VI30150CHM3/4W

The VI30150CHM3/4W is a high-voltage, low-distortion, common anode Schottky rectifier array. It has two channels, each packaged in a DIP-8 housing. The device has an extended maximum voltage rating of 200 V, making it suitable for use in high-efficiency power supplies, motor control and current sensing applications. The VI30150CHM3/4W offers 15 A peak current capability and a maximum power dissipation of 3 W.

The common anode Schottky rectifier array is a type of rectifier array where a single anode is shared by two, three or even four Schottky diodes connected in series. These rectifiers have the advantage of high current handling capability and low on-state resistance, but have a slightly higher forward voltage drop than other diode types.

The VI30150CHM3/4W is designed to minimize distortion with an ultra-low leakage current of only 10 nA under normal forward current. It also offers fast response times, low reverse recovery times and low switching transitions for load switching applications. This makes it especially useful for transient voltage suppression and in power supply design.

The VI30150CHM3/4W offers a wide operational temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius and comes in 8-lead DIP and SOIC package options. The device is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including automotive.

In terms of applications, the VI30150CHM3/4W can be used in power supplies including AC/DC converters, automotive DC/DC converters, motor control, UPS systems, server and data center rectifications. It is also used in current sensing and transient voltage suppression in automotive and industrial systems.

The VI30150CHM3/4W works by allowing forward current to flow when the anode is connected to a positive potential. When the potential reverses, the diode blocks current flow and provides a high voltage protection. This makes it possible to prevent short circuits and other damage from occurring when the system is subjected to over-voltage or surges.

In summary, the VI30150CHM3/4W is a high-performance, high-voltage rectifier array. It offers extended maximum voltage ratings and low forward voltage drop, high current handling capability and fast response times. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring high-efficiency, low-distortion power supplies, motor control and current sensing. Furthermore, its extended temperature range, RoHS compliance and halogen-free construction make it suitable for a variety of industries, including automotive.
