Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The base part number without suffixes differs from the M3 variant regarding compliance. Confirm that the HM3 suffix is required if automotive qualification under AEC-Q101 is necessary for the application environment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high efficiency and low thermal resistance in surface mount designs. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified thermal characteristics, particularly the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when operating without a heatsink. Validate performance parameters against actual operating temperatures.
