CMEDA-6I BK

Diode Arrays Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp CMEDA-6I BK is a surface mount monolithic, isolated silicon quad switching diode array housed in an SOT-28 package. It features four independent diodes with closely matched forward voltage characteristics. The device supports a continuous reverse voltage of 60 V and a continuous forward current of 250 mA per diode. Power dissipation is rated at 350 mW, with an operating junction temperature range from -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Four monolithic isolated diodes integrated into a single compact structure
• Fast switching capability designed for high-speed applications
• Tightly matched forward voltage (VF) across all channels

Diode Arrays Applications

• Computer peripheral equipment requiring high speed switching
• Signal rectification circuits demanding matched VF performance
• General purpose switching arrays in compact surface mount designs

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your application. The manufacturer offers distinct plating options that must be explicitly requested during procurement. Confirm whether Tin/Lead or Lead-Free plating is needed by adding the appropriate suffix to the part number when placing orders. Ensure compatibility with your assembly process requirements before finalizing the purchase.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for multiple independent switching paths is required. The SOT-28 package provides space efficiency compared to discrete components. Consider the thermal resistance and power dissipation limits relative to your circuit's load conditions. Verify that the 60V reverse voltage rating meets your system's peak inverse voltage requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to Central Semiconductor's SUPERmini™ line of surface mount arrays. It utilizes monolithic silicon technology to ensure consistent electrical characteristics between the internal diodes. The isolation between the four diodes allows for flexible circuit configurations without cross-talk interference common in shared substrate designs.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

CMEDA-6I BK is listed as End of Life with no direct replacement part number provided. Stock availability may be limited. Designers should evaluate alternative quad diode arrays in the SOT-28 package or similar form factors that meet the 60V and 250mA specifications.
