STPS30L30CR Datasheet/PDFThe STPS30L30CR is a diode array that is frequently used in applications where a high amount of current needs to be rectified. This device is designed specifically for high efficiency and low power consumption, and it is commonly used to create step-down DC-to-DC converters, transformers, and other types of power supplies. The STPS30L30CR features an internal configuration of four Schottky diodes and a high voltage rating of 30 volts.
The STPS30L30CR is constructed with a low-profile, surface-mount package with a maximum height of 0.42mm. This device is also RoHS-compliant and eliminates the need for a heatsink in most applications. It is able to withstand up to 2A of reverse current while still maintaining a relatively low thermal resistance. The STPS30L30CR also has a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
The working principle of the STPS30L30CR is based on the Schottky diodes’ characteristic of blocking reverse current and passing forward current. The Schottky diodes are designed with a metal-oxide-semiconductor layer, which acts as a barrier that prevents electrons from passing from the metal to the semiconductor. As a result, any current that is sent in the opposite direction of the diode’s cathode will be blocked. This allows for a large amount of current to be rectified for a variety of applications.
One of the primary applications for the STPS30L30CR is the creation of DC-to-DC converters. This type of power supply is used to convert a DC voltage from one voltage level to another, which is necessary for many electronic devices. The STPS30L30CR can be used as part of a multi-stage converter circuit, which can take either a higher or lower voltage than the desired output and step it down to the necessary level. This device can also be used in waveform recognition applications and as part of assistance or safety systems.
The STPS30L30CR is an ideal choice for anyone who is looking for a compact, low-cost, and efficient diode array that can efficiently rectify large amounts of current. It is designed with a low-profile package and is compliant with RoHS, which makes it a great solution for any application. This device offers the user a wide operating temperature range and can withstand up to 2A of reverse current, making it a reliable and durable part.
