The VS-30CTQ080-1-M3 diode array provides four independent channels for high power equipment. Its low forward voltage drop, combined with a minimum on-state resistance, results in minimal power dissipation. As a result, the device has a high efficiency and is especially suitable for switching applications.

Application Field

Due to its very low forward voltage drop, the VS-30CTQ080-1-M3 diode array can be used in a variety of power supply designs. The device is especially suitable in applications such as telecom, automotive, computing and other high power applications. It can be used in various switching power supply designs, such as DC-DC converters, multi-channel bipolar power supplies and in high speed digital logic circuits.

Working Principle

The VS-30CTQ080-1-M3 works on the principle of a diode array. A diode array is an assembly of multiple diodes that are electrically connected so that the same forward voltage drop appears across all diodes, regardless of the current through each diode. The main advantage of the diode array is that the current through each diode is the same, which allows for higher current switching and a more consistent performance from each diode.

In this diode array, the four channels are connected together and the output is applied across them. The diode array works on the principle of peaks and valleys in the voltage waveform. When the voltage is above the peak voltage, the diodes are “on” and the current can flow through them. When the voltage is lower than the valley voltage, the diodes are “off” and the current is blocked. By controlling the voltage and current levels, the desired output voltage can be achieved.
