Diodes – Rectifiers - Arrays

The application of the UFT12520 rectifier diode arrays is of great importance particularly in low voltage and medium voltage rectification, inverter circuits and smoothing of full and half wave rectification. The other benefits of the UFT12520 are that it has fast switching characteristics, low forward voltage drop and that it is capable of high speed switching. Moreover, it is a silicon based rectifier diode array with an epoxy mold package and a single dual DCB die.

The UFT12520 rectifier diode arrays consists of four rectifier diodes in a single low profile package. Each of the four diodes is electrically isolated from the other and there is also a common cathode bond pad for the array. The UFT12520 is designed for general purpose full bridge and half bridge applications such as DC/AC converter circuits, rectification, low voltage applications and simple switch mode power supplies.

Working Principle of UFT12520

The working principle of the UFT12520 rectifier diode arrays is based on the way the four individual diodes in the array are connected in series. The array has a common cathode bond pad and each one of the four diodes works alternately as an anode or a cathode. The forward voltage drop of the diodes is low and they switch with an acceptable time rate. This allows the UFT12520 to handle large voltages and currents with high repetition rates in both intelligent and power control circuits.

The two most important characteristics of the UFT12520 rectifier diode arrays are the ability to handle high reverse bias voltages and low forward voltage drops. This makes them suitable for renewable energy applications, such as solar and wind power, DC/AC inverter design, power factor correction and motor currents. The UFT12520 also has a built in temperature protection feature.

The UFT12520 rectifier diode arrays are also used in rectifiers and inverters. In rectifiers, the diode array is used to convert the AC power from the mains to DC power which can then be used to provide power to various electrical components such as relays, motors and voltage regulators. In an inverter, the rectifier diode array is used to convert the DC power from the mains to AC power.

The UFT12520 rectifier diode array is also used in many applications related to power factor correction, motor current control and for long-term-high current carrying applications. The diode array\'s high output capacitance and reverse bias voltage capabilities provide efficient power factor correction and motor current control. The low forward voltage drop of the UFT12520 rectifier diode array makes it suitable for long-term high current carrying applications, such as for switch-mode power supplies.
