DSSK16-01AS-TRL

Diode Arrays Overview

The DSSK16-01AS-TRL is a Schottky diode array manufactured by IXYS, featuring a common cathode configuration. It is housed in a TO-263-3 (D2PAK) surface-mount package with two leads and a tab. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V and provides an average forward current of 8 A per diode, totaling 16 A for the pair. The typical forward voltage is low, ensuring efficient power conversion. This component is designed for high-performance applications requiring low switching losses and minimal reverse recovery charge.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Very low forward voltage drop for enhanced efficiency
• Extremely low switching losses due to Schottky technology
• Low reverse leakage current values
• Epoxy resin meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in power supplies
• Reverse polarity protection circuits
• Synchronous rectification applications

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against official IXYS documentation to confirm the reel packaging specification. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid manufacturer traceability. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compliance with current electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions before finalizing orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a common cathode Schottky array is required in a D2PAK package. The 100V rating suits low-voltage systems, while the 8A per diode capability handles moderate current loads. Consider the thermal performance of the exposed tab for heat dissipation requirements in dense PCB layouts compared to through-hole alternatives.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS DSS series of Schottky barrier rectifiers. The 'K' suffix typically denotes the specific TO-263/TO-263AB package variant. The '-TRL' suffix indicates the product is supplied in tape and reel format for automated surface-mount assembly processes, distinguishing it from loose or tube-packaged variants.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the DSS16-01AS-TRL for single diode configurations or other IXYS Schottky arrays with matching 100V and 8A ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal resistance parameters when replacing with components from different manufacturers to ensure circuit integrity.
