Range of clip-bonded power diodes bolstered

Nexperia has added to its expanding portfolio of Clip-bonded FlatPower packaged diodes for industrial and automotive applications. These additions include 32 planar Schottky diodes and eight hyperfast recovery rectifiers in the CFP15B package. They are offered as standard and Q-types that meet AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards. By releasing multiple versions of these devices to the market, the company underscores its commitment to extended manufacturing capacity and accelerated transition to smaller, thermally optimised packages. It provides engineers access to one of the market's most extensive CFP-packaged diodes portfolios.

The operating range for these new planar Schottky diodes is 30-100V and 3-15A. Versions optimised for low forward voltage (VF) (including the PMEG100V080ELPE/-Q) provide low conduction losses and high efficiency for cost-efficient DC-DC converters and in reverse polarity protection applications. These diodes are also offered in low leakage versions with ultra-low reverse current and best-in-class operating temperature capability, delivering excellent robustness against thermal runaway. The eight 200V single-type recovery rectifier devices (PNE200xxEPE/-Q series) provide an average forward current (IF) between 4-10A and complement existing dual-type recovery rectifiers also available from the company.

Utilising the smaller, high-power density CFP15B instead of DPAK or SMB/C packages can save up to 60% of board space while maintaining the same level of electrical performance. This rugged package design allows longer operating times and greater board-level reliability. Its optimised lead form ensures uniform solder joints for improved AOI. A solution that particularly benefits modern ADAS, EV, LED lighting or ECU applications relying on advanced high-density designs.
