Working Principle

The VS-VSKC270-12PBF is a three-terminal silicon diode array with integrated dynamic diodes for reverse blocking capability. It is designed to provide a low forward voltage drop and a low reverse leakage current for maximum efficiency. When connected to an AC voltage source, the device provides rectification of the AC waveform by allowing the current to flow in one direction only. The forward voltage drop of the device is typically in the range of 0.2V to 0.8V, while the reverse leakage current is typically in the range of 0.1uA to 50uA.

When connected in series with a resistor and a low voltage generator, the device maintains a voltage drop of 0.2V to 0.8V, resulting in a slow but steady current across the diode array. This current helps the device to block back EMF or conduct in the opposite direction, thus allowing DC-DC converters, motor controllers, and other components to be efficiently powered with direct current.

Additionally, the VS-VSKC270-12PBF can be used for rectifying alternating current and for providing reverse blocking capabilities for AC-DC converters. By combining the device with complimentary components such as capacitors, inductors, and the like, a full rectification cycle can be created, which is suitable for high power circuits.
