Working Principle

VS-VSKC56/10 diode arrays are composed of two rectifiers. The two components are connected as either a bridge rectifier or a voltage doubler, depending on the specific application. In both cases, the two rectifiers combined act as a single diode. The voltage or current present in the circuit is then used to regulate the speed at which the device can switch the output.

The bridge rectifying action occurs when the two diodes are connected in a forward direction, forming a traditional bridge rectifier. This arrangement helps to suppress harmonic components and provide a more efficient rectification. In a voltage-doubler rectifying circuit, the two diodes are placed in antiparallel fashion. This arrangement helps to rapidly charge and discharge a capacitor connected in between the diode pair. The amount of charge accumulated in the capacitor acts as the reference voltage for the device.

The VS-VSKC56/10 diode arrays are also used in power factor correction and voltage-multiplier applications. These two circuits require the two rectifiers to be connected in an alternating manner. When one of the rectifiers Switch is activated, it will also activate the other rectifier. By alternating between the two rectifiers, a certain amount of power leakage is minimized. This helps to regulate the voltage and current present in the device, allowing it to provide better power factor and voltage-multiplier performance.

VS-VSKC56/10 diode arrays also provide a low-voltage cutoff feature. This feature helps to reduce power losses by cutting off the current when the voltage falls below a predetermined level. This helps to ensure that the device does not get damaged by any sudden spikes in voltage.

By utilizing the bridge or voltage-doubling rectifying action of the two rectifiers, VS-VSKC56/10 diode arrays can help save power and money in many applications. These components are ideal for high power AC-DC, DC-DC, power factor correction, and voltage-multiplier applications. They provide low-voltage cutoff protection, allowing them to be used in even the harshest of environments.
