DSA30C100PB

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSA30C100PB is a dual Schottky diode array manufactured by IXYS, housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent anodes. The device supports a continuous forward current of 15 A per diode and withstands a repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 780 mV at rated current and a peak non-repetitive surge current capability of 320 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, ensuring reliability in high-power applications.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common cathode Schottky architecture for efficient power rectification
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics to minimize conduction losses
• Robust thermal management capabilities via TO-220AB packaging
• High surge current handling capacity for transient protection

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converter output rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in motor drive circuits
• Power supply input rectification stages
• Battery charging system protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as IXYS was acquired by Littelfuse. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package variant (e.g., PB for TO-220AB). Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific datasheet revisions prior to procurement to align with current manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky configuration with a 100 V rating is required. The 15 A continuous current rating suits moderate-to-high power designs. Consider the TO-220-3 package for board-mount applications requiring effective heat dissipation without additional heatsinking infrastructure in low-duty cycle scenarios.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The DSA30C100PB belongs to the DSA30C series of silicon Schottky barrier rectifiers. This series is designed for general-purpose power switching applications. The part integrates two discrete diodes into a single compact package, reducing board space compared to using individual components while maintaining high efficiency and fast switching speeds typical of Schottky technology.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The DSA30C200PB serves as a direct functional substitute within the same series, offering identical pinout and mechanical dimensions but with an increased 200 V reverse voltage rating. Verify that the higher voltage rating does not impact thermal performance or cost constraints in the specific design implementation.
