Diodes are a type of semiconductor component that is used to allow the flow of electric current in one direction only. Rectifiers are a type of diode used to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current). An array is a group of multiple diode or rectifier components connected together to achieve a desired circuit effect. The UGE18CCT-E3/45 is an example of a diode array that has some specific application fields and principles of operation.

Overview of the UGE18CCT-E3/45

The UGE18CCT-E3/45 is an 8-pin dual in-line (DIP) package containing an array of two low voltage Schottky barrier diode rectifiers. This diode array is designed for low voltage and low current applications such as in the automotive power systems, consumer electronics, and telecommunications. The package type is a common-cathode in which the two anodes are connected together at the same terminal and connected to the shared cathode terminal. The diode array contains two individual Schottky rectifiers with a maximum forward current rating of 1 A and a peak inverse voltage of 30 V.

Working Principle

This diode array is based on the high-efficiency Schottky barrier diode rectifier technology with a low voltage drop of 0.45 V. This efficient rectification technology allows current to flow through the diodes in only one direction, from the anode to the cathode. As the current flows, the Schottky rectifying junction produces a voltage drop of 0.45 V between the anode and the cathode. This voltage drop is much lower than that of regular silicon diode rectifiers, resulting in less power being expended during the diode’s operation.

When operating at peak inverse voltage (PIV), the diodes exhibit a very low leakage current offering higher reliability in automotive and other systems. The UGE18CCT-E3/45 is also designed to withstand high temperatures, allowing it to operate in an extended temperature range from -55° C to 125° C.

Application Fields

The UGE18CCT-E3/45 diode array is designed for a variety of applications, including automotive systems, consumer electronics, and telecommunications. Its low voltage drop of 0.45 V makes it ideal for voltage regulation, as it is more efficient than regular silicon diode rectifiers. In automotive applications, the low leakage current of the UGE18CCT-E3/45 allows it to be used in hybrid and electric vehicles, where it can reduce the amount of power expended during operation. In consumer electronics, the diode array can be used in the power supply of computers, phones, and other electronic equipment. In telecommunications, the diode array is used in telephone systems and other high frequency applications.

The UGE18CCT-E3/45 diode array is an ideal solution for efficient diode rectification in a variety of applications. Its low voltage drop and low leakage current features make it an ideal choice for automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunications applications where cost and size are important constraints.
