Vishay’s FRED Pt ultrafast rectifiers in SlimDPAK combine a low 1.3 mm profile with high forward current ratings to 10 A for 200 V rectifiers and 15 A for 600 V rectifiers. Footprint-compatible with the DPAK package, the devices’ profile is 43% lower to enable slimmer end products, while the heatsink area is 14% larger for lower thermal resistance. In addition, 15 A rectifiers provide an alternative to devices in the D2PAK (TO-263AB) package. The rectifiers’ FRED Pt technology enables ultrafast recovery times down to 14 ns, low reverse recovery charge, and soft recovery features over the entire working temperature range of -55°C to +175°C. The devices’ low forward voltage drop down to 0.71 V at 4 A reduces power losses and improves efficiency. Typical applications for the AEC-Q101 qualified automotive grade rectifiers include DC/DC converters in automotive engine control units (ECU), anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and HID and LED lighting, while commercial / industrial devices are optimized for telecom power supplies.
