Taiwan Semiconductor, a global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs and ESD protection, has introduced two new series of high-voltage rectifiers manufactured to AEC-Q101 standards and offered in automotive- and commercial-grade versions.

The fast-recovery HS1Q Series has a 1,200 V, 1 A rating and the 1,600 V standard-recovery SxY Series comes in 1 A and 2 A configurations. The rectifiers feature 175° C maximum junction temperature, high-voltage reverse recovery, low forward voltage drop and high surge current capability.

The DO-214AC (SMA) package is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation is available.

The HS1Q and SxY Series are well suited to bootstrap, freewheeling and desaturate applications for IGBT, MOSFET and WBG gate drivers used in EVs and high-voltage battery systems.

Samples of the rectifiers are available now and the lead time for production quantities is 8-14 weeks. Design resources include comprehensive datasheets, spice models and CAD files.

“We are one of the few suppliers offering AEC-Q rectifiers with ratings above 1,000 volts that have a combination of low forward voltage—plus fast 75-nanosecond reverse-recovery time,” said Sam Wang, vice president, TSC Products. “The rugged nature of their construction allows the new HS1Q and SxY Series to withstand high inrush currents, which enhances reliability in automotive and non-automotive applications alike.”
