AR30N60
Description
ACTIVE / SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER
Pin Assignments
The AR30N60 is a high-performance Active/Synchronous Rectifier used for secondary-side synchronous rectification with the output voltage at less than 10V.
By integrating MOSFET and controller, the AR30N60 emulates the characteristics of a near-ideal diode rectifier. The combination not only reduces the energy consumption of the secondary-side synchronous rectifier, it also improves the power dissipation of the sub-system on the primary side.
The SYNC feature allows the embedded MOSFET of the AR30N60 to immediately turn OFF as soon as the primary-side switch turns ON, preventing the unfavorable reverse condition of the synchronous rectifier.
