Frequently asked questions

Which family is recommended for PFC working in continuous mode?

The 'R' family is usually recommended for this application.

What is the recommended diode family for PFC applications operating on a wide mains voltage range?

The 'R' family is usually recommended for PFCs designed to work in a wide mains voltage range (85 V-264 V) with an operating junction temperature close to 100 °C.

What is the maximum junction temperature before thermal runaway for an 8 A 'R' family diode under specific conditions?

Under conditions of 400 V output, 85 V input, and 10 °C/W thermal resistance, the maximum junction temperature is 184 °C.
