Nexperia releases 650 V Super fast recovery rectifier tube for automotive and industrial applications

     Nexperia announced the addition of its FlatPower (CFP) package 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). 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.
