can also be used in fast circuit clamping applications. Its fast switching ability allows the device to serve as a clamp to limit overvoltage transients and protect against ESD events. As such, the device is ideal for use in power sources, PDUs, SMPSs and industrial systems.

The STPR1620CG-TR is a versatile device that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its fast switching ability and high thermal conductivity make the device suitable for use in high-performance power electronics systems. The device’s dual common cathode configuration allows it to provide fast current switching and improved power efficiency in a variety of applications, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring fast response time, power efficiency and protection from overvoltage damage.
