A focus on advancement of technology, innovative products and collaboration with customers from design to production has resulted in Diodes Incorporated s SBR portfolio s continual market adoption and increasing market share.

 

SBR, the next generation of rectifiers, is a proprietary and patented Diodes Incorporated technology that utilizes a MOS manufacturing process (traditional Schottky uses a bipolar process) to create a superior two terminal device that has a lower forward voltage (VF) than comparable Schottky diodes while possessing the thermal stability and high reliability characteristics of PN epitaxial diodes.

 

Introducing Diodes Incorporated  s family of Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR), qualified to the AECQ101 high-reliability automotive standard and backed by PPAP level 3 documentation. The parts are 100% avalanche tested and proven to deliver a reverse-avalanche capability of between three to ten times greater than competing Schottky alternatives.

 

Due to the SBR  s unique patented structure, its high-reverse avalanche performance ensures greater guardbanding against negative spikes and inductive load surges, thereby raising the ruggedness and reliability of automotive products. In a typical single-pulse avalanche test, avalanche energy measurements for Schottky and SBR devices were respectively 7mJ and 70mJ for the same circuit conditions.
