FEP16ATA

Diode Arrays Overview

The FEP16ATA is a dual common anode ultra-fast recovery rectifier manufactured by onsemi. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward current of 16 A per diode. The device utilizes a TO-220-3 through-hole package with a plastic housing rated UL 94V-0. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 600 V, a typical forward voltage drop of 1.5 V at 8 A, and a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual common anode configuration for bridge or doubler applications
• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics for high-frequency efficiency
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• Glass passivated chip junction for reliability

Diode Arrays Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converters
• Free-wheeling rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• General purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ATA' against official onsemi documentation, as standard listings often use 'JTA' or 'JT'. Confirm availability status, as many variants in this series are marked as obsolete or end-of-life. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact voltage and current ratings required for the design. Check for RoHS compliance declarations in the latest datasheet revision.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common anode topology is required for synchronous rectification or bridge configurations. The 50 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for frequencies exceeding standard fast recovery diodes. Ensure the thermal management design accounts for the 1.5 V forward voltage drop at the expected load current to maintain junction temperatures within the specified 150°C limit.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The FEP16ATA belongs to the FEP16 series of ultra-fast recovery rectifiers from onsemi. This series is designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications requiring low reverse recovery charge. The family includes various voltage ratings and package options, with the TO-220-3 providing a balance of current handling and thermal performance for medium-power designs.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the FEP16JTA (dual common anode, 600V) and FES16 series components. Verify pinout compatibility and reverse recovery time specifications before substitution. Note that Fairchild Semiconductor parts may require nomenclature updates due to integration with onsemi.
