FERD40U45CG-TR

Diode Arrays Overview

The FERD40U45CG-TR is a dual ultra-low forward voltage Field-Effect Rectifier (FERD) diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It features a 45 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a continuous forward current of 40 A per diode in a common cathode configuration. The device utilizes proprietary technology to optimize the forward voltage versus leakage current ratio for its silicon surface area. Packaged in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount housing, it supports high-frequency operation with stable leakage characteristics over reverse voltage variations.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G-TR' against official STMicroelectronics documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the component matches the exact part number for the dual 45V 40A FERD specification. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical parameters before integration into design specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low conduction losses are critical in dual-diode topologies requiring 45V blocking capability. The D2PAK package offers thermal management advantages for surface-mount designs. Compare the forward voltage and leakage current trade-offs against standard recovery or Schottky alternatives to determine suitability for specific frequency and efficiency requirements.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the FERD40U45C series of dual ultra-low Vf Field-Effect Rectifiers. It shares the core technological foundation with variants like FERD40M45CT and FERD60U45C, differing primarily in packaging and specific electrical tolerances. The series targets applications demanding high efficiency in compact power supply architectures.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

FERD40M45CT serves as a functional alternative within the same series, offering identical electrical ratings but typically in a TO-220AB through-hole package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements when substituting between surface-mount and through-hole packages.
