Taiwan Semiconductor launches a brand new collection of automotive-grade, low-loss diodes in three fashionable industry-standard packages. They supply an automotive-level efficiency improve in current designs and low-power dissipation required for higher-power rectification purposes.
The 1,200-V PLA/PLD collection, with scores of 15 A, 30 A or 60 A, all characteristic low ahead voltage (1.3 Vf max), low reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25°C), and excessive junction temperature (175°C Tj max). They’re obtainable in three packages—ThinDPAK, D2PAK-D, and TO-247BD—for design flexibility.
These 1,200-V diodes present simple drop-in replacements utilizing an industry-standard pinout to enhance effectivity in current designs, in line with the corporate. They can be utilized in quite a lot of purposes resembling three-phase AC/DC converters, server and computing energy (together with AI energy) methods, EV charging stations, on-board battery chargers, Vienna rectifiers, totem pole and bridgeless topologies, inverters and UPS methods, and general-purpose rectification in high-power methods.
The brand new PLA/PLD collection is obtainable in six fashions manufactured to automotive-quality requirements. Two of the fashions, the PLAD15QH (ThinDPAK) and PLDS30QH (D2PAK-D), are totally AEC-Q certified for automotive purposes. The opposite 4 fashions embody the PLAD15Q (ThinDPAK), PLDS30Q (D2PAK-D), PLAH30Q (TO-247BD), and PLAH60Q (TO-247BD).
The PLA/PLD collection are sampling now. They’re in-stock at DigiKey and Mouser. Manufacturing lead instances is 8-14 weeks ARO. Design sources embody datasheets, spice fashions, Foster and Cauer thermal fashions, and CAD information (image, footprint, and 3D mannequin).
The publish 1,200-V diodes provide low loss, excessive effectivity appeared first on EDN.
