Microsemi has announced at PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg that its fast recovery DQ diode product family is now AEC-Q101 qualified for use in the automotive market.
They are designed to offer higher switching speeds and lower switching loss compared to traditional diodes used as rectifiers in AC-DC/DC-DC converters.
Likely automotive applications may include high frequency power factor correction (PFC) boost in hybrid/electric vehicle (H/EV) battery chargers and powertrain (motor drive/energy recovery) platforms.
The big market for DQ diodes is in H/EV charging stations.
Jason Chiang, strategic marketing manager for Microsemi, writes:
Microsemi’s AEC-Q101 qualified DQ diode devices are offered in 600 volt (V), 1,000V and 1,200V ratings and offer 15% lower reverse recovery charge than the previous generation parts.
Last year, Microsemi announced availability of AEC-Q100 qualified IGLOO 2 automotive-grade FPGAs in temperature grade 1.
