It is available in standard miniature and subminiature package; like TO-220, TO-252, TO-263 and SOT-227B/C, among others.

UFS340G/TR13 is widely applied in dc brushless motors and electromotors, as well as automotive, industrial, communication and consumer applications. It is commonly used in the realization of full wave rectifiers, used to convert ac to dc, and in power supplies, converters, chargers, voltage regulators and motor control circuits. Additionally, it can also be used for snubber relays, AC power switching and other power electronic applications.

Working Principle of UFS340G/TR13

UFS340G/TR13 is basically a three layer diode which can be used to regulate the flow of electric current between two directions. In a U-shaped diode, the voltage applied to the external circuit consist of a positive and negative side. When the potential difference between the two sides is positive, it will forward-biase the diode, allowing current flow from the positive to the negative side. On the other hand, when the potential difference across the diode is negative, it will reverse-biase the diode and current flow is blocked, thus limiting the flow of current across the diode.

In the case of UFS340G/TR13, it employs a three layer operation in order to ensure high efficiency and low power losses. The middle layer has an arithmetic mean of the first and third layers, working as a current source for the diode, while the first and third layers are used for blocking the current from flowing in the reverse direction. Besides, UFS340G/TR13 also has a very small voltage drop, which reduces power losses and improves the efficiency of the circuit.
