SM74611 Smart Bypass Diode

The SM74611 device is a smart bypass diode used in photovoltaic applications. The SM74611 device serves the purpose of providing an alternate path for string current when parts of the panel are shaded during normal operation. Without bypass diodes, the shaded cells will exhibit a hot spot which is c.
