V40PW15C-M3/I Discrete Semiconductor Products

The V40PW15C-M3/I is a diode rectifying array module with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. It is a low voltage, ultra-low capacitance diode array, designed exclusively for mobile equipment applications such as smartphone and laptop charging, USB charging ports, and other handheld device chargers. This diode array module is manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a leading global semiconductor supplier.

The V40PW15C-M3/I diode array consists of a three cell array and an intercell terminal, allowing for a current rating up to 15A. It has a forward voltage of 400mV, and a reverse breakdown voltage of up to 1000V. It is also compliant with UL 94V-0 and meets the requirements of hazardous substances directives from both the European Union and the United States.

The applications for the V40PW15C-M3/I diode array include laptop and smartphone charging, USB charging ports, and other handheld device chargers. As mobile devices become more powerful and require faster charging capabilities, this diode array module enables them to charge quickly and safely. It protects the device from overcharging and undercharging, providing stable input and output protection.

In order to work properly, the V40PW15C-M3/I diode array must first be connected to a power source such as a battery or an AC/DC adapter. Once connected and powered, the diode array will redirect and regulate the flow of current in one direction, allowing power to flow in one direction only. This makes it an efficient way to provide power to electronic devices as it ensures that only clean, regulated power is supplied to the device.

The V40PW15C-M3/I diode array also features an optional temperature sensing element which can be connected to the circuit in order to monitor the operating temperature of the device. This temperature sensor can be used to detect potential overheating issues and will shut the device off if it gets too hot. The temperature sensing element is able to detect a temperature difference of as low as 25°C, making it an ideal solution for non-contact sensing.

The V40PW15C-M3/I diode array is a versatile, efficient and reliable solution for powering and charging mobile devices in modern electronic devices. Its low voltage and low capacitance design makes it an attractive option for mobile device applications, while its temperature sensing capabilities help to ensure safe device operation. As mobile devices become more powerful and complex, the V40PW15C-M3/I diode array is a great choice for powering and protecting these devices.
