Revolutionizing Power Efficiency with STMicroelectronics FERD40H100SG-TR Diode
In modern power electronics, component selection directly impacts system performance and energy efficiency. The STMicroelectronics FERD40H100SG-TR Field Effect Rectifier Diode emerges as a game-changing solution for engineers seeking superior rectification capabilities in demanding applications. This 100V 40A diode combines advanced semiconductor technology with robust packaging to deliver exceptional performance across industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors.
Technical Excellence in Rectification
At the core of this device lies STMicroelectronics' proprietary FERD (Field Effect Rectifier Diode) technology, which redefines conventional diode performance metrics. The device's 100V maximum reverse voltage rating and 40A average rectified current capability make it ideal for high-power systems requiring reliable voltage blocking and current handling. Unlike traditional rectifiers, this diode maintains exceptional efficiency through its remarkably low forward voltage drop of 705mV at 40A, translating to significant power loss reduction in switching circuits.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Max Reverse Voltage | 100V |
| Forward Current | 40A |
| Forward Voltage Drop | 705mV @ 40A |
| Leakage Current | 190µA @ 100V |
Performance Advantages
Engineered for high-frequency applications, this diode features fast recovery characteristics (<500ns) that minimize switching losses in power conversion circuits. The surface mount D²PAK package ensures excellent thermal management through its low thermal resistance design, maintaining junction temperatures below 175°C even under continuous operation. This thermal resilience, combined with the device's 190µA reverse leakage current at maximum voltage, guarantees long-term reliability in harsh environments.
The TO-263AB package variant offers three-terminal configuration for improved mechanical stability while maintaining compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes. This packaging innovation enables seamless integration into power supplies, motor drives, and renewable energy systems where space constraints and thermal performance are critical design considerations.
Design Versatility
From industrial motor drives to automotive charging systems, the FERD40H100SG-TR demonstrates remarkable adaptability. Its combination of high current capability and compact surface mount form factor makes it particularly suitable for:
- High-efficiency SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supplies)
- Electric vehicle power systems
- Renewable energy inverters
- Industrial motor control circuits
- High-current DC power distribution
When compared to conventional Schottky diodes, this device offers superior reverse leakage performance while maintaining comparable forward voltage characteristics. This unique balance makes it the preferred choice for applications requiring both high efficiency and voltage robustness.
