Fast Recovery Diode with built-in SBD for temperature detection
FMXB-2102
December, 2005
■General Description
An SBD for overheating detection is incorporated together
with a secondary side rectification FRD into a TO220F
package.
By using the temperature change of the leakage current of the
built-in SBD, high-precision heating protection can be
performed without using expensive temperature sensors, such
as a thermistor and a posistor.
■Applications
• For an overcurrent protection, a partial short circuit and an impedance short protection. An overcurrent protection is possible for a secondary side output, especially for each output of a multi-output power supply.
• For an overcurrent protection of a peak-load power supply units.
