SM74611 Datasheet Smart Bypass Diode

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments

Overview: Product Folder Sample & Buy Technical Documents Tools & Software Support & munity Reference Design SM74611 SNVS903B – DECEMBER 2012 – REVISED MAY 2016 SM74611 Smart Bypass Diode.

General Description

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 caused by excessive power dissipation in the reverse biased cells.
