Product Type: Rectifiers

GBU150x Family Bridge Rectifiers

Taiwan Semiconductor, a global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs, and ESD protection devices, announces the availability of the GBU150x family of standard bridge rectifiers. These GBU-packaged, 15A-rated rectifiers are available with peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings (VRRM) from 600V to 1000V and 1.0ms peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 600A. The highest-rated (1KV) device, offered at the same price in production quantities as the others in the family, provides an added design margin that can facilitate meeting regulatory standards, such as IEC61000-4-x and IEEE C62.XX ringing waveform requirements, in a wide range of mains-connected power conversion products.

“Since higher-voltage bridge rectifiers typically are more expensive, engineers trained to optimize price and performance will select 600V or 800V PIV devices to achieve cost targets,” said Vice President, TSC Products, Sam Wang. “The GBU1507, with an industry-leading 1000-volt PIV rating, is offered at the same price as the lower-voltage-rated parts in the series. This gives engineers a cost-effective opportunity to add safety margin for new designs as well as upgrade existing GBU sockets.

The devices in the GBU150x Series provide a number of beneficial features, including:

  • Very-High Peak Forward Surge Current – With computing everywhere and electronic lighting replacing electrical lighting, transient and surge survival is a top-of-mind consideration.
  • UL-Recognized File # E-326243 – UL-recognized components simplify agency approvals on the customers’ end products, saving time and money.
  • Standard GBU Package – Meets or exceeds operational specs of competitive devices; offers a drop-in upgrade for existing GBU sockets for requirements from 50 volts to 1000 volts.
    • one part can replace many others
    • simplifies a number of stocked SKUs and reduces BOM costs
  • Industry-Leading 1000V Rating – Added design margin for universal input supplies – at no added cost.
  • Global Materials Compliance – RoHS compliant, halogen-free (per IEC-61249-2-21).

Applications for the GBU150x Series include switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), battery chargers, lighting power supplies, TVs, and adapters.

RS2x Family Rectifiers

Taiwan Semiconductor, a global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs, and ESD protection devices, announces the availability of the RS2x family of fast recovery rectifiers. These 2A-rated diodes are available with reverse voltage ratings of 200V and 1 KV, each available in either SOD-128 or Thin SMA package. These two surface mount packages align with standard PC-board solder pads facilitating interchangeability, with the Thin SMA offering a lower profile and the SOD-128 improved thermal dissipation.

“The RS2x Family offers industry-leading forward voltage drop, switching speed, low-profile, and industry-standard thermally efficient packaging,” said Vice President, TSC Products, Sam Wang. “The combination of medium (200V) and high (1KV) ratings and identical performance in a pair of compatible packages enables design efficiency and manufacturing flexibility.”

The RS2x Family provides a number of beneficial features:

  • Fast Switching and Reverse Recovery Times – Increases efficiency in a wide range of power electronics designs from medium-voltage to high-voltage applications, lowers EMI and RFI, and simplifies snubber and filtering design.
  • Lowest Forward Voltage Drop – Industry-leading maximum Vf (1.06V @ Tj=25°C, Vr=1000V / 1.01V @ Tj=25°C, Vr+200V) improves efficiency and thermal performance.
  • AEC-Q Automotive Qualified Versions – All parts in the family meet stringent automotive reliability and performance criteria – Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation is available.
  • Global Materials Compliance – RoHS compliant, halogen-free (per IEC-61249-2-21), WEEE, REACH, California Prop. 65, JESD-201 Class 2 Whisker Test, and others.
  • Small Surface Mount Packages – Ideal for automated placement. Low-profile packaging with a standard footprint for Thin SMA and thermally efficient SOD-128 packages.

Rectification, blocking, and freewheeling uses for the RxBS Family include enclosed and open frame power supplies and power electronic conversion systems used in automotive, industrial, telecom-datacom-networking systems, LED lighting, battery charging systems, UPS, and inverters.

31DF4 Series – Rectifier Diodes

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSC) holds a leadership position in the diode and rectifier market with a wide range of products from standard, fast, ultrafast, superfast recovery, TVS-transient voltage protection, Zener Schottky, trench Schottky, and more. Rectifiers are offered in a wide range of industry-standard surface mounts as well as through-hole packages. Upgraded alternatives to a wide range of commonly used devices are available. Many rectifiers are offered in AEC-Q automotive-qualified versions, however, all products have sub-4 parts per billion quality levels. Applications of TSC rectifier and diode products include industrial, telecom-datacom, consumer electronics, general-purpose power supply and power conversion, automotive electronics, and more. Rectifier diodes are available from tens of milliamps to tens of amps at a wide range of voltage ranges and technologies. TSC products offer automotive quality and service levels without compromise supported by a global footprint of manufacturing and customer service.

45V and 60V Trench Schottky Rectifiers in SMPc4.6U Package

Taiwan Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a global manufacturer of discrete devices (diodes, MOSFETs) and power management ICs, introduces a new series of 45V and 60V Trench Schottky rectifiers in SMPC4.6U package and AEC-Q101 qualified. Samples and products are in stock and available.

The TSUPxM45SH & TSUPxM60SH Schottky rectifiers with a Tj max 175°C offer low leakage current and low forward voltage drop. The series is optimized for automotive applications with low power loss and high efficiency — the maximum leakage current is only 20mA at high-temperature operation. The series includes 5A/10A/15A forward current and the maximum VRRM is 45V/60V. All these features are packed into the SMPC4.6U (TO-277A compatible) package. SMPC4.6U has a wettable flank package that enhances the solder joint and AOI testability. Designers benefit from a very low profile with a typical height of 1.1mm. The series is RoHS compliant and halogen-free.
