Low-profile ultrafast rectifiers boost power density

Also available are commercial versions, the 1A VS-1EQH02-M3 and 2 AVS-2EQH02-M3. The devices increase power density by providing the high current ratings typically reserved for the SMA package in the smaller MicroSMP, which utilizes 57% less PCB space.

For excellent thermal performance, the VS-1EQH02HM3 and VS-2EQH02HM3 feature an asymmetric design with a large metal pad for heat dissipation, while their FRED Pt technology enables ultrafast recovery times down to 13ns, reduced Q_rr to 11 nC, and soft recovery features over the entire working temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

The AEC-Q101 qualified devices feature low forward voltage drop down to 0.72V at 1A, which reduces power losses and improves efficiency in high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and power factor correction in automotive engine control units (ECU), anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and HID and LED lighting, and telecom and industrial power supplies.

The VS-1EQH02HM3 and VS-2EQH02HM3 offer an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of +260 °C. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the devices are ideal for automated placement and allow for automated optical inspection (AOI) in automotive systems.
