DGSK36-03CS

Diode Arrays Overview

The DGSK36-03CS is a second-generation Gallium Arsenide Schottky rectifier featuring enhanced barrier height technology. It provides a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 300 V and a DC forward current (IFAV) of 29 A at 25°C case temperature. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.9 V at 7.5 A and 25°C, with a low junction capacitance of 10.7 pF. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse recovery time of 23 ns and a thermal resistance from junction to case of 4.4 K/W.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs Schottky technology with enhanced barrier height for lowest operating forward voltage drop due to minority carrier injection
• Features high switching speed and short, low reverse recovery current peak resulting from the short lifetime of minority carriers
• Maintains low junction capacity independent of temperature variations
• Provides soft turn-off characteristics

Diode Arrays Applications

• AC-DC converters in switched mode power supplies
• DC-DC converters requiring high switching frequency and efficiency
• Telecommunications equipment
• Computer power systems
• Automotive equipment

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking the marking code against official datasheet specifications. Confirm package type availability as the component supports both TO-252 and TO-263 surface mount outlines. Ensure thermal management design accounts for the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values under expected operating conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding high efficiency and low electromagnetic interference. The GaAs material offers superior switching performance compared to silicon alternatives. Consider the specific thermal requirements when choosing between single or dual diode topologies available within the series. Verify that the 300 V rating aligns with system voltage constraints.
