DSSK38-0025BS-TRL

Diode Arrays Overview

The IXYS DSSK38-0025BS-TRL is a dual Schottky rectifier diode array housed in a TO-263AB (D2PAK) surface-mount package. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent chips. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 25V and a continuous forward current of 20A per element. Key electrical characteristics include a low forward voltage drop of approximately 480mV at 20A, ensuring high efficiency in power conversion applications.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual Schottky barrier rectifier structure for efficient power management
• Common cathode configuration simplifies circuit design
• Low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses
• Surface-mount TO-263AB package facilitates automated assembly

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-DC converter output rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in switching power supplies
• Low voltage DC bus protection circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring high efficiency

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'TRL' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the manufacturer is IXYS Corporation to ensure component authenticity. Check RoHS compliance status if required by specific environmental regulations. Ensure the receiving facility has appropriate ESD protection protocols for surface-mount devices.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 25V rating and 20A continuous current per leg. The TO-263AB package offers thermal performance suitable for moderate power dissipation. Consider the common cathode topology for synchronous or asynchronous rectification needs where shared ground reference is beneficial.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS DSSK series of power Schottky rectifiers. It complements through-hole variants like the DSSK38-0025B by providing a surface-mount alternative. The series is designed for general-purpose power rectification in industrial and consumer electronics.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same package may exist from other manufacturers offering similar 25V/20A specifications. Verify thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics before substitution to ensure system performance remains within acceptable limits.
