VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3

The VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3 is a surface mount three terminal ultrafast rectifier array composed of two single channel rectifiers. It is designed for applications requiring high reverse surge capability, low forward voltage drop, and high di/dt capability. These devices are built on a ceramic header, offering enhanced thermal performance, thus making them suitable for applications where space is limited and high output power dissipation is necessary. The device is optimized for use on multi-phase power systems.

Applications

The VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3 can be used for a variety of applications such as transient voltage suppression, snubber circuits, and portable battery powered equipment. It is also suitable for high speed switching in automotive, industrial and consumer markets as it can operate up to 10A peak and 8.1A for continuous operation. Additionally, these devices feature ultra-low reverse leakage, high surge capability and low forward voltage drop.

Working Principle

The VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3 utilizes a three-terminal configuration that consists of two single-channel rectifiers. The device includes two separate output diodes, each with its own anode and cathode terminals, and a common gate terminal. The common gate terminal works like a control switch, controlling the on and off operation of the rectifier and allowing the device to be configured in a number of different ways. When the gate voltage is low, current flows freely through the device, forward biasing the diode, and the rectifier is in forward biased and in an "on" state. When the gate voltage is high, current does not flow and the diode is reverse biased, so the rectifier is in a "off" state. When the two outputs of the VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3 are connected in series, it can be used as a full-wave rectifier.

Conclusion

The VS-12CWQ10FNTRL-M3 is an ideal component for applications requiring high reverse surge, low forward voltage drop, and high di/dt capability. These devices offer enhanced thermal performance and short-circuit protection, and can be used for applications such as transient voltage suppression, snubber circuits, and portable battery powered equipment. In addition, it can be configured in different ways to provide full-wave rectification.
