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.

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.

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.
Applications
- Switching mode power supply (SMPS)
- Adapters
- Lighting application
- On-board DC/DC converter
- Automotive charger
- Reverse polarity protection
