Nexperia adds ultra-fast 650-V recovery rectifiers

Nexperia has  expanded its portfolio of Clip-bonded FlatPower (CFP) packaged diodes for industrial and automotive applications. The new products include four 650-V, 1-A recovery rectifiers available in CFP3 and CFP5 packages for onboard chargers (OBCs) and inverters for electric vehicles, power converters, PV inverters, and power supplies in industrial applications.

The automotive and industrial-grade rectifiers are said to provide “the optimal tradeoff between ultra-fast soft switching behavior and low forward voltage drop to help minimize power losses in high-frequency applications,” according to the company.

In addition, the small footprint of the CFP packages saves board space, compared to SMA/B packaged devices, which enable high-density designs, said Nexperia. These 650-V rectifier diodes have already been used in Tier 1 automotive and industrial designs.

Nexperia plans to invest in increasing its capacity to meet the market demand for CFP-packaged devices. The company also will expand its 650-V offering (up to 30 A) to meet high-voltage power applications. Customers will have an option of ultra-fast or hyper-fast switching devices in a choice of forward voltage specifications for products with a current rating over 10 A, said the company.

The new 1-A products include the standard PNU65010ER (CFP3) and PNU65010EP (CFP5) and the AEC-Q101 qualified PNU65010ER-Q (CFP3) and PNU65010EP-Q (CFP5). The first parts with higher current ratings of 2 A and 3 A in CFP packaging are expected to be released in the first quarter of 2023. DPAK/D2PAK packages will be released later in 2023 and throughout 2024. They also will be available in standard and automotive-qualified versions.
