USE OF TRANSILS AS RECTIFIER DIODES APPLICATION NOTE

2022-05-10
●INTRODUCTION
■Transils are diodes especially designed to dissipate high peak power in avalanche operation. In direct con-duction they have the properties of very good conventional diodes (with the possibility of handling veryhigh surge currents) and perform as well as rectifiers.
■In general, there could be a voltage surge due either to the power supply or to the load. Power supplyovervoltages can be clamped by means of a Transil on the ac side .
■Wherever possible, it is more attractive to use Transils directly as rectifiers instead of protecting separaterectifiers with Transils since the number of components is reduced. The characteristics given in the data-sheets (IFSM, forward voltage drop characteristic) enable calculations to be made in this mode of operation.
