Comchip's Schottky Bridge Series are designed to exceed the energy efficiency required in POE application while saving PCB space. The low forward voltage drop Schottky bridges improve rectification efficiency by 25% , and compact footprint of the Mini-DIP/TO-269AA package saves 50% of PCB space compared to 4 individual Schottky in SMA package.
Full wave bridge rectifiers are availabel in 1 amp low forward voltage drop (low Vf) and 2 amp versions. Voltage offering are 40V, 60V, and 100V.
In addition to using the Schottky bridge rectifier, the powered device is coupled with a TVS diodes (TV04A580J-G or SMAJ58A) for surge protection across the rectified output so any impulse are clamped before reaching the sensitive DC/DC converter.
