STPS20H100CR

The STPS20H100CR is a type of diode array that has a wide range of applications and is used commonly in the electronics industry. It is a rectifier array consisting of two discrete four-terminal Schottky barrier diodes in a single package. This particular device is especially popular because of its superior power dissipation capabilities, high level of thermal stability, and long life expectancy.

The STPS20H100CR rectifier array is used for a variety of different applications. One example is as an input protection device on automotive electronics and input protection circuits, where it provides over-current and reverse voltage protection for other components in the circuit. This device can also be used for automotive and industrial power electronics applications, such as DC-DC converters and high-frequency switching power supplies. Additionally, these rectifiers can be used as conventional rectifiers in AC applications, providing rectification while maintaining low voltage drops.

The STPS20H100CR rectifier array comprises two discrete four-terminal Schottky barrier diodes in a common dual inline package. This device is designed to handle peak operating voltages up to 40 volts and continuous average reverse voltages up to 20 volts. It has a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage rating of 100 volts and a maximum reverse DC leakage current of 0.55 milliamperes at 25°C. The STPS20H100CR also has a high peak forward surge current rating of 34 amperes and fast switching times with a reverse recovery time of just 5 nanoseconds.

The device is specifically designed such that the diodes are series connected inversely, allowing the forward current to be reduced when compared to the same device with standard structural configurations. This particular device also has the ability to control instantaneous peak currents due to its forward bias characteristic, which minimizes power dissipation and reduces over-current risks. In addition, this device has a high thermal stability, allowing it to withstand large transient thermal shifts without significantly affecting the breakdown voltage or its forward voltage characteristics.

The STPS20H100CR rectifier array is used widely in many types of applications, as it has a high level of reliability and offers superior performance compared to other rectifiers. It is most often used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics, among others. It provides superior transient performance, better protection of other components, and exceptional thermal stability. Additionally, its fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop make it an ideal choice for a variety of AC applications.
