Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant commercial grade material categorization. Confirm that the base part number matches the required voltage rating and package type before procurement. Ensure the component meets the necessary environmental standards for the intended application environment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge. The dual common cathode configuration allows for efficient use of space in bridge or center-tapped topologies. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the peak reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit voltage under all operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the BYQ28E series of dual common cathode ultrafast rectifiers. It shares design features with the UG10xCT series. The product line includes variants with different voltage ratings and packages such as ITO-220AB and D2PAK. The HE3 suffix denotes an automotive-grade version qualified to AEC-Q101 standards.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BYQ28E-100-E3/45 and BYQ28E-150-E3/45 for lower voltage ratings. For automotive applications, consider the HE3 suffix variants if AEC-Q101 qualification is required. Cross-referencing with the UG10BCT series may provide equivalent performance in similar packages.
