Targeting the automotive, communications infrastructure, and server markets, the new SiGe 1-3 A rectifiers are particularly beneficial in high-temperature applications such as LED lighting, engine control units, and fuel injection. Design engineers using these new, extremely low-leakage devices can now rely on an extended safe operating area with no thermal runaway up to 175 degrees Celsius. At the same time, they can optimize their designs for greater efficiency, which is not feasible using the fast-recovery diodes commonly employed in such high-temperature applications. By increasing the forward voltage (Vf) and the current (Qrr), SiGe rectifiers offer a 10-20% lower conduction loss advantage.
The PMEG SiGe devices (PMEGxGxELR/P) are housed in CFP3 and CFP5 packages of a size and thermal efficiency that have become the industry standard for power diodes. By featuring a solid copper clip, the thermal resistance of the packages is reduced and heat transfer to the environment is optimized, enabling smaller, more compact PCB designs. Furthermore, simple pin-to-pin replacements of Schottky and fast recovery diodes are possible when switching to SiGe technology.
Jan Fischer, Product Manager at Nexperia, commented: “Utilizing Nexperia’s innovative Silicon Germanium technology gives engineers unprecedented options for designing their power circuits and ultimately building market-leading products. SiGe perfectly complements Nexperia’s power diode offering, which includes more than 100 Schottky and fast recovery rectifiers in the clip-on FlatPower Package (CFP). And we continue to expand this portfolio to always offer our customers a part that is the ideal choice for their application.”
The first four AEC-Q101-certified 120V SiGe rectifiers are now in mass production. Eight additional 150V and 200V devices are available as samples.
