650 V super fast recovery rectifier tube for automotive and industrial applications

     Nexperia, a specialist in high-throughput production of basic semiconductor devices, announced the addition of its FlatPower (CFP) packaged diode portfolio for industrial and automotive applications. New additions include four 650 V, 1 A devices in CFP3 and CFP5 packages for on-board chargers (OBCs) and electric vehicle inverters, as well as power converters, PV inverters and power supplies in industrial applications. Standard products include PNU65010ER (CFP3) and PNU65010EP (CFP5), and AEC-Q101 compliant products include PNU65010ER-Q (CFP3) and PNU65010EP-Q (CFP5).

     These automotive and industrial grade rectifier tubes optimizes ultra-fast soft switching behavior and low forward voltage drop to minimize power loss in high-frequency applications. In contrast to SMA/B packaged devices, the new product uses a CFP pin size, which saves board space and supports reliable high-density design without compromising electrical performance. These 650 V diode devices have been used in a variety of designs by tier 1 automotive and industrial suppliers.

     Nexperia continues to invest and expand production capacity to meet the growing demand for CFP packaging products. To meet the broad demand for high-voltage power applications, Nexperia plans to further expand its 650 V surface-mounted quick-recovery rectifier (up to 30 A), offering a rich product portfolio that exceeds its peers in the market. For products with current ratings greater than 10 A, customers can choose between ultra-fast recovery and fast recovery switch products when selecting forward voltage specifications.

     The first devices with higher current ratings (2 A and 3 A) in CFP packages are scheduled for release in the first quarter of next year. Additional DPAK/D2PAK packages are scheduled for release in the second half of 2023 and 2024, as well as standard and gauge versions.
