Working Principle

The working principle of the STPS8170DEE-TR is based on the principles of rectification. Rectification is the process by which an AC voltage is converted into DC voltage by the flow of electrons. During the process, a diode is used to pass current in only one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. With its ultra-fast reverse recovery characteristics, the STPS8170DEE-TR is able to pass current easily and quickly in forward direction while providing protection against voltage and current spikes. In addition, its ultra-soft reverse recovery characteristics allow it to reduce EMI interference when switching.

Conclusion

The STPS8170DEE-TR is a subminiature single-phase ultra-fast recovery ultra-soft reverse recovery rectifier diode suitable for use in a wide range of power conversion applications. It is designed to reduce losses and provide higher efficiency, as well as reduce EMI interference and switching losses. With its ultra-fast reverse recovery time and ultra-soft reverse recovery characteristics, it can easily be used in compact electronic devices with low power dissipation.
