Vishay Intertechnology FRED Pt® Ultrafast Rectifiers in MicroSMP Package Increase Power Density, Improve Efficiency

MALVERN, Pa., Sept. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced new 200 V FRED Pt^® Ultrafast recovery rectifiers in the eSMP^® series MicroSMP (DO-219AD) package, including the industry's first such device to offer a current rating to 2 A. Measuring 2.5 mm by 1.3 mm with a low 0.65 mm profile, the 1 A VS-1EQH02HM3 and 2 A VS-2EQH02HM3 provide space-saving alternatives to rectifiers in the SMA. Also available are commercial versions, the 1 A VS-1EQH02-M3 and 2 A VS-2EQH02-M3. 

The devices released today increase power density by providing the high current ratings typically reserved for the SMA package in the smaller MicroSMP, which utilizes 57 % less PCB space. For excellent thermal performance, the VS-1EQH02HM3 and VS-2EQH02HM3 feature an asymmetric design with a large metal pad for heat dissipation, while their FRED Pt technology enables ultrafast recovery times down to 13 ns, reduced Q_rr to 11 nC, and soft recovery features over the entire working temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

The AEC-Q101 qualified devices feature low forward voltage drop down to 0.72 V at 1 A, which  reduces power losses and improves efficiency in high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and power factor correction in automotive engine control units (ECU), anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and HID and LED lighting, and telecom and industrial power supplies.

The VS-1EQH02HM3 and VS-2EQH02HM3 offer an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of +260 °C. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the devices are ideal for automated placement and allow for automated optical inspection (AOI) in automotive systems.
