Diotec has introduced a new device called the S16 – a half bridge or so-called voltage doubler, with two diodes in series packaged in one TO-263/D²PAK outline.
Two or three of these devices can be used to form a single- or three-phase input rectifier circuit. It is well suited for automated production processes and eliminates the bridge/heatsink manual assembly process in power supplies and drives up to several hundred Watts. Transistors for such applications are widely available in SMD packages; this new device now allows designers to build the complete power stage in SMD, using automated soldering processes.
The S16 series consists of two nominal 8 A diodes, which can be used to build up a maximum 16 A single-phase or 24 A three-phase bridge. Reverse voltage extends up to 1000 V and forward surge rating is maximum 135 A at 50 Hz half sine wave pulse.
