The Working Principle of VS-240U60DM16 Single Rectifier Diodes
 
VS-240U60DM16 single rectifier diodes are based on a three-stage topology for power factor correction (PFC), which combines the diode bridge rectifier and a buck-type preregulating power factor corrector (PFC). The diode bridge rectifier serves to convert the AC voltage into DC voltage. The PFC stage is then employed to reduce the pulse-width modulation distortion originating from the rectifier. The two stages are integrated into one unit, thus reducing the component count and size. 
 
Besides, the diode is equipped with an optically isolated feedback circuit, which allows for continuous measurement of the output voltage and current in order to maintain high performance. The diode also features surge protection circuits, over-temperature protection, and fault conditions detection and isolation.
