VS-VSKJ71/14: Application Field and Working Principle of Rectifier Array

Rectifier arrays are simple, compact circuits that consist of a collection of diodes placed in parallel or series to provide a direct current (DC) output from an alternating current (AC) input source. They can be used to provide AC/DC power conversion, thermal protection, patient safety, signal or data transmission and many other applications. VS-VSKJ71/14 is a type of rectifier array developed by Vishay Siliconix, a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. It offers the advantages of reduced part count, improved power conversion efficiency, and faster control response. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the VS-VSKJ71/14 diode array.

Applications of VS-VSKJ71/14

Rectifiers are commonly used in power supplies and other power applications, such as lighting, motor control, DC charging, and switching circuits. The VS-VSKJ71/14 rectifier diode array is suitable for buck and boost converters due to its large voltage rating and low resistance, making it highly efficient. Additionally, the rectangular package has superior thermal performance, which is beneficial for high-power applications.The VS-VSKJ71/14 rectifier also offers performance advantages in motor control applications. It is designed to provide high pulse-load currents and high-screening voltages. It also offers low reverse recovery time to reduce switching losses. This allows efficient control over the motor even when the supply voltage is low or the load is high.The VS-VSKJ71/14 diode array is also suitable for data and signal transmission due to its low forward voltage drop. This allows it to provide a low impedance source for data or signal transmission. Additionally, it can be used in security systems, including alarms or access control, to prevent false activations through polarity reversal.

Working Principle of VS-VSKJ71/14 Diodes

The VS-VSKJ71/14 diode array is constructed from four silicon rectifier diodes connected in either a series or parallel configuration. When used in series, the diode array acts as a rectifier by allowing current flow in one direction only. When used in parallel, the diode array acts as an AC to DC converter, allowing current flow in both directions and producing a DC output proportional to the input voltage.In series, the VS-VSKJ71/14 diodes make up a half-wave rectifier. Current flows through the forward-biased diode and is blocked in the reverse-biased diode. In parallel, the diodes make up a full-wave rectifier. In this configuration, the current flows through both forward-biased and reverse-biased diodes, producing a DC output with a frequency double that of the input voltage.

Conclusion

The VS-VSKJ71/14 diode array is a highly efficient and versatile rectifier for power conversion and signal processing applications. It offers superior thermal performance, fast control response, and reliable power conversion efficiency. Because of its low forward voltage drop, it is suitable for data and signal transmission, motor control, and security systems. Finally, the diode array can be used as either a half-wave or full-wave rectifier depending on the desired result.
