Super Barrier Rectifiers Boost Reliability In Automotive Applications

Initial devices in the company’s family of Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR) target automotive applications with a lower forward voltage drop, improved avalanche rating, and higher safe operating area (SOA) than alternative Schottky or ultra-fast diode alternatives. The rectifiers enable automotive designers to increase the reliability of motor control, display panel, and LED lighting circuits. The AECQ101 qualified SBR20A60CTBQ, SBR30A45CTBQ, and SBR3045CTBQ rectifiers handle output currents of 20A, 30A, and 10A respectively. Price is $0.45 each/10,000. DIODES INC., Dallas, TX.
