Diodes Incorporated Launches High-Efficiency Automotive Rectifiers…

Event summary

Diodes Incorporated introduced a family of automotive-compliant field-plated Super Barrier Rectifier (SBRFP) devices, including the 2A SBRFP2M60P1Q, 3A SBRFP3M60SAFQ, and 8A SBRFP8A60P5Q.
The SBRFP8A60P5Q delivers the industry’s lowest maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.55V at 8A, reducing conduction losses.
The SBRFP2M60P1Q and SBRFP3M60SAFQ offer industry-leading reverse leakage current (IR) performance, with maximum currents of 12µA and 7µA at 25°C and 125°C.
The devices are available in various packages, including PowerDI®123, PowerDI5, and SMAF, and are priced between $0.08 and $0.26 per 1,000-piece quantity.

The big picture

Diodes Incorporated’s new SBRFP devices target the growing demand for efficient and reliable power management solutions in automotive systems. As electric vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) become more prevalent, the need for high-performance rectifiers that can handle high-current applications and extreme temperatures is critical. The launch positions Diodes to capitalize on this trend, particularly as automakers seek to enhance the efficiency and robustness of their electrical systems.
