STPS2H100UY

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The STPS2H100UY is a single, ultra-fast recovery rectifier diode, which is widely used in rectification, DC/DC converters, and power supplies. This device has an average forward current rating of 2.0A, with a 150V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The STPS2H100UY features soft – recovery technology, an ultra-fast recovery time, a reverse leakage current of 3.0µA (at a reverse voltage of 150V), and is capable of withstanding a repetitive reverse pulse current of up to 200A. The STPS2H100UY’s low power density makes it suitable for operations under high thermal resistance.

Application Field and Working Principle

The STPS2H100UY is typically used in power supply lines, rectification, voltage clamping, and power conversion networks. Its average forward current rating allows it to be used in applications where a low forward voltage drop is desired. The ultra-fast recovery time and low forward voltage drop allows this device to efficiently switch between operating and standby modes quickly, and continuously operate at high frequency. Additionally, its capability of withstanding high repetitive reverse pulse current allows it to be used in power conditioning circuits where high peak reverse currents must be managed.

The STPS2H100UY is a diode that is designed to act as a one-way valve for electric current. It allows current to flow through it in one direction (from anode to cathode), and prevents current from flowing in the opposite direction, as the electric field near the junction between the anode and cathode is strong enough to block it. The device also has a reverse recovery time, which determines how quickly it will switch from the forward blocking state (no current) to the reverse blocking state (no current).

The device is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, vibrations, and impact, making it suitable for harsh environments, such as those found in industrial, automotive and aerospace applications. The device’s soft-recovery technology ensures that it allows a minimum amount of current to flow during transitions between its forward and reverse blocking states, thus eliminating disruptive voltage transients.

The diode’s low power density ensures reliable and efficient operation under high thermal resistance. It is capable of withstanding a higher repetitive reverse voltage when compared to Schottky diodes, and also has lower leakage current than other diodes, allowing for greater efficiency in applications where low voltage drop is desired. Additionally, its ultra-fast recovery time allows for improved switching in applications that require frequent transitioning between forward and reverse blocking states.

The STPS2H100UY offers enhanced performance, long life and reliable operation in a variety of application fields. Its single device construction, short-circuit protection, and reduced thermal losses make it an ideal choice for rectification and power conversion networks, and for use in low voltage motor and appliance control circuits.
