Rectifiers meet automotive quality standards
Taiwan Semiconductor offers two series of high-voltage rectifiers, both manufactured to AEC-Q101 standards for reliable automotive performance. The fast-recovery HS1Q series provides a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V, a forward current of 1 A, and a reverse recovery time of 75 ns. The standard-recovery SxY series includes 1600-V rectifiers with forward currents of 1 A (S1Y) and 2 A (S2Y). Both series are also available in commercial-grade versions.
These devices operate within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +175°C and feature a low forward voltage drop and high surge current capability. They are well-suited for bootstrap, freewheeling, and desaturation functions in IGBT, MOSFET, and wide-bandgap gate drivers, particularly in electric vehicles and high-voltage battery systems.
The HS1Q and SxY rectifiers are available from distributors, including Mouser, Arrow Electronics, and DigiKey. Lead time for production quantities is 8 to 14 weeks. Production part approval process (PPAP) documentation is available.
