V40DM63CHM3/I

Diode Arrays Overview

The V40DM63CHM3/I is a dual low-voltage TMBS rectifier in an SMPD (TO-263AC) package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a total maximum average forward rectified current of 40 A, with 20 A per diode. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 250 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +175 °C. At 20 A and 125 °C, the typical instantaneous forward voltage is 0.57 V. The HM3 suffix indicates AEC-Q101 qualification.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Utilizes Trench MOS Schottky technology for ultra-low forward voltage drop and high efficiency operation.
• Features a very low profile design with a typical height of 1.7 mm, suitable for automated placement.
• Includes common cathode configuration with two independent anodes for versatile circuit integration.

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency DC/DC converters
• Switching power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes
• OR-ing diode circuits
• Reverse battery protection

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code includes the 'HM3' suffix to confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Ensure the package variant matches the required SMPD (TO-263AC) footprint. Confirm compliance with halogen-free and RoHS standards as specified for the M3 series. Validate thermal management requirements against the provided derating curves for your specific application environment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when low forward voltage drop is critical for minimizing power losses at high currents. The 60 V rating suits low-voltage applications requiring robust surge handling up to 250 A. Consider the 175 °C junction temperature capability for high-temperature environments. Verify that the SMPD package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context
