VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF

VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is a diode rectifier array that consists of eight independent high current Schottky silicon diodes. It has a low reverse leakage current and a low forward voltage drop. This array is widely used in various applications such as secondary rectification power supplies, AC adapters, line powered switching regulators, and EMI reduction.

The Schottky diodes are connected in series within an array configuration to provide a higher peak reverse voltage (VRRM) than a single diode. The package is in an ultra-small SMA surface mount type, which allows for easy mounting onto printed circuit boards. It also has an internal ceramic shield to provide improved thermal performance.

The VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF operates by allowing current to pass in one direction and blocking the flow in the opposite direction. This is due to its built-in junction barrier potential. When applied across the diode, when the voltage is greater than the rectification level, current will flow in one direction and when the voltage is less than the rectification level, no current will flow. The current flows in a single direction, as a function of the junction potential (VF) of the diode. The VF of the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is 0.45V typical.

The VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF has a surge capability of 8A peak and a repetitive peak forward reverse voltage of 80V. It also has a low thermal resistance junction-to-ambient SMA package of 2.3°C/W. Additionally, this diode array has a high surge capability of 75A peak and a high efficiency secondary rectification of >90%. It is rated to operate in temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.

Due to its features, the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF application field includes use in AC adapters, secondary rectification power supplies, line powered switching regulators, EMI reduction, and other high current/high temperature applications. The forward voltage drop of the diode along with its ability to handle high peak reverse voltages, make it well suited for these applications.

In conclusion, the VS-16CTQ080STRRPBF is a diode array that is suitable for high current, high power applications. Its low forward voltage drop, high surge capability, and high efficiency secondary rectification make it a great option for AC adapters, power supplies, and EMI reduction applications.
